Demon Who Peddled Longing by Khanh Ha Excerpt
“While the horses lapped water, he saw her walking toward the bonfire where the little master was standing near its rim, silhouetted against the bright orange-red fire. Then a few feet from him she stopped. The boy-man turned sideways when he heard his name called. The firelight shone on his genitals which he held in both hands and his trousers were down around his thighs. The fire popped and flames spurted. His body convulsed with the turbulence of the fire. Standing in one place, she watched him work his genitals until he bent forward to spend himself into the fire.
