Reactions and Reviews
That's the one where Ray is whacked across the back with an iron bar, is paralyzed (perhaps permanently), and Bodie takes him home and has anal sex with Ray. And then starts worrying when Ray experiences back pain after sex. Luckily, the doctor (who, amazingly enough, is not gay in _this_ story) is very understanding and supportive.
Oh, and the discussions earlier in the story about what will become of their relationship if Ray is unable to achieve orgasm are enough to make one throw up. [3]
I love anything Jane and Kathy Keegan write EXCEPT the Elf stories and 18th century things. You might consider reading her "Old Longings" Universe... if you like major H/C. It's about 5 stories, with Doyle being raped in the first one, and you have to gloss over the "Bodie Fixing the Rape by Showing Doyle What True Love Is...." Honest! Get past that and the rest is great. Second story has Doyle going undercover as a to hook a Russian who has a weakness for curly-haired...etc. Practical Demonstrations has Doyle temporarily paralized [sic]. I'm sorry, I'm lousy at synopsis. [4]
