They had been doing this dance for awhile now, a dance that his translated inner monologue might be best described as a demon pursuing his altogether out of reach angel. But he always was given to being a bit overly theatrical. He was and wasn't surprised at his success because Blacks weren't failures, which struck him as odd at still being able to think that way considering all the failure his life had encompassed. Still, women, even a woman as young as this one, apparently, were well within his range of things to attain. Although it wasn't as simple as that, because she was different and so was he, now, after so much tragedy and heart break. She was his second chance at being fully human and a man, something he was very aware of at the moment as, for the first time, he reached into her golden, velvety warmth and touched heaven itself.

Thanks. I was a little unsure about this one and have almost taken it down a half dozen times which is something I just don't do, at least not since the debacle with Sacrifice.

I was surprised it didn't have any other comments by anyone else...

I am both spoiled by you guys and rather insecure about my writing, hence the waffling and near removal.

Don't worry. I know the feeling. On the one hand there are people raving at me about how well I write, and on the other hand I just don't see it myself... I have this suspicion it's a common problem.

I read rather a lot more than I write and I feel like my writing is limited in talent, rushed and ill conceived when I compare myself to others. If its a common problem to pick at yourself, well... ok, but I can't imagine ever getting cocky about it because there are very few pieces or chapters that I look at and think, you know I really, really like that.

Oh very good, you're very good at writing Sirius point of view. It was very beautiful.

Oh how did I miss this one? Caught between his eago and his need for redemption lol I'm left wanting to read more to see which one wins. Wonderful.
