However, he may be in serious trouble once he discovers the ominous identity, and it's not because of the light bondage the groper seems to prefer.

HOT HANDS is my first story by Erica Pike but it certainly won't be the last. It's only a few pages long, but she still managed to strung me out emotionally, make me grin with satisfaction and forced me to scroll down frantically when I reached that last page.

Casper has been having a problem only he's not quite sure if it's even a problem. Someone has been groping him, in lines, before class. What started as casual touches turned into full out ass grips and, while curious, Casper wants more. But the identity of his groper remains a secret and Casper is willing to indulge as long as he can get those hot hands on him.

This story deals with a serious issue of high school bullying and forgiveness. While mostly light, hot and entertaining, Casper has been through his share of trouble and the author makes you feel it.

I honestly liked all aspects of this story, from the characters to light touches and emotional dialogues. I was happy, sad and satisfied while reading this short story and I don't think any others I've read quite live up to that ‘short and sweet' line. I love it when I'm pleasantly surprised.
