No words to say how much i love this!

Fantastic! Emotional and wonderfully smutty. Just great job!

I don't know if I've reviewed this story, but I have definitely read it at least twice. Love this story; very well done. Wish there was an epilogue or a sequel or something... awesome story!

i just wanted to say, i really liked this. i pretty much read the story as you were posting it, and i kept meaning to leave a review. i loved the way you made the relationship real and not idyllic (especially their first encounter, because that's never perfectly choreographed and spectacular. you made marie into a very realistic young woman with realistic insecurities and you managed to do the same with logan while keeping him in character. well done :-)

Author's Response: Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review :). So glad you liked the story. I've been meaning to read yours and September's and Jaq's work as soon as I'm finished with 'Feral.' Yeah, first encounters are always a little awkward. But I really think that's part of what makes them so special and sweet, ya know? I do look forward to writing a sequel to this, in which they *ahem* learn to choreograph things a bit more spectacularly ;).

When I saw that you added this (love the chapter title, lol!) I got all girlee and grinned like an idiot.

The grin stayed on the whole time I read this.

Hot, sexy, funny, awkward, and so damn SWEET. Exactly what it should have been and you delivered it, flawlessly. I am SO happy you joined in the fun, atmd - you are so very, very talented! :)

Author's Response: Awww shucks. Thanks :). I'm really glad to have found this site as well. The quality of the writing here is great & i'm super excited to be a part of it. I think some of the writers here must be professional authors or something 0_o. Heee. Yay for girly grinning. I was doing that as I wrote this as well. So fun to go back in time and remember all the awkwardness and insecurity that comes with growing into your sexuality. I'm really having fun with this Marie, and the movie version of Logan, who seems a bit more insecure and passionate than the movie/comic version. a lot of the inspiration for this was the scene with Jean from X3, where he's struggling to control himself and she has to tell him "It's okay, it's okay". That was just such a sweet, vulnerable moment, and a side of him that doesn't get showcased nearly enough :). Blagh sorry for typos; wrote this on my phone and too lazy to go back and fix!

Next chapter, sequel... whatever just MORE!!!

Author's Response: Haha, sounds good. I'm really liking that idea as well, and am already formulating a sequel in my mind. Need to finish my other work in progress, Feral, but then expect a sequel to this :)

I felt that hug.

Love that you brought in the finger swirl on the hand, and his reaction...Did you hear the sigh that escaped me?

This story was like climbing a staircase - each step changes your perspective despite the difference of only a few inches. So wonderfully done. I don't think I would have gotten the same experience if you put it all into one chapter.

Perfectly, perfectly done. :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm glad you feel the same way about the chapters. I wasn't trying to be a review whore or anything, lol, I just really felt like it worked in that format :). I'm glad you liked the story, thank you for taking the time to always leave such great feedback, and hope you enjoy the 'lucky chapter 13' the others have convinced me to tack on :)

Again, my heart is in my throat. Up and down, up and down...this is so good...

***picks self off floor***

Wanted soft dark heat, to bond himself with someone sweet and good and pure.'Nuff said.

Author's Response: Hee :). This was my favorite chapter. Glad you liked it!

Oh, yippee! Love this. And here I am, heart in my throat in anticipation of what you have planned next and then you go ahead and make me laugh with this:

“Enough . . .” he paused, mulling over his words. He tried a half-smile. “Enough to know you’re nuts.” :) HAH!

‘Specially that creepy Freud fella. What a perv.

Sorry, I had to insert that here, got a big laugh out of me!

That thing about circling her thumb on his hand? Man. I so get her.

Author's Response: I know, right? There's nothing quite as scary and thrilling as taking that first step in a relationship. And lemme tell you, I have way too much personal experience with the awkward, embarrassing side of relationships. Sometimes it's a little TOO easy to write those moments, LOL.

And here, with a few lines of introspection, you get across her pain over the relationship she once shared with Bobby - still hurts but she's learning to move on - and you deal with Logan's pain over Jean and her very real reaction to the redhead's death. See? Worth a chapter, yessiree. :)

Wow, I loved that story! You killed me with the short chapters on my slooooow cell phone, but it was worth all the waiting. ;-) Such a great characterization of them both, very sexy, nice revelations all around (Marie's insecurity and fear of growing up, Logan's yearnings)...the list of great stuff is endless. I really love playful, ebullient Logan, it's something you so rarely see and so charming. Laughed out loud at "You're black and white and red all over!" But I agree with other reviewers. I think you are missing a lucky Chapter 13. Don't wanna waste a Mature rating, do ya? ;-)

Author's Response: Ha! Sorry, lame 3G, I feel ya. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review. After your suggestion and a couple of others, I went on and added that lucky chapter. Ended up being as long as the whole rest of the story, heh.
