Getting Warmer, Ch. 1-8

I love when a story comes along and fills the gaps in time that were left by the book. This one isn't cannon, but am enjoying the AU spin on their time of getting used to each other as a married couple. Not only are these two recent cherry pops learning and experimenting with sex, but we have two species figuring out the tricks of having sex period w/out it being uncomfortable.

What I do like is seeing a loose and carefree Edward. We see a bit of the boy that he is frozen as. He is playful and lustful. I love seeing him finally cut loose. I like Bella in this story, because she seems to be more aggressive and sure of herself.

This latest chapter didn't surprise me so much, because you have been building toward this moment that I think you are about to reveal. I am anxious to see what you do with it.

Renfield and Chiclets, Ch. 1-10

This story had me at science nerdWARD with glasses. The whole rest of the story could have been just him cooped up in his office spewing details of his scientific trials, and I would have been a happy girl. This Edward, like most who are portrayed as scientists, is socially awkward. Scratch that. He is socially reluctant. He not only feels uncomfortable in social situations, he loaths them, mostly because he feels he can't relate to anyone. His personality, so far, leaves me teetering between wanting to hold his hand (which he would immediately wash all traces of with Purell) and pulling the stick out of his ass. This is Edward left to his own devises.

Enter sexy boss lady, Bella. I love a self-assured, sexually aggressive Bella. She is not only that, but she is smart as hell. We discover by the end of chapter 1 that boss lady not only wants to have our boy seven ways to Sunday, but she shares his fascination with vampirism in the boudoir.

The sexual relationship in this story is lascivious. Once they get a taste, sexually and literally, they can't get enough. They are not discerning where things go down (snicker), their first being on a colleague's desk at his home during a Halloween party. Homes, offices, cars, and alley ways are christened along the way. The sex is heated and aggressive and leaves this h00r panting.

Through all the passion, these two like souls find they are in love. I am looking forward to watching this couple navigate their new relationship and their lives.
