Excellent and beautifully written. It has prompted my first ever comment. It resonates with me as I fell in love very quickly and very deeply, engaged in weeks, still happily together 3 decades later. I do remember the judgement of others though as the time-scale of our relationship was at odds with the traditional. This sums up the 'can this really be real,' feeling so well. Well, it can! I can't wait to read more. An easy 5 stars.
So, good news and bad news. It appears that this story has at least a few more chapters to go. Anticipation for what NTH will do from this promising start is palpable. But, at the same time, I realize that it will take a while for NTH to complete the story. For an author of NTH’s talent, I’ll wait patiently.
understand how this can happen, asked my wife to marry me on the 2nd date and she said yes. we did wait 2 years to get out of college, but we knew early on it was for real. still together 4 decades later after getting married.
I liked it well enough to give it 5 stars even after the awful conclusion: " ... I flooded her womb with my seed, moaning of my love for her as I did." So many cliched phrases in such a short sentence!
Great Story. Really well done! Think you will have to change your name though, considering that you're a very talented writer.
“ leaving Emma and I ”
NTH, you are a good writer most of the time which makes this unforced error all the more bothersome. Take out the words ‘Emma and’ and ask yourself if you would ever say ‘leaving I.’ No, one says ‘leaving me’ so the correct wording of the whole phrase would be “leaving Emma and me”.
You may not believe this, but I'm from Texas yet not fixin' to jump off the deep end pointing out your grammatical errors. This story is superb with or without them. Having an attraction for black women, I wish some Nubian princess would jump my bones after a day together. Probably only happens in London. Too bad I can't afford that flight to England. Thank you for sharing your talent with us lesser humans.
5 stars, or 6 or 9!
You must keep this series going...and don't dare finish them at two months.... hahahaha
There's more of these two coming. I use them as a palate cleanser from my darker stuff, so hold tight. :)
NoTalentHack which you are most definitely NOT, please cleanse your palate and continue this story. It's been almost 4 months since you last posted the second part. It's way too good to leave it hanging. As always thanks for your contributions to this site
Going to whine now....Not fair to stop. Not a fan of romance but this story is very good with a chance for 5/5, Please Baas...
Pt. 3 is coming soon, hopefully this week. I'll give you a brief taste (this is all WIP and subject to change):
“This isn’t Tex-Mex. This is a war crime.”
.
Emma giggled at my complaint. “It’s not that bad.”
.
“It is! I mean, the food’s not bad, but it sure as hell isn’t Tex-Mex. Neither Texas nor Mexico would claim it, and certainly not both together.”
.
We were, as was often the case, sitting in my hotel room, eating room service after a long day of work. “Often” might not be the right word, though. We’d only been together for a month, but I’d been on crunch for the first three weeks of that, with only Sundays off. Can anything that’s only happened for a month be considered “often?”
Dammit !
You got me hooked on ANOTHER of your tales by reference to it in your essay on plagiarism !
Just finished Part 2, headed for Part 3, and from comments here AND your reference in the essay, I gather there's been quite some time between chapters... so I'm joining the throng waiting for the next part(s ?) to show up, like I am with a couple of other authors and their multi-part stories !
Yes, I know that no one posts here for their living, just for a part of their life... that doesn't change the fact that when we find someone who writes as well as you - and a few others - it gets a bit frustrating keeping track of the many series in which we have become invested.
PUH-leeze... find some time and give us more of these 5-star tales of the human experience !
Thanks.
