Why This Must Be Read: Long, beautiful and lyrical with excellent angst, emotion, characterization and plot. Oh, and hot sex.
In any case, she certainly only intended the one kiss--a gift, meant to restore whatever Nika had taken from him. Teyla touched her lips to his, letting the kiss be just soft enough and wet enough to indicate sexual intent: there were times when she wanted Rodney to think of her in a sisterly fashion, but this was not one of them. Rather, she wanted Rodney to take her meaning plainly, even without words, though Teyla had heard an Atlantian aphorism that seemed to express it: "I wouldn't throw him out of bed." This, once she had it correctly translated as a cheerfully idiomatic way of saying, "I would happily have sexual relations with him," seemed to her a very useful phrase indeed, and she wished that the Athosians had such a carefree way of assuring people that you found them sexually attractive. Alas, her culture had no such useful phrase, and had instead to resort to gestures and smiles and significant looks.
She caressed his cheek, feeling a rasp of evening beard, as she pulled away. She had expected that Rodney would look a bit smug--indeed, had intended he should. That was part of what she meant to give him: not only a kiss to replace the one Nika had refused him, but also a heartfelt satisfaction with the terms of the exchange--for she was vain enough to believe that Rodney would value her kiss above Nika's. So she was prepared to tolerate some arrogance, to allow him the momentary swelling of ego that so often accompanied a man's other erection; in fact, she would regard it as her own gift to him.
But she saw no smugness in Rodney's expression--he looked shocked, and naked, and perhaps a very little bit afraid, and while Teyla had been planning to smile and wish him a teasing, "Good night," she found herself rooted to the spot by the pale intensity of his face. If there had been even so much as a trace of arrogance in him, she would have forced herself away, but instead she found herself looking for meaning in his eyes. He was studying her, eyes moving searchingly over her face--and she realized that she had seen him look this way before, at new phenomena or at a sudden wonder of the natural universe. She realized that he was trying to figure out how to respond to her only a moment before he did respond to her--by cupping her shoulder with a slightly-shaking hand and returning her kiss.
