Thanks! When I started this, I definitely didn't foresee it becoming a series, but I've liked exploring how they navigate this relationship as it goes along. And I'm certainly glad you got so much enjoyment from this. ;o)

Yeah, I waffled on whether to include the disclaimer because I don't want to patronize anybody, but on the other hand, with the risks involved... yeah. I don't THINK anybody would be all "Hey, this sounds fun, let me go shove needles in my partner!" but it felt like the responsible thing to do.

And OUCH. Lube. Always lube.
