Chapter 24: Together

Summary: Mostly relationship building ;) 

Sam POV

Martouf and Lantash have explained to me about Ria and her host Ti'vala. They are Tok'ra - and a queen! It is so wonderful! The Tok'ra are no longer a dying race! I really really wish Jolinar was awake so I could share the news with her! She will be elated to hear her friend Egeria had spawned a daughter!

"So, what will happen now?" I ask, when we have finished a light meal. We have moved to a couch in the guest room that has been reserved for me tonight. Martouf's is just beside this one, connected by a door.

We are sitting in silence, looking out the window at the dark planet outside. The nearby village is twinkling with lights, and the moons are shining. It's pretty romantic, actually.

"Now we will remain here until tomorrow, allowing Jacob and Selmak to rest some more. Then we will return for the others. As I told you, Ria has offered to let us all stay here for the next year, until we can leave, and I think we should accept."

I nod. "It does sound like the best option. Will you still be going to check on those plants on the island where the Stargate is? The ones that is sending out a hallucinogenic drug and stopping us from leaving - since they would eat us otherwise?"

"Yes, of course. I very much hope we will be able to find an antidote, so we can leave sooner."

"I will help you, of course. I am not a biochemist, but I do know something."

"I am no biochemist either. It is too bad Malek is not here. I feel certain he could solve this quickly." Martouf frowns. "You should not accompany me to the island. While you are more resistant to drugs than a human, it is not as much as a Tok'ra - and you will have no accelerated healing. All of this will be the case until Jolinar awakens."

"I can handle myself - I could do that before I became a host!"

"Yes, but this is not an ordinary situation."

"Hm." I say, not willing to concede yet. I steer the discussion to something else. "Rohk and Ihlkat? What is their specialty?"

"They have both focused on security and undercover work. They will not be much help in this situation, though all Tok'ra know some biochemistry and other science, of course."

"From the genetic memory." I realize.

"Yes."

I nod, and sigh. "I really miss Jolinar!"

"As do we, but we must take solace in the fact that she will live and be well."

I smile at him. "Yes. And it helps that you are here. I don't know what I would have done without you and Lantash."

"We will always be here for you, Samantha." He takes my hand and look at me with a very serious expression. "Always."

"Thank you!" I squeeze his hand. Everything feels so right, sitting here with him, and I want to stay like this forever.

He slides closer to me, and smile, a little shyly. He looks so adorable - and so sexy - at the same time. I lean against him, and he puts an arm around me.

This is heaven! I press my lips against the side of his neck, hoping it is not too forward. After all, I don't know if he would prefer to put our... relationship on hold until Jolinar is awake? At least the more physical aspects.

He does not pull away, though. Instead, his arm slides lower, down my shoulder, and his hand is suddenly against my side. It feels very nice. I raise my head from his shoulder and look at him, trying to read his expression.

Martouf POV

Samantha is sitting here, close to us, and it feels wonderful! I feel immense relief and am so grateful, every time I think of her, and that she will remain Jolinar's host. I am rapidly falling deeply in love with her, as is Lantash.

~Kiss her.~

~I'm fairly sure she doesn't want that yet.~

Lantash scoffs. ~Of course she does! Kiss her, or give me control, and I will show you!~

~Lantash!~

I am interrupted when Samantha leans her head against us, and I suddenly feel her lips against my neck. I close my eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of her. I want to kiss her - and hold her in my arms. And pleasure her. I... I shake myself and reign in my thoughts, opening my eyes again. Samantha is lifting her head from my shoulder, and looking at me.

I feel like I could drown in those blue depths! For a moment I allow myself to lose myself in her eyes, then I pay attention to Lantash's nagging. I lean closer to Samantha, and when she doesn't pull back, I touch my lips to hers.

Sam POV

My heart beats like crazy as Martouf leans closer, and then kisses me. After a moment, I lean into the kiss, returning it. We slowly move our lips against each other, then at the same time agrees to deepen the kiss. Out tongues parry, and I feel Martouf's hand sneak up to cup one of my breasts.

After a few seconds of heaven, Martouf pulls back and look at me, a bashful expression on his face.

"I apologize, Samantha, I did not mean to..."

I put a finger against his lips. "Shhh, I never said I didn't want this. I do - whether Jolinar is awake or not. I want you, both of you, so stop worrying about that, okay?" I lean in to kiss him as he nods, a wide-eyed expression on his face. How can he not realize what I feel for him? Though I guess I haven't been as clear as I should.

I pull back from another wonderful kiss to smile at him, and he looks at me, happy. "Sweet Samantha..." he says, and caresses my cheek.

Then his eyes flash and Lantash kiss me. It is no less wonderful than when Martouf kissed me, but the kiss becomes passionate very quickly, and takes my breath away. I slide my hand up under his shirt, and enjoy the feeling of his smooth, warm skin. I let my hand rove over his back, then find his neck, and touch him there, as a memory from Jolinar tells me. I know exactly how to caress Lantash in the most pleasurable way for him - and so also for Martouf, as they both feel all that both of them feel.

Lantash gasp into my mouth, and he push me down on my back, on the couch. As we kiss again, he slide a hand under my shirt and find a breast, which he starts to fondle. His caresses leave fire in their wake, and I kiss him, desperately. I want him, and he clearly feels the same.

That night I finally become the mate of Martouf and Lantash, in every way.
