Summary:

 A Special Thank You to TokenBlackGirl for the AMAZING banner.

 One night in Vegas changes the luck of two strangers.

Grace is a good girl to the bone, though she loves her job as a teacher she wants some excitement and for her twenty-fifth birthday she wants to shed that good girl image. Not be predictable Grace but a sexy wanton vixen,so her friends take her to Las Vegas, where her life is changed forever.

Kevin is an NFL all star and all around player. He is in Vegas because he was told to lay low after sleeping with the wife of one of his team mates, he has to figure out a way to change his image and quick.

 Sometimes what happens in Vegas shouldn't stay in Vegas and in Kevin and Grace's case it wont.

Summary:

*** This story will be removed for editing in preparation for publication. ***

Kendra Dentaris is scared of her luck. At twenty-nine, she's the head graphic designer of a popular gaming website, the brand-new owner of a gorgeous downtown condo, and independent to the bone. And she may be in a relationship that's actually going somewhere. That's if Chase McGuire would stop cheating on her.

According to her best friend Prince, he's totally going to propose. That had to be why he invited her out to a remote village out in western Pennsylvania for the weekend. But Kendra takes a wrong turn and the life she knew before literally disappears.

Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 46

It's 8:30 a.m. here. And now I'm feeling a bit sick to my stomach as I fight the tears back.

I asked for this. We all wanted to know. And now we do.

No other words are coming except...thanks for the update.

I'm ready to get to the other side and see DeLeon get his happy ending now.

No! Damn it, Kendra fell! IT, I'm sorry but there's no way you could be so sadist as to make us wait another month before we know how this pans out. I need to know!!

Yes, yes, thank you to the two artists for helping you get this new chapter!

Wow! And it's not even my birthday! YEAH, IT!! Deleon....yum yum umumum yum. That's right, Prince! Back the fuck off!

What's Tabitha hiding?

Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 36

My girl said, I love you, 4 times. FOUR TIMES! and what happened next?

But he held his silence, his hands still on her lower back, his swallow audible as he tried to figure out what to do.

"And it's okay that you don't feel the same."

He opened his jaw, but no words could escape.

--

Uh huh. And now, you want us to leave some reviews?! Well, maybe no words could escape from me either.

What a place to stop this story after all this time? How can you do this to us?! You are soooo lucky I live across the pond. The best I retaliation I can do for now: I revoke Taylor Kinney from you!

So DeLeon is the new deputy?! Hm. I guess he'll make it safe for her to live in that hicktown, eh?

Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 42

Ah, this is how I love to wake up: with an email alert telling me that there's an update from I.T.

You know I loves me some DeLeon but that torture he just put her through was over the top and (at first) didn't make any sense. But thankfully, he explained:

"This whole time I was thinkin' you was here for Pa an' that's it-" he said, breathless, his lips against hers.

Well played, I.T. I almost lost love for DeLeon. I didn't want to keep caring if he was just going to be a sadist asshole for the rest of their relationship. But his response was exceptable. However, *now* that he has heard and made declarations of love, I hope he's ready to fully embrace it and *show* it so that there is never be another doubt in Kendra's head again. It's time for her bounty. She's really gone through too much and done so much for the Halperns.

Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 44

So I see more revelations are coming down the pike, eh? Sigh. And now there's 'panic and blood' that may end Kenny's moments of 'glowing'. Great. Just great. No me gusta, mami!

Lord...Sometimes, the literary crack gets a bit bitter in the back of the throat after smoking. But obviously, I ain't putting the pipe down.

It's BEEN time, DeLeon. We're all waiting to know what the hell happened that broke you!

By the way, am I going to get in trouble for thinking of the scene in the Thor movie when several security men and medical personnel tried to sedate him in the hospital as I read the part where DeLeon was getting manhandled?

Title: Chapter 16: Confrontation Part 2

My lord, but you are a talented writer! I haven't been this entranced with a story in ages.

Things have definitely heated up. So now we know that Vladimir is the 4th man to ever make Bowie come (since you commented in an earlier chapter that Joey was the third). Interesting differences between these two lovers. While Joey certainly knows how to scratch her itch, it seems Vladimir is the kind of man (being?) who is the cause as well as the cure for that itch.

So as patient as Vlad has been (for the last 15 chapters!!) was there a reason he took Bowie now? Obviously, he could barely control his desires for her, but was there another reason--did he 'need' to put his scent on her, say, for protection?

Thank you for being a very considerate drug dealer and doling out these crack-filled chapters so quickly. We certainly need our fix. I know we can't get too greedy and expect treats like this every few days (oh but that would be heaven!) but we ladies can dream, that is, until you give us more.

Title: Chapter 23: The Beginning is the End is the Beginning

He put it on her! Damn hard and good! Still, I'm curious about his timing. I have so many questions? She was late coming to him. Did he 'summon' her? And with her only in a shirt?! I thought she would have tried to keep distance through some sense of professional formality that she has tried before.

Why did he do it then? Is there a timeclock he's worried about or the Others that are after her? Why exactly now did he 'have to' bite her? So how can Joey, Bailey, Master Yoshiro and Hiroshi help her now? Or will they even still want to help her after the Bite?

Vlad didn't even take his clothes off in front of her. The man was just waiting for Bowie...nekkid.

I very much liked his tricks, esp. the fading in and out like missing movie frames. Still, I wonder why he chose to do 'that' then? And funnily enough, it felt like this chapter's Vlad was more like the Vlad in the very first few chapters--like I don't know him at all...again.

So much I'm dying to know! Vlad has got me all worked up again! Love him!

Title: Chapter 31: Grin of the Trickster

So, I was on my daily lurking schedule of The Chamber, hoping to find a favored story or a new one of substance and low and behold, Farewell is back!! I had to go put on some Kenny G, light candles and pour my glass of wine to settle into a proper reunion with my story.

Obviously, it's been a w hile for me. I forgot how badass Bowie can be, especially during her transfomation. Reading about Cassius' eyes did not let wine sit well (I'm easily thrown by a little bit of gore). So, I turned off Kenny G, mid-15 minute sax solo and went for the crackers to settle my stomach.

Yeah...this ain't Twilight. Thank fucking God.

I hope we won't wait too long before the next installment. And I'll remember: no wine or Quiet Storm music while reading. This story is magnificent and unpredictable!

Title: Chapter 5: Lay in My Bed

Secrets, secrets... damn. How bad is Cooper's secret going to be? Guess we'll have to wait and see. But with the speed that you are cranking through these chapters, maybe it won't be too long, hm?

What a chapter! You excel at the little details without bogging down the meter of the narration.

I don't think I've mentioned it yet (hm...have I reviewed this story before?) but thank you for making Brandon Routh your Simon. That's a whole lotta man!

Title: Chapter 7: Waking Dream

Damn, damn, damn...

Talking about making a character believable. After all that sexing, then all that time waiting for Moliere to come back- Simon STILL hadn't broken up with Amber?! WTF!!! And yet, yeah, how realistic.

He is working a nerve...and now, 7 weeks?! Poor, poor Moliere. My heart breaks for her. This ain't good. But the story is delish!

Reviewer: islandlass Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 14: Bad Medicine

I read this last night and I have to admit, I am uncomfortable voicing anything about this chapter. Reason: I am completely fascinated by Cooper and yet, a big part of me (the part that has known and pathetically loved the Coopers of my past) knows that boy is just trouble. He's damaged goods and wrecks opportunities given his way b/c he doesn't know how to man up. So, to clarify, I feel uncomfortable b/c I've been burned by Coopers before...wishing and wanting to slap and hug them, as another reviewer articulated.

I don't *want* to be interested in him. But the fact is, I am. At least, your tale is a safe space to watch and learn all there is about Cooper.

You write damaged people very well. I wonder if he will get forgiveness and salvation.

I won't bother to ask if he deserves it. That would push me back emotionally 10 years.

Title: Chapter 15: Pale White

Ok, I had to read a couple of chapters over because I'm a bit confused about Cooper. He's clearly obsessed with Simon's life. He wants Simon's parents to be his own. He wants Simon's life. He wants Simon's girl. And he just screwed Simon's ex, Amber.

It's more like he's in love with Simon's life. And years ago, he had the opportunity to get with Moliere while she was drunk and vulnerable. But he chose to not manipulate the situation because 'he's not hardwired for permanency...or a lifetime'. So, how is it that he's 'in love' with Moliere? Does his love mean something totally different than forever?

And also, if he dated/fucked a slew of Moliere copies, how is it that Simon nor Moliere caught on to it? Your best friend dating a lot of black women that have 'that' much in common with Moliere would be easy to read.

 

Riddle me that, IT!

Title: Chapter 16: Another Man's Treasure

Oookay. So Moliere has Simon, Cooper, and now Dr. Richards sniffing her panties. Her pheremones are working overtime. I guess we'll just go wherever you're taking us with this story.

Reviewer: islandlass Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 17: More Than You'll Ever Know

It's funny how this story is turning out. Obviously, it a tale of love for Simon and Mo, hopefully, with the expectant HEA. But the complexity of Cooper does pull at one's attention. His flaws (lord...his damn FLAWS!!!!) are infuriating but quite realistic. Does it draw one away enough from Simon and Mo? That's for each reader to answer.

I feel for the guy, I really do. He needs help. He needs to find himself and maybe a woman could be an extension of that. I think a separate search for himself and love story would be hard to do but ultimately, it would make a very rich character study and possibly, a more addictive tale to consume? Hm?

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 5 part 2

OMG, I could kill my computer. I just wrote this detailed review and it disappeared after my page got refreshed by accident!!

Take 2:

The conversation between Dove and Xavier before the handjob was well-crafted choreography- like a tango with words. I was happily dragged into their dance until Xavier's subterfuge was revealed. I felt like *I* was the one being conned rather than Dove. For a moment, the briefest of moments, it detracted from the sensuality of the scene. There will be repercussions, no doubt. But you quickly brought me back to the emotions in play.

I was surprised how quickly Dove moved beyond the question of their sexual possibility (or should I say probability? maybe a better word is inevitability?).

By the time she had him against the bookshelf she stopped wondering/worrying about his attraction to her and transformed into a conquestor, despite the fact that she had not even kissed another man in 10 years much less held a stranger's cock. That was unexpected, considering all that was going on in her head before.

Looking forward to more!

Author's Response:

No pickup occurred on Monday. He rode the shuttle. However we did spend an excessive amount of time together this week. More closure achieved. Still stinging a little, however it's better. It really is.
