But then, good things (and great!) come to those who wait. I enjoyed this, even if it's not my usual genre. Hey, all authors need to branch out once in a while. :) I liked the back and forth feelings Iris experienced and how she really didn't know how to ask for what she wanted. Great story and I look forward to seeing you branch out again!
Dammit! And now I'm going to have that freakin' song in my head all damn day! Thank you very much, PL. ;-)
That was absolutely beautiful. Wonderful story, that seemed like something you could see happen so very easily. Their both the kind of people you have and know in real live.
I like how you got around having to give any back story on one character by having her not want to talk about her past. I had not thought about that but it's so simple an idea.
When I leave a comment I always try to give a critique if I saw anything that would have made the story better. The only thing about this one that caught me was I got a little name overwhelmed at the first. After that it was a smooth to read, beautiful story.
Very, very nice.
As always your writing is damn near perfect. The story itself was hot and I love the conflict. The love/hate relationship was done well. I enjoy stories featuring "I should tell them to screw, but oh, I want them so bad!" and this showed up nicely here.
Another great tale from one of Lits finest
has she learned her lesson ??
I am not sure - she doesn't entirely sound like it
Which is to say, it's excellent. What a nice change from the usual lipstick lesbian clichés we usually see here. The maturity in this one made for a welcome departure and a solid read.
And check it out! No hockey players! :-)
Haven't we all had a relationship like this at one time or another? We've all been with that person who made us hotter than a sidewalk in Texas, but... the red flags come up at some point. Sometimes we heed them, sometimes we don't, and hopefully we eventually learn from the times we don't listen.
I really enjoyed your story, as usual, PL. Not a bit of it felt forced or out of place. Congratulations on successfully pushing yourself. :)
Yeah, I said it: etude.
etude: (a French word meaning study) an instrumental musical composition, usually short, of considerable difficulty, and designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular musical skill.
Seriously, when smut-writing becomes a college class, they're going to use this as a case study on how to do it right. This is clean, economical, effortless, and natural. Darn steamy too. I love and envy you, PL, in precisely the way you describe: "in equal measure."
Cheers,

My wife informs me that it should be "l'etude" not "le etude." Just trying to get this in here before y'all have at me. :p
...but it should be "étude." ;) Last I checked, anyway, but it's been ages since I took French.
Outsmarted again. I studied useful languages like Spanish and, um, Latin. Okay, even I started chuckling at the end there. I will Frenchify no more.
I don't know exactly what to say. I can sense I am in the presence of greatness here. I know that was good. Yet, the reality of that relationship was a bit of a downer, just like my penis was by the end of it. And I can just picture you chastising me for the crude reference right now! But you get my point. You peaked in the middle of the story in terms of reader arousal. But you peaked pretty high before the fall. I appreciate your writing and look forward to the next one, hopefully involving a woman kissing another woman.
BUT, I like the way it's written. I like the changes. I see you even changed the title too. Interesting! :)
Extremely well written. I do not normally read lesbian stories but make an exception when they are written by a great author. I enjoyed the human element of this tale, it was not just about body parts fitting together. Thanks for writing.
Rarely do I get to read a lesbian story having an on-off relationship. This was a fun read for me. Despite its shortness, you've successfully managed to flesh out the main characters; Iris and Lia. A really good job on that front!
Thanks for sharing. :)
