Why This Must Be Read: This story's set inmelagan's Sensual Magic 'verse, in which John's a vampire and Rodney's a much sought-after "potential" - the ultimate mate for the right vampire. I especially like fics set back in Elizabethan times, as this one is, and John even has a passing dalliance with Will Shakespeare, and inspires a sonnet. This story is set a lot further back in time than the main Sensual Magic 'verse and the author explains how the timeline works at the end, but just roll with all that as the story's fun and hot and well worth a read.
McKay was searching through the books. “Here, if you haven’t already seen this one, it might interest you.” He handed John a book and turned away to rummage for something in a cupboard.
La géometrie. By a Frenchman, Descartes. John vaguely remembered hearing the name, but it had been decades since he’d done any serious mathematical studies. He began to flip through the book haphazardly, glancing up frequently to study McKay’s broad back. What was it about the man? He was not, in the classical sense, the most beautiful man John had ever met, but he was intensely vital, almost radiant with warmth. John wondered how McKay’s blood would taste. Then he wondered how the taste would change when McKay was aroused.
“Would you like a drink?”
John almost dropped the book.
“Wine, I mean.” McKay offered a glass.
Wine. Yes, of course, wine. And how had McKay managed to catch him off-balance again?
“Or I could make us some chocolate? Or, oooh, coffee? Have you had either of those before? I’ve got beans for both. And a grinder I designed myself.”
Yes, John had tried both coffee and chocolate. Since the new chocolate house had opened some years back, he’d picked up a fair number of partners there on winter evenings, when darkness came early. Did McKay know that some people believed chocolate to be an aphrodisiac?
Did McKay believe that himself?
"Wine will be fine," John said.
