Only the 11th time I have given out a 5 in over 1,000 hours on this site. Just perfect! Such a love affair. One knows this will go on forever. A wonderful first effort. Do keep 'em coming. And don't even think about spoiling this beautiful tale by adding chapters...just start with a new one, and soon!
Wow, suddenly, there it was. The blooming of the story into a hot episode of lust driven sex was very enjoyable, very erotic.
A good first showing.

I will start my comment acknowledging that you are able to write portraying emotions clearly and images vividly. The main character is self-centred, her love interest is a poor excuse for a professional therapist. He knows she is married and seems not to be too worried about the potential damage to a former patient and her family caused by infidelity in which he is a major instigator.
Very well written, good pacing, enough detail, however I failed to connect with either character since both are lacking in integrity. He seemed too ready to violate the most basic ethical tenet of his profession, ‘First do no harm.’ Transference is more common than not in counseling making use of that power imbalance prohibited. He took advantage of her vulnerability and somehow I doubt it was his first time. She has no excuse for her actions, either. Her family deserves better.
Oo. This was very nearly perfect, except for the same concerns over client-therapist-relationship others have expressed. But wonderful writing, wonderful characterization, perfect depiction of midlife crisis.
