Life Drawing
Dear Author,
It took some guts to pose for this photo. But I wanted to be true to my desires at last, and yeah, impress this guy I met. In my street clothes, most people wouldn't even guess I am gay and those who know assume I am a top, but I am not. This guy, he is really cute and kind of flamboyant, but he has a core of steel. Perhaps he is the one who will see me as I am and complete me.
Photo Description:
The man in the photograph wears black stockings and lace suspenders, and his back is to the camera. He also wears leather: gloves, a belt cinched around his arm, and a double strapped harness over his shoulder and looping around his waist. Under the ankh tattoo in the small of his back, his ass is bare, and a faint blush of pink from a spanking is barely visible…
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love Has No Boundaries" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

Oooh yes its gorgeous and has the right amount of sexy kinkiness. Rob's fetish is let loose and lovingly taken care of, a tender, enticing, sexy little short. Loved it and the emotional connection balanced out perfectly, also the twink factor is unexpectedly delightful.

Did I wait so long to read this?
I know. I know. Read it, you said.
I will, I said.
So much wasted time…
Not only does this gem have some seriously smokin' hot MANTIES going on but the MC is a GINGER!!!!
Kill me now, please.
And AND a twink!
And a dom!
You know what's more? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
The MANTIES wearer is a big, meaty, hunk of a dude that wears overalls cuz he's all good with his hands n shit.
Loved seeing my junk sheathed in translucent sheer fabric or peekaboo lace, my ass showcased by skintight fire engine red satin, the seam running down the crack of my ass making my butt look ripe for a bite or slap.
I was fucking hot in it, all of it.
Oh sure, rub it in.
Yap! You heard me the sub in this scenario is BIGGER than the dom. So, it has
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU.
Now, I'm going to ride off into the sunset with this treasure in my pocket singing Reunited.
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey
Well, technically we never broke up but just go with me here. It feels right.

What a pleasant surprise; considering that BDSM or D/s is not favorite theme when it comes to romance.
(porn, on the other hand ...
)
The D/s tone is light here so I have no problem. I enjoy how the two men explore both Rob's fetish as well as Jamie's kink preference. I enjoy reading Rob's dry tone; Jamie, at first, I think being quite a jerk and he doesn't really explain why.
My complain? Well, Jamie says that
The ending is lovely, fit the photo prompt perfectly...

The prompt picture? Amazing.
The story to accompany the picture? Better than I expected.
I enjoyed the internal angst Rob went through to finally get to acceptance of himself.
Plus, this story hits a lot of my favorite...triggers, if you will. (Like a ginger hero or the reversal of bedroom roles)
I'm a happy camper. :D

Yap, I'm indulging my inner "kink" diva
These are really way to short to go into pages of reviews but
it's hitting the spot at the moment.
I didn't like Jamie. He's an ass and (I don't like dudes with red hair)
He did grow on me later on when he decided to let his ashole ways go.
I did like Rob. A whole lot actually and I liked what they became at the end.
This was worth the read. ;-) Yummy

Oh wow, I LOVED this one!! First of all, the photo that was used for the prompt - that was gorgeous! To be honest, I was quite surprised by how much I liked this picture, I've never been a big fan of lace on men or women alike, but together with the leather and that body? Holy bloody hell. Learned something new about myself right there.
Aaaanyway, back to the story. What I really loved about it, and what I find in surprisingly few BDSM books of any kind, is how Jamie and Rob tentatively try to find out each other's likes and dislikes during their playing, how they tread forward and step back when something becomes uncomfortable - in short, how they get to KNOW each other. In so many stories, the participants just simply know, and I'm always left wondering: 'hey, am I the only one having cautious, sometimes awkward first step experiences?' So, that made the story so much better for me.
What I also loved was how refreshingly un-stereotypical it all was. Rob is the muscle-bound guy, but he likes to allow Jamie to take control (I think one of my favourite moments is when ), whereas Jamie is the cute, small one, but he's the one who likes to be in control. And he's very good at that.
The lace thing really was the icing on the cake - very unusual and it just perfectly suited Rob.
Jamie's short temper grated on my nerve sometimes and this story wasn't perfect - but I loved Rob and Jamie so much I'd have gladly read more about them, preferably in novel-length.
Great contribution to LHNB!!

Really fab kinky f*ckery from Jane Davitt! I loved this HOT little short.
I'll admit, I have no desire to see men in lingerie (even this killer photo-prompt can't change my mind). But I think this author did a bang-up job of writing a story that was just the right amount of spicy and sweet. My one complaint? I know I'm being peevish but I dislike when an English author is trying to write a book with American characters and some Britishisms sneak through. "Fancied" should be banished from this book.

Men in panties...yes please!
Another hit story for the LHNB M/M event. This story was awesome! I wasn't sure if I was gonna like Jamie but he turned out to be a good guy. I did like how he gave Rob that 'push' to not be embarrassed about what he likes. (I wish I could flip thru all the photos!)

Another little novella from the LHNB event. 4 stars from me.
This one features Rob and Jamie who are both looking for things they desire, but don't normally get. Kinks, fetishes, all sorts in this one, but I have to admit it was the picture for the prompt that absolutely grabbed me and made me read this story. 10 stars for the picture!!

I loved this kinky cross-dressing story. Smoking hot and intensely emotional. <3
June 10, 2013
3.5* rounded up to 4*
This could have been 5 stars... but somehow I felt let down too much for that. I know the author isn't the character, but I was enjoying this until Rob not only kink-shamed himself, but also kink-shamed other cross-dressers. So the needless going on about that, as it could have easily been replaced with something else making as much if not more sense, made me clench my teeth hard and forced me out of the story, an observer only after that.
I liked Rob quite a bit, but didn't find this story very erotic. That may be due the fact that I was so early on distanced. The misunderstanding was a tiny bit over-dramatic. For some reason I find myself thinking "what a pity!", because this story had so much potential and I liked the overall prose and writing style. Maybe if written as a novel with more time at hand...?

This is a lovely freebie from the talented Ms. Davitt. She always does an excellent job with her characters. These two are delicious and their getting to know each other's kink is a delight. She turns something which seems a bit too feminine into something sexily arousing. Definitely recommended for m/m lovers who enjoy a bit of lessor featured kink.

Oh my *takes a breath*, well that was...veeeeera nice. It was just realistic enough to be believable while losing none of it's hotness. Me like the incorporation of the picture at the end :D

Holy bejebus, this was hot. And emotional. And laid me just as bare as Rob and Jamie.
One of the best things in the world is when someone surprises you by stepping towards you, instead of away, when what you feel is one of your deepest vulnerabilities is revealed. Wow. Powerful. And overwhelming.
For those of you into kink, this will tick some boxes, sure, but it's what feeds the kink that got me. Got me good. And hot.
He caught his breath, studying me as if sincerity left a trace.

Immediately I am pulled into the story: we meet Jamie, who is a bit of a dick, and Rob, who is very attracted to Jamie, but thinks he's too much of a dick. Luckily, the story doesn't end there.
I really enjoy the writing of this author, but there often seems to be a bit too much emphasis on BDSM. It's not my interest, though not a real repellant either. Sometimes it can be good for the story, but I really don't want to read about BDSM book after another, and another. Here the elements are light: neither of the guys are really in the scene, but Jamie wants to explore being dominant. Rob's not really into BDSM but finds the idea of submitting to Jamie intriguing. He has his own kink, that he is very hesitant to reveal to anyone.
I wished this was longer. There's a romance here and not just kink. Though men in lingerie definitely works for me. So it's kind of best of both worlds, really, but just a bit too short to be all I want.
The author has most/all of her works free on Archive of Our Own, I'll need to try to grab something more from there.

Stories about unusual D/s relationships always fascinate me, and 'Life Drawing' is a good example. Both partners start out with incorrect, even unfounded assumptions made during a chance meeting, but are curious enough to want to get to know each other. They have to really work to reach an understanding of each other's needs since the "standard" behaviors and tools do not work for them. The things they come up with, the way they tailor their scenes to what they want, is totally hot. The symbols of leather and lace come to really mean something to them, and I loved being part of their journey.
Rob is tall, well-muscled, and very few people guess that he's gay. He loves wearing lace and silky underwear, but is afraid of being laughed at. This shame has held him back from opening up to men he's had relationships with, and when he meets and gets to know Jamie, Rob is just as afraid he'll ridicule him as he has been with all other partners. He may be ready to try being a sexual sub, but the silk is his secret to keep. Or so he thinks.
Jamie is an artist and may look like a twink, but he's a Dom all the way. He is also willing to experiment, so when Rob hints at being curious, Jamie is flexible enough to try something new. And the role play he comes up with is not only super hot, but satisfies his artistic side as well. He has a few issues with arrogance and assuming things, never mind the facts, but he is willing and able to learn – motivated by his attraction to Rob.
If you like studies in contrast of the physical and emotional kind, if you enjoy reading about men into silk and lace but not completely into cross-dressing, and if you’re looking for a fun, very hot read with a touch of kink, then you will probably like this free short story.
