Why this must be read: This is a really terrific example of one of my favorite tropes: a couple bringing up a new kink, negotiating the terms, and trying it for the first time. In this case, Steve is desperate to be spanked but doesn't know how to ask for it, which Danny only figures out after Steve starts slapping Danny on the ass at random and sometimes inappropriate times. Though Danny doesn't share Steve's kink, he wants to give Steve what he needs, so he agrees to do it.

The spanking itself is hot, but what makes the story so interesting is how the author approaches the kink: not just as porn, but as a way to explore their relationship and their feelings for one another. Steve's vulnerability is a revelation, and I loved seeing Danny testing his own boundaries and surprising himself with the results. Even if spanking isn't your kink, I urge you to check it out!

"You want me to -- You're asking --" The words, when he finally gets them out, sound incredulous, but a small part of him isn't surprised that Steve wants this, which should tell him something. "Jesus, Steve, before breakfast?" he adds peevishly and halleluiah, Steve's mouth loses the pinched, hurt tightness and curves in a smile.

"You're saying if I feed you, you'll do it?"

Danny exhales, and swipes his hands through his hair. He's terrified; limp-dicked, dry-mouthed, but there's something gratifying about Steve's trust in him and if the whole slap my ass thing isn't doing much for him, seeing Steve like this, so fucking vulnerable, so needy, most definitely is. He wants to hug the guy, pet him calm, fuck him until Steve's throat is hoarse from screaming out his name and his ass is tender on the inside, in all the secret places only Danny gets to go.

He wants Steve so much in general that this is something they'll work out because the alternative isn't there to be chosen. He's not walking away. Not over this.

"I'm saying, give me some coffee and then we'll talk. For three minutes or until I start blushing. If I blush, we stop."
