Ronon palmed the door of his quarters open and pulled Orla inside before she had the chance to resist. Once inside he enveloped her in his arms, kissing her gently but deeply.
Orla reluctantly pulled away and looked up at the Satedan "Ronon I really have to go," She lamented ignoring her body which was screaming at her to stay put.
"Stay, I'll deal with Rodney." Ronon huskily breathed against her throat.
"Ronon I have a feeling Colonel Sheppard wouldn't be very happy with you "dealing" with Dr. McKay. Besides, don't you have a mission on "Planet Mud"? " she replied.
Ronon growled as he kissed his way down her throat knowing she was right, but his body was telling him it wanted to explore her, not the ruins with Rodney and Sheppard.
At that moment Orla's ear piece squawked to life.
"Dr. Grant! I believe you are working today? Though for the life of me I can't see you anywhere in the lab! So unless you're now the invisible woman and actually standing in front of me, I suggest you get yourself here now!" Orla winced at her boss's voice.
Orla stood on tip toe and pulled Ronon's head down for one last kiss.
"Now I really have to go" she panted, "Be safe today Ronon. See you tonight?" she smiled.
"Okay, tonight little one." Ronon rumbled.
They walked out of Ronon's quarters into the hallway going their separate ways to their days work.
Colonel Sheppard, Ronon and Teyla all stood in the gate room waiting for McKay as usual. He was ten minutes late.
"Nice of you to join us, Rodney." Sheppard grumbled when McKay eventually joined them complaining that he had far better things to do and couldn't they just send Major Lorne's team instead.
"No Rodney, we can't send Major Lorne's team they're scheduled to go off world later today." Sheppard sighed.
"Remind me, oh wondrous leader, why we can't just take a jumper to these ruins?" McKay whined.
"Because Meredith, the terrain doesn't allow for a jumper to land, too many trees and besides jumpers tend to sink in mud." Sheppard retorted.
"Call me Meredith again Sheppard and so help me I will…" McKay spluttered.
"You'll what Rodney? Remember, Atlantis loves me." Sheppard smugly replied.
"McKay we're already behind on our departure time how much longer do we have to wait for Zelenka?" Sheppard asked glancing at his watch yet again.
"Zelenka is not moving from my lab under pain of death, I have my people you know. I will know if he leaves." Rodney prattled.
"McKay." Shepperd hissed. "You wanted him, something about cutting down the time playing in a field of mud. You ranted at me for ten minutes in the mess hall this morning about how you needed him. Something about the rest of your team lacking the mental ability to understand anything beyond the command "to shoot". So if we wanted back on Atlantis quickly we needed Radek, remember?" Shepperd spoke in tones usually reserved for drunken Marines.
"I might have said something like that." Rodney nervously fiddled with his TAC vest. "Look, if you want to take my brilliant mind and stick it in a mud patch instead of sorting out the diagnostic readings Woolsey wants ASAP then, Zelenka will have to stay. Or you can talk to Woolsey. By all means explain that the strange readings from the Chair pale into insignificance when faced with "Planet Mud"." Rodney fumed.
Everyone in the gate room was watching.
"Right, if we get you another scientist, it should cut our time in mud central, right?" Sheppard sneered,
"If you can find a decent one" McKay snorted.
A roaring sound approached Rodney to his left, the scientist turned to see Ronon giving him a look not too dissimilar to the one he gave him when they first met, when Rodney was hanging upside down.
"Ronon, easy big guy." Sheppard spoke softly.
Sheppard suddenly looked at the Satedan with a typical goofy Sheppard smile. You could almost see the light bulb above his head as the idea struck him.
"Hey big guy, how does Orla feel about playing in the mud?" he asked.
The devilish grin that spread over Ronon's face left his team in doubt that he was about to find out. He quickly turned and headed for the labs to get his woman.
Sheppard chuckled quietly to himself, pleased the big guy seemed to have found some peace at last with the little scientist. His Marines were even happier though.
"Great Sheppard, so now we have Mr & Mrs. Caveman on the team" McKay muttered.
Both Sheppard and Teyla turned to McKay and harshly shouted, "RODNEY."
