So continues my attempt to fulfill a debt I feel I have with Alison Tyler since I've gotten so many stories from her (free and ones I paid for) that I felt the need to review every one.
I love this story. It builds up with a longing for latex and shows it very well. Details are in just the right places, the sound and feel of rubber, the private way of putting it on. The author does a wonderful job of showing the main character's obsession before we get into the fun bits.
Once the two characters interact, it is a smooth introduction and teasing. I like the line about a window. It added to the scene, but also showed his own interests in her.
And when the story gets to the latex bit, it is exquisite. Just the details, though rushed, of stripping down and slipping it own. It was a very enjoyable ending to a short little story.
The biggest complaint is… it's too short for me. Short in two ways. There is so much details with the initial gloves scene, that I was hoping for a corresponding amount during the final dressing. It felt rushed to me, leaving a lot to my poor imagination instead of giving me more details. But, I also like to know every little thing.
The other is the shortness of the story. Yeah, it was obvious from the estimated page count, but there is something about buying a short story and getting to the end desperately craving that it continued. It is the talent of the author that makes me want more to this story, which makes the shortness more pronounced.
