This week's snippet comes from my new .99 cent ebook,The Ranking. Be warned, it's M/M erotica w/o a happily ever after. But Duffy's story needs to be told.
“Do you know why the ranking is so important in our culture?”
Stattend’s hands trembled as he reached for his belt buckle. “For power and protection, and to know where one fits in society.”
Duffy shook his head and watched through lowered lids as Stattend coated himself with the ceremonial oil. “That’s only why the results of the ceremony are important. But the first time is to teach men what it’s like to be women, to receive another within your own body, to know what it feels like to be at the mercy of one who could harm you."
