Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
David:
That'll get Chris Slayers over here quickly! LOL :laugh:

Love is not quantifiable. It is not just a feeling because love takes time. It involves process and a story and the story we tell is important to the nature of love itself. We use LOVE when we want to proclaim that a long-developing relationship works.
Ennis love of Jack is not diminished by his love of Ellery. If anything, it may be increased, not decreased, and increased proportionally to his love of Ellery. Ellery is lovable in his own right, as is Ennis, as is Jack, each lovable in, and of, and for himself.

I wanted to thank everyone who chimed in about your take on their relationship. It is difficult to know how far to push a topic. And Meira, in response to your comment about it happening too quickly with the bondage... for Ennis, I was hoping that the flashback episode when he roped Jack would serve as the seed for his getting more inventive, particularly because he told Ellery about it and that led to Ellery asking him to use the lariat. Ennis knew, from his first experience tying up Jack with the lariat that it wasn't really a suitable medium to use on a lover whom you don't want to injure, and after leaving rope burns on Ellery he was determined to think of a better solution after their camping experience.
I have been cautious about "just how inventive" Ennis can get, and have tried to keep the focus on things he would have experience with (ropes and knots) and being introduced to new things (the dildo) by Ellery who is more worldly.

Note: Please do not be alarmed
I am leaving after work tomorrow to drive to Baden Baden for a weekend seminar. While I have had some free time during my normal "workdays" to write some chapters, that time will be curtailed since I will be busy during the European day this weekend (until I come home Sunday afternoon) so there will not be as many updates. But this is a temporary situation. It will give Lucise and others time to catch up and for new readers to savor the experience of reading the "Laramie Saga" from the beginning.
Edit: there WILL be updates and of course I will be posting in here. But if I am lucky maybe a chapter each day.

Pgcatz: I for one would not want to try to stifle contradictory opinions. However, I would ask you whether you have actually read the stories prior to making your comments. One thing I do believe is unfair to the thread and to the forum as a whole is to make a comment sight unseen. Have you read the books as yet?
