Damn!!  Now that was an early morning gift!!  The only downer was when I stopped reading to check the clock so I could figure out how long it will be till my husband comes home...AND we have the chance to go here!  But next to him, nobody gives me this kind of smile first thing in the morning!!!  One thing you added here that I swear I've never read anywhere, was the sound and look on HIS face when he was coming.  It was so perfect...and would have been so handy the first time my husband and I made love!  We waited till we were married...both of us...( I must say learning together was an indescribable joy!) and when he finally came for the first time -  Dear Lord, I thought he was having a heart attack!  I look forward to that look and those sounds now...just like Bella!  In case you haven't guessed, MORE please!!

I loved the lemon; it was beautiful and amazing. Can I hope to see a new one? Or are my sister and I going to have to butter you up with lots of reviews?

Please don't make me write another thirty reviews before you post again, or I will be tempted to post thirty bullshit reviews.

Okay, this is my last review. You now have thirty from me and thirty from Tish. If that ain't enough for you to post early, I don't now what is.


A few words of advice:

Be careful of what words you use; like, great, good, pretty, sweet, things, stuff, junk, cute, nice, ugly, mad, sad, and happy - refrain from using them if at all possible. Try to use more descriptive words; tearful, heartfelt, amazing, intringuing, beautiful, treacherous, angry.

Avoid cliches, it takes away from the story.

Try to avoid what other people write. If you read lots of stories, mentally categorize often used lines. If you want to use one, change it so that it sounds different, new. You may just start a new fad, plus everyone will remember you for it.

Take the bad with the good. I've been cussed out because of my stories more time than I care to count. There will be people who think your stories suck royally. If they comment, take it in stride. If they tell you why, use their words as advice in the next story. You might impress them yet.

Don't overuse a word in a paragraph, chapter, or story. I don't know how many people use the word 'then' every other sentence. It sounds bad.

Try to stay away from stating the obvious, sometimes it's neccesary, but most often it isn't needed.

Keep the characters from sounding needy - unless that is their personality trait - and even then, it can drag down a story seriously. Characters, even minor ones, need to have a range of traits and emotions. If they have one emotion, they sound bad in a story.


Trust me, everyone has trouble with that stuff. I have a horrid time with most of it, but I'm getting better all the time (I should be after all the stories I've wrote). You've probably already heard most of them, but it never hurts to be reminded.

And if you ever need help catching cliches and horrid lines, or helping you to discern your style and the era you are basing it off of, I'm only a PM away. (It's my specialty, I have several authors that come to me for that specifically; they don't use me as a beta [though I have several people I beta for as well] they just get my advice in the area that most betas don't notice, or at least choose not to mention on).


It was a very well-wrote chapter, and has been a well-wrote story all along. I look forward to the completion, though I will be tearful to see it go.


Also, one last time, I never intend offense.

 

 



Author's Response:

Thank-you for your detailed feedback, and for the passionate pursuit of an early update!!  :D  You and your sister made us smile, laugh and consider over and over.  We'll be quite sad to see this journey end as well.  We have had so much fun working together as collaborators and not just beta and writer (reciprically).  It's been such fun to put my one of my minors to use at long last through the discovery of FF.

“Oh, God, Bella!  You’re so close, aren’t you?”

I notice a lot of authors write this kind of thing, it sounds redundent after about the twelth or so smutty story you read. Try to write it definitely, so the question is there, but between the lines. It will look better and new; not obvious and so done a thousand times before. It is a working line, but it loses justification when every author uses it.



Author's Response:

Yeah, but I for one was drawing from the experience of someone close to me for this, and I have to admit it gets a visceral reaction from me here.  lol  I do agree with you and can readily see your point.

“Lift up, Bella,” he instructed sliding the arm he was propping himself up on under my shoulders to cradle me to him.

A change of rolls to where she has become the more Dominant. This is realistic; especially in a plain vanilla relationship. Though I don't know if you can really call this that. It is more like a one night stand that could possibly turn into more, if they don't screw it up.

Overall well wrote, and easily relatable.



Author's Response:

Thank-you.  It's really important to both of us to create stories that can be related to easily, or draw a reader in if it is new (my FD).  We both really strive to always create well written work.  :D

“Undress me, Edward, please.  I want you to touch me everywhere.” ... "I want you to show me what you imagined doing to me all this time."

These lines border dangerous territory. They make her sound sort of like a whiner, and that she is extremely needy. They are fairly cliche lines too. They were alright in this story but generally refraim from making a female sound needy, unless she's a spoiled little rich chick or a slut.

for the first sentence it would be best to remove the please (no one wants a begger, espescially after how dominant she had been earlier) This line could be condensed into 'Undress me, Edward, touch me..." Trailing off so the please is silent in the air, still obvious, but unheard. And it no longer sounds needy.

Trailing off for the second line would make it sound better, or instead saying 'show me what you dreamed of' would work.

Once again, no offense intended.

I needed more.  I had waited years to feel this, and I wanted more -- now.

Once again it is clear of her complete innocence. If she has never experienced the touch of a man that can rival the one she is currently with; she is innocent.



Author's Response:

I had done a lot of messing around before I was with someone who made me tingle, let me tell you, there's a HUGE difference.  There is nothing that can compare to physical attraction paired with emotional attachement.  It's like you haven't really done anything before.  Or at least it was for me.  I'm odd in other ways, perhaps it's just me again. :D

Thanks for helping me see what made the translation (or didn't)!!

Unbidden, my body spasmed, reacting in a way I never knew was possible.  He moaned, and I twitched again.

Here it is clear that she hasn't fooled around. A female that has fooled around, would have felt this situation. The difference between parts in this story confuse me. At times it seems like she has had experience (and that she isn't really a virgin) then there are points like this where it is very clear that this will be her first time.



Author's Response:

Thank-you for that perspective.  We had envisioned that she had perhaps fooled around, but only shirt off explorations, and never with anyone she was terribly physically attracted to.  She had stayed very intellectual/clinical in the past.  Again, a bit of personal experience from us.  It's important to know what makes the translation to the reader.

Appreciate you reading and responding!!

Certain my heart was about to pound out of my chest, I sank slowly down onto the edge of the bed and scooted back toward the center.  As though he was tied to me with a chain, Edward followed to settle on his side next to me kicking off his shoes and socks as he went.  His eyes followed his hands as they roamed the smooth expanse of my abdomen neatly framed by black satin panties and matching bra.  His breathing matched my own as he leaned in to place a long lingering kiss just above my navel.

This is realistic and possible. A reader can relate easily. Men are attracted to women (well with the exception of gays) and the will always follow a woman who takes the lead. A lot people believe a man won't submit to a woman, but I know better (a lot better)



Author's Response:

Why, thank-you.  And yeah, no one, male or female should say, "I would never," because when it comes to sex, it's amazingly easy for all bets to be off.  Others I know who participate in BDSM have said the same thing (this person was male saying it about women who don't think they would/could ever be turned on by certain things).

I particularly liked this moment as well.  :D

I took a half step back, and looked him in the eye as I shrugged the slight sleeves off my shoulders allowing the dress to pool around me on the floor.  His breath caught briefly before he quit breathing all together as his eyes widened slightly, yet remained glued to my own.  It was as if he were to look at my half-naked form, it would be his undoing.

I have a hard time believing this. I've spent time with many different men, and even the most honorable men would have a hard time not looking (at least to have a peek). It's well-wrote but it sounds very unlikely.

I don't intend offense.

Again wanting more I leaned back, drinking him in with my eyes.

Once again I have to wonder if she wouldn't be too far gone to give a shit already? Usually once your lost in feeling, in the kiss, in everything. Looking at the man is usually the last thing in a person's man by then.

I’d always wondered if a man’s nipples were as responsive as a woman’s.  To find out, I gently swept my fingertips across their peaked texture.  I delighted inside when they suddenly contracted into sharp points and Edward gasped a small breath in; the instantaneous response making me feel sexy and powerful.  Leaning in, I placed my lips against his chest just below the base of his neck then turned to lay my head against his shoulder, tipping my head back to breathe in his glorious rich scent.

Once again, this is quite realistic and I can imagine it. It is great when I can see it.

Oh, God.

Mentle babble, it works for this story. I notice a lot of stories like to add mentle babble, but generally it cuts from the story. It makes a reader go 'What the fuck?' And then they have to re-read that section so they can understand what just happened (usually several times). Always make sure mentle babble adds to the story, and doesn't destroy it.

Like I said, it works here.

I'd imagined this so many times!

This on the other hand works, it shows the extent of her desire for him. This is something that readers sink into.

I never intend offense.

I can definitely see your point.  As I read this the tune and lyrics, "hurts so good..." started running through my head!  I guess I envision this sound as a more visceral and priimal, bursting from the chest, pleasure sound.

I allowed my hands to slide to the hem of his undershirt, dragging it up, my eyes never leaving his in our slow dance of discovery.  He courteously lifted his arms allowing me to pull the stretched material over his head and drop it at our sides, his eyes blazing green with passion.

“Off,” I ordered softly into his ear.

I can see this in my mind, (But what the fuck am I talking about, I used to be a Dom). It correlates well with this swich off a good portion of this chapter seems to be. She wants to make things move a long, yet she wants his guidance and his assurance that he actually wants to continue.

Emboldened, I slipped off his bowtie and began unbuttoning his shirt, amazed at my ability to multi-task both lips and fingers.

I'm a little worried here, this certainly makes it sound like she isn't a virgin. As a general rule, the first time is ackward, slow, and insecure. This is moving along rather rapidly, and there's something about the steadiness and rapid movement that occurs. It makes it sound like she's had experience in this are. Very few (if any) women know what to do their first time. And she clearly knows what she is doing. This was wrote by you guys, and I bet neither of you are virgins. (The next time you write a 'first lemon' scene, try to go back in your ming to your first time) Make it realistic, people will relate to it more.

Once again no offense intended.



Author's Response:

We did try to go back to our first times, but it's been half our lifetimes, so can be a little fuzzy with the details.  :D

We never said Bella had any physical experience, just that she was still a virgin.  And this is a moment that was taken from my RL.

Once again sensing I would have to move things along, I slid my hands under his jacket, before following the curve of his ribs up to his shoulders to slip the jacket off and allow it to fall to the floor behind him. 

Once again, this is realistic. We can see it, feel it, actually touch it. Because we have probably been to that point in life. She needs more from him so she takes the steps to make it happen. This kind of stuff happens in the real world, so we can relate to it and as a result, it draws us in.

We floated closer to the bed

It's nicely worded. But if you are aiming for a more realistic approach it would be better to say, 'we practically floated', 'we lightly stepped', or 'we danced'. Most of your story aims toward realistic yet there are moments like this where it is worded in the fanatical realm. You always have to be careful of that.

Nonetheless it was well wrote.

 



Author's Response:

These touches of fantasy were intended.  Him swooping in and saving her is a fantastical thing.  In reality "quiveringaro" would have won her, she would have very realistically risked being brutally violated, or worse.  So as much as we were trying for realism, there are continuing themes of fantasy. 

I have experienced the tingles of pure physical attraction, and they were intense, so we decided the "soul mates" connection had to be demonstrably stronger.  We strove to make it a well written blend of realism and fantasy first time.

“I didn’t dare to hope…”

How you trailed off is great; never finish a sentence that starts this way. It is a death sentence. You finish this sentence, no matter how you end it, it will sound like a bad hookup line. Trailing off is the only way for those word. It leaves the reader wondering what he was going to say without having them thinking he just wants to get into her panties.

I do not intend offense with my comments.

His arms rose up, seemingly of their own volition, to embrace me firmly.  It felt like home – safe, secure, an invitation to be completely open. 

Though bracing fanatical, there is a devine reality to this line. It is well-wrote. And it has that ideal dream most females have about men, but there is also that taste of reality. It's good and it works.

(Okay this is for me more than you. I am ending for now, and since my sister and I each agreed to do thirty,  I have eighteen more to do.)

“I want to be yours, Edward.  You have won my heart,”

Even though it is a slightly cliche line, it works. There's desire in this line; she's telling him what she want, desires, and needs. But this line will sometimes defeat the chapter, destroy it, be careful of how it is used or it just sounds like a bad a hookup line.

Again, I never intend offense (and if I do, I will say such).

I led him into the bedroom.  It was full of candles of all types: pillars, candelabras, and tea lights floating in crystal bowls of water dotted with fragrant rose petals.  

The bed had been turned down all the way to the foot in our absence.  I released his hand as we arrived at the bed.  He watched me with rapt attention as I took up the long slender lighter and lit each candle before switching off the harsh lighting of the lamp.  Crossing the room, I came to stand before him again.  The flickering warm light of the candles was reflected in his beautiful eyes, and I was overcome with want and need.

This braces fanatical, but it is still realistic. Too much romantic 'stuff' in a room and it falls over the edge though. And be careful rose petals, while romantic, are cliche to an extreme, especially in writing. It is better to say 'the smell of roses filled the air'

I took his hand, “Come.”

This is a great lead to a dom/sub segment, or a BDSM segment. If you ever write a BDSM story, use this line fairly often. It workes great for the start of chapters, the start of a new section in a chapter, or even as the last line of a chapter (if you want a cliffy that is). It was interesting to see it used in this story.

 Having divined the depth of his chivalrous character, I suspected I would need to make the next step. 

Careful, he isn't a god, and all human men have a devil in them. This is the ideal a lot of women have about men, that they are perfect angels. But this isn't the case. Once again this definitely aims more toward fanatical than reality. It is well-wrote, just doesn't sit right with most of the story, which seems more realistic.

Panting, we finally pulled apart, eyes opening to seek the other's gaze; finding passion, lust and burgeoning love written joyously in our eyes.  My only fear now was not being able to hold a candle to the Bella featured in his dreams.    

Another well-wrote segment, this hints at real life, at something actual. Something a reader can compare to and feel, because they have probably been there. The only question I must ask is that because this turned into a breath-taking kiss, wouldn't she be to far gone to care if she held a match to his fantasy Bella (at least for that moment in time)?

Our lips clung more firming, our breath mingling as we began gloriously exploring and tasting each others’ succulent lips. 

This is a well-wrote description of two perfectly matched sets of lips. You should reuse it in other stories. It describes it well without any overdescription. It catches a reader's eyes, but it doesn't demand them to swallow a mouthful from one kiss. Simple yet strong.

My pulse quickened as his hand cupped its warmth against my cheek.  Tipping my face up, his lips approached agonizingly slowly, before finally making featherlike contact with mine.  


We both let out a gasp at the resulting bolt of desire that ripped through our bodies


While this is extremely well wrote, and I mean that. This also sounds very fanatical, and sort of juevinile. Most basic kisses don't result in some catacalismic sensation. There might be a soft gasp and a slight tingle, but thatwould most likely be it. Now if you are going for fanatical than this is perfect. But if you are going for a more realistic approach, then this is slightly farfetched.


Once again, no offense intended.

Let me start from the beginning, I analyze too, but not like my sis. But before I begin anything that I say that sounds offensive is not meant to offend you just to point it out. I have always loved poetry, fiction, and fantasy so I have spent a lot of time learning words and phrases that are too often used. So on the things that I say that sound negative it is merely meant to point out something you may want to refraim from doing in the future. They are suggestions, not requesents. Mere things that I have noticed.

The start of your second line begins As Shakespeare wrote. These words are fairly cliche and are used way to often. Generally these words are supposed to sound romantic but they come across as 'I want to sound smart so I impress you that way we can have a quick fuck and then I'm gone'. It actually works in the context you put it in, but generally it is best to stay away from those words. Instead saying 'a great playwright once wrote' or 'a wise man once wrote' looks less cliche, or just stating the meat with no preamble is probably the best.

Pleasure ricocheted through me, my hips bucking and spasming wildly.  My hands moved to clutch at his back and shoulder as my body strained toward a new and unfamiliar goal. 

“Oh, God, Bella!  You’re so close, aren’t you?”

His hoarse, tense voice pushed me over the edge, and I exploded.  My legs clamped together on his hand as my bottom arched off the bed, my chest constricted with pulsating steel bands of pleasure, locking my cries in my throat.  My mouth stretched in a rictus of pleasure, every muscle tensed to the fullest, twitching rhythmically.  As I returned to myself and drew a deep shuddering breath I grabbed Edward’s wrist to still him.

My eyes opened, and I looked at him stunned and panting, aftershocks occasionally shooting through me.

“That was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, Bella."

Her heart gives into passion, her body folds under desire. She needs this; she has to have this. He gives her wan; release. The sweet blissful feeling. He watches her intensely while she experiences the sensations that course through the mindset of her body. He his even more lustrous from the mere sight of what he sees. Yet some part of him has reeled in and he is once again a gentlemen. He wants her to have the choice to say no; to end it there. Even though he not only wants, but needs more.

You'd be in agreement with them when she asks them to choose; she will give them a choice of physical or psych (of course that's really the start of the psych) trust me, no one chooses physical. And by the end they will wish that they had chosen physical. (My sister doesn't have a second major in psycology for nothing)

Arching up, I let his hands reach under me to unclasp my bra, which after some fumbling he managed to do.  He grasped the shoulder straps and gently pulled them down my arms before dropping the bra blindly behind him. 

 I felt suddenly exposed under his intense gaze, and my first instinct was to cover my nakedness with my arms.  But his eyes were so full of reverence that I laid my shaking arms at my side allowing him to take in his fill.  

Moments of passion, desire, lust, need; may they not be regretted in the morning. There's a point in our life where we must have something. She needs what is coming in the near future, yet anxiety strikes. Her subconcious mind asks her what she is unwilling to ask openly. Is she really ready? Is this what she really wants? Can she ask for more? Is this the best she can do? Hee heart says no, but part of her wonders. Yet when she sees his look, his eyes; the desire in them. She knows, she can't get better than that.

Certain my heart was about to pound out of my chest, I sank slowly down onto the edge of the bed and scooted back toward the center.  As though he was tied to me with a chain, Edward followed to settle on his side next to me kicking off his shoes and socks as he went.  His eyes followed his hands as they roamed the smooth expanse of my abdomen neatly framed by black satin panties and matching bra.  His breathing matched my own as he leaned in to place a long lingering kiss just above my navel.

In many he is connected to a chain, a chain of desire. He's beginning to forget his instincts to be a proper gentleman, and instead following his heart, his desire, his need. He can't help it, lust consumes him, demanding more of him, he has to follow.

My chest felt like it was a heaving bellows, as I reached out to unfasten his belt, and free the clasp and zipper of his tux pants. They instantly fell into a matching pool of black around his ankles.

She is an extreme amount of lust and passion (This is one those things you really hope you won't wake up and regret in the morning). She recognizes some minor details yet at the same time she seems to fail to notice other things; like an erection. Boxers/briefs don't hide it very well. There is no way that isn't already hard, he has to be in as much passionate lust as her.

I took a half step back, and looked him in the eye as I shrugged the slight sleeves off my shoulders allowing the dress to pool around me on the floor.  His breath caught briefly before he quit breathing all together as his eyes widened slightly, yet remained glued to my own.  It was as if he were to look at my half-naked form, it would be his undoing.

She needs to see more of him, feel more of him. She takes the step back and releases herself from the dress. She seeks his approval about how she looks naked yet at the same time she is nervous. He too, is nervous. He wants to look at her, see her, even stare at her, yet he can't/won't. He is still a gentleman and he know that if he looks then he will forget to be a gentleman at all. He desires her, but he doesn't want to scare her, he can't imagine frightening her. And he knows he will want to do everything imaginable to her if he looks (Because he already does want to do that) and that he won't be able to stop.

His hands slowly descended from my shoulders along the outsides of my arms and around to my back while his lips descended along my jaw, past my ear and down to my collarbone.  I felt him take a deep breath in before his nimble fingers grasped the zipper on the back of my dress to oh so slowly pull it down.  When it was all the way down he paused, I assumed to give me a moment to protest if I had changed my mind. I hadn’t.

Romance, love, lust, need, desire, want. He responds to her eyes, her physical body pleading. Yet he pauses knowing what he wants, and knowing what he sees that she wants. Yet he can't stop his instincts; being the proper gentleman that he is, he's been taught that a woman has the right to refuse. He must give her a good chance to refuse. He can't take before he knows beyond all shadows of a doubt. Yet part of her wants him to stop being nothing but a gentleman, all female like at least partly a bad boy.

Now for more analysis

Lifting his hands from my shoulders at last, he gently caressed  my face and neck, touching the lobe of my ear, the curve of my jaw, brushing against the errant curls cascading from atop my head, his eyes taking me in before moving in for another sweet, searing kiss.  My hands were cradled in the small of his back, running a short course up and down his skin before pulling him firmly against me and sliding my hands down along the outside of his thighs, stopping to grip the fabric just above his knees.

desire, lust, need, want, sweet romance.  A blush has spread across her cheeks; she tingles from the mere sensation of his touch. She feels and wants it, she needs it, desires it. Her body is vibrating from the want of more. She won't ask with her mouth, no it comes from her pleading eyes, which promise her surrender to him, as well as her desire to have more.

Romantic, subtle, beautiful, amazing, lustrous. This describtion gives way to great though; not just to you, the writer. But to the character as well - Edward.

“I want to be yours, Edward.  You have won my heart,” I admitted in a soft voice, knowing desire and anticipation were written large in my eyes, for once grateful that my every thought always showed on my face.

I want this, I desire this, I need this, I am yours. This is romantic, intense, sweet, and passionate. I can taste it and imagine it. Her hands are probably touching him in an unconcious gesture at this moment, and her eyes; more than desirous - they're pleading. They want him to know. Her soft voice probably has the start of lust in it.

Emotion strikes; passion, desire, want, lust, need. A woman's body is fine tuned instrument (Well a man's too, but I'm not even touching that topic). We need and want specific things, and desire being touched very specifically; while not every female is the same it is something all females share.

I had never seen one, live and in person before, and found myself fascinated by the textures and veins, the almost shiny quality to the skin of the shaft as it strained up toward us and the more velvety texture of the tip.  I had never expected the leaking fluid pooling at the slightly gaping opening to call to me, begging to be treasured.  I stared fascinated as my hand slid over the coarseness of his thigh before lightly exploring the pouch at his base and stroking up to the tip.  He shuddered and groaned as I touched the tip, dipping my finger into the gentle stream of flowing moisture.  One day I wanted to taste it with the tip of my tongue, a desire I would have found shocking before today.

Curiosity, desire, want, intrigue, interest, need. The male body; a fascination of females. Yet in this case her reaction is most likely caused because she loves him specifically. If it was just any guy, she might consider it ugly or un-noteworthy or not regard it whatsoever; it's hard to tell.

24 to go.



Author's Response:

I would think her reaction would be tempered if she were less than ready, and with a partner she was less than wholly attracted to.  She'd likely be more analytical if it was just some guy who was "close enough".  If a person not mature enough to not be grossed out by genetalia, I'd say they're not ready to be up close and personal with said genetalia!!  :D

Enjoying the ananlysis!

Having divined the depth of his chivalrous character, I suspected I would need to make the next step.  


I took his hand, “Come.”


From romantic to needy, desirous to lustful. The heart knows what it wants, and it will take it. Very few humans or otherwise won't go to the extreme of becoming dominant in a moment of passion to take it to the next extreme. (At least that's what Jade has told me. Of course she's one to talk with her having a past in BDSM and all)

We all have an inner dom and an inner sub, the trick is giving ourselves permission to be comfortable letting them out!  ;D

Edward lifted his hand and lightly ran the back of his index finger down the slope of my cheek.  

“As Shakespeare wrote, ‘Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.’  This is so much better than a dream,” he murmured after a moment, the wonder in his eyes igniting joyous hope in my own. 

My pulse quickened as his hand cupped its warmth against my cheek.  Tipping my face up, his lips approached agonizingly slowly, before finally making featherlike contact with mine.  

We both let out a gasp at the resulting bolt of desire that ripped through our bodies -- it actually made my toes curl.  Unwilling to release the contact, my arms wrapped around Edward’s waist and fisted into his tux jacket.  Our lips clung more firming, our breath mingling as we began gloriously exploring and tasting each others’ succulent lips. 

The beginning is always the best part to a chapter; it is what draws the reader in, what creates the allure. And it is clear in this chapter that Bella is falling straight into Edward; she loves him with her whole heart. And as general, humans (females especially) enjoy romance (almost as much as good smut)

27 to go *Madman grin in place*



Author's Response:

LOL  Yeah, almost as much.  teehee

Thanks!

Hmm... I'd swear my brother is too "f-ing sexy" (as he refers to it) to be gay but he is. (Oh and he has read more than his share of 'emo porn' and seen more)

There's a picture of him on there http://www.blogger.com/profile/15823982657792518257 And his story is on his blog A Darker Twilight; if you go on and read the first chapter of his story and like maybe you could leave a comment to help convince him to join TWCS

A picture of me can be found http://www.blogger.com/profile/03754066498576098599 My blog is obviously Jadiona, basically it has all my stories and such

And a picture of Tish can be found http://www.blogger.com/profile/12354119181317819069 Her blog is Poetic Twilight

Other than that I love how romantic this chapter was. hmmm... I'm beating my sister to reviewing, that's interesting

3 down... 27 to go



Author's Response:

Thanks!

hmmm... maybe you missed my sister mentioning that Jacque was gay (and trust me he's done a lot more fooling around than that - I ought to know, as he lives me now... Our parents are hard-core catholic and didn't take it very well AT ALL when he came out. In matter of fact they pretty much kicked him out, so now he lives with me and ninety percent of time it seems like his boyfriend does to)

Okay I love that Bella seemed to have become a Dom in many ways in this chapter, it was interesting it reminds me of me.



Author's Response:

Yup, missed that part! lol  Ugh on the parents' response.  A good friend from when my sis and I were little (in a small town) tried to kill herself because of the response of her parents when she came out.  They then forbid her to come home from the hospital.  I have some choice words for them on that one as well!!  My Dad found out, and so she became my foster sister long enough to finish HS. We were living in the city by then.  I was great to see her bloom away from their judgemental behavior.  Good on you for being an awesome sister!!  Hugs to you both!!  If my son (who is far too beautiful for being a boy, lol) is gay, I just want him to be afforded the same positive self view as if he were hetero.  I'm flattered he likes my lemon. :D (As I remain playing ostrich on his age, lol).   At least my lemons are tender and not the emo-unavailable of true porn.

Yeah, this Bella is a bit more of me than my typical.  I'm very reserved most of the time, but get the hormones going (esp if the guy is too much a gentleman and so tentative) and I'm much more direct!  Glad you like her!  Thanks for the R&R!  :D

Soooo.... As my sister mentioned - How bout two? My sister and I could each review twenty times and that will get you well over fifty reviews

Want it to be thirty each we can do that too... Trust me I've got a lot of areas that I can analyze in this chapter... so what do you say? Be warned MY SISTER AND I WILL START THE BERATING MONDAY (unless I decide to do mine sooner (hehe)

For now however I hate the damn cliffy... And not enough happened to require a cold shower of me. Damn even I've gone that far, and at the rate you guys update I'm going to beat the story to the punch line.

Please, please, please post the next chapter soon *Puppy dog eyes now showing*

(*Manic eyes not far behind* - thirty reviews... here I come)



Author's Response:

LOL at you guys!  :D  As they say, two is most definitely better than one! *chuckles*

Yeah, I know, we've beaten the cliffie horse to death.  But in our defense it's not something we do basically at all in any of our other fics and we wanted to try it on for size.  I have to agree with other authors, it's very empowering.  As a reader, yeah it sucks patootie!  lol   But like good sex, longing makes the finish MORE...  *chesire cat grin*

Yes, but BELLA hadn't gone that far. It was quite the milestone for both of them.  And sets up who E is sexually here.  If a guy can't get you off first, and then warm you back up for round two (as needed) then I don't think he's worth the full deal. In hind sight no sex is way better than sex that leaves you wondering where the f the main event went.  lol

And yes, I can see the manic eyes approaching, even from here!

Thanks, bb!

Okay, once again, I hate the cliffies; I swear you two have only one capability. Soooo.... You won't settle for one reviewer; how about two? I'd say three but Jacque (being only sixteen) is too young to (technically) read this story. It doesn't stop him; I wouldn't let it. He just uses my site or my sister's to read this stuff. In matter of fact he says "Get that next flipping chapter out".

So how would Tish and I both reviewing do. I swear we can get you to fifty. Or did you not notice Tish's uber annoyingness (especially since I have coerced her into helping)



Author's Response:

LOL  I certainly noticed Tish's tenacity. LOL   There's nothing stoping ya'all.  We just said ONE person! ;D  She was great! Even her "throw away" reviews were good for a giggle.  As for Jacque, the mom in me will just pretend not to have heard, and the teen part of me will just tell him to take notes for the benefit of some lucky girl someday! lol

If you've read any of our other stories you'll see that TA and I basically NEVER do cliffies, and so with this one we decided to play a bit.  We've noticed that controversy and anticipation tend to bring out the responses.  Since neither of us are particularly fond of controversy, we went with short chaps (all right, we've even come to the conclusion these were too short) and build up was worth a try this once since we couldn't draw it out more as it was written as a long oneshot for an auction win.  Sorry to inadvertantly torture you, but thanks for making our posting this story so much fun!!!  *smooches*  RB
