True feelings :) Now they both know :) Very sweet, loved this chapter.

Author's Response: GLad you enjoyed it darling, thanks so much. Huggles.

Wow that's all I can say Wow....Another great chapter .....Wow I'm just gob smacked and thats saying alot for me I'm a little behind with my reading so now I'm off to the next chapter......

Author's Response: Thanks hon, that's good in a way that your behind cuz you won't have to wait, right? Thanks for the review, and I love your smileys.

I know I already told you via email that I loved this chapter but I still feel the need to leave a review. Gotta leave a review...

I LOVED this chapter. It was SO intense. From the running in the rain to the whispered words to the mutual respect and consideration that they really, truly showed each other at each and every juncture of the evening. It was so magical.
You are doing such a wonderful job of laying the foundation of the "finding of one's true soul mate". They are it for each other.

Author's Response: Awww, thanks my friend. I"m glad you enjoyed the tender moments of them coming together, finding eachother, and of course loving eachother. It was meant to be a magical night of bonding and deep feelings and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Oh yes, they are meant for one another, but it wouldn't be spuffy without a struggle to obtain that love. Thanks for a lovely review as always sweety.

Oh my god... 2 cold showers and I'm still overdone! Absolutely loved it! You go girl!

Author's Response: LOL, thanks bro.

What can I say.You send us into the realm,so intense that it is only what dreams are made of.You just reach into the souls of lovers.And you dig deep.You leveall exsposed.And you do it so Beautifully.What more can I say.

Author's Response: WOw, I think I"m going to blush myself straight into next week. I think that's what my muse tried to go for when he took over for this chapter. DIg in, pull out the raw emotions and put them on display for all to see. So it thrills me that you enjoyed the chapter, and of course thanks for the lovely review hon.

I just loved them together! What's going to happen next? Doesn't he still need money? Update soon please!

Author's Response: Aren't they adorable? I just loved writing these last couple happy chapters, and I'm glad you enjoyed it hon. Yes, he still needs the money, and as for what happens next...... al I can say is the angst will pick up after the next chapter. Sorry, no spoilers here hon. Thanks for the lovely review.

Very sweet and sexy. Loved the walking home in the rain. Loved that Buffy leveled him by using his given name. A nice chapter to read after a long weekend away with the in-laws. And I loved your author's note-- It's nice to know there are other thirty-something moms out there who think there is a serious squeel factor in all this stuff at times! ;)

Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed it hon, yeah, Buffy really did floor him on that one. *giggles*, as mature as I am, I'm not ashamed to admit there is most definetely a serious squeel factor when it comes to this stuff. Hey, its a tension breaker/escape for me. THanks for the lovely review hon.

The rainstorm and the drying off at home were well described and set the stage for the erotic, romantic bedroom scene. You painted a vivid picture of the raging storm and the electricity coming and going. I'm looking forward to these two finally having a talk about their emotions and William's job as an escort.

Author's Response: Oh that is sooooooo good to hear. I agonized over creating that scene, trying to get enough, yet not too much, of the right amount of description of everything pulled together. Okay, I'm glad you liked the chapter hon, but I don't want you to be too disappointed about what doesn't get talked about the next day - especially since I adore your reviews and hope you stay the duration of the fic. WIthout offering too many spoilers, let's just say that this heavy revelation combined with new and fragile emotions, William's sudden decision to quit the biz and desire to not say a word, 'remain in the dark', until all is settled......... well, there's a lot of factors (also the time frame they have known each other is really not that long) that will come into play as to what they will and won't talk about. That being said, just trust me sweety, the upcoming angst is necessary for the development. Buffy is way too 'thinky-girl' right now. She needs another 'shove' so to speak. Thank you so much for the review sweety and I do hope you continue to enjoy, yes, even the angst.

Oh, this was so nice. I love reading it. You did a great job. And btw ... you´re muse is male?!?! *gg*
They are that great together, they really belong together, why do there has to be more angst???? Couldn´t you let it be this way?? No, I know, than we don´t need to read this any longer. But I´m happy to hear that the next one will be a happy one too. So I´m happy with this and when there is coming too much angst I have to read these ones and think of the better times they had together.
Hope it was understandable, if not ask me. *gg*

Have a wonderful day and I go to bed now. Smooooooooooooooch.

Author's Response: Oh yes, my muse is a male... he comes at the most unpredicted times and has his wicked way with me. Also, I have a 5'10" cardboard standup of him to in my living room, lol. Oh, I understand your feelings on the angst, I do. Just keep the good times in mind and know that making up can be just as much fun. If it gets to be too much for you, there's always the option to skip reading for awhile until things get better. I'll miss you but understand if that's the way you go. Just come back or my muse will cry. Thanks for the lovvely review hon, *hugs*.

This is such a great story! PLEASE CONTINUE SOON!

Author's Response: THanks hon, I'll do my best, promise.

Yep, still have chills, LOL! You're very welcome for the help hon, always there for a fellow Spuffy author *At least one of us is able to get some damn writing done, GRRRRR......* . Like I told you the other night on the phone, this chappie is absolutely amamzing. You have taken all the raw emotions of Spike and Buffy and brought them to life keeping us drooling for more. I am anxiously awaiting to see what you have instore for aour fav couple and am always here to lend a helping hand when you need one. Kuddos!

Author's Response: Tee hee, echo?

Hmm, weird reviewing at this site, but ST doesn't let us "anonymous types" reviewing at this point so had to come here for it... Well, what wouldn't I do to please your muse, he's so my favorite one EVER!!! So to the point of this already...

Awww!!! My heart was about to burst while reading this! Just so damn great, powerful, beautiful, heartfelt (I'm running out of appropriate adjectives to use here...) chapter! You just keep delivering amazing chapter after another! What really gets me all green with envy and struck with awe, is that you write as brilliant "serious feelings" stuff as you do "hot-hot-hot smut" stuff! I find that quite rare, because majority of the writers I've read, are better at the other. I just have to humbly raise my imaginary hat to you and wish to have another chapter of your fanfictiony-goodnes soon!

Oh, I'm so behind in reviewing Lessons In Love (read that too at the ST and couldn't review), but don't you worry dear muse, that will be my next stop ;)

Author's Response: Hi there friend. Yeah, the mod at ST had to temporarily block anonymous reviews... someone (spammer) kept leaving reviews for chapter 5 of TE that were nothing more than babbling random (crude)words that were direct links to porn sites. They kept rolling in like every five minutes.... so after about 35 of them, the mod had to do something until she can figure out how to stop it. But I am so glad you liked the chapter enough to take the time to stop over here and review. It really means a lot, to me and my muse. And of course I'm pleased that you're enjoying LOL and LIL as well. They're posted here at TSR as well. I am blushing five shades of red here. I'm glad to hear that the efforts of my muse are paying off.... in the dept. of describing the emotions as well as the sex scenes. I do try to pour as much as possible into it to get the readers to feel what they feel. So thank you so much for the kind words and the lovely review, hugs and kisses hon.
