Denial by Bryn Colvin

[reviews_and_ramblings]

This a story of slow seduction.

Fraser is a goth guy disenchanted of world and maybe a little bored. He hangs out with his friends (women) and has brief flings, not very important. Then he meets Darren, a younger and handsome man, who istinctively like him but from the very first time says: I don't touch.

Passing over from what at first seems a refusal, Fraser manages to know better Darren and learns he was traumatized from a bad sexual experience with a girl. So Fraser sets himself to seduce Darren, even if he normally doesn't play the dominant role in his relationships.

The story is very brief and has a tinge of normality and sadness in it. The world in where both live Fraser and Darren seems bare and dark, made of dirty club and smell of sweat. But they succeed in built something between them and for them. A recurring situation in the stories I read by Bryn Colvin.

Not bad, only a complaint: it's possible that a traumatic sexual experience with a girl leads Darren toward guys? Is it because he needs to find a dominant figure that almost coaxes him in making sex again?
