Though Duty Keep Us Parted
From the moment she looked into his hazel eyes and felt the air crackle between them, Elizabeth knew that she was deeply in trouble. Gone were the thoughts of her lover, Simon and her attention to duty and responsibility faded in the light of his smile. In spite of her best efforts to resist him, John Sheppard called to her with his soulful expressions, his voice of rough velvet, his unshaven jaw and his lingering streak of nobility and heroism.
Her soul trembled in the Atlantis night, longing for his touch. She yearned to feel the touch of his lips against her skin, and the caress of his hands on her body, longed for the sound of his voice calling for her - only for her.
Yet the harsh requirements of her role as expedition leader forced her to keep distant from him, she dared not give in to the desires of her heart. For, through his actions, John was responsible for destroying all hope of her people finding easy peace in the Pegasus galaxy...
