Poor william probably feels ashamed and dirty. Its hard after having 30 years of 'touching = bad' shoved down your throat he probablt feels shameful, i mean he if thoughtk issing her was bad then he probably wouldn't have even been able to contemplate this. I mean I grew up in a very open household but even my first situation like that and I was on buffy's end it felt dirty on some level and for william in this era and in such an uptight society and I can't even imagine how he slet that night. if he did.

Author's Response: You certainly have that right. After hearing his entire life that sex is for procreation (and that women aren't supposed to innitiate or even desire it), William is feeling very confused and guilty. I always thought that in the context of the series, the reason Spike adored Drusilla was that she pulled him out of an oppressive society and taught him how to enjoy not just violence but also sex, guilt free. Thanks so much for the review. :-)

A lot changed for William but Buffy didn't notice because he didn't tell. Closed doors or loosing money. ~ Things changed? Oh this changed. Buffy underestimated William, he is still Victorian. Oh my I wonder what that will mean. For once that he went away immediately.

Author's Response: Poor William. He tries to protect her from unpleasantness, but I'm afraid this might come back to haunt him in the future. Thanks for reading. :)

What a terrible misstep. Buffy's wanton behavior was so out of line for this time period, it's going to make William wonder if Charles Archer had a grain of truth in his insults. This chapter started odd on such a happy, settled tone, and now everything's jumbled.

Author's Response: They have been raised with such different ideals. Buffy sees sex as a way to express love, while William was taught that love was shown only by restraint from all the baser urges. Now they are both confused. Thanks for the review. :)

I noticed I forgot to review this last time, I love it.


Author's Response: I appreciate you for coming back to say that. Thank you. :)

And delicious though that be, it could really create a problem. Perhaps a fortnight will be a good thing for them, though that whole running away without talking always created quite enough fun. They always come back from such things, I can only wonder how long it will take. A great chapter filled with yet another turning point. I await what happens next. Please, update soon.

Author's Response: I'm glad you continue to enjoy it. Thank you, as always, for reviewing. :)

this is a great story
very well written
please continue

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you like it. :)

Beautifuly written I hope you continue with this.

Author's Response: I will certainly continue. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. I'm glad you like the story. :)

“You’re always so fastened up,” she said playfully. “How’ve you lived so long so fastened up? Don’t you ever let yourself relax?”

“Am I fastened up?” His voice was thick, as if the words had stuck in his throat.

“Very fastened up,

((((((So very cute))))))

Author's Response: I'm glad you think so. Thank you. :)

This is really good and the love scene was well done I thought keeping in mind they are both new to each other and wanting to please the other it was just enough and the akwardness after. Great job

Author's Response: Thanks so much! :)

I am not big on doing reviews cause I never know what to say and mostly I lurk the site but this story I really like and really want more so I came out of hiding to try to feed the muse.

Author's Response: The muse greatly appreciates that, thank you. :)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It's cute to see Buffy getting frustrated in her feelings for William and having to maintain this Elizabeth proper persona and how she try's to move in for a little more intimacy between then and William is the one pulling back where as if they were in her time it be so opposite if it were her and Spike in the same scenario. I just think though she went to far an now they both won't know what to do. Again you have me eating out of the palm of your writers hand on this and I wanting to know what happens next.

Author's Response: In present day, the most common way for people to express love is by sex, so poor Buffy is a little confused by William's reluctance to do so. She fails to take into account the beliefs of Victorian times. To William love and respect are shown in the restraint of his baser urges, not the indulgence in them. You are entirely right in saying things have gone too far. If Buffy had been paying attention to what William was trying to tell her, she would have realized this. ;) I'm glad you like the story. Thanks for reviewing! :)

They have a way of reading each other from either across a room and even in a way time can't deny in how them seem to have a destiny for one another. I think he probably is shocked and that is why he left most likely shocked that a woman would even choose to be close to him or of his own reactions to it but I do hope he at least said something to someone for her. Poor Elizabeth!

Author's Response: Shocked is definitely a good way to describe what he is feeling right now. ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Love it, so wonder how much damage she did it he left before day break.

Author's Response: You'll find out soon enough. ;) Thanks as always for reviewing!
