I am wondering HOW exactly Ennis is going to explain leaving Ellery cuffed---and how he is going to apologize for it. I also think that is most of the reason Ellery unloaded on Dupree---I think all that worry/fright adrenaline of possibly getting caught literally with his pants down, and no way to be able to pull them up--got him going, and Dupree got what he would have given Ennis--considering Ennis told him he would never leave him trussed up again like that due to interuptions. sex play like they are doing requires trust, and Ennis is not living up to his end of the bargain. I would hate to see Ellery not want to play anymore cause he can't trust Ennis to stay there and take care of him first.
Dupree may have been wrong to come over after Ellery told him about the romantic moment--but I think Ellery being nasty was mostly left over fright response. Hope he got it out of his system and will be able to talk about it without yelling too much at Ennis.
