I wouldn't have included this one if the guy's name was Xavier, but John is such a popular name that I don't think I'm violating his privacy.
This is one of my favourites
because it contains one of my preferred sentiments (the intertwining of
love and lust, also featured in Fugitive
Sun), and also because I think it expresses that sentiment especially
well. And it allows the reader to use his imagination a bit.
There, I saved you the trouble of complimenting me.
