Commentary

This is a very arousing story. The fact that both characters are married, but not to each other, and are initially placed in a situation where they need to act like lovers, made for a very arousing story.

This is a well conceived story. The transition from the first part to the second could have been a bit smoother. There was a definite shift in mood or the narrator's attitude toward their situation. The characters seem realistic, as does the dialogue. This is not a very deep story, but there is more to it than just sex. There are a few typos.

I enjoyed this story. It well written, very arousing, and reasonably well edited. I think I might have enjoyed this story a bit more if the author had managed to preserve the tone he had going in the first half. I have given this story a Very Good, under Subjective Analysis.
