Once I started reading this, I understood, it's not just another simple for the sake of sex kind of story. I decided to read it full, because it was beautiful and captivating. Such a beautiful and real like love story.
I loved this story very much. Maybe the best on the site.
I'd love reading more stories from you.
Thank you!
I've read literally thousands of novels, tens of thousands of short stories. I owned a bookstore for many years. This is only to say - you are a gifted and talented writer! Please do us all a favor and continue to write!
5 stars doesn't do this story justice.
The time, effort and imagination you have put into this really show.
From the character development, to the storyline, you walked that fine line between understatement and overwrought perfectly.
Thank you, bravo, encore, more, take a bow.
Beautiful.
Such well drawn characters and beautifully believable conversation
5 stars and a warm thank you from me
Your story was very well written and nicely balanced the erotic with the romantic. Your characters breathe, and their humanity shows despite their personal problems. I hope to read more of your work. Please keep writing.
Honestly this was an amazing read and I would love if you made a part two
You got real talent should definitely try make a book based on this
You have nothing to apologise for. You have a great gift for writing and story telling. If this took a year or more to write then it was worth the wait. Please keep going, I would love to see what happens in your next story. Also maybe a follow up to this one. We don't know mariska's story yet.
This story could easily be in the Romance category and I hope the next part will be (that's a hint...). I can appreciate the time and effort you put in to this and thank you for sharing it with us.
You made your characters come alive for this reader.
The story felt so real and so much truth.
Thank you.
Sympathetic characters growing and healing, consistent point-of-view, flawless proofreading. Thank you!
You kept me immersed in the story till the end. I enjoyed your story, keep writing.
Absolutely excellent. Both arousing and heartwarming. Not too long or too short.
I'm a Seattle resident, and it makes it all the more visual for me with your landmarks and references. It really feels like you have someting here with these two. Keep it up!
Excellent story. Really loved it. Well put together, good pace. Wish I had your gift.
Very good story and very good read. You definitely leave the story open to other chapters, I.e. working through the list, the consequences of moving in together etc. You do leave it so you don’t have to, they are soul mates and that means happily ever after, more or less. Great story!
Thoroughly enjoyed that read :) would love a sequel if you’re wondering what to write next! :)
This my friend soon became one of my favorite stories ever. I love your writing style, the descriptions, the intimacy, the detail, the Hot Fucking language. I know I will re-read and re- read this one, and that should tell you something. A job very well done. 5 $tars. *****
I've never posted anything on this website before but I'm not gonna lie this is the first story I kept reading more of after I got off to. I'm really attached to these characters and I hope you decided to continue the story. I resonate with this a lot, this story brought me a lot of hope and happiness towards the future and I thank you for that. Great work.
Some stories stick in the mind and are a pleasure to read again. This is one of the best. Thank you.
I loves this story. I could tell how much effort was put forth. Great job!
Worth every moment of effort. The warmth and empathy you bring to this story is powerful beyond belief. Thank you.
You have written a wonderful story, I could not stop reading. You made me both emotional with the story and hard with the sex, not an easy thing to achieve. Looking forward to more from you. Thanks.
Beautiful, well written thank you author person for doing the author thing
Nice to read a story that isn't all sex. There was plenty of things to keep me interested. Hope you write more.
This story made me go through so many emotions. Yes, I did cry. It's good to see a story here that is more about love than about sex. It hit me damn hard and I loved every minute. Please keep writing!
I felt like I was reading a book on the best sellers list! Captivating!! Keep writing!!
I guess I am more like the girl in the story. This is the first time I write to any author. But regret!! You should be proud! Both of you! Not only are you changing yourselves you are profoundly affecting others. You inspired me to write this. That's huge for me! Thank you! You have a special talent and I think it will take you a long way! Best to you both.
A wonderfully moving and inspiring story!
The detail, thought, and effort you put into this had made it amazing. This sounds like a part of a script for a bestseller. The background stories had lots of thought put into them. I think you you could actually make this a novel. I would love that if you did hint hint. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more writings from you.
Love this story from beginning to end; very well written.
Full of warmth and, depth.
While not always sexual in it's entirely, it has good taste, and what sex there is, is wonderfully written.
Great read!
Great job!
Good read and well written, so much so that I had to leave a comment.
You should definitely keep writing :)
Made me cry, I wanted more but the way you ended story is exceptional
I'll say it now - this is, quite simply, one of the finest pieces I have ever read on this site. Thank you.
This was fantastic! It wasn't just having sex, it was actually meaningful. And it was realistic and emotional. I love the story build up about their friendship because it made the sex and connection they had so much better.
What a wonderful, gripping and well-developed story! Outstanding character development -- you make them so real. Really, really well done.
I, a heathen, came here, to this story, for immoral reasons.
Unfortunately for me It was a well written and beautiful story, a moving read.
So with job incomplete I shall search once more.
Please continue to write, I like finding diamonds amongst the rough.
I’ve never felt the need to leave a comment ever before, but you’re writing is truly fantastic. Keep it up.
This is the first of your stories that I have read. Well Done. It truly was a story and a lovely erotic story at that. Excellent build up of the characters and their gradual connection. I am English so unfortunately the references to American football went over my head but did not distract from your storyline. Regards AFC....Somerset.
Lovely Lovely story. Kudos to you 👍❤️. We don't have to be normal but we can TRY to get better each day.
Excellent story of people coping with adversity and winning
This was lovely ❤️ Truly lovely! So much emotion and love!! I know it’s a bit of a downer but I have to comment - did she come when they had shower sex? Or did he just get a bj then come in her and let her go without coming? Cause man... 😬😬😂😂
Excellent story and plot, wish you would continue their story - maybe we get some stories from their pasts, maybe she gets a confidence boost, maybe he gets better. Whatever floats your boat but keep it going, overall wonderful story
What an amazing heartfelt story. My heart soared and danced upon this story line as the characters intertwined their lives and selves inexorably closer to their light. I love the complexities involved in the story. Great work!
From start to finish your story flowed smoothly very well done. Hoping to see your future works
No criticism. A job swell done. I have done a bit of writing and every time I re=read it, i find an alteration I have to make. It's a sequel to a Danielle Steel novel and I would need her permission to publish. One day maybe. Don't change a thing. maybe take it into the future,
Such a beautiful, tender story. Thanks. Not what I usually look for here on Literotica, but a pleasant surprise.
What a wonderful story
Made me cry at the end. The best read I've had in quite awhile. Thank you
Your writing is a breath of fresh air. You’ve produced a well-developed coming of age story with great imagery and descriptive language (sorry, I sound like an English teacher). I’m especially impressed how you progressed into the erotic parts without losing your prose, descending into tired descriptions of sex or making it sound “cringey”. Well done!
Very sweet love story. Believable characters and plot. A branch of my family has anxiety disorder, so I know that it's like.
This was an amazing story; I cried. I was hoping for a little more time until the “I love you”’s but I still loved the story. I loved her comment wearing his last name; I’m sure it inferred what I implied.
This is way too short, i really hope this could be a series, i like the characters.
Needs a sequel. Needs finishing because young love is beautiful and pure and needs to be admired and seen !!
Wonderful story of two hurting people finding in shared love a way to overcome the. pain. I'm an old romantic, so let me guess HIS list: 'Please marry me."
