Sinister opening. I\'m always torn as to whether to read the authors notes before pieces rather than let them stand for themselves. Does it serve as a necessary recap, or ruin some of the mystery.

Through to the bedroom, it kept an ominous air, something... vile about Peters manner. Tessa\'s snapping at him on his entry carried this along... and then...

\"Worship at my altar!\"

And I died laughing. Brilliant, perhaps I\'ve read to many \'Readers Letters\' but I thought it was a wonderful juxtaposition. And after that I gave up all attempt to be serious and just read on...

So. Thoughts - She must be tiny - Peters not a large man, but thats nevermind. I like the language - not too \'her engorged button, his throbbing organ\' - descriptive enough but not too much. Sensual without descendinto gto gratiuitous smut. One phrase - where he took of his belt with \"the practiced nonchalance of someone who had obviously done this all before\" I didn\'t like, it brought in a third person perspective that jarred - I think it was the \'obviously\' that just jolted me - it was a little to Authors Note for me. A nitpick I know, but it was the only thing I caught myself on in an otherwise enjoyable read.

The tone switching was good, kept me guessing, from dark and nasty, to over-the-top lust, to pure passion. I like this. I liked this a lot.

is there an easier way to see reviews?

There has to be an easier way to see my reviews!~

Well, that was my first venture into het NC-17, and an interesting experience it was. First, I\'m going to assure you that it\'s well-written. Second, I\'m going to have to admit that het generally squicks me. Hell, it squicked me when I was in a real het relationship. (Thank god I\'m not anymore.) However, as I said, it was well-written. I\'ve never seen a power-play in bed written quite like that. I don\'t know much about Tessa as a character... which means it\'s probably high time for me to read Devil\'s Dilem. bu. but there\'s a very interesting ambiguity about her. She\'s not totally subservient even in bed, and in her own way, she has Peteaineained. It was odd to see that sort of iactiaction. So, Peter is hung like a tripod, eh? That\'s an interesting visual. I liked how you had him stutter. I took great amusement in it. I can appreciate that you\'re a writer who is honest about characters, showing their faults properly, even if they\'re characters you like.

I must go... more homework, and I must sleep. However, thank you for my introduction to het NC-17. Good intro. :)

Good fic! A bit naughty... but nevertheless good. ;) I love the ending:

\"Same time tomorrow night, with roles reversed, Mr. Pettigrew?\" Tessa asked playfully.

\"Sure!\" came Peter\'s excited response. He kissed her gently on the mouth and ran his fingers through her soft hair.

\"Happy Anniversary, Mrs. Pettigrew,\" he whispered. \"I love you.\"

\"And I you, sweet Peter,\" Tessa replied.

I cracked up. From such an intimate fic to such a twisted ending. :) Good fic... and how shall I say? Good imagrey (sp?).

Nice fic! ;)

Hey, thanks! Someone had to do it!

w00t. ^_^ See. that wasn\'t so hard. You know they loved it. Tessa is just in denial, not letting you write more. Now just to work that fic into the Series...

PS: I covered my eyes during the nasty parts, if that makes you feettertter. (although, I\'m not denying that I peaked between my fingers ;) )
