Didn't Think I'd Let You Get Away...Did You

CHAPTER 1

Sheppard pulled his body back behind the tree, and watched as his prey moved through the woods. He smiled to himself, this was too easy he thought as his prey came closer to his position. But, just as he was preparing to pounce, they took off, at speed, in the opposite direction.

"Damn it." he cursed as he gave chase, jumping over several fallen tree stumps that where blocking his path.

He could see his prey just ahead of him, but then they vanished, he slowed down, his eyes searching to catch a glimpse of any movement. He caught a flash of colour through the trees and moved quietly towards it. But, his prey had seen him and was off running again, he was not about to give up.

Sheppard was breathing hard as he ran full pelt through the woods, he glanced to the side where he could see his prey, running almost parallel with him, but just out of reach, behind a line of trees. He grinned as he saw the long grass up ahead, this was his chance, and he was damn sure he was going to take it. There would be no getting away this time...

As he hit the long grass, the tall tendrils tangled around his thigh, dragging against him, causing his speed to slow fractionally. He ignored everything else and concentrated on his prey, who was now running just ahead of him. There were no trees to get in the way here, he could see that the distance between them was getting shorter.

He sped up as the grass he was running over became shorter, and now, his prey was almost within reach. Being on a slight incline gave him an opportunity and he took it, he dived, and caught his prey, he held on tightly, twisting his body so that he hit the floor first. They rolled down the hill and came to a sudden stop at the bottom.

Sheppard was breathing harshly, taking deep gulps of air in to his lungs, as he just lay there, holding on to his prey.

"Didn't think I'd let you get away this time, did you?" he asked between breaths.

"Who said I wanted to get away?" his prey questioned.

Sheppard smiled, and repositioned his body, to immobilize his prey more effectively.

"Oh god..., don't tell me he's at it again." McKay moaned, as he and Teyla, stumbled, across Sheppard and his prey.

"It's my day off McKay." Sheppard informed him, as he lifted his head up to glare at McKay.

"Then maybe you should be in your room, where there's a bed."

"Who needs a bed?"

"Not you, obviously." McKay said.

"Where's the problem?" Sheppard wanted to know.

"The problem is, it's been over six months and you still can't keep your hands off her." McKay told him.

Sheppard looked over at Teyla and grinned, then he looked down, he lowered his head and kissed his prey, lingeringly, and passionately.

"Do you have to do that while you have an audience?" McKay asked, sighing when Sheppard ignored him, and carried on kissing.

"We'll meet you back at the Jumper... when you've finished manhandling her." McKay told him, as he walked away, muttering about sex crazed pilots, and nymphomaniacs.

"Did he just call me a nymphomaniac?"

"Sounded like." Sheppard laughed. "Unless he was referring to you as the 'sex crazed pilot'"

"I'll give him 'nymphomaniac'."

"Before you do that... now that our 'audience' has gone, how about we..." Sheppard was just about to suggest making love.

"No, I am not going to sit in a Puddle Jumper, with McKay, while he moans about having to wait for us, all because you couldn't keep your hands off me." Alex laughed, and pushed at his shoulders.

"Fine, but I caught you, so you owe me a forfeit." he told her as he stood up, he reached down and pulled her up, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her before they followed Teyla and McKay back to the Jumper.

"That was quick." McKay muttered as Alex and Sheppard entered the Jumper.

Teyla smiled as Alex stuck her tongue out behind McKay's back, then Alex smiled when McKay turned to look at her. She actually liked McKay, even with his sarcastic comments, you always knew where you stood with him, and he treated everyone the same, disdainfully.

Sheppard glared at McKay's comment and sat in the pilots seat.

"You're the one who asked me to fly you out here." Sheppard reminded McKay.

"Yes, but I didn't ask for the 'peep show' now, did I."

Alex, and Teyla, sat in the back of the Jumper, trying to stop themselves from laughing, as Sheppard and McKay argued all the way back to Atlantis, like a pair of school children.

They were walking through the Gate room when Doctor Weir appeared at the top of the stairs leading to her office.

"Colonel Sheppard, could I have a word with you?" she asked.

"Sure," he said, turning to Alex he raised his eyebrows in question.

"I'll see you later." Alex told him, as she followed Teyla and McKay.

He ran up the stairs to Weir's office.

"What is it?" he asked as he entered the room.

"Ladon Radim has been in contact, he says he has a potential ally for us."

"That's great, we could do with some more allies in this galaxy." Sheppard said, sitting in the chair beside her desk.

"Yes, apparently one of his men visited the planet Seira and says they have a lot of potential. Ladon assures me that his man only gave the Seirans a small amount of information about us. And now they want to meet and discuss the possibility of an alliance."

"So what are you planning?"

"Well, I'd like you and your team to make the first initial contact with them." She placed a report on the desk in front of him.

"When do you want us to go?" he asked, ignoring the report.

"Probably a day or two."

"Alright we'll be ready." he told her. "Any indication as to what kind of an alliance they're looking for from us?"

"From what Ladon's man said I gather that they're primarily, looking to exchange technology with us."

"Well we'll see about that when we make contact. You know how some of these people are. They always believe that they're more advanced than they really are."

"I agree, so the sooner you and your team make contact, the better. I just hope that they are as advanced as Ladon's man is making out."

"Let's hope so." he said, he stood, and picked up the report, he seemed to hesitate, then he lifted his head and looked at her. "Can I add Alex to the mission?" he asked.

Weir laughed, "Yes, you can add Alex to the mission." she told him. Sheppard took every opportunity, he could, to drag Alex along on missions. Weir didn't mind, because Alex could look after herself, and she had proven to be very valuable on a number of occasions.

"Thanks, I'll read this report later." he told her as he left her office.

He hadn't been that long in Weir's office, and he soon caught up with Alex. He could see her talking to Doctor Beckett further along the corridor. As he approached them he caught some of the conversation.

"Your contraceptive implant needs renewing, it should have been renewed last week but you haven't been in..."

"I know, I..." she broke off as John came to stand beside her.

"I'll make and appointment for you for tomorrow then, shall I?" Beckett asked her.

"Fine." she sighed, and saw John tense.

When Beckett left, Alex looked at John, but he wasn't looking at her. He walked beside her and neither of them spoke as they made their way to John's room. Alex knew what the problem was, and for the past few weeks she'd been thinking about what to do about it.

As soon as they got in the room John headed for the shower, he probably wanted her to join him, but she decided not to. Instead she stood on the small balcony, and contemplated her decision.

John stood beneath the spray of water, letting it run down his face and chest. He glanced at the shower door, he'd thought Alex might have joined him, but it looked like she didn't want to. Maybe he'd been pushing her too far, or too quickly, but what was he supposed to do, he loved her.

He groaned at the thought of how much he loved her, he'd never felt such an obsession for anyone before Alex. McKay was right, he couldn't keep his hands off her, but then Alex couldn't keep her hands off him either. So at least he wasn't the only one who was obsessed in this relationship.

He finished showering and dried himself off, he wrapped a towel around his hips and entered the bedroom. Alex was lying on top of the bed on her stomach, naked, she was leaning over the edge of the bed, obviously looking for something beneath it.

"Is this a new position you want to try out?" he asked, laughing as he crawled on the bed and leaned his body over hers. He began kissing along her spine and across her shoulders, he lowered his body down on to her back, pressing his hips against her buttocks.

Alex lifted her head up and gave a moan of pleasure as he burrowed his hands beneath her body and began grinding his hips against her. She couldn't resist pushing her bottom back against him.

"I've been wanting to do this all day." he murmured in her ear, then traced his tongue along her neck, kissing the soft skin as he went.

Alex turned her head towards him, "Yeah, I did kind of notice." she told him, reaching her hand back to gently rake her nails along his side. He groaned, and covered her mouth with his, kissing and tasting the sweetness within.

When she moved her head away, resting her forehead on the bed, he began grazing his teeth against her neck, and shoulder.

"You want to stay like this, or..." he asked, moving his hands from her stomach, upwards towards her breasts, all the time he kept kissing her back, and rotating his hips against her.

Alex moved slightly, trying to turn over. He tilted his body to the side to allow her to turn on to her back.

"Much better." he said, letting his body relax back on her. He nudged his knee against her leg and she parted her thighs, to let him position himself against her.

He carefully eased himself inside her, watching her bite her lip as he pushed further and deeper, he really couldn't get enough of her.

"John..." she moaned, as his mouth fastened on to her breast, and he stroked his tongue across the sensitive bud.

He pulled back and then drove forward, creating an even paced rhythm, which he only increased when Alex began sobbing for him to do so.

"Alex, open your eyes." he wanted to see her pleasure when she came.

Alex was so lost in the pleasure he was giving her, that she didn't hear him. He pulled back and stopped, even though his body was throbbing and almost on the edge.

"What are you doing?" Alex cried, opening her eyes to look at him.

He smiled down at her, "Keep your eyes open." he told her, gazing longingly in to her eyes.

"What for?"

"I want to see." he said, and started to move against her.

When he saw her close her eyes again, he put his hand against the side of her face and kissed her, murmuring for her to open her eyes, which she did, just as he brought her to the peak of pleasure. He loved the look of intense pleasure in her eyes as she climaxed. He stilled his movements for a few seconds while he watched her, then he began thrusting hard, striving for his own release. The pleasure was building quickly in his groin, he could feel it rising with each thrust, he arched his back as he felt his body pulsate and throb as he came, deep inside her.

"God, Alex... I love you so much." he groaned, almost crushing her as his hold on her tightened.

"I love you too." she murmured, loving the feel of is body over her.

John kept on kissing her, and stroking his hands over her, he didn't need to be making love to her to find pleasure. Just touching her, stroking his hands across her skin, and kissing her, gave him all the pleasure he needed. The fact that he got to make love to her was like an added bonus.

"About before when Beckett..." Alex said, only to be cut short as John interrupted her.

"Alex I've told you, it doesn't matter, you don't have to make a decision right now. I know it's a lot to think about..." he told her, lifting his head up to look at her.

"That's just it, I've been thinking about it, and I've made my decision." she told him.

John lowered his head back down and pressed his forehead against her shoulder. He didn't want her to see the disappointment on his face, when she told him her decision.

"Yes." she said.

"Yes?" John repeated, quickly lifting his head up so he could look at her.

"Yes." she said again, smiling at the stunned look he was giving her.

"You're sure... you really want this. You're not just saying yes to please me, are you?"

"I really want this." she told him.

"I didn't think you'd want to..." he groaned with relief.

"Of course I want to, I just wasn't sure about right now."

"Talking about 'right now' how about we get started 'right now'." he said, as he looked at her lovingly, he lowered his head down and started kissing her neck and face.

"Just because I'm not taking a contraceptive, doesn't mean I'm going to get pregnant immediately. It can take months for the residual effects of the contraceptive to leave the body." she warned him.

"Months?" he lifted his head up and frowned at her. "That long."

"Yes, that long."

"Isn't there supposed to be specific times when you're more likely to get pregnant?" he asked.

"You mean taking temperature and counting days." Alex asked him.

"Yeah, something like that."

"I don't need all that." she told him, and watched him frown.

"Why not?"

"I know when I'm ovulating." she told him. She smiled when he looked at her as if he doubted her.

"And how do you know that?" he wanted to know.

"Mittelschmerz."

"Mittel... what?" he asked, tripping over the word.

"Mittelschmerz. It's a condition that some women get when they're ovulating. It feels like the pain you get with your monthly cycle, but it happens in the middle of your cycle and only last a few hours."

He looked at her, with suspicion, and scepticism.

"It's true." she laughed.

He narrowed his eyes on her, still doubting that she was telling him the truth.

"If you don't believe me ask Doctor Beckett."

He finally conceded to believe her, but she wasn't sure he really did believe her.

"Okay, so you'll tell me when you're... "

"Yes, I'll hunt you down and drag you to the nearest bedroom I can find." she teased.

"Make sure that you do." he said, stroking his hands along her thighs, parting them, so that he could make love to her, again, his excuse, not that he needed an excuse, was that he was trying to get her pregnant.

Alex smiled, because they couldn't make love any more than they already did.
