Okay, gang...
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.
I am not so much asking whether it meets your taste (everyone has different tastes) but how you felt this has progressed in the story. Part of why I introduced it is because Ennis has had 20 years after first meeting Jack, most of it alone, and two years in a small room thinking about what he missed out on, and is suddenly in the arms of a willing and adventurous lover with a libido to match his own long-repressed desires.
I introduced this theme not merely for entertainment, but also as a way of flagging Ennis's unfoldment and growth on a sexual level as an accompaniment to his perhaps more subtle (perhaps not so subtle) emotional unfoldment which will lead to his coming out as homosexual to the world at large and accepting himself.
If I didn't trust that all of you in this forum were completely devoted to the development of Ennis and Ellery's relationship I might not dare to open this question, but I feel comfortable asking for frank responses.
