Reason for Recommending: Probably the first Q/O piece I read that made me realize that fanfic could be both erotic and poetic. Short, spare (not a word nor a syllable wasted), and lovely, it has a deceptively simple structure of description, action, and reaction that flowers into deep passion and tenderness. A most exquisite piece.

Quote from story:

He tastes solid like granite.

I run my hand over his back, feeling the well-toned muscles ripple beneath my fingers. He shifts up onto hands and knees, waiting for my next exploration.

He tastes molten like magma.

I feel the heat radiating from his body as my legs wedge his apart. He pushes his hips back, silently asking for more.
