Warning: Possessive, out of control sex in this bit.

- YAY! I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again) - I love your John. I love the darkness in his character - and we get to see him out of control here, and get to see him being lost in his emotions. Sigh. I loved it.

"I just needed to know I wasn't going to be the only total screw-up in the relationship," Rodney said, looking a little smug. I love this too. In the 'honeymoon' stage of a relationship, it can be so hard to see faults in your partner, and for someone with Rodney's inate insecurity I can understand how intimidating a relationship would be with someone whom he considered flawless.

I also like John's response of"I'm surprised you haven't run screaming for the hills,", which shows that he has recongnised and accepted both his own wild emotions and Rodney's courage in accepting them.

Lovely chapter, Xanthe.
