Yay!! I'm so happy you liked it and didn't let the fact that it was Marian/Etienne scare you away. And I'm glad the restraint worked like I wanted it to--I just couldn't imagine Marian ever being 'okay' with a sexual experience with a man unless he could be in denial about it most of the time, considering his attitude when Deniz comes out and that's what I wanted to show with the restraint, partly at least. And part of me just loves dominant!Etienne. Oh, I think I've fallen just a little bit for him.

Don't go back to France, Etienne! No!

Thank you so much, hon! ♥
