I can't rightly remember when this was done, but I do know it belongs here on the GW LJ....since we didn't have the LJ at the time I hosted the fic, or actually the round-robin we did....Hope you all remembered this....we must do another soon.....:-)
Started with an innocent enough statement from HyperCaz, and slowly evolved into a very interesting fic.
All due to the imagination of

Title: Skinny Dipping
Pairing: Sheppard and Teyla
Rating: Teen
Done all in fun, and at the spur of the moment.
~
I could just imagine the pair of them stranded on an island.
~
Alone in the forest,
Shep:Teyla would you like to go skinny-dipping?
Tey: What is that?....
~
Shep: It's easy - you just do this
~
Teyla was shocked at John's actions...
Teyla: Colonel!...What are you doing? Please redress yourself! IM---MEDIATELY!!!.....
Still Sheppard continued, he was down to his boxers, when Teyla did the only thing any sane rational girl would do....right?..
She followed suit.....though for every garment she took off she walked closer to the water's edge....
~
...Without consciously moving, Sheppard found himself following her, drawn as if by a Siren's song.
Oh, she definitely got the picture. Teyla glanced back at him with a suggestive wink...
~
Then Sheppard tried to innocently look away but settled to grin like an idiot.
Teyla for her part, grinned like an idiot too.
~
Tackling her they both went under.
~
Sputtering they both broke the surface. Sheppard trying desperately to grasp Teyla, only to have her slip out of his hand, making him try and try again and again.
Finally, Teyla stopped moving and slowly drifted toward Sheppard, letting her feet touch the river's bottom, letting him think he had her right where he wanted her, then smirked. Teyla kicked off the river's floor and back into deeper waters, laughing melodically....
~
Sheppard smirked to himself. She's not going to make this easy is she?
Meanwhile, Teyla continued to drift further out, wondering how far Sheppard would go to get to her.
However, she underestimated Sheppard's tenacity in pursuing something he really wanted...
~
Diving below, Sheppard stealthily swam to Teyla. Surging to the stop, he grabbed her around the waist, and fell back into the river.
Teyla:JOH----
And just as the sound left her mouth, Sheppard kissed her, and down they sunk....blissfully unaware of their surrendings...
Then Sheppard tackled her and sent them both into the water.
~
Though the water was warm, Sheppard shivered as Teyla pulled him close and deepened the kiss. Everything else ceased to exist except the two of them, so completely did they melt into each other. God, it was so right... Sheppard knew that this was where he was meant to be. Not this planet, not floating in a river, but wherever Teyla was. She was the home he'd never felt he had...
~
And they drifted. Teyla felt light, as if there was no where she needed to be than right, the fire that was John consumed her burning everything else away.
Slowly they began to surface, still they kissed until the last possibly second, when they broke the surface, simultaneously they opened their eyes and smiled at each other.
~
Taking her face in the palms of his hand, Sheppard looks deeply into her molten eyes...varying and overwhelming emotions making him almost speechless...
Sheppard says to Teyla "Your definitely one hell of a Hail Mary!"
Grinning devilishly at his words, she whispers as she pulls his head closer for a moist kiss, "So that would mean I am better than football?'
~
Sheppard laughed, but sobered quickly and stared into her eyes once more, for once dead serious. "You are... the best thing that's ever happened to me," he whispered. "I don't know how I lived before I met you, because I know now that... that I can't live without you."
The intensity of his voice, soft though it was, surprised Teyla , even frightened her a bit. No one had ever looked at her that way before, spoken to her that way before...
Sheppard's next words sent Teyla's mind reeling and her heart pounding. "I love you, Teyla..."
~
Shocked by his admission of love...Teyla looked at him stunned, her eyes begging of it's truth from his own.
Bringing her own palms to his face and running their shivering softness along his cheek, combing back the uncontrollable whisps of hair.
She says her voice trembling, showing the enormity his words have on her soul...'I adore you, I admire you," pausing to gather her final thouhts into coherent words. "I desire you, more than any other...I return your affection with my being.....I love you, like no other man..."
At that final statement she closes her eyes and brings her forehead down to have his meet hers half way....their breaths miggling in the moist air..
~
As Teyla ponders at her next words.... out of nowhere guns shots are heard and Sheppard and Teyla must find cover in the woods...Gasping for air, Sheppard holds on to Teyla's hand while peering over the foliage. When suddenly and abruptly, Sheppard sees Ronon and McKay from a distance. Ronon is shooting at McKay. Quickly, Sheppard runs out still holding Teyla's hand...and yells...
What the hell is going on here?
~
Ronon and McKay immediately screeched to a halt. McKay tried to speak, but could only sputter incoherently. Ronon stared unabashed at Sheppard and Teyla, still only in their knickers and dripping wet...
~
Ronon finally broke down laughing, saying it was about time. McKay grabbed a sign that said he was a genius and quickly radioed Zelenka who said that McKay was a looser for being a peeping Tom.
Meanwhile Beckett recieved a strange call from Steve,who wanted to purchase a love potion for the Wraith Queen but that was another story.
Sheppard said, "Alittle privacy please!" Teyla suddenly realized what he had in mind and was completely for it.
Finally Ronon fell asleep and McKay went to go eat something.
Sheppard turned to Teyla and said, "now where were we?"
~
Teyla smiled at him, and he leaned in to kiss her again. But before their lips met...
...Sheppard woke in his bed in his own quarters. He sighed deeply, wishing that dream - well, most of it, anyway - had been real. Could've done without the intrusion...
Someone stirred beside him, and he felt a warm hand on his chest. Teyla lay with her head propped up on one hand, gazing at him sleepily.
Oh, Sheppard thought, smiling. I remember now...
~
Pulling Teyla closer John settled in comforted by her presence at his side.
Brushing back her hair he smiled, caressed her face, as she drifted back to sleep. Amused, he waited for her breathing to equalize and then allowed himself to fall back asleep, knowing she would still be there in the morning.
And they lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER....
