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. Cam had been so disconcerted though when he’d said that she had questions regarding Earth culture and that Daniel would be better suited to answer them that he felt a sense of urgency in the request.

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.
