One Who Understands

In the top five on Literotica !

Started a little slow, but built up very well & became a very good read !

Absolutely fantastic!

One of, probably THE, best stories I've read on this site. It may surpass the attention span of some but I relish it; Pillars of the Earth just left me wanting more. Five and a Favorite.

Tingling

Great story. Interesting the way you use the world tingling. I used that world for years describing the pain I had in my leg (result of herniated disk L5S1. The doctors didn't like that word. But for me it was the only appropriate word. Because of that word it took 10 years to get properly diagnosed.

I am aAppalachian Hillbilly but moved to Pasidena at 9 years of age. I don't know the origen of that world for me, maybe the South. Where are you from?

OH MY, THIS WAS WELL WRITTEN

Loved this story! Wonderful writing.

Superb

I really enjoyed this story. Glad Ed got everything in the end.

Great short story;)

Great short story;)
Maybe write a longer one next time...seriously.. good story

those of you asking for a continuation or sequel

should read

"'The Most Valuable Gift' is an unplanned sequel to 'One Who Understands'."
BurntRedstone "Author's Notes:"

Excellent

Great story! Well written. Full of compassion and good understanding of human nature

5 hours

Spent roughly half of my sleeping time to read this. If there was some kind of writing prizes for online erotic stories then this will definitely take the award.

one of the best

Great read, unputdownable.

The best

Probably the best story of the lot although I don't read the SciFi ones or non human.

I had tears in the end my friend

Thank you very much for writing such a wonderful story :)

Excellent work!

Oh God, wow!

The character, the plot, the writing and the pace. All perfect. The length is a little longer than I'm used to, but I could take more of Ed (and his adventures).

Fantastic, Hope this is not the end

You are a great writer, the story was fantastic and I loved every bit of it. I hope that there will be more to this group of friends/lovers. It seems like there is so much more to be told. Again superb story. Thank you

Best story ever!!!

I never ever add comments but this one was so good I had to... Just amazing and I couldn't put it down.... Read it in a day it was so good... Keep writing you are just amazing. More stuff like this...lol

Awesome!

Best story I've ever read here. I want more!

Fantastic

Bravo Bravo. I would love to see a sequel to this on how his lifeet continues as he continues being intimate with all of those women. Awesome story line, well thought out and exiting. Can't wait to read more of your work.

Easy e

That was the most amazing i have ever read here in 10 years please keep up the ggod work. Next chapter should be amazing.

love the story and would love for anther chapter or two :)

Has to be one of the best stories I have read on here.

Absolutely excellent! Sat up half a night to finish it. Thank you very much. Wonderful.

Wow

I have to say it again... WOW
I haven't stayed up reading anything in a long time.
Great story.

Great!

I loved it! Thanks.

Great story!! I haven't spent two days reading any story in a good long while. Thanks!

get in touch with someone to make it happen

(in my opinion) this could very easily (if executed well) be a great series on netflix or some other service but I'm sure requires funding

FANTASTIC!!!

One of the absolute best of this type of story I've read to date. At no point was I ever bored or felt the story was plodding. Great execution! The author made every character feel unique and interesting, and did a fantastic job of developing the main and minor characters in such a way that I was truely invested in their well being and what was happening to them. Again, WELL DONE!!!

THIS. WAS. AMAZING!

This is by FAR the best story I have EVER read on here!!! I would have paid for this story in a heartbeat! Thank you!

I have never read a story as good as this. It's a classic. One even the author may find hard to duplicate. Thanks so much for this work of art.

Amazing

This the best story on here... Blew me away... Every word, every paragraph stood out in awe... Will be hard to duplicate this but please try.. I added this to my favorites an you to my favorites as authors... Can't wait for more

Just great

This is up there with the best stories i've read of this or any other genre! couldn't stop reading it.

Awesome read

I could not stop reading, excellent storyline

Wow

Nothing else to say, but Wow. A truly magnificent piece of literature. Thank you for sharing your skill and Artistry.

Outstanding

Incredible story, the best I have ever read. Amazing and thank you.

excellent

I read this after the sequel, but wanted to read more about Ed life and loves. I liked the characters and the plot in both, which kept my interest throughout, though both are novel-length stories.

Very good writing, though a few grammatical issues and once Ed was "Joe". Not enough to be distracting.

Absolutelt fantastic story

This was simply amazing. Every word had me captivated and I've read as often as I could over the past few days and loved every moment. Your writing style combined with the fantastic story ideas and content made this just superb. I'm definitely going to your page and hope you've written more, especially some more long stories like this! I honestly felt like I was reading a normal book the way this had me wanting to read all of it all the time and had to bite my tongue a few times to stop me from discussing it with people!

It was just fantastic and by far my favourite story I've read here. The aspects that explored feelings were amazing too and really showed a...realness to the story. I'm not a fan of the 1 page super quick stories that go straight into sex. The build up and description of every act made it real and that meant I thoroughly enjoyed reading all 32 pages - in fact, towards the end I found myself hoping that somehow magically there would be more pages added before I got to the end!

Fantastic story!

LOVED IT!

I was addicted to this thing for three days trying to get time to finish it. Wonderful writing. 5 Stars:)

Great Job

This was a fun read. Very good story.

Amazing Well Written

I was absolutely in thrall with your story wish you had more like it. Sooo amazing.

Addicted

I couldn't stop reading this story. I got addicted from the first page. Thanks for the adventure

Awesome

Excellent story

Excellent story. I got very engrossed and couldn't stop reading. Well done

I feel like the first time protection was mentioned was the last 2 pages of the story. Other than that it was a great read

Sequel!!!

I really hope this story can continue because it was uplifting and also Grace didn't have much to do in the story only Ed but I hope you can bring another story to define love and passion between Ed and Grace and their lifestyle.

A Bit Misleading

Grace is brought in as the main love interest, however, (spoiler alert . . .) she doesn't really play as big a role in the story as other female characters (particularly Rachel). Even so, it's still very good and I think by the end most people won't be disappointed. However, some will want a continuation to tie up a few loose ends. My one complaint is that the pacing was slow enough that even though I wanted to continue reading everything, I found myself skimming a bit. The plot gets a little bit convoluted at some points as well. Though overall, the main character interaction was pretty good. I wish there had been much more focus on Grace though as that was the most misleading part. Side note, even though Ed has sex with multiple women throughout the story, it's not like he's some crazed animal that can't keep control. It's actually typically the women that take control firstly. Unfortunately that does mean (at least for this story) that there is some unwillingness on his part at least to some extent for some of the sex scenes as he feels pressured into it. Even so, it's ultimately his decision so it can't really be considered blackmail.

Coming back

I had to keep coming back to find out what happens. (Double entendre intended)

There is a sequel

I just reread this story and was thinking that it seemed longer before. I was confused by the apparent lack of a second chapter so I double checked the writer's page and found it under the title (The Most Valuable Gift) just letting people know. I'm off to read it now. :)
P.s.*****

Awsome read

Thank you enjoyed every part of this story and the continuation to it Please More I enjoyed it very much.

The anticipation

What's so emotional about this story is the wait. My, Rachel is so loveable and Grace, she's this girl that people wrong, that people forsake; how it added up in the end it's, it's novel. And this story is so not just for the sex. In fact I mostly just sweep through the sex parts but I really appreciate the crave. The emotions at play is a bit much. That's good tho.
Ps: I'm so in love with Rachel, my red haired fiery passion.

Great read!!!!!

Just when I thought I was running out of great stories to read on Literotica, I discovered "One Who Understands". Not only was it well thought out but it was edited beautifully and I did not find it so vulgar as to not be enjoyable. I plan to read the rest of your stories and I only hope that they meet the standard of this story.
WOULDBGOOD

Great Read!

Thanks for posting :)

Great story

the level of research into HVAC was interesting but the description of how sex, even between the same lovers, can be so varied, was fascinating.
