You know, I find it easier to get inside Bodie's head (which is no doubt obvious, as all four of my posted stories are from his POV), but I kind of like writing Ray's scorching tongue and trying to balance that with some unexpected gentleness from him, particularly towards Bodie. The yin/yang of it is appealing.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and thanks again for your CRAZY, WONDERFUL help with it. I don't know that I've ever had a beta turn around a story in less than fifteen minutes. :-)

Happy New Year, sweetie.
