    I've held off on reviewing because, though I understood your reasoning, I haven't been enjoying the ride. I actually didn't fully read the chapter before last (first time I've sacrificed the potential of plot to save my feelings). The crux of the matter is that you're an excellent writer, so there's an emotional connection to your characters. For me, Hermione in particular. I'd be unable to stomach a spanking under these conditions. Physical punishment for my behaviour from a spouse, I mean. It will take me longer to forgive Lucius than it will obviously take Hermione to, so I might just hold of on reading for a few chapters until things become a bit... fluffier. Pathetic, eh? Oh well. Please don't take this as critisism. As I said, I understand your intentions, so I'm not trying to censor you based on my preferences. I just felt like sharing. :) Can't wait to catch up in a few weeks. I'm a big fan of your stories and I'm sure this one will end up just as satisfying.

    I hope Hermione gets the opportunity to tell Lucius exactly what kind of a jackass he has been. The fault does not all belong to her. I'd like to see a little bit of shame on his face. And please done let Hermione give in too quickly. I do so love her attitude!

    This was a good chapter. I guess the last one was so upsetting b/c there had not been any affection to balance it off. He's not even trying to woo her and he doesn't seem to care for her at all. To me, Lucius hadn't given much of anything to Hermione. Yes, she has a room, but he hasn't sacrificed anything for her. What concessions has he made? She's made all of the sacrifices and he'll be the one to reap the rewards. I still feel like they need to talk. Yes, Hermione has a viper's tongue, but Lucius did force her into this marriage which makes him the villian and he constantly criticizes her. She only has his company b/c he's cut her off from the world and constant criticism seriously wears one down. I wish he would explain why he is teaching her the things he is. Plus, he hasn't even asked her if she is willing to play the dutiful wife for him in his very prejudiced world and attend tedious functions. Plus, he sees her as less than him b/c she's a muggle born. That's the worst part. I look forward to their progress.

    Hi there. There only thing I can think of is for him to actually say some of the things he's thinking. But, unfortunately, neither of them is really ready for that. lol In this case, I think it will have to be Hermione who finds it in herself to WANT to better understand him. She's the lion backed into the corner in all this, so it will take her own bravery to force him to be more honest, see her as a capable adult, and learn how to relax some. But, hey, that's just my opinion. lol You're doing a fantastic job with the story, so just keep doing what you're doing and I will keep reading and enjoying! :-) Thanks, HG4eva

    Unfortunately, he needs to really talk to her. She is unsure of herself and is therefore lashing out at him. He did describe her well, she's too passionate to just walk away. But really, unwilling, grudging sex is not as fun as both of them getting into it. He thinks she should be grateful to him, but he's not.

    Offer her the chance to spank him back, of course! You KNOW she would just have to start asking questions, she can't help it. LOL. Maybe he could explain that he really is interested in pleasure and with her, it might give a bit of more common ground?

    ch 11 - ahh, so now she does realize *she* could end up spanking him one day. Good sign! I enjoyed reading Lucius' thoughts abuot the boredom of bachelorhood, and that he had wanted excitement in his life, which he now has with Hermione. I'm sure she will eventually teach him what cricket really is, and other Muggle pleasures. Thanks for the new chapter!!

    Chapter 11: I find it interesting that Lucius was lamenting the attention he garnered from the women. It made me think of my friend J, he is about 8 years younger than me, sexy as sin, long silky black hair, olive skin, abs that are just....OMG....yet his favorite pasttime is to hang out with me watching movies, a 33 year old single mother of 3. I ask him why he wastes his time when he has women flocking around him like flies on...well, anyhow....he says he cant bear the shallowness of it all, women who see him as a face and nothing more. Beauty with substance...rare isnt it? I guess I admire realism in fiction. I enjoy the real day to day life, the good, the bad, the ugly. Sure, these characters are magical but does it always have to be ALL about the magic?

    I think that is part of why Im enjoying this fic. Sure, I wanna slap Hermione, but she is dealing with a situation forced upon her with no options. Lucius I tend to empathize with...she was being a right bitch to him when he WAS beign very tender, very careful of her and her feelings about their...mating. Though i tend to always empathize with the villains...surely there is some psychological analysis for someone like me....


    Anyhow, I like it =). I think, unfortunately, that Lucius has no choice but to take a hard line with her, she's too stubborn. In this situation he will not catch more flies with honey. His best bet is to break her down so he can build her back up, I for one look forward to reading it. Just please dont put him in bright yellow...Ive been cataloguing a huge donation of superhero collectables and around 30,000 comic books that have to be input, assessed, numbered and prepped individually...when you described the green I immediately imagined the Green Arrow....my imagination immediately goes to superheroes....though Lucius would make a perfect Thor......

    Chapter 10:

    I'm sure this is no surprise to you! I loved Chapter 10, it was very, very hot and I was pleased to see Lucius re establish balance to their relationship. From my perspective it's a matter of respect, he's been very empathetic, trying to understand and provide comfort to her in regards to how she was feeling given the unwanted marriage and being coerced into it, providing niceties for her like the books, the rooms, his approach to de-virgining her. Hell, I

    I wonder if Lucius understands what situation he and Snape have put Hermione in. I also wonder why Hermione won't just tell him in plain words so Lucius' little cat brain understands completely. I think that in and of itself would put Lucius in his place. Perhaps not. But it would be fun to see. Thanks for another chapter!

    Very creative with the cream. I wonder if Lucius got that from old Severus

    Another excellent chapter! I hope that we eventually get to see Hermione enjoy the "corporal punishment" that Lucius is so fond of himself. Let's be honest, I would let that man do pretty much whatever he could dream up to me, and gladly! *drool* Let's hope Hermione begins to realize and revel in all of his delicious (and kinky) traits (while still not forgetting about his rather dubious....and admittedly, still delicious, ones as well)
