You are awesome, as is this story. I don't know which I liked better--the growly almost-fight or the sex. Definitely loved them both, though. One thing I liked was that it's not overly romantic, but that I can still see hints of their growing understanding of each other.

Again, great characterization. Whether or not their relationship shifts and changes, I'm enjoying each step.

And, of course, I want to know what happens next. I hope you write it!
