This is a short story composed of brief glimpses of the encounters between a professor, Conroy, and an ex-student, Matthew, and how they finally end up having sex.

I liked this even though it was very short and I hope the author will continue with this in the future.

I got the impression that the professor was a Dom and Conroy was conflicted about starting anything with Matthew because he believed he'd end up squashing the boy's free spirit, but Conroy was attracted to Matthew.

My question is why Matthew felt vulnerable that particular day? I'm guessing but maybe his mother decided not to take him with her when she moved and he was now alone and felt like no one wanted him. So when the professor took him home and after sex Matthew repeated "Thank you" over and over, maybe it meant that someone did notice him and wanted to be with him even if for a little while. At least that's how I put this story together with what little is given in for us to read. But I'd really like the author to complete it so I don't have to guess, lol!

I did enjoy this even though it's very short. The short snippets of their encounters didn't bother me since it's just a different style and I've use the same technique in some of my own writings. ( )

I was originally going to rate this between 3 and 3.5 stars but then realized that I was penalizing a very good short story for being...short! But I admit it...I'm greedy - I want more! ( )
