Why this must be read: This is a five-star PWP that, like all the best of the genre, gives the reader an insight into the characters involved.

The story is one long present-tense fantasy from a first-person pov and no names are mentioned right until the end.

All of this helps create two impressions: firstly, an immediacy and involvement that pulls you right there into the story. Yet simultaneously there’s also a sense of detachment and distance through objectification that might be experienced in a sexual fantasy – or by an anthropologist observing a ritual.

But that all sense of distance melts away in the last four sentences.


Some people, they do subtle, get a slow and quivering build to effect. This guy does calculated acts of aggression. This guy does instantaneous impact.

This guy, in fact, does biting until my breathing stutters and speeds, while grinding the thick palm of his hand against my crotch. Then, pausing, he flicks his tongue once over the bite, and abandons me to the air.

Like, abandons me. Steps back. Actually steps back and leaves me, shaking and swallowing. The fucking bastard just casually backs away with this incredible, deliberate, even gaze locked onto me... I grit my teeth, try and calm down. No use. I'm actually humming with energy, here. I feel weak, like my wrists and knees only hold me up because he wishes it.


The writing is wonderful throughout. It’s also hotter than hell.

Hot Sky Blue

Oh God, yes; this is one of my favourites. Beautiful writing and so very hot.

I will use my Jim playing basketball icon just for it :-)

Thank you! Jim and Blair stripping off and getting sweaty together; you can't go wrong with that ;-)
