Oh I'm blissed out...those t-shrits have done me in.

But I had best go back to the beginning....have I mentioned the fact I love Meli? I just adored what she did for Jack and Ennis so that they had some real privacy and comfort...for the first time. I loved the image of Jack leaning against the door...as much as Ennis did and I loved this..

***Ennis relished the now familiar touch, wanting more but trying to keep control. He was not used to letting his emotions go. He was good at keeping them reined in, had learned over the years that there was no point in letting your emotions rule your head.

But Jack had done something to him; he felt liberated with Jack, and it made him want to grab those reins and run wild and free. The feeling was beyond anything he had ever known.

“Jesus Jack,” Ennis breathed as Jack reached in and touched Ennis, softly at first, as if reacquainting himself, but within seconds he was stroking Ennis into a frenzy.

“The best thing, Ennis, the best thing,” Jack moaned into Ennis’s mouth, nipping at his lip and making him bleed. But Ennis didn’t mind, how could he? The blood was a sign he was alive and Jack had done that.***

Wow. I love the effect Jack and love are having on Ennis...you write his desire and love so clearly and believably..it's gorgeous. And we got a bit of FNIT in there...but Ennis didn't mean to hurt Jack and Jack knows that very, very clearly. Ennis was just overpowered by his emotions..and he didn't realise it was going to hurt like that. Jack didn't either. I so loved though that rather than hiding from what they had done and not talking, these two DO talk. I loved the 'Glad it was you' from Ennis and the effect it had on Jack...sigh... I loved Jack's birthday wishes...and it's not too much to ask...( hint....hint.... ) And Christie..you just KNOW I loved Jack telling Ennis how 'sexy' he would look on horseback.....do I love a flirty Jack.....sigh, sigh ..(again )

I loved Ennis saying he wouldn't hurt Jack next time.. and what the meaning behind it...

***“Won’t hurt you next time, Jack. Promise,” Ennis assured Jack. Jack looked down at him, the gaze he gave Ennis full of a thankful understanding at what Ennis was trying to express.

“You want this?” Jack asked.

“Yeah, I….I want this.” Ennis nodded and knew that his declaration had touched Jack deeply. Jack pushed back down again, kissing Ennis hungrily, and then started a slow trail of kisses down Ennis’s chest. Ennis closed his eyes, the touches and kisses Jack planted on his body a sweet ecstasy. Knowing where Jack was headed, Ennis tried to speak.

“You ain’t gotta….,” Ennis managed.

“Hush. I wanna.” Jack said, and without looking up, carried on delivering a trail of lust- laden kisses.***

I'm *DED*

OH that moment, wanting reassurance...asked Ennis if he wanted it....and Ennis telling him he did...oh the bliss.....I loved their 'salty sexy' kiss too....and Jack's goodbye kiss....but for me...I am slain by the t-shirts under the pillows.....sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh and sigh again...Have I said (this post ) I love this...because I do...Thank you Christie..... sigh, sigh, sigh.
