Excellent little story that really illustrates the heat between Kid and Lou, even though they are split up. Really shows all the frustration, anger and yes, lust. I loved it.

I'm a sucker for NC-17, for Kid and Lou and for mixed feelings and angst - so this story was perfect. It's hot, it's sincere and shows the bumps and fears regarding human relations, those you always encounter - however much love there is. And most of all I love it because it shows that female sexuality is strong and craving - nothing less than that of males.

why- I really hate this part, how can I just pick one thing. I like the story, the imagery, the emotions, everything.

This is a great story dealing with Buck and Ike. It shows a wonderful tenderness and loving relationship.
