She is smitten by him, but is only interested in him if it 
is on her terms.  

COMMENTARY: Wow!  What a read!  I can think of a number of 
good things to say about this story.  One, it is extremely 
arousing.  No question about it.  Some of you may disagree, 
if you don't care for a story in which the woman calls the 
shots.  That seems rather narrow minded to me, but to each 
their own.  Two, the author does a very nice job building up 
the plot.  There is sex, but not so much so that it 
dominates the story.  At the same time the story is 
dominated by sexual tension.  Did I just contradict myself?  
Anyhow, three, I think the author does a superb job tossing 
the point of view back and forth between the two characters.  
The end result is that the reader feels as if they have 
gotten to know both of the characters.  I should mention 
that "she" seemed a little more complete than "he" did; 
possibly because the author gives a little more background 
about "her" than she does about "him"; possibly because the 
course the story takes seems to be more a fulfillment of 
"her" fantasies than it is of "his".  Which is not to say 
that "he" doesn't enjoy "himself", just that it wasn't as 
clear to me that the end result meant as much to "him" as it 
did to "her".  Well, I guess that about wraps it up.  I was 
very impressed by this story.

If I wanted to be nitpicky, then I might point out there 
isn't much to the plot that does not directly involve their 
relationship.  In other words it seems to lack a backdrop to 
put the story in perspective.  Maybe this is asking too much 
of erotic fiction?  Anyhow, this missing element did not 
interfere with my ability to enjoy this story.  It is just 
something that occurred to me as I was reflecting on the 
story in a more analytic fashion.
