“Why couldn’t you have just called some of the guys from SG-4?” Cameron complained while pulling a sock off at Daniel’s dining room table. Vala was there and clearly winning. Somehow, poker had turned to strip poker, with Vala being quite the little card shark. Cam wouldn’t have had much of a problem with it had he actually won a few hands. Then again, Daniel really wasn’t the worst person to share the experience with. Cam could even learn a few things from the archaeologist. Daniel had decided that his watch qualified as an article of clothing, much to the dispute of Vala.

“This turned into strip poker, Cam. Do you really want to see Captain Taylor minus the clothes?” Daniel checked his cards again; two pair. His luck wasn’t too good, but at least it was something. With a few beers giving him a buzz, the night was getting fun. If he didn’t win this hand though, he sure as hell hoped Cam would because Vala hadn’t lost a hand yet.

“Good point,” Cameron replied before taking a drink from the cool glass bottle of beer. The cards he held weren’t bad, a straight, but knowing his luck Vala would have four of a kind or something. With Teal’c off world and Sam at Area 51, team night was a little more relaxed. It was like the three of them had some weird dynamic that actually kinda worked.

“Read ‘em and weep, boys,” Vala laid down a straight flush in front of the less than surprised men at the table. Oh yes, she was having a very good time. With Sam gone (who also had the annoying habit of counting cards), Vala was doing much better. Plus, another beer and she was sure Daniel would be putty in her hands. Cam though, well Vala wasn’t sure about Cam but she was positive something would pop into her mind.

“Dammit!” Cam exclaimed when he saw the alien’s cards. Now convinced she cheated, Cam pulled off his last sock and threw it at her.

Daniel just grumbled and stood up to be able to take his pants off. He should have known to wear lots of layers when playing any game with Vala. Though he had gotten her pretty bare with strip Trivial Pursuit The 80’s. Vala quirked up her eyebrow as he slowly shed his faded jeans and stepped out of them. Feeling more than a little attitude, Daniel turned around and gave his boxer-brief clad ass a little shake.

Cam was beginning to become a little uncomfortable. Not that he hadn’t seen Daniel naked before, but it was the fact that they were both scantily clothed sitting on each side of Vala. They were like the skin corners of a triangle, with Vala completing it in black fabric.

Another hand was dealt but Vala was getting a little distracted. There were two bare chested, muscular men on either side of her. Who couldn’t resist looking over that skin? This was so much better than cash. Looking down at her cards however, the boys might be getting a little bit of a distraction soon as well. Instincts not kicking in as they should have been (apparently the SGC had made her soft), she decided drunk opponents were the only option. “I think you boys need more to drink.”

Cameron and Daniel watched Vala walk into the kitchen, both imagining how that alien would look sans clothes. Clearly Vala had come to Daniel’s place confident, dressed in a t-shirt type material dress and likely very little else. One hand and they’d all be mostly even. The two men looked at each other and decided to make a move with Vala gone. Both carefully flipped over Vala’s cards and smirked. Eyebrows and mouthed words, plus a little quick card magic of their own, a plan was put into action.

“Here you go.” Vala put three beers down on the table, one for each them. “Now, on with the game. I need something different to look at.”

The game moved forward for a few minutes with some minor card moving and a couple faces trying to keep straight. It came time to show their cards and both guys looked triumphantly at Vala. Laying the small pieces of thick paper on the table, they watched Vala’s face become a bit confused as she looked at a flush and three of a kind. Then it turned to that huffy expression she got when things didn’t go her way.

“So, Daniel, I guess you’re going to give me something different to shamelessly look over,” Vala had regained a sparkle in her eye when she realized that she wasn’t the only one to lose. Daniel didn’t have much left to lose therefore this night was taking a rather fun turn.

“Well, I guess you’re right,” Daniel let out a dramatic sigh and looked over at Cameron. Shaking his head, Daniel hesitated a second considering making Vala go first. “Here, I’ll make you a deal; same time?”

“Sure, why not?” Vala laughed a little, thinking Daniel was being very much the drama king. What was the big deal? She’d read the mission report about his time as ‘Arrom.’ And most likely, he had nothing to be ashamed of. Vala stood up and pulled at the hem of her dress, taking it up over her head revealing some tiny underwear and the cute bra she’d ordered from the Victoria’s Secret catalogue a couple weeks ago. “Well, Daniel, what are you waiting for?”

Daniel hadn’t realized he was watching every move Vala made. “Oh, right!” Daniel gave a not so subtle look that seemed to be aspiring suaveness and stood up out of his chair. Vala had that naughty expression she used for seduction and anticipation. With a flourish, Daniel removed his glasses and took a bow before sitting back down.

“Now that’s creative!” Cam laughed at Daniel’s choice in ‘article of clothing.’ He’d finally won a hand and was amply reward by the sight of Vala in nothing but lace. Yeah, she was off limits but so nice to be around.

“Daniel, you are possibly the worst sport in the history of strip poker! That was definitely not in the spirit of the game! I think four hands is perfectly good enough for the night,” and with that, Vala stood up, taking her beer with her into Daniel’s bedroom and slamming the door.

“Not how I expected that to go…” Daniel’s voice trailed off into his beer. Cameron gave him a look as if to say ‘Dude! Go talk to her!’ Who knew there could be such exclamation in eyebrows? “I’m going, I’m going.”

Not knowing what Vala was thinking on the other side of his door, Daniel needed to think of something to fix her mood. It might have been the alcohol, but he had a feeling there was something more fueling his actions. Slipping out of the last of his clothing, Daniel knocked on the door. “Go away!” was all that came from behind the locked door.

“Vala, open the door,” Daniel told her calmly, trying to coax her out of the room. Footsteps, then a slight jiggle on the doorknob.

“And why should I?” Vala asked, her hand still on the round piece of metal.

“Well, you’ll just have to come out and see,” Daniel replied while striking his best Greek statue-as-a-superhero pose. Hands on hips, chest out, chin up, eyes fixed in the distance, gear proudly displayed. Hearing the door open, Daniel exaggerated the pose a little more. Giggle, smile, lips twisted in a grin; Daniel didn’t need to see her, it was almost as if he heard her expression.

“And just what do you think you’re doing standing naked at my door?” Vala asked in that demanding tone of hers. What she got in reply surprised her even more than a gorgeous man posing for her. Warm blue eyes, wink, warm lips, kiss.

Pushing Vala back into his room and closing the door with his foot, Daniel felt more than a little triumphant. Sure, he pretty much lost at poker, but he was very good at what Vala seemed to want. What she wanted was clearly demonstrated by the task her lips had taken up. The last thing Daniel heard before being lost to the sound of rushing blood in his ears was, “Um…guys?”
