Summary: Cam and Teal'c are conducting a secret relationship because both of them have realised, they want each other more than any other partner

Cam felt a tear escape the corner of his eyes.

Teal'c moved, to look over Cam's shoulder, and caressed Cam's face with the back of his hand. "What is the matter?"

"Nothing!" Cam rubbed his eyes angrily. "Sorry."

"Are you concerned about the teachings of your grandmother's church again?" Teal'c enquired.

"Nah..." Cam replied.

"Then, what is it?" Teal'c patiently pondered.

"We shouldn't be doing this, Teal'c... This could mess everything up! Everything! The team, then the Universe, and Vala... Poor woman! What kind of men are we??" He asked.

"I have never really been able to remain faithful..." Teal'c admitted. He rubbed Cam's shoulder. "But do not worry... I am well."

"I know you are, Teal'c, me, too... That's not it." Cam replied.

"The only lasting relationship I had was with my wife, Dray'auc, but I wasn't even able to remain faithful to her..." Teal'c said sadly, ashamed.

"Sha'nauc?" Cam asked.

"Yes." Teal'c answered. "And if she had lived, I like to think I would have remained faithful to her, but I just do not truly know... Ishtar and I did not work out either."

"Because of wanting this..?" Cam asked, as Teal'c worked his body with surprising gentility...

"Yes." Teal'c stated.

"So, what does it all mean, Teal'c..?" Cam found himself asking.

"I do not know, but I cannot give this up..." Teal'c admitted.

"Me either..." Cam answered his lover. "But it would destroy Vala to find out, and the team would be in tatters... I'm the Leader for Heaven's sake, man!"

"And Vala is my girlfriend... Let me worry about her. We will sort things out, Cameron..." Teal'c told Cam Mitchell.

Cam smiled. "You called Cameron..."

"Would you prefer me to still call you Mitchell?" Teal'c wondered.

"Cam or Cameron will do!" Cam laughed a little. "But be careful when we're at work..!"

"Indeed..." Teal'c agreed. "I love you, Cameron..." He said gently.

"Me you, too, Big Guy..!" Cam replied genuinely. "I love you, too..!" He said, allowing himself to cry this time, and leaning back on Teal'c's body when their rhythm allowed it...
