Why this must be read: Lt. Laura Cadman. Of all the characters that appear in one or two episodes of SGA, she's one of my favourites. The sassy tap-dancing bomb expert who got under Rodney's skin in "Duet" is often used as a means to get the boys together. She's got the right blend of annoying and won't-back-down qualities that tends to unsettle Rodney and make him think twice, which is exactly what he does in this story.

And then there's the kissing. There's oh-yeah?-so-there! kissing, and participation-is-good kissing, and oh-God-I-want-you-so-much kissing, and we-should-really-stop-kissing. Kissing!! Lots of it, lots and lots of beautifully described, irresistible kissing.


Cadman grinned. "Yeah, but does she kiss as well as Colonel Sheppard?"

Rodney felt himself blushing. How did Cadman know? She couldn't know.

"I heard about what happened in the mess hall."

Oh, that, Rodney had forgotten about that. "He pissed me off."

Cadman nodded. "He's good at that."

"Then he had the nerve to claim that I am not a good kisser."

"After the lessons I gave you?"

Rodney glared at her. "Yes, thank you for that. The grab and press method of kissing is always such a hit."

"Carson liked it," Cadman pointed out.

"Don't remind me."

"He really accused you of being a bad kisser?"

"He said it was 'one-sided.'" Rodney made quotation marks with his fingers as he spoke. "Of course he wasn't saying that when he left."

Cadman didn't say anything for a moment, then she exclaimed, "You kissed him again."

Rodney looked down at his laptop. "I've got work to do. I should really--"

"You did. You kissed him again."

"Yes, yes, I kissed him again, and it was quite good, but that--"

"Was he better than Katie?" Cadman asked, cutting him off.

That was something Rodney didn't want to think about. "I'm not answering that."

She smirked. "He was. Of course he is prettier."

"He is not."

Cadman shrugged. "So what are you going to do now?"
