Chapter 3

Chapter 3

"Not another layover!" McKay complained wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Both John and Teyla exchanged curious glances. Rodney's behavior was out of character as of late. Majority of the time he would be the one insisting they stay and search as much as they could. Now he was practically begging to return to Atlantis. It wasn't like him at all to leave such an obviously untouched land unexplored. Ever since the gathering on the mainland a couples week prior he seemed different somehow, like he was distracted. John suspected it had something to do with Elizabeth remembering how cozy they were that night together. The thought unnerved him at first but he quickly pushed the feeling aside. It was jealously, no, it was a protectiveness he always tried to hide. Sometimes he let it get the better of him and some people viewed it as jealously instead. It was a guy thing!

He glanced around for Teyla and saw she was kneeling next to what looked like a berry bush. He watched silently for a moment then noticed she held something in her hand. "What's that?" he asked nodding to the contents in her hand.

She stood smiling, "I believe they are crognits." She walked over to him and showed them to him. "I believe they are a version of what you would call a grape." She picked one up and placed it in her mouth.

John visibly cringed, "I really wish you wouldn't do that. One of these days it's not gonna be what you think it is."

She laughed lightly and took another from her hand. "Why don't you try one?" she held it out for him and he reluctantly took it.

He examined it like it was gonna attack him at any moment then slowly placed it on his tongue and bit into it and chewed a few times then his eyes widened as the taste hit him. "What the hell's in these they're incredible!" he quickly took a couple more from her hand and popped them into his mouth.

Teyla took another from her hand. "They are a rather sought after fruit amongst the known worlds. They taste different to everyone. They are whatever you crave or want, " she explained placing more in her mouth.

"Do I hear you guys talking about food?" Rodney perked and by their sides in a second. They were huddled close and John was picking something out of her hand. "Hey! Share!"

John pointed to Teyla's hand. "Oh McKay you should try these they're amazing. They'll put a chocolate moose sundae to shame, " he expressed putting a couple more in his mouth.

"Really?!" McKay was standing next to Teyla in an instant. "Let me try." He took one and didn't hesitate to pop it in his mouth and start chewing. It didn't take long for the taste to hit him either. "Oh my God these are delicious! What are these?" He took more out of her hand just as John reached to take more.

Teyla looked between the two men and shook her head in amusement. Before they could take anymore she tipped her head back and put the rest in her mouth.

"Hey!" John complained.

"Where did you find those?" McKay was already looking around for the source.

Teyla did not bother to answer as he walked away in search.

"You did that on purpose didn't you?" John inquired with a smirk. She hated to see anyone in a distasteful mood let alone McKay.

She raised an eyebrow, "Why Colonel, whatever do you mean?"

John laughed at her impression of Doc Holiday from the movie Tombstone. "You've been watching too much television, " he waggled his finger at her.

"Hey guys! We should take a root back to Atlantis and see if we can grow this stuff it's great!" McKay was in full scientific mode as he found the bush. "These things are better than cheesecake!" He picked a couple off and plopped them into his mouth eating them eagerly.

"You should be careful Dr., Crognits are said to have certain effects, " Teyla warned warmly. She felt two sets of eyes on her instantly.

"What kind of effects?" John and Rodney asked in unison.

Teyla giggled as she looked between the two men. "It's an aphrodisiac, if too much is consumed it will have an unrelenting effect, " she explained unable to hide her smirk.

Both men groaned in realization.

Before McKay realized it he was grabbing himself. "Oh my God it's not gonna make anything…fall off is it?" he asked almost terrified.

Teyla laughed and shook her head, "No it will not harm you, but the effects can last for hours."

"Oh that's just great!" McKay complained but continued to eat the rest of the crognits he had left.

"How much is too much?" John asked shifting on his feet.

Teyla tilted her head and looked him up and down. "It will depend on your metabolism, " she noted. "I do not think you ate enough to cause any harm."

"What about you? You just ate a handful, " John pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

She nodded nonchalantly, "I imagine it will have some effect on me."

John tilted his head at her and looked at her like she was crazy.

"I say we take a sample back with us. We could make a fortune off this stuff, " Rodney went to work on collecting a sample at the same time taking a few from the bush and putting them in his pocket.

"I think you just made his day, " John realized shaking his head at the elated scientist.

~But you may have just ruined mine~ he thought already feeling the effects or was that just his imagination? Not that a raging hard on was out of the ordinary for him, no, it was quit frequent for him. Every morning it was there, taunting him. Other times it was during his morning sessions with Teyla and the rest of the time when they share a tent off world. So, you could basically say that ninety percent of his time was spent with a hard on. For a man who hadn't had anything remotely close to sex in five years what do you expect. At least Rodney was supposedly getting some, from the boss no less.

"This really is a beautiful place, " she commented looking around at the greenery and waterfalls. "We are not due back till tomorrow sometime, and it is such a nice day…" she trailed off glancing at him.

He shifted his P90 and looked down at her, "What are you suggesting?"

A grin crossed her beautiful features and he knew she was up to no good…again.
