i'm with a lot of the previous commenters: a competent, intelligent ray is one of my FAVORITE THINGS. &hearts i also love the structure of the piece. the way it plays with time adds mystery to their relationship, and to the progression of their lives. very nicely done!

also? for MANY REASONS, this little scene SET ME ON FIRE:

Looking down, Fraser grinned. He rubbed against Ray like a cat, sensuously enjoying the wiry body under his. Grabbing Ray's hands, he threaded their fingers together and pushed them onto the bed above Ray's head. "You know the rules, Ray. Tell me 'no' and I'll stop."

MMMMMMMMMMM...fraser.
