Very nice section with Essex in his past form. Nice tone of regret and longing there.
I'm not too sure how I feel about Rachel at this point - she does seem terribly indecisive and helpless, and I wish she would get her act together. And it seems that, with the Phoenix warning of dire things, she might just have to by the end of this.

That's why I like them together, Rachel and Sinister. She never, ever has to worry about him dying or having to martyr herself on his behalf. He's not worth it. It's weird, but I think it works, for her. Clearly, I spend too much time thinking about these things.
And seriously, dating Essex would be like, "Ah...sweetie? That body in the basement...?"
Eek.

Surprisingly, she's not the one with the issue this time!

You did a spectacular job with the chapter. It's unbelievably erotic and titillating, but it's also brilliantly emotional as well. This Sinister may be evil, but he's also human -- something you've shown very well throughout the course of this story.
Without the slow lead in, this coupling wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying ... because it's significantly more than fucking between them.
I've been doing a little bit of Sinister reading, and tripping through the Wiki pages so I have some understanding of the dynamics. You're tempting me, you know.
See my icon ... I made it. ::grins:: I don't think there's a single other image of Sinister I could find that worked for me. The newest version -- the one where he looks like the Hulk -- doesn't work at all for me.

Yay for your icon! Feel free to snag mine :) I made it! There will be a fanmix forthcoming (already made, just have to upload it).
Thank you so much for all your nice comments! ♥
