SUMMARY: Karen meets Eric, the man of her dreams. The thing is that she is already married, has two children, one of whom is engaged to Eric. He, on the one hand, has no trouble overlooking the obstacles that their forbidden love encounters. She, on the other, goes through quite a bit of internal turmoil.

COMMENTARY: Great Story. Really. Normally I am not big on a lot of narration; I prefer more dialogue than you'll find in this story. In this case I am willing to make an exception. The author has done an excellent job with the narration, using it to show how torn Karen is between her role as a mother and wife, and her desire for Eric.

Another thing that this story has going for it, in my book, is that while the story is overflowing with sexual tension, it is not overflowing with sex. The author has picked and chosen the right moments for Karen to abandon herself to her carnal desires. After all, the story is really about what leads Karen to give in to Eric and not the sex she has with him. The latter is just the icing on the cake, while the former is not only the cake but also the rest of the meal.
