About the author

Before dawn and after dark, Lee Benoit is a writer of queer fiction, some contemporary, some speculative, some historical. During the daylight hours she is a professor of sociology & anthropology. In the old days, Lee traveled the world doing field research. Nowadays, she lives in the middle of a New England hayfield where being a two-spirit single parent provides more than enough excitement. Lee also paints watercolors, bakes wild-yeast sourdough bread, and shares her bed with a pair of cats and an abjectly adoring hound-retriever mutt. Whenever she gets itchy feet and misses the world of research and advocacy, Lee invents a new world in her head and takes notes on what happens there.

This is another scene in the story of Preston and his boy, Paulo. Paulo loves his Master, and he is loved in return. In the two years they have been together Paulo has never once used his safe word. Until today. Preston doesn’t even know what the matter is, and it is difficult for Paulo to tell him. Eventually, he does. Master and boy work together to get Paulo past it.

These two are just so sweet together, a D/s relationship based on love and respect. Paulo has a habit of singing tunes with his own words added, “For his master, his splendid master, the Paulo subs tonight…” and it is just adorable. These two are not perfect (poor Preston has a wicked case of arthritis in his hands, sometimes making flogging difficult) and it makes reading them even better. Very short, very good.

Short and sweet. This was a wonderful little snippet of life with Preston and Paulo except that Paulo hits a roadblock and the two of them work beautifully together to get beyond it. I gather that there’s more to their story that I’ve managed to miss, so I’ll go back to check it out. Lovely!
