To pay for his father's gambling debts, 18 year old Danny has sold himself to Peter Archer. Tonight Archer's going to take what he's been waiting for.
This 5000 word short includes explicit content, including: m/m, dubious consent, BDSM, ass play, enemas, and first time anal sex. All characters are 18 years or over.
I mean, it is, but not so much sexual as psychological.
Psychoerotic smut. Good lord in heaven.
Structurally and thematically, it's a brilliant bit of sleight-of-hand.
The colonic irrigation bit pulled me out of the story and killed my boner—I know of what I speak: it's not sexy—but just when I thought I was going to be free of this absurdly compelling little story, the understanding of just what I'd been reading blooms in my head, right before a smoking-hot fuck-vignette rather precluded two-handed reading.
And I've broken off completely from the character.
I wasn't comfortable with the psychological manipulation Archer played. I almost physically balked when I heard Daniel call him "daddy" while he was being raped. Yes, I believe he was raped because there wasn't anything in what Daniel went through to prove to me it was consensual. Nor did I sense any shift in Daniel's behaviour. Having him say he started to enjoy it, without really understanding why that was, pulled me away from him.
The blurb says it all. Oh, except for the very good writing and the savvy ploy of dragging this out over several follow ups that you'll just have to have on hand. Put this on the hot tamale train.
