If I didn't make it explicit enough with the first installation, let me just tell you how much I adore you and the way you handle these people, tell this story, describe this relationship which is all about care-taking and power and trust, without the sex.
*hugs*

This is just as beautifully achy as the first, Jared's situation, Jeff's demeanor delightful to a fault.
I don't know if I can say this right, but I love the idea of a D/s-relationship without the need for physical shackles beyond being markers for 'playtime'. And that final scene, of Jared crossing his wrists behind his back? *heart breaks*

Thank You.
I hope you won't mind me friending you. It should be 'idolizing', though, because I think that's the more correct term. :)
