The child sat in his makeshift schoolroom learning from one of the number of books his step-father had brought with them while Ammonet watched through the window. She was unsure if it was a good idea to keep the boy here. He was no longer needed for a host now Apophis was gone and he had given Daniel Jackson all the knowledge he had but the other System Lords would still view him as a threat if they ever found out about him. Daniel however was insistent that the boy stay with them and be raised as their son.
She assumed this came from the part of him that remained from before he had been gifted with the knowledge but had agreed. The child would be a good bargaining chip later if they had any disagreements.
Their relationship, for want of a better term, was interesting. Thanks to his drug she needed to have sex with him at least once a day. Ammonet could not deny that he knew how to pleasure her, but there was something about his declaration he wanted to ally with her that bothered Ammonet. His decision to drug her to get her attention made sense at the time but now as she had agreed to the offer she wanted it removed. He claimed he wanted her as a co-ruler then he needed to prove it to her by trusting her the way he wanted her to trust him.
Heading back to her room she decided that was the first issue she needed to remove before she would accept him completely.
Stepping into her rooms Ammonet frowned when she heard noises coming from her bedchamber, opening the door she stared horrified at what she saw. Her Lo'taur Killa on her hands and knees in the centre of Ammonet's bed with Daniel, both naked. Daniel riding the servant girl as Killa moaned in pleasure.
"What are you doing?" Ammonet demanded, her eyes glowing gold in anger.
"My Queen," Killa gasped in horror trying to scramble away, unable to as Daniel had one hand on her hip and the other on her neck keeping her in position.
"Just a little relaxation while you were busy," Daniel replied smugly, not stopping his movement into the girl.
Enraged Ammonet grabbed Daniel's arm and wrenched him off the servant girl, even with his enhanced knowledge she was stronger. She turned to Killa who scrambled to stand shaking with fear. The young woman tried to hide her nakedness with her arms as Ammonet glared at her.
"Return to your rooms and pray I am in a better mood when I call you," Ammonet snapped, grabbing the dress discarded on the chair beside her and launching it at the girl.
Meekly Killa left the room and Ammonet turned to Daniel. He was sitting watching her, arms folded across his chest.
"Could you finish for her?" he asked with a slight smirk.
Moving to him Ammonet pulled his arms so they were above his head then used the leather cuff attached to the headboard to hold him there.
"This is new," Daniel laughed testing his bonds, grimacing when he realised there was no give and he was at her mercy.
"Tell me," Ammonet stated coldly, "Why I should not leave you like this and take what I need?"
Daniel smirked at her, "It's the less enjoyable option."
"Tell me why I should not just leave you here?" she asked again dragging her nails down his chest making him wince slightly, "I can easily have someone collect what I need to ensure I remain healthy each day."
He shrugged, "Wouldn't work, I need to take something too and I won't tell you what that is."
"You came to me," she reminded him, "And you ensured intimacy. Why do all that when you simply wanted any female?"
Daniel looked up at her interested, "You're jealous."
"Jealous?"
He laughed, "Yes, jealous that I just screwed your Lo'taur. Then again if I knew I was trusted, if you accepted me completely I wouldn't need to find amusement elsewhere."
He pulled at his bonds again and Ammonet suddenly understood everything, about the drug, the mocking and now using her Lo'taur as a pawn.
Daniel needed her.
If he had just wanted an alliance with a Goa'uld there were plenty he could have sought, ones with less history or if he wanted one with history then there was Osiris whose new host, if Osiris was to be believed, was his former lover.
"Tell me, Dan'iel," she deliberately used her host's inflection when saying his name seeing him flinch slightly, "Why come to me? Why not one of the other System Lords? Why not Osiris?"
Daniel grimaced, struggling against his bonds but said nothing.
"Tell me," Ammonet insisted, "Tell me or we are done."
Gritting his teeth Daniel ground out, "Because it always had to be you."
Smiling smugly she kissed him before climbing onto Daniel, lowering herself slowly upon him hearing him moan in relief. He finished quickly before she felt much but the aim was to assist him and now she knew his reason for coming to her.
Ammonet knew she had to ensure he was linked to her fully so no other Goa'uld could get the information in his head.

Daniel lay as Ammonet fixed herself annoyed at himself for not thinking his plan through properly. The whole point of having sex with Killa was for Ammonet to move him closer to her, not for her to know that he had to be with her.
The beautiful woman fixed her hair and checked her make-up before she took the seat from the vanity table and sat so they could look at one another.
"Am I getting out of these cuffs?" Daniel asked tugging at them once more.
"Soon," she replied, "First we are going to discuss the terms of our agreement."
Daniel frowned, "I'm guessing you're adding a clause that states no sex with Killa."
"No," she smiled sweetly, "But I am assuming that if you wish to bed other women you will therefore have no issues with the other men I take to my bed." At the slight tightening of his eyes triumph filled her, "I take that you would not like that."
"You're mine," Daniel stated darkly pulling sharply at his bonds.
Ammonet released the cuff allowing him free, "And you are mine, the only way another occupies our bed is if we are both there."
"Sounds fair," Daniel noted as he dressed quickly and took a seat on the bed across from her once more, "What else?"
"Why have you not asked to speak to my host?" Ammonet asked seeing him flinch, "You do not even like her name to be spoken."
"She's my past," Daniel told her sharply, "I am beyond the man she was married to. The mate I need to take now must be one who is my equal."
Ammonet mused this over before asking, "Then why me? If my host is your past?"
"Because you are both," Daniel rested his hand on her cheek, "You comprise both my past and the future in the one. The body I know that fulfils all my needs with a mind and ambition equal to my own."
Ammonet stood and folded her arms across her chest, "As you need me you will give me the antidote then," she held up a hand stopping him from speaking, "You and I will complete the bonding ritual."
Daniel's lips firmed for a moment as he drew the knowledge from the large store in his mind, "That will connect us completely, body and mind."
Ammonet nodded, "It will make us the partners you state you want us to be. And enhance our physical pleasure also."
"The ritual has never been performed with a non-Goulded human," Daniel noted.
Ammonet nodded, "True but your mind is not like a normal humans. We will bond and then we shall rule the galaxy together. Firstly however you shall give me the antidote."
Daniel chuckled looking amused, "There is no antidote."
"What?"
"I gave you it the first day," he confessed.
Ammonet frowned, "Then everything you said was a lie?"
"Everything except needing you," Daniel answered before adding, "My love."
Walking towards him Ammonet folded her arms across her chest, "Lie to me again and there will be consequences, from now on we are one."
Daniel nodded before he leaned in and kissed her.
The bonding ritual was rarely done.
Mostly because it was not possible to betray the one they had bonded with and a Goa'uld would always choose themselves when given the option.
Pleased that it had only taken just over two weeks for Ammonet to fully accept him, Daniel studied the ritual exhaustively to understand what it would do and ensure it wouldn't harm either of them.
Ammonet looked radiant Daniel thought when she walked into the room where he waited wearing a dress of silver and black to match the outfit he wore. A silver tiara held her long dark hair back from her face.
It was nothing like the headdress she wore as the Queen of Apophis.
Instead of being ostentatious it was intricate and delicate suiting the host better.
She was now Daniel's Queen and soon to be ruler of the galaxy.
They stood within the small storage room in the ship that had mirrors added to the walls for the ritual; they would reflect all the energy to ensure that only they were affected by the bond. Dor'nak set two small rectangular silver boxes on the table in the centre of the room then brought a larger wooden case before he bowed to them and walked out closing the door behind him.
"Are you ready, my love?" Ammonet asked moving to the table.
Daniel nodded and moved to face her, "Yes, my Queen."
Ammonet opened the two smaller boxes. Each held red and green crystal cut into a circle before opening the large box revealing a large white crystal cut into an oblong every surface completely smooth.
She placed the red crystal on his temple smiling when he winced slightly as it connected before adding the green. Daniel then did the same for her.
"This will be an extremely intense experience," Ammonet told him, "But if we stop the ritual then we will never be able to complete it."
Daniel nodded, "Ready whenever you are."
Activating the large crystal light flooded the room. The crystals on Daniel's temple began to tighten the pressure building until he cried out in pain. Ammonet's hands grabbed his stopping him from removing the crystals.
"A few more minutes," Ammonet told him, "Just hold on and it will be over in a few more minutes."
The pain gave way suddenly to heat then he could feel Ammonet. Their minds and bodies merged, their breath was one and their hearts beat together. She was now a part of him and he was a part of her.
When the light subsided Daniel dropped to his knees and he felt Ammonet catch him.
"I'm fine," he gasped, trying to catch his breath.
She stroked his cheek, "I know, my love but without a symbiote and since you refuse to use the sarcophagus it shall take time for you to recover."
"Use the hand healing thing," Daniel murmured trying to fight against the exhaustion.
Ammonet chuckled and kissed his forehead, "Of course, my love."

The warmth of the healing gauntlet flooded Ammonet as she used it to return Daniel's strength to him. The ritual had shown her the full extent of the change in the man she had bonded with and that he was fully committed to ruling with her. His love was dark but it was true. Just like hers.
"Wow," Daniel murmured when he woke, "That was incredible."
Ammonet smiled at him, "It was. I am yours completely now and if you feel you have the strength I have a present for you."
"Wedding gift?" he asked with a delighted grin.
She chuckled, "A very apt description, my love...my husband."
Sitting up Daniel rolled his shoulders, "I feel great."
"Excellent," she smiled taking his hand in hers, "Before your present, Shifu wishes to see us."
She led Daniel to the small room where their son was waiting for them. She allowed the boy to hug her before he hugged Daniel.
"I must say goodbye now," the boy told them.
Daniel turned to her confused before he looked back at the boy, "Why?"
"This is why I came," Shifu beamed happily at them, "To give you the knowledge you needed and to bring you together."
"Will we see you again?" Ammonet asked almost sure that this came Daniel and not from her.
Shifu shrugged slightly, "I cannot tell you. But do not let that make you sad. I am happy knowing you are now with one another. I must return to Oma."
Bright light surrounded the boy and he disappeared leaving them alone.
Daniel turned to her, "Shall we retire to our room and enjoy this new bond?"
Ammonet grinned, "My present is waiting there for us."

Daniel slid his arm around his new wife's waist pulling her close to him, enjoying the sensation of their heightened physical connection. The bond was fresh and would only strengthen through time but he already needed to get her alone where he could test it properly.
"So, what's my present?" he asked when they reached Ammonet's...their chambers.
Slipping away from him she opened the bedroom doors before turning and motioning him to follow her. Interested he walked in and found his present naked on the bed.
"Killa?" Daniel stared surprised to find the blonde servant girl waiting for him.
Ammonet removed the tiara allowing her black curls loose to cascade down her back, "You never finished with her," she explained, "I thought you would like to."
Daniel frowned a little bemused, "You were not very enthusiastic about that before now."
"Oh no," she shook her head, "This is not a present for you alone, she is our toy."
"Really?"
"I told you the only way another would be in our bed would be shared by us both," Ammonet held up her hand, "For tonight only, my love. I need a Lo'taur who is able to perform her duties."
Daniel caught her hand and gently kissed the pulse point in her wrist. Ammonet caught her breath at the realisation the bonding had worked. The gesture was one of affection from the home of a previous host and one he had never used before.
"Killa has already been given one of my favourite aphrodisiacs and there are some toys for us to use," she told him motioning to the cupboard by her bed.
Daniel grinned and kissed her deeply. He slowly undid the fasteners drawing her dress along her body replacing the material with a soft kiss until she stood before him naked. With a grin he escorted her to their bed where she joined her Lo'taur before he perused the toys he had to use.
Glancing over he watched Killa as she began to worship her Goddess in a much more intimate fashion than normal and smiled, it was going to be a fun night.
Ammonet finished her meeting with Osiris, wishing to wipe the smug smile off the blonde bitch when she spoke of her connection to Daniel. Since her reappearance Osiris had tried to make an alliance with every System Lord she could find.
Ammonet knew that soon she would have to play nice with the other System Lords for their summit. Until they were ready to move none of them could know about Daniel, his new knowledge or their bond. It would be uncomfortable to be parted from him for the few days but it was something she knew she would have to bear in order to keep him safe and their plan hidden.
Reaching Daniel's lab she frowned to find him sitting with his feet up on the table staring into space.
"You told me you were working on things to ensure we would take our place in the galaxy," Ammonet stated making him blink in surprise at her sudden presence, "Instead I find you dreaming."
Daniel caught her hand and pulled her to him, "Today I am expected back on Earth."
"Do you wish to be there," she asked sliding onto his lap.
He kissed the pulse point on her wrist, a now familiar gesture of affection, "Not in the way you mean, my Goddess."
"Then what do you mean?" she asked archly aware of the pressure of his thumb rubbing a small circle on her lower back while she played with his hair.
Daniel chuckled, "When I received the knowledge they had me creating weapons for them so they could protect themselves from the Goa'uld."
"I assume this was before you decided to become the new ruler of the planet?"
He smirked amused, "I made them think I needed a break so they agreed to four weeks on Abydos. When I don't return today they'll go to Abydos to find me and discover I was never there."
"They will seek you out," she frowned worriedly.
He shook his head, "No. I left a message which will be received tomorrow explaining I have taken Shifu somewhere safe. And then..." he chuckled.
"Then?" she asked.
Daniel looked up at her his blue eyes showing the darkness he now carried within, "All files I created for them have a virus implanted and the moment my message ends everything will be wiped."
"Very devious, my darling," Ammonet nodded approvingly.
He motioned her closer for a kiss, pouting when she pulled away at the last second.
"We will have to deal with O'Neill and his friends," she noted.
Daniel nodded, "One day and I have plans for each of them."
"I assume each plan ends in their death."
He shrugged, "They all end with a few different ways to kill them. I may need you to choose for me."
Ammonet grinned this time giving him the kiss he wanted.
"As much as I want to continue this," Daniel murmured when they parted.
Ammonet nuzzled his neck, "We could, I'm sure your desk could hold up to our enthusiasm."
Daniel moaned when his Queen slid her hand down his stomach onto his lap. He caught her hand stopping any further movement and stood displacing her from her seat.
"Before we do anything else, my darling," he smiled at her annoyance, "We need to remove the spies from our home."
Ammonet grimaced, "There are no spies here."
Daniel laughed and caught her chin smiling affectionately at her, "You are still my naive little Goddess," he kissed her then moved her to the main console bringing up the information he wanted, "We have a Tok'ra spy, one for Ba'al and one for Osiris who also appears to be working for Yu."
Panic filled her eyes, "Then all will know you are here."
"No, my love," he soothed, "The day I came onboard while you were distracted by Shifu I entered a program to ensure that any messages that mentioned me were halted. I have been sending false information for the past month. Now I have enough details to know who the spies are. Would you like me to find them?"
Ammonet's eyes blazed gold, "I want the traitors."
Daniel took her hand and kissed it, "Anything for you, my Goddess."
