I actually feel that Ryan is a rimmer; I wrote another story, Tipping the Velvet (http://jlh.livejournal.com/265728.html), where he talks about why. And I feel Simon would like it particularly because it's kinda dirty—not kinky, but dirty.

The more I read and write the more I realize that hot comes out of the feeling. You can have something that's just hot, but it's so much hotter when the sex has meaning and you can tell what it is. So thank you for that! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!
