Wow, you finally updated this wonderfully dark fic. Hopefully it won\'t take so long to psych yourself up for the next chapter.
p.s. Thanks for updating Adamo Fidelitas also. I\'m a seriously happy camper right now. :)

AWESOME! YOU\'VE UPDATED! Yikes! This chapter bot both enticing and erotic all at once! I thought this was a one-shot fic at first. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was more to the story. :) It was disturbingly erotic in all of its aspects. I love it when Draco forces Hermione to abandon her inhibitions and let go and subject herself to pleasure, even in its more brutal forms. Excellent work! ;) Please update soon.

First, I would like it noted that this is not a flame, simply an expression of opinion. It should also be noted that I have quite enjoyed this author\'s work in the past (and, hopefully, will continue to do so in the future) and have no objection to stories containing BDSM (as anyone who has read my own works would know) or the real life expression thereof (being quite knowledgeable about, and experienced in, The Lifestyle, as many are wont to call it).

I do, however, have a problem with this story and will not read further installments. Though very well written, it does not work for me as a character study (there is no real motivation shown or emotional study provided for anything the characters have done except, perhaps, Hermione\'s minor efforts at rebellion; there was certainly no emotional insight given into their sexual interactions, beyond the exercise of power in nonconsensual sex), or as erotica (I am not aroused by acts of rape, no matter if pleasure is given as well as received; it is still an act of violence), or as a study of a BDSM relationship (the point of which is power exchange, not taking. Hermione discovering some masochistic tendencies might have been interesting in that context, but not when she is effectively being systematically abused by a kidnapper). The story did not work for me because, at the end of the chapters, I did not feel I had learned anything about the characters, seen them grow in any way or even enjoyed myself vicariously through their experiences; I simply \'watched\' while one abused tortured the other in the most intimate of ways for his own selfish pleasure, never understanding WHY, and was not left wanting to know more about them or what would happen next.

All reviews needn\'t be good, but they should be thoughtful and honest. Hopefully, I have adequately expressed why I felt this story was lacking and given the author something to think about!

OOHH I loved it! I hope you write more soon! I love the way you write Draco\'s character! In all your stories you just write him perfectly! I mean it, and I simply can not wait for more!
Cheers,

Hey Pizie, I\'m really loving this fic (of course your other current fic is great as well). So I was wondering if you\'ll ever planning on continuing this fic. Because it has real potential. I\'m dying to know the rest! CONTINUE SOON PLEASE!
