A sorta fairytale part one,
part two Why this must be read: This is a story you will never forget. It has everything what makes reading enjoyable: beautiful narration, natural progression and build up of emotions, great insight into both characters (although it's told from John's point of view), amazingly written emotions and on top of that very hot smut. The author handles John just beautifully, and he is everything we want him to be, and still the story is realistic in showing his weaknesses. Reading this is a pure joy and after you're done, you might want there was more or go back to the beginning.
It’s been a long long couple of days and he finds himself staring at Elizabeth again and to be honest, this entire lack of self control thing is getting old, but here he is, leaning against the railing beside her and ignoring the hustle and bustle of people below them in the gate room in favor of gazing at her profile like some love struck teenager.
He figures it’s kind of understandable because Elizabeth is beautiful and nothing like the buxom blondes that are woven in and out of John’s past. She’s not so much hot as soft and pretty and someone his mother would love.
But she’s also the leader of this expedition and he’s definitely the Gilligan to her Skipper and he knows nothing could ever happen between them. Ever. Clearing his throat loudly he draws his eyes away from the soft pale skin of her neck and down to his hands, flexing then relaxing his fingers rhythmically.
They’re talking about nothing really, only small trivial things pass their lips and Elizabeth is standing close to him so that her shoulder rubs his when she moves and John thinks maybe them being together wouldn’t be as bad as he thinks it might be and wonders what she would do if he just reached out and grabbed her hand, just entwined their fingers together because sometimes he really just wants to touch her.
