Sex-Fiend,
All three of these are great!
I most related to the longing for intimate connection in Intoxicated. I think you may have helped me to understand some of the things my wife says on occasion.
I must confess that the second one The Grip may have gotten past me. I'll have to read it a few more times. (I warned you...I can be kinda dense).
Now the third one, inspired...inspiring...and damn near intimidating!
Great Stuff Sexy!!
