Here is the rest of part IX and all of X. (the notebooks weren't so hard to find after all) Please enjoy the latest!
When Ronon moved to take his seat, Lex finally noticed Elizabeth. Her eyes lit up with interest. "What's this? Finally found a wrench that'll satisfy you?" she laughed and the men joined in.
"Kind of skinny isn't she?" one man called his face ruddy from the potent wine. "Careful you don't snap her in half."
The rest of the table picked up on the fun and soon merry insults and crass jokes where being exchanged up and down the table.
Elizabeth was bright red in embarrassment, standing helplessly next to Ronon's chair. She didn't notice that the pirate Queen had been staring at her all the while. But Ronon did. He sat there scowling darkly, fingering his still full wine goblet.
Lex pulled her gaze away from Elizabeth to take in the general debauchery of the room. Annoyed she banged her glass on the table. "Enough!"
Everyone stilled instantly and looked her way.
"All of you out!"
They hurried to obey, even in their drunken states they knew to disobey would mean a quick death when their leader got in one of her dark moods. Ronon stood as well, pulling Elizabeth with him.
"No," the Queen said, reaching a hand towards them. "You stay."
Ronon nodded and sat back down, not letting go of his grip on Elizabeth's upper arm.
"Out too Leo," she said and the blind man scurried out behind the last of the pirates.
For a long while Lex starred moodily into the dregs of her cup. Ronon waited, his body tense, staring straight ahead not really seeing the tapestry that adorned the wall he was looking at. He did not trust the pirate Queen and he had a feeling she knew this and thus didn't fully trust him either.
Abruptly she stood and looked at Ronon. "With those fools gone we can finally discuss something of interest and intelligence. Come with me," she walked towards a dark archway partially hidden by another tapestry. She called over her shoulder, "Bring the girl too."

The two Lantians followed Lex down the dark passageway, Elizabeth holding onto the back of Ronon's shirt as not to get lost in the pitch black that the pirate knew so well.
Lex pushed a small door open and entered a bedroom. Lit with candles, Ronon and Elizabeth stood awkwardly at the foot of a huge four poster bed while Lex moved towards a wood cabinet pushed against the far wall. She pulled out three tumblers and two nondescript bottles of hard liquor. From one she poured a clear liquid equally into the glasses. The other she added quite an amount of amber colored alcohol into two of them and just a splash into her own glass.
"Drink," she ordered, handing over the spirits.
Ronon tossed the entire glass down in one go and stared hard at Lex, showing no fear.
Lex laughed at him and did the same. Elizabeth, however, tentatively sipped at hers, trying to hide a wince at the burning taste. While she drank Lex interrogated Ronon about his time on the Dissolution.
"Good," the pirate queen nodded at the end of his report, "You will be the ship's new captain."
She strode to the main door and stuck her head out to address her guard, "Tell Leo to send word to the Dissolution to land in the Yard and its captain to join me for breakfast whenever I get up tomorrow." She closed the door and turned towards her "guests".
"Where did you find her?" she demanded of Ronon, not taking her eyes off Elizabeth's scantily clad body.
"A world we raided," Ronon struggled to keep the anger out of his voice as Lex trailed her fingers down Elizabeth's cheek.
At the pirate's touch, Elizabeth froze, eyes darting between Lex and Ronon, not sure what to do.
Ronon started forward to stop Lex's roving hands before they went to far.
Lex whirled around a dagger suddenly in hand and fire in her eyes. "Not a step further. Go sit down and be quiet, you can watch. Try to stop me and I'll slit her throat."
Ronon stopped moving, knowing she was serious. Lex continued, "I have just given you a position of power and a ship. This night with your slave will be your thanks to me." She laughed, "But don't worry, you'll both enjoy it. The aphrodisiac I've given you should kick in any minute now. So sit," she pointed to a plain chair next to the bed, "you should have a good enough view from there."
Reluctantly Ronon sat down glowering. Elizabeth opened her mouth to protest but before she could get a word out Lex covered her mouth with her own, kissing her hard. At first Elizabeth struggled,, but Lex was strong and held her tight against her. However, gradually Elizabeth relaxed into the kiss, the aphrodisiac sensitizing her, causing her to respond.
Ronon clenched his hands into tight fists to keep himself from leaping up to tear the pirate bitch's throat out for touching Elizabeth. He looked around the room for something to distract him from the women making out in front of him. His eyes fell on a star map hanging over the empty fireplace. Around its border were Ancient symbols. Although he couldn't read the language, he recognized the bottom center symbol; ZPM. What he had been sent here looking for all those months ago was hanging right before him.
A low moan brought his attention back to the women. What he saw distracted him completely from his find. Lex had ripped off Elizabeth's top and pushed her back to lie on the bed and was now straddling her, sucking on breast. Elizabeth, herself, had her eye shut tight with pleasure and was arching up trying to get more contact.
Anger and arousal shot through Ronon's veins. It should be him causing those whimpers and looks of pleasure on Elizabeth's face. He could feel himself growing hard as he watched Lex rip off her own top revealing full breats. Leaning over Elizabeth, she captured her swollen lips in another bruising kiss, their sensitive nipples rubbing together causing them both to moan.
Ronon wrenched his gaze away from the half naked women to focus back on the map. He tried not to glance back at the writhing forms on the large bed while he crept over to the fireplace.
Reaching up, Dex carefully pulled the map off the wall. Neither woman noticed him rolling it up and sticking it down his pant leg.
He turned back to the bed, ready to rescue Elizabeth, gabbing up the bottle of clear liquor to knock Lex out. The pirate queen was naked now, grinding herself into Elizabeth's thigh. Ronon watched transfixed as her hand slid up Weir's leg and under the short slave skirt.
White hot rage coursed through Ronon. How dare that bitch touch his woman that way. He smashed the bottle across the back of Lex's head with more force then necessary then pushed her roughly off Elizabeth and onto the floor.
Elizabeth, still under the strong pull of the aphrodisiac, groaned painfully at the absence of contact. Ronon stared down at her wanting nothing more than to climb on top of her and pound into her body until she came, screaming his name. He wanted to erase the pirate queen's touch, to mark her as his.
Fighting the intense arousal, the drug working through his system, he turned to the wardrobe and began digging inside for clothes for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was floating in a haze of pleasure. Her nipples were tight, sensitive points and there was a tingling in her core like an itch she couldn't scratch. Suddenly she was being doused in cool water which momentarily brought her back to her senses. She opened her eyes to see Ronon standing above her holding a bucket.
"We have to get out of here," his voice was lower than usual and had a sensual note that washed over Elizabeth like silk.
Ronon noticed her slipping back into the hazy pleasure. "Dr. Weir!" he barked and was relieved to see a flicker in her eyes. "Quick, put these on," he commanded throwing the leather pants, corset, and silky blouse at her.
"We need to get out of here. Now!"
Elizabeth scrambled into the clothing, trying to ignore how the fabric brushed her skin and sent sparks to her groin. She could feel Ronon's hungry gaze on her and she knew she should be embarrassed, but right now she couldn't bring herself to care. All she could think about was him throwing her down on the bed and giving her the release she craved.
Ronon motioned to the door, refraining from touching her, knowing if he did he wouldn't be able to stop.
"Just follow me. Don't say anything."
Elizabeth nodded and had to force herself to keep her eyes on his face. Once again she found herself following Ronon through a maze of dark corridors.
