Ron chuckled.

"The way you're dressed, I should probably leave it on."

Rhonda stroked his cheek.

"This dress is to tease you during dinner. After that, if you'll light a fire in the fireplace, I think the dress is going to be laying over a chair and I'll be laying over you, so find something easy to take off."

They're happy together there in the cabin on the lake. From Spring through Fall, Ron does a little fishing and raises a garden. Rhonda paints scenes of the lake and surrounding woods. During the winter, they stay inside except to bring in wood for the fireplace and a weekly trip to town. They always need a few groceries and Rhonda needs to make the rounds of the tourist traps where she sells her paintings. People seem to like them and she's happy about that. It's what she always wanted to do.

That fireplace gets a lot of use. Rhonda says she likes lying with Ron in front of it and just staring at the flames. When he asked her why, she said they remind her of her life -- flaring up only to flicker out again, but then coming back as bright and hot as ever, over and over again.

Ron just smiled when she told him that. Rhonda's life didn't do that to her. It was Rhonda dealing with whatever life gave her and coming out on top, and now, she was doing it for him. He thought after one woman he'd never find another, but Rhonda had stirred the embers of his life into flames again. He couldn't think of anything he could have wanted that would have been as great.

You do the detective stories so well. This utterly believable yarn is in the Raymond Chandler

ouvre, while the dialogue is worthy of Dashiel Hammett. Each used a staccato form of sentence structure. Your's is a more "over-easy" style. I liked the redemptive conclusion. It is much more palatable than the vengence and retribution that often permeates. the grnre. Could only give you the max, as Literotica powers-that-be think that's enough of a distinction for what is, after all,

a suck/fuck site.

You’re starting to grow on me. I even like your sci-fi stuff. And I don’t ever like sci-fi stuff.

More Logs of the Julay, please.

Well constructed, good characters and just a feel good story. All stories don't have to be about ideal people. Ordinary people doing what is good for them without hurting others is good to read about and I enjoyed this. 5*

Great plot, with interesting characters, and internal and external dialogue. Lots of detailed information with logical thinking and information searching. The sex scene seemed authentic and enjoyable for both of them

You're a good storyteller, which makes for a good read.
