What can I even say? You are a GODDESS. You make PORN POETIC. And that's a fucking oxymoron.

He rises smoothly on Kris’s cock and lowers himself with a long surrendering exhale, a little labored. Labor of love.

WHAT THE FUCK. How can you even DO that?

Your praise is heady stuff, bb. *downs shot, shakes head invigorated*

Mallory!

That was.....incredible!!!!! adam and kris having sex, as a birthday gift. holy magdalena...you've only offered up the essence of the essence of all this dreaming we do.

in my aquarian way i sometimes wonder what the point is of going back into the past but the way you've written *the past* here makes me see it can be articulated so powerfully that it is no longer just in the past, you touch its sweet, eternal core.

and seriously?

“Mmm, sweet Southern boy,” Adam is murmuring, with the proprietary delight that just sort of opens him. “Are you going to let me put my cock in you, sweet Southern boy?”

i can just imagine this line out of adam's mouth.

I love you. Thank you.

Good Lord, woman. That was gorgeous. Yes, pure porn, but somehow the porn tells their story, with just the perfect twinge of angst. And isn't it weird that the image that stands out to me isn't Adam in the mirror - which is easy to imagine since we've seen Adam/mirror pics - but the lipstick. Kris's pale skin smeared with Adam's dark lipstick. Guh.

[silver_keynotes]

You and Adam's dark lipstick go back a ways, as I recall. ;) I'm so pleased you liked it, bb.

Absolutely gorgeous, once again: kinky-hot, insightful and painful all at once. And when linked with the story that comes after, all the more ouchy. (I'm going to have to set time aside to read them together.) There's so much here but what's really hitting me is their disconnect, Kris's desire for performance and observation over a trickier and too-revealing two-way communication. He didn't drink six cocktails by accident. Kris may feel himself helplessly giving way but what I'm mostly seeing in this - what Adam is experiencing? - is Adam's repeated willingness to play pretend for Kris when what he himself desperately needs is reality. Adam may own the keys to Kris but he's not using them to unlock anything Kris doesn't want him to.

Lines that jumped out at me:
It’s happening for me all the time.
Mostly he thanked God he’d remembered, for Adam’s sake.
No, don’t look at me, look at yourself.
Kris hurries to smother it just in case.

Just amazing, bb.

Wow, I can't tell you how much it means to see my intentions reflected back with such devastating clarity. I think you understand the story better than I do myself. Certainly you explain it better than I could have. And quotes! You gave me exactly the kind of feedback I'd ask for, if it were socially acceptable to badger readers with narcissistic questions. :D
