It's just too much. You know I was this close to asking for a sequel after reading “The Wish” and look at what I found. This is perfect. You have this amazing talent for blending just the right amount of darkness in your fiction and it draws me in like nothing else. There was that moment when I thought everything was shot to hell when Chloe walked in on Lex and the hooker and I had to stop and take a breath before I kept reading. I actually wasn’t able to contain my groan. Wow!
You have the banter down pat. You know you’re reading a good fic when at the end of the first chapter someone asks about the lack of panties. So funny. But I have to say that the best part for me was Marshall. What a cool guy. First with that husband line when Chloe was all doped up and then when he was telling Lex where Chloe went. Absolutely priceless! I can totally picture the stoic butler standing there while being interrogated by Lex. Needless to say, I read that part several times before moving on.
In addition I really like your sex scenes. Setting aside the fact that they were really hot I like that there is an emotional connection present in additional to the physical. I also like that that emotional presence is not always happy flowers in the sunshine. You stay realistic and didn’t let things get unnecessarily mushy.
The story flowed beautifully and the pace was perfect. I never felt rushed and I never had to make any strange leaps in my mind to keep up. Good job there.
Overall, I love this fic and am so grateful you wrote it. Keep on writing. We appreciate it.
