i think i just love Scarlet Beriko like she gets how to make things EROTIC not just sexual. this actually has very little sex in it. like so little it hurts. because it is overflowing with sensuality and eroticism. and the Top and Bottom dont fall into boring usual archtypes and tropes. they feel like real dudes who just happen to have certain preferences of position. altho one of them is a virgin going in. anyway the catalyst for this Friends to Lovers romance (i will never get sick of friends to lovers u can fight me) is based around a very intense pantyhose fetish but as somoene who loves pretty legs and legwear (i have a ton of thigh high stockings, over the knee socks, tights and back seamed pantyhose myself...) i totally sympahtized with that black haired pervert. and some dudes rly do have gorgeous legs and its a CRIME more dont wear tights. but i digress! this was just a rly good story. about friends navigating their friendship, their desires, their eventual romance. and yes it is all very consensual, tho there is some of the usual Partner A is very enthusiastic about sex and Partner B is less enthusiastic but will go along with it anyway cause they love each other but people dont always have the same level of sex drive or feel the need to express their love sexually as frequently. the bits set after they graduate and start living together as an adult couple is very interesting and Realistic. which means its not all that romantic but it worked for me and i liked it. ymmv ofc.
