What a romp this was. The D/s dynamic, the learning curve for both The Lady and Orcus, and the gentleness of the story overall. Orcus really did his homework for her rehabilitation period and gave her what she actually needed, not what she thought she needed. For all his bluster, he's really a softy at heart. And Aviana, The Lady, was so earnest in her "I don't know what I don't know, but I want to learn and do better." It was wonderful to see a character realize her flaws for what they are and how they impact others and the desire to do better by them.
