SUMMARY: Deborah and Athena invite one of their shy male 
classmates over to study.

COMMENTARY: I enjoyed this story because of the bondage and 
forced sexual activity.  That sounds odd, since I normally 
don't care for stories that involve forced or non-consensual 
sex.  On the other hand, I can see how such a situation 
could be both frightening and arousing.  I think it is the 
mix of emotions that got to me.

I think that the author went a bit too far with her female 
characters' actions, at the end of the story.  I suppose 
that they were just trying to protect their reputations, but 
I had a hard time seeing it that way, while I was reading 
the story.  At the time, their actions just seemed cruel to 
me.  It wasn't so much what they did, as much as the fact 
that their victim didn't seem to get any joy or thrill out 
of it.

So, I enjoyed this story, with reservations.  It is arousing 
and entertaining, but it is also short on plot, the author 
cuts to the chase too quickly, and the way it ends makes me 
uncomfortable.  Okay?

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 7.5 (out of 10)

        - Arousal: 4/5
        - Editing: 5/5
        - Plot and Characters: 2/5
