WOW. WOW. WOW. I can't even imagine how you mangaed to write this. But it was WONDERFUL! I certainly loved it :D Now Nanao is an equal :P

Thanks! It was really hard to write. ^_^;; Writing any sort of sexy action is very challenging to me and takes forever.

The power dynamic of their relationship is something I wanted to explore in this story. Hopefully the development of that is interesting to people.

First some sexiness, then some sweetness! I love the way you balance chapters :)

And power dynamics are (IMO) very, very interesting :D

I think the majority of the sexiness is now posted; there's a few other bits, but nothing as involved as this chapter. Oddly, I feel embarrassed when I post something like that, it's strange! So I'm relieved it's posted. ^_^

The exploration of their power dynamics continues through the whole story, I think.

I always admire an author who can write sex in a way that is not only sexy, but actually relevant to the story, which is what you've managed here. Too much sex wouldn't feel balanced in this story, I think - because while sex is an important part of their relationship, it's not the whole part, or even the main part. I think you've done a great job with it ^_^

Thanks! I've tried to write plot-relevant sex, as odd as that sounds, so I do hope it reads like that.
