I don't think I've ever read anything so hot and steamy. Wow. Totally amazing. (Guess Pam didn't make it to her class, huh?)

Aww, they're so cute.

I hope it's okay that I'm leaving another review, but I wanted to add my two cents to the previous review: I do buy it, simply because - put bluntly - been there, done that. Exact same thing. And I'd been in Pam's exact same situation (read: longterm relationship, head over heels for my Jim). So while it may not be the norm for most people, I would vouch for the realism just because - again - been there, done exactly that.
Author's Response: Thank you :)

"She's trying to stay quiet but the feeling makes her whimper. He is fueled even by the smallest sound from her and kisses her deeper. She knows this is not right. She shouldn't let him keep going if she isn't ready."
This paragraph--indeed this whole scene--is a contradiction. Either Pam IS ready for sex with Jim, or she isn't. And if she IS ready, and is still saying no, then Pam is a tease and I lose respect for her. The whole thrust (ahem) of this story so far is about Pam being honest with herself about her feelings. If she is honest enough with her feelings to break up with Roy, then she should be honest enough to know that what she is doing is setting up Jim (and herself) for sex and then denying him. Not fair to either of them.
Why all this hesitation, this ambiguity? These people are in their mid-twenties but acting like a couple of teenagers who have never had sex. Grownups, especially women who have been in what is to all intents and purposes a marriage for several years, know darn well what's going to happen when two attractive and scantily clad people climb into bed, and no amount of coy "you're over the line" is going to stop Jim. Not if he's the man I think he is, anyway. He's savvy enough to know Pam is turned on--he's a man with particular insight into this one woman. Even if she's lying to herself, HE would call her on it.
Sorry, I ain't buying this scenario.

Hi NeverEnoughJam:
First, thank you for your review. It is interesting to hear a different point of view.
Here is my take on it: I think as far as relationships go, Pam sort of is an adolescent. She has only been with Roy and the last time she was in a new relationship, this is what you did. You made out, but you didn't let him go all the way so fast. I think she would consider herself "loose" if she jumped into bed with Jim and made him her second lover right away. She is sort of losing her virginity again.
I think Pam is teasing him, but not on purpose or in a mean way. She is conflicted because being with him feels so good and she can't help but keep kissing him. She is too scared to ask to "mess around" because she knows it will only prove how inexperienced she is in a new relationship.
Pam is making changes in her life but I don't think that automatically means she is completely in control of what she wants. It takes time and I think the sexual side of her would be one of the last to catch up because it is usually a touchy subject.
Jim knows what she is doing but he is in love with her so, of course, he will wait if he has to and he actually suggests doing other things because he knows it will take the edge off what they are feeling even if Pam is too shy to ask for it.
Again, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this story, but thank you for the review.

Well. I don't know if I blinked once as I read this. At least I don't remember doing it... I may have been, uh, distracted.
So you can probably guess that I liked this. A lot.
Author's Response: Thank you :)

I swear to you, this completely works - seriously. God, I wish this were the case! But um - yeah, when are you going to let us in on what happened last weekend?? Because inquiring minds want to know.....

I think it's brilliant the way you created a backstory around this - it was excellent as a stand alone, but it's even better now. Love it!

Sigh. That is all: Sigh. Lovely.

I'll say it again - wow. This is just so....real, which is what makes it so good - just like the show. I really love this.
Date: October 05, 2006 07:08 am Title: Chapter 4
Wow. Okay, I've read a lot of fanfic and have written my fair share of smut, but this? I'm blushing - like, even my collarbone is red. And it's because this is so realistic and so well done that I could totally see it happening....and now I'm blushing again. I love the last line, by the way - very Pam. Guh.
Date: October 05, 2006 07:03 am Title: Chapter 3
You have their voices down so well - loved his joke about the stripper. And the shy/awkwardness of when they're face to face is great, too.
On to the next chapter, where I hope Pam will so NOT be good....
