Ross Evans is a sub who wants to do whatever it takes to please his Dom, Harry.  Before Harry can claim him properly, Ross has to get over his shaky nerves and old fears. Can Harry get Ross into the subspace he needs to be in so he can claim him? 

Touching Wood by Kim Dare is a short, but emotionally charged moment in the lives of Ross and Harry. The idea of touching wood for good luck seems to be Ross’s comfort. At first, Ross appears willing to be in this scene, and in his heart he is, but his mind is another thing all together.   

Harry has a tough job ahead of him but he is more than Dominant enough to carry it off. I liked how Ms. Dare brought the emotional heat as well as the hot sex scenes; it really makes the emotional connection of Dom and sub in this story stand out and made it shine.
