Author's Note: So this was supposed to be a simple PWP story and ended up turning into a much larger than expected piece. I've written the first chapter and the hot steamy chapters, all I have to do is fill in the rest! Second fanfic - feel free to send feedback!
Spoilers? none just yet... will update if there are any. (Possibly Season 5?)
Rated M for steamy, hot, sensual... did I mention hot?...sexual content (eventually... not in the first few chapters).
Set In: Season 5ish... sometime after O'Neill has asked Carter a million 1 times to go to the cabin and she's refused.
P.S. Insert "I don't own any of the characters ..." speech here.

Flames of Temptation: Chapter 1 - Discovery
It was nighttime on P5X 432 – the sound of crickets and the sweet smell of summer nights created an enjoyable atmosphere for SG1. For some reason this planet had long night hours and shortened days. But no one seemed to mind. The night sky never got any darker than a deep purple to navy blue and was dusted with stars. The temperature was a nice 77 degrees during the night and didn't get much hotter than 86 during the daytime. Surround by beaches and palm trees, it was by far the closest thing to paradise they had discovered in their off-world travels.
SG1 had first come through the gate a week ago on a follow up mission that SG9 had initially headed. Upon SG9's arrival, they discovered small colonies of people located not too far from the stargate although the gate itself appeared to be completely unused by the locals. After seeing the pictures that SG9 had brought back, Daniel insisted that they check it out… so here they were.
"So, Carter?"
"Yes sir?"
"How many hours a day did they say it was night time here?" Jack questioned as they stepped off the gate platform and made their way through the tropical forest brush towards the village.
"Their day consists of 32 of our Earth hours. I'd say based on the data that SG9 brought back that two-thirds of their day is night-time."
"So. What? 20 hours or so?"
"Something like that sir."
"Why is that?"
"Well it seems like we're near an extreme pole on this planet's surface as well as close to this planet's winter solstice. On Earth, we have the longest days when the globe reaches a point in its elliptical orbit that results in the greatest tilt of the…"
"Aahh!" Jack cut her off just as they reached the clearing at the edge of the village. "I just got rid of my headache Carter."
"Sorry sir."
Daniel brushed by them in awe completely hypnotized by what lie before him.
"Daniel?"
"Jack?" He answered not removing his gaze from the distant object moving towards it like a moth to an open flame.
"Whatcha doing?"
"Oh my god, Jack this is incredible." Daniel said staring up at the vast temple erected by the modest population. "These carvings indicate that these people have roots that trace back to Ancient India thousands of years ago." His hands hungrily traced the carvings as he moved across the large expanse of pillars. "The temple structure, carvings, and writings have to be part of one of the earliest forms of Hinduism ever to have been discovered on Earth… maybe even earlier."
The others took a walk around the temple just to make sure the location was secure. Although they knew they wouldn't encounter any hostiles, it had become a team habit to check the area at least once while Daniel got lost in his translations.
The temple was large in comparison to the village that surrounded it. It was well lit with open flames in small clay dishes, fresh flower petals and garlands found all over the temple grounds. They regrouped at the central pillar.
"Everything appears to be secure O'Neill." Teal'c reported.
"Good. Carter?"
"Also secure sir. Everyone appears to be sleeping."
"Jack! Sam! Come see this." Daniel called from around the corner.
"What is it?!" Jack asked.
"Look at these!" Daniel's eyes darting back and fourth between blocks of carvings bordering the bottom of the temple. The carvings all seemed to have a common theme.
After a moment of staring at the carvings, mouth wide open, Jack as expected had something to say, "Ummm. Daniel? ... Is that what I think it is?!"
