Oh man, roux!! I had to sign in for a minute to rec this fic. I'm loving it so far!
The beautiful thing about this, is every single sentence seems to have a double meaning. Ennis giving Jack the water bottle but not taking one for himself because "I know my limits, but I don't know yours"... uh, *thud*
and the entire conversation about Sage being obediant. Then the wild stalion... um, I really don't even have words. This fic has me hook, line and sinker.
Alexis is definitely going to ruffle some feathers with this one though. I just really hope people will go in with open minds and realize that BDSM doesn't fit the stereotypes and stigmas most people think of and that, a lot of times, it isn't even about sex, but trust and loving relationships and mutual consent so that both partners get what they want out of the situation.
The biggest complaint I'm seeing so far is "Jack is the submissive one, again" and "Jack is in the feminine role". I wish people would stop thinking with those stereotypes though and realize that being the submissive partner in BDSM doesn't exactly mean what it sounds like. The sub is actually the one with the most power because they give permission and allow everything to happen and say when to stop. Without the sub allowing the use of his/her body, nothing could happen. The dom's pleasure is entirely dependant on the sub allowing it.
Anyway, sorry to rant about that, but some of the discussion I've been seeing about this story has been frustrating me. I think this is going to be a very interesting ride!
