First of all, I want to thank you all for the inspiring and humbling reviews you have written for this story. I have never received so many before! I do not think words can describe how moved I am by your support.
I also want to apologize for the absurdly long wait I put you through. Do trust me when I say that it was not done out of cruelty or a lack of appreciation for your support. Other responsibilities (one of which involved scrounging enough money to pay my landlord, whom I am convinced is a wolf in sheep's clothing just dying for the chance to pounce and devour) prevented me from writing anything close to the quality that I think you readers deserve. (I am still not completely satisfied with this chapter, but it's not easy to please a perfectionist and I think you have waited long enough!)
That being said, I must warn you that the following chapter may not be exactly what many of you were expecting. It does certainly require raising the rating, but may not contain the level of mischief and madness I think many of you were hoping to see.
I did start writing something of that nature, and perhaps I will post it separately one day, but it just did not feel quite as honest as this ending did (if that makes sense?). So, as of this evening this story is COMPLETE.
Also, this is my first time publishing smut. I feel a bit strange about it, actually. It seems so...private and intimate. But, I made you all a promise to post that sort of ending and I keep my promises.
(Besides, how could I resist when so many of you said please?)
Yours,
NarrowBridge
