Oh dogs here's hoping. My beta got back with brief thoughts about the overall story and said something along the lines of "the sex was hot while I was reading and then I thought about it too much and was all lolwhut" which is...pretty much the response I'm striving for. =D Fingers crossed most readers have a similar reaction.

I'm tempted to use part of yesterday's words for tomorrow's snippet, but I'm worried that without any context it's gonna sound even more weird than it actually is. eta: actually, no, it's gonna be pretty fuckin' weird any way I present it *laugh-cry emoji*
