Very nice story line. I was disappointed that the rigging was poorly described and not very well detailed - what a missed opportunity.
Kel and Mallory's relationship did a drastic flip from friendly roommates to full BDSM sexual relationship triggered by his jealousy of another rigger. It was so jarring it came across as unbelievable and insincere. There hadn't been any buildup between the two up to that point.
Mallory was a doormat with her uncle and with a lot of her friend's manipulations. She was very passive in cooperating with Kel's kink. Her analogy was that if he asked her to, she would smuggle Junior Mints in her purse into the movie theater. Mallory wasn't turned on by Kel's cutting like she was his rope bondage. So this, combined with the lack of sexual tension between the two, made the chemistry in their sex scenes pretty non reactive.
Things that were bothersome: Why did everyone, except for Mallory, know about Kel's kink for knives and needles? Also, why did Kel have double standards and not have any body piercings of his own?
