Why this must be read: Humorous and sexy make this fic a delightful read. Suze captures the voices of Amanda, Methos and Duncan wonderfully. Amanda wants Methos for her birthday and it's up to Duncan to convince him to agree. Along the way, he learns some startling information about Methos, which unleashes his protective instincts. Don't worry, this is far more on the humorous side of things than the angst and the tidbit he learns will have you laughing. Joe also has a small part, demonstrating how very ruthless he can be when he knows Duncan wants him gone.


"She's got a bee in her bonnet about you being five thousand years old. Five thousand years of sexual experience. Five thousand years worth of satisfied women. She thinks you must know all kinds of...tricks. It's got her all worked up. She's walking around in perpetual heat. She's driving me crazy, Methos. I promised her I'd get you to sleep with her. Please, just take her to bed and let me get some rest."

"Oh. Damn." That was interesting. Methos didn't look confused anymore, he looked... resigned. Tired, even.

"What does that mean?"

"MacLeod, I did my best to put Amanda off. You wouldn't believe the line of bullshit I came up with -- it was creative as hell, even for me. And I really thought she bought it."

"Amanda's a pretty smart woman, Methos. She doesn't buy bullshit unless it's on sale."

"I wish she had this time. I'm going to let you in on a secret, MacLeod, but you have to promise me you won't repeat it. Not to Amanda, not to Richie, and especially, not to Joe."

"You're gay." Now why did that suddenly make Duncan feel not just better, but warm, and tingly, and more than a bit hot?

"Huh? What? No, not really. I mean, of course I've had men, more than my share actually, but...that's not the point, MacLeod." Methos glared at Duncan, who was doing his best not to snicker. He didn't get to see Methos squirm like this very often, and
certainly not with this degree of intensity. Whatever this secret of Methos' was, the thought of revealing it to Duncan was making him more than a little uncomfortable. Duncan could have sworn his ears were turning red. It was distracting, but in a cute kind of way.
