*FLAILS TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT*

:O

*bows to the epicness of the extended badassery that is AMAHIZZLE*

Thank you - I'm glad it was extended goodness and not redundancy - I hesitated to post it because I didn't want to seem that I was recycling. This was in fact, the piece as I wrote it, I trimmed it down a little beforehand. Glad to know that the original was actually good :).

As always, thanks for the comments.

[synergyfox]

*FLAILS* It was like a whole different story!

[greatshow]

I think I like this version better. No, I know I do. It explains a lot and wasn't too redundant at all. Glad you decided to post it so soon after our brief talk, and that I was pleasantly surprised.

One thing I noticed that is humorously different in this version is this line: “I've never been caressed with a mouth before...”

In the edited version, it actually says more, LOL. That Lord Rahl would never let her be taken that way.

Anyway, thanks again for the good read.

[aerows]

You caught me with my editing!

I would combine them, but they are already out there, and perhaps have different flavors. I like that you picked up on the different tones.

[chickinwhite]

Yes, it was a good idea to give the original version...I am always caught by deeper emotions. And here is no word tooo much... :)
... - another MaiTai then?... :)

[aerows]

Indeed my friend. There aren't enough MaiTai's consumed in this world. Letting ourselves go, and enjoying the moment.

[morrowfest]

Hm...I like both, but I think I like the shorter (edited) version better. [Now you have 2 different opinions, mine & #greatshow's.) :)

Part of what I preferred in this extended cut was the further interaction/dialogue between Cara & Kahlan, intimacy-wise, afterward.

But, like #greatshow wrote, some aspects of the Lord Rahl part weren't in this version, in the aftermath, and I missed it.

[More observations & opinions of preference...I'd be happy to share; PM.]

P.S. I really like opportunities to see a writer's before/after editing decisions & changes. It's just a neat opportunity to see what decisions were made, and mentally categorize the kinds of changes & guess at the 'why's. Thank you! :)

[aerows]

LOL thank you for the feedback. And you are right - it's a matter of what gets show and what gets on the chopping block. Glad it was good.

Thththththat...holy...oh dear...UNF!!! Me-OW, girl! That was HOT!!! *suddenly thinks she hears a Kings of Leon song playing in the background, but shakes her head - nah...*

[aerows]

It would have to be "Sex on Fire". LOL.

[aerows]

By the way - I *adore* that song, and if it wasn't playing in the background, it should be.

[green78]

I'm not a huge fan of the song, but I can so totally see Cara and Kahlan making hard raucous love to it. You could so totally slip lines of the song in between paragraphs here AND IT WOULD WORK. xD
