5 Books On My Desk

[keiramarcos]

The fact is that I mostly buy ebooks these days but our house is loaded down with print books that we bought before we had devices for ebook reading because both my husband and I are both avid readers. He also has a serious hard-on for audio books. Nine times out of ten, he's listening to audio book on his mp3 player instead of actual music.

1. The 15th Edition of the Chicago Style Manual (because I'm currently editing an article for a magazine that is due next week)

2. Master/slave Relations: Handbook of Theory and Practice by Dr. Robert J. Rubel (because I'm considering scenarios for the next TTB story)

3. Killers: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Times by Nigel Cawthorne (professional project research)

4. He Shall Thunder in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters (because it's my favorite book in that series)

5. The Shelter of Stone by Jean Auel (because a new book in this series is coming out soon and I was brushing up on it so I could be prepared for the hardcore reading session I'll have on my Kindle when it comes out)

“I’m going to ask John to pierce my nipples.”

“I’ll send you home with a piercing kit,” Carson murmured. “Do you have the jewelry?”

Rodney blushed. “Yes, John’s sister-in-law gave me several sets as a gift before we left Earth. I haven’t shown John, yet.” He touched his collar. “I was hoping to surprise him with it on his birthday.”

Carson grinned. “Excellent birthday present.”

It's on the agenda but that wouldn't be an "exhibition" type thing.

No no. Definitely a private moment. I see it like...You said that John was keeping the wedding rings secret, but then Jared died. Now, Rodney's got his secret present, so I'm hoping this one works out.

I'd love to see it. The piercing scene from Xanthe's world was HOT hot hot.

I'm hoping we'll see a scene where one of the couples (I don't care which one) does some play piercing, from before the piercing, during, and after. It sounds interesting and yet I'm not quite sure of how it would work. I know we got a scene where Sean was pierced but we were only told he was already play pierced, we didn't get to see the act of piercing itself.

Hmmm. Piercing is odd to me, because I don't understand why people don't bleed when they're pieced -- I mean, they can, but I've seen piercings where they don't, and that just doesn't compute for me.

But what I like about this dialog is the promise of Rodney doing something to make John happy. I really feel that John saved Rodney from his life, so I love it when we see Rodney saving him back.
