Daniel held his fist in the air for several seconds
considering whether or not he really wanted to get into anything involving Vala
this late at night.
As much as Daniel hated to admit, she did have a lot of good insight into the
Tau’ri and would’ve probably made a good anthropologist had her life not thrown
her into a more— interesting path.
Taking a deep breath, Daniel repeatedly lowered his fist against the compound door
that shielded the rest of the base from Vala -- when they were lucky. He
thought he heard some grunting from inside but he dismissed it as a side effect
of being tired.
Finally, Vala opened the door and pulled him into the room with a very confused
look on her face. “Oh, good, you’re here.”
Daniel choked on air when his eyes registered the television - well, not the
television itself, Daniel had been the one to bring his own set to base for her
so she wouldn’t be so bored-, but because of the picture of a penis being
swallowed almost whole by a female mouth. “What is that?”
Vala showed some interest as she looked at him blushing so deeply. “That’s what
I’m hoping you’ll be able to tell me. Teal’c gave me this, he said it offered
him some insight on Tau’ri mating rituals… I asked Mitchell to explain some of
it, but he just ran away.”
Daniel took his glasses off so that the images on screen would at least be
blurry but the fact that he could still hear the slurping and even some gagging
was definitely not helping matters any. His body started to unconsciously react
to the sex-enriched environment so he moved to sit on Vala’s bed, crossing his
legs uncomfortably. She did have some valid questions and concerns so some
diplomatic part of him refused to just leave the room. “Teal’c gave you this?”
She nodded. “Isn’t this part of your culture?”
“Well—uh, yes and no.”
Her face began to show some interest at his discomfiture. “Are you ashamed of
this?”
He thought for a second and then shook his head, putting his glasses back on.
“No, it’s just that one does not usually watch these in—mixed company.” Then he
realized that wasn’t entirely true. “Actually, some people here on Earth do
watch these in mixed company, but most people prefer to… watch it alone.”
She frowned. “How come?”
Interesting choice of words, Daniel thought as he realized his ‘problem’ was
still persistent and he moved to crouch over his lap area. “One usually watches
these movies when one is in need of—release.”
“Release… of what?” She asked before realization dawned. “Oh, sexual release.
Do you ever watch these?”
He choked on air again. “Th-- that’s—uh, private.” He finally stuttered out as
he tried to tell himself that this was something normal and that many other
cultures enjoyed pornography in different ways. “You must’ve come across
something similar somewhere in the galaxy.”
“Similar, yes, but not quite.” She reached for the remote and fast-forwarded
through the scene.
Daniel absent-mindedly noticed that the woman had jet-black hair and her hair
was in pigtails, probably trying to simulate innocence - much like the
pigtailed beauty in front of him, she completely failed as the DVD quickly
progressed.
“Now that I am not familiar with,” Vala said when she found the scene she’d
been looking for.
Daniel’s eyes were glued to the screen for several seconds before his head
dropped onto his hands and he groaned. Why did he have to be the one stuck
explaining this stuff? “It—it’s um… well, you see—“ he trailed off with another
groan. “That’s anal penetration.” He finally blurted out.
Vala’s face showed interest and curiosity all mixed into one. “Is that a common
practice here on Earth?”
“Culturally it’s considered sort of a taboo,” he stated then decided to offer
some more insight hoping maybe she’d become bored of the subject and drop it
altogether, “but there is evidence that several tribes and ancient cultures
engaged in that type of—sex and even preferred it to regular intercourse.”
“I had heard of such a thing being common on a few planets but I’d never
actually thought I’d see it. Your instructional tapes are quite helpful.”
“Instructional tapes?” Daniel blinked. “These aren’t instructional tapes.
They’re just for, uh… entertainment.” He then stood up and moved closer to the
screen, hoping his uniform jacket would cover the evidence of his erection.
“You can’t really learn anything from these, everything is—uh, wrong… there’s
seldom any foreplay, no dialogue or any credible actions. It’s like a—like a
show, those other shows you’ve been watching.”
One of her eyebrows rose slightly as her head tilted towards the television
set. “She seems to be enjoying it,” she offered in reply.
Daniel laughed, “It’s just a ruse, it’s just acting. She’s not really,
uh—climaxing.” He explained then gulped.
The other eyebrow joined the first one as she took a few steps until their
noses were almost touching. “How would you know?”
Maybe it was the grunting and moaning on the screen messing up his brain or
maybe it was the pheromones she was releasing into the air but something caused
him to throw good judgment in the wind and close the gap between them. Her lips
tasted of coffee – her latest Earth-born passion – and the same deep rich
essence he’d first known in the Prometheus. She seemed surprised at first that
he’d finally given in but she recovered before he could pull away. Her tongue
asked for sanctuary in his mouth and he couldn’t deny it, their kiss deepening
as the sounds from the television grew louder and louder.
She had definitely been aware of his erection because her hand wasted no time
in finding it and he groaned; it’d been so long, longer than he could remember.
And her hand was handling him so perfectly, applying just the right pressure
before she began to move it up and down and he was afraid he’d lose it right
there and be forever embarrassed but then her hand moved away and he almost
cried from the loss.
Her long fingers found the button on his pants and released it. Before she
could lower the zipper, he stopped her, “There’s, uh, something else you should
know… the, erh, specimen on that movie, it—it’s not the rule here on Earth,
it’s more the exception. I just didn’t want you to be, well… disappointed.” He
gulped down the rest of the speech his mind kept babbling and when she smiled his
heart almost stopped.
Then her eyes were gone and the zipper was lowered. She pushed the pants and
his briefs down to his thighs, just enough to release him and her smile got
bigger. “Oh, Daniel… definitely not disappointed.”
He released the breath he didn’t know he was holding only to gasp as her hands
wrapped around him; the skin-on-skin contact was almost more than he could
bear. He’d expected her hands to be cold for some reason but they were burning
hot. She expertly stroked him and he dimly noticed that she was licking her
lips as her eyes were locked on the movement of her hands.
Feeling tension building up too quickly for his own good, his own hand moved to
still her actions. She bit her lips and looked up at him and he tried to
communicate to her wordlessly that they needed to get rid of their clothes.
After what felt like hours, they were finally bare to each other’s eyes and
Daniel breathed deeply as he memorized every one of her curves as if she were
one of his books. Then he reached for her and they tumbled onto her bed
together, a mess of limbs and naked skin.
He tentatively reached between her legs, finding her more than prepared. The
gentleman in him suggested some more foreplay but Daniel was too far-gone as he
moved to cover her body with his, expertly positioning himself above her.
In retrospect, he should’ve probably seen this coming when he knocked on her
door – hell he should’ve seen it coming the moment he met her.
Vala was far from shy, her legs moving to encircle his waist until he was in
position. He entered her with a gasp and she replied with a moan, both rivaling
the couple on television with their own sounds.
They didn’t move in unison, they just continuously fought for the upper hand.
After a while, Vala flipped them over so she was on top and he gave up on
fighting for just a few glorious moments as he watched her move on top of him,
his brain forgetting all the lies and half-truths she’d ever told in a
delightful case of selective amnesia.
Her movements were with certainty and purpose and she sought her own release
and he was content to quite literally lend a hand to her. She came with a deep
scream that tore at his own skin as he followed her over the abyss.
As she dropped onto his torso, his arms involuntarily wrapped around her
sweat-slicked skin, moving them further up the bed until his head connected
with the Vala-scented pillows.
Her body still trembled for several minutes afterwards and she was silent; he
couldn’t help but think that this seemed to be the best way to shut her up so
far. He should’ve thought of it sooner.
Something was poking his arm and he looked to find the remote; he turned the TV
off, silencing the far more resilient couple that was still going at it, and
placed the remote on the nightstand. Vala finally moved, sliding next to his
body and placing her head on his chest.
He wasn’t sure why he made no move to leave… and he would’ve never figured her
for a post-coital cuddler.
As his brain quickly started to shut down, he had one last thought: He would
have to thank Teal’c someday.
