I was asked for NC-17, but was unable to write it no matter how I went about it. It felt wrong. So I went back to the first two stories and I realized that the character's were at a starting point, not as far along as would make a sex scene appropriate. And as Jaded so lovingly said. I give y'all NC-17 and will do so again. Sorry if anyone is disappointed. I just felt that the emotional connection was more important than the physical.
