I love these brief glimpses into the lives of my favorite characters from the Hammer series, and this story features two favorite couples of mine: Jim and Marcus as well as Montana and Billy. They meet for dinner and the Masters intend to have them play together – which would have been totally hot, I am sure - but guess what? They get very absorbed in their individual couple play, no wonder with two large plugs already "tormenting" the two subs nicely, and suddenly the planned evening veers into a different direction.

Marcus surprises Jim with his plan to go to the Hammer for dinner to meet their friends. As usual, Jim is a little more hesitant about doing anything away from home, especially since he is wearing a big plug. But, also as usual, Marcus insists, and Jim gets even hotter because his Master will not let him get away with hiding. Once at the club, the banter with Montana and Billy is great, but while the Masters may have had something else in mind, neither of them can keep their hands off their subs.

Montana and Billy are already at the restaurant, but they are having fun as well. Montana likes to push, to provoke his master into punishing him, and that is exactly what he does in this situation. While he clearly adores Jim and vice versa, he also adores his Master Billy even more. And, in typical Montana fashion, he pushes Billy until he gets exactly what he wants.

Written in alternating points of view, I loved getting to see both subs' and both Masters' perspectives and why each of them enjoyed what they were doing so much. If you like the Hammer series and these four characters, if you enjoy a bit of public (or almost public) play, and if you're looking for a super-hot read about two super hot-for-each-other men, then you will probably enjoy this short story.
