another really sexy and Erotic one with gorgeous art that i finished recently ish. anyway, this one def gets dark and seedy but not rapey and abusive at least not with the actual main couple, there is hints of that in the male lead's past. i say male lead cause we almost entirely have the story filtered thru his pov and he is the bottom if that matters to yall lol. anyway he's a hardcore masochist and sub and i LOVE to see it. i only rly get into sadomaso stories when the maso is deeply into it and even seeking it out. so many stories with this dynamic tend to favor the pov of the sub yes but usually in a way where he is kinda pulled into the relationship in spite of themselves or even against their own wishes. i hate that shit. i'll take dubcon where one party is hesitant but then turns out to LOVE it vs a consensual sex scene that ends with one person kind of enduring or tolerating it instead. who wants to read that? thats not sexy! Anyway, this story is actually pretty interesting however it IS short so only so much can be expanded upon but it is thoughtful and gets into the masochistic cop's psychology well enough. the top isnt actually a sadist and is instead his younger extremely devoted and loving work partner and kouhai. so he takes on a more dominant role in sex to please his crush but it suits him fine and they have a great time together albeit it takes a while for them to be an official couple because of the shame and guilt that the lead guy is dealing with the entire story. but we get some insight into why when we learn more about his past (and last relationship) and anyway i was pretty satisfied with the ending and only regret there wasnt more but it didnt feel like a non ending or an abrupt ending. anyway if u like a bit of action and kink in ur erotic BL then this is a good pick. esp when paired with the stunning art. (and despite how darkly erotic it isthe top is rly such a good guy who adores the lead to bits and helps learn to love himself again. but thankfully that doesnt mean he doesnt still enjoy kinky sex. rly hate it when trauma = only able to have kinky sex ccause kinky sex means there's smth wrong with you~~ smh!)
