Ah! I love the touch of vulnerability he shows. Wonderful.
Response from shefa (Author of Take This Longing)
Thank you for reviewing! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. :)
Awwwwwww that is all sorts of sugar and sweet and everything wonderful! My favorite line is “It is just as well, then, as my heart has already been given, and surely you don’t have room in there for two…”

*grins... I love that, too... I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for reviewing...
The bed was laid with soft cotton sheets and luxurious feather blankets just begging to be warmed by more than the crackling fire.~Sighs happily.~And then he laughed. Joyful, jubilant even, the sound of his laughter and the image of the smile that accompanied it lit his face and transformed it. ~Smiles knowingly and swoons.~“It is just as well, then, as my heart has already been given, and surely you don’t have room in there for two…” ~Faints dead away with a silly romantic grin in place.~

You have such a way with words. The last two paragraphs especially stand out as some of the most romantic sentiment I've ever read.

Seduction with words, followed by seduction in deed. Elegantly written.
Response from shefa (Author of Take This Longing)
Thank you so much! I appreciate the review.
i love the allusion to two hearts trapped inside a person's chest -- it pops up in quite a few poems and it is so apt. :) Nice job. Thanks for writing.
Response from shefa (Author of Take This Longing)
Thank you -- the exchange of hearts always seems to me to be such a beautiful and apt metaphor for loving. I appreciate your review!
Very sweet ending. Nice story.
