Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
David:
Louisev,
I have no trouble with seeing Ennis in a "Dom" role. I think most succesful sexual relationships have defined roles. As people get comfortable with eachother those tendencies (dominant or submissive) can be explored and refined. Of course not everyone has a partner that shares such feelings. But those who do, well you get some of the hot, explicit scenes you have portrayed for us.
As for the fictional Ennis, I think his characters repressed youth and poor anger management could certainly produce a Dominant and aggressive person. I liked your earlier comments on how Ellery is an extrovert in public, yet submissive in private. Just as Ennis is an introvert in public, yet Mr.Coyote comes out in private. 8)

Louise,
Ennis is overcoming years of repression and fear and failure to accept who he is. The sexual unfolding with an accepting and encouraging partner in private, is helping him accept himself as he is accepted by Ellery. At the same time, he is slowly coming out publicly. But that takes time, plenty of time, more than a few months and more than hot and heavy sex (but it is helpful, and how!).

David, Scudder,
Thanks for the commentary, that is what I as going for. I tried to include in "Looking for Answers" some explanation from Ellery as to why he was attracted to Ennis... the moment he growled at him defensively when Ellery started asking him questions, and his own internal reaction to Ennis's growl told Ellery what kind of a man he was sexually. And that was the springing off point for Ellery attempting to get closer to him at that time.

For those who have followed Ennis from his first fumbling grope at the Rose Hotel back in chapter 23 of "Taking Chances" to his rope tricks in the middle of "A Second Chance", I want to know how you felt about the development of Dom!Ennis and his experiments with domination and bondage.

Hmmm...bondage , I am so tied up with Ennis' take-charge attitude when it comes to his sexual relations with Ellery (so far in Looking for Answers) that I am sure Ennis' experimentation with bondage won't be too much of a leap for me ;D
If Ellery is up for it (which I bet he is) - then I am up for it too! ;)
I really wanna catch up and get to A second chance, but I don't wish to rush myself ...although it'll help if I didn't read the bedroom scenes 5 times over ... 8)
louisev:
hehehe Lucise, take your time, at least you aren't clamoring for me to write five chapters a day. Today I am pretty tired... I had to go to the immigration office early this morning after a late night writing last night and I have to travel tomorrow afternoon...
but I am really trying very hard to make every intimacy between them mean something, beyond the entertainment factor of course... something that shows the level of trust and intimacy between them as well as the unfolding sexual dimensions of a man who spent his life in repressed fantasy. There are plenty more bedroom scenes to go!
