else, so it's okay."
"Love you, baby," Damian mumbled. He fell asleep, in the
comfort of Nick's arms.

Nick lay awake, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes
and rolling into his hair. He had never felt this happy in his
life.
"You are mine," he whispered, and kissed Damian's cheek.
Damian sighed in his sleep and wrapped his arm snugly
around Nick's waist.

Six months later
Nick slammed the door open and raced to find Damian,
finally tracking him down in the room they called the library,
mainly because most of the books lived there.
"I got a show!" he cried out, waving a piece of paper
frantically, so that Damian couldn't see it. "In a real gallery!"
The older man looked up with a fond smile. "You've got a
show all to yourself?"
"Of course not, silly," Nick said, landing in Damian's lap
with a leap. "I'm only one of six 'Up and Coming Young
Artists,' but isn't it great?"
"It's wonderful," Damian agreed. "When is this show?" he
asked, trying to capture the piece of paper from his young
lover.
"In six weeks. I'm going to have to work like a fiend," Nick
declared. "Don't I deserve a reward? You said "
"Yes, I did, and you do deserve a reward, my love,"
Damian answered, much amused. "Go get your paddle, and
we'll see what we can do to make this young artist up and
coming."

Nick jumped off his lap and ran up the stairs two at a time.
Damian chuckled at his eagerness and pulled his chair out
from behind his desk.
When Nick reappeared, paddle in hand, Damian said, "All
right, pet. I'm going to take those trousers down and give you
a paddling like you've never had before. I'm going to make
that beautiful bottom so hot and red you won't be sitting on it
for a week."
Nick squeaked with excitement and hurried over to his
lover, handing him the paddle and standing submissively to
his right. Damian's fingers undid his trousers and pushed
them down, leaving him with only his boxers to cover him. He
tipped the boy over his lap and pushed the boxers down to
his knees to join his jeans.
Damian stroked over the pale beautiful globes with the
smooth acrylic paddle. "And now pet, what do you say?"
"Thank you, sir," Nick said. "I love you."
"Love you too, baby."

A Strong Hand
by Catt Ford
Catt Ford lives in front of the computer monitor, in another
world where her imaginary gay friends obey her every
command.
She likes cats, chocolate, swing dancing, sleeping, Monty
Python, Aussie friends, being silly, spinning other realities
with words, and sea glass. She dislikes caterpillars, cigarette
smoke and rude people who think the F-word (as in faggot, or
bundle of sticks) is acceptable.
A frustrated perfectionist, she comforts herself with the
legend about the weavers of Persian rugs always including
one mistake so as not to anger the gods, although she has no
need to include a mistake on purpose. One always slips
through. Writing fiction has filled a need for clever
conversations, only possible when one is in control of both
sides, and erotic romances, where everything turns out
happily ever after, for the most part.
