"Scratches" by Lord Malinov (passionate romance). BillyG: 10, 9, 10
"Scratches" by Lord Malinov (malinov@mindless.com). Guest review of BillyG (hayden@mindless.com). --- On the occasion of their Eighth Wedding Anniversary, Malinov gives depth to the passion of his love with Diana. In his opening sentence he writes: "When I first slipped inside her, she bit her nails in me." This is about passion - unchecked, ungoverned, raw passion. This short bit by Malinov doesn't tell a story, at least not a story with a conventional beginning or ending. It's more a reminiscence of the intensity of their fucking, ". . . in wild ecstasies, crescent gouges, river wound welts. It's a good read, even a strong read, poetic in its wildness and telling in it's wondrous simplicity. Read it and then reflect a moment. Try to remember the passion of your own loving, how impossibly mad it was and how you didn't give a shit about convention or propriety or even saneness. Ratings for "Scratches" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 9 (even if it didn't have a plot) BillyG (appeal to reviewer): 10 |
