Well, the first thing I could think of to say was "...Wow." This was, in my opinion, a wonderful story. I must admit I was leery of it when I saw the "Anthro" tag--too often people just don't know how to properly use such inhuman characters, relying more on "omg furries!" than on actual storytelling.

You did a wonderful job of casually incorporating such characters without making it seem ridiculous or strange. I loved the conflicting personalities, the pronounced attraction of opposites, how everything seemed casual and not at all forced or overplayed. If that makes any sense. It's easy for someone to draw too much attention to something, and make it seem like they're beating the reader over the head with the "This is not a normal occurrence" statement--while you avoided that easily while still making sure it's known just how unusual this little tryst was.

This is a story that could be continued to great things, but one which is also perfect just the way it is, leaving the reader to decide how things will eventually turn out for the characters.

In short: One very satisfying read.

I'm reviewing again, since my last review got erased.

This was so wonderful! Your details are great and I loved every part of the story. It was hot and just made me think "wow" I loved it and I'd love to read more stories of this type. I really like your writing style.

I've never read anything quite like this, but I like it. Very good job.
