OK,  I'll repost my question from "Live Journal" here then.  :)

My oh my! That might have been a mistake for Ennis to let Dupree know that Ellery is the bottom/submissive in the bedroom. As a coworker and lower ranking officer it could diminish some respect on Duprees part. Ennis must sure like Dupree to tell him stuff like that.

As for Jim, I doubt he'll go to the Sheriffs office will he?

As for the second question, you'll have to wait to find out.

As for the first question, I think Ennis considered it rather public knowledge (particularly at the Red Stallion) that Gene had been Bill's lover, and Gene is a rather obvious femme submissive.  So he might not have thought he was giving anything away.  And he might not have considered the sexual politics aspect either.

Thanks all for sharing.  my work computer blocks LJ.  So I have to go home to read the posted chapters.  Now as far as the spoiler that David shared.  OOOOh.  Now I know what to look for and have an opinion to go off of, or as it was noted, it was a spoiler. 


Again,  Thanks

Public knowledge perhaps.   But it still surprises me that Ennis didn't turn red faced and angry at the question.  I sure as hell don't discuss such things with my friends.   

I'd have figured Ennis to say something like, "Dupree, first of all its none of yer business. Secondly, there are all kinds of gay guys.  Some masculine and some feminine.  The top/bottom rolls are obvious in some, but not in others.  So drink your beer boy.  Your curiousity is appreciated but you make me worried that I'll find you in a lip lock with Gene Autry doing some research!"

I agree, David, especially since Ennis turns red-faced, and usually angry, at the slightest little mention of anything having to do with his relationship with Ellery, much less his sex life.

On the other hand, maybe he has a need to really talk about some of this stuff and the only person he has to talk with is Ellery. He knows Ellery trusts and likes Dupree and Ennis likes Dupree so the trust is there too? Still, Ennis is soooo private....
