Why This Must Be Read: Rodney is a fashion designer and John is his model. The best part of this story is the plot twist. While I can’t say what it is without spoiling the story, I can say that once you discover it, you’ll want to go back and reread the whole story from a new perspective.

“You're here already?” John turned and saw Rodney McKay striding toward him, his familiar scowl darkening the cavernous room. He'd never been so glad to see anybody in his life.

“Hey, Rodney, buddy,” John said, smiling. “Good to see you again.” He reached out a hand as if to clasp Rodney's shoulder.

Rodney stopped short just outside of touching range, though, and John's hand dropped. “Well, that's lovely, thank you. I've never seen you before in my life, but we'll let that pass.” Before John could think of a response to this, he realized Rodney was looking him up and down a little like a rancher at a cattle auction might inspect a prize steer. “God, I can't believe it. That agency actually got something right.” His gaze rose to John's face. “Although you're a little long in the tooth.”

“Hey,” John said.

Rodney flipped a hand at him. “It's fine, it's all right, we can retouch your face. Your body is perfect, and that's what I need most.”

“Glad I can oblige you,” John muttered, trying not to feel panicked. What the hell was Rodney contemplating?

“Okay, that's enough small talk. I need you upstairs, in the dressing room, and naked as soon as possible. Think you can do that?”

John gulped. “Do I have a choice?”

“No.”
