There’s just something about her childlike attitude sometimes that makes him associate her with a young kid not even at school yet somehow, and it feels depraved in a not sexy way to imagine her having sex.

Ahhhahaha, that's such a perfect description of Luna.

It was so interesting to see Hugo fall under someone else's spell. Not that I'd want to read that all the time because his cool detachment and control freakishness is a big part of his appeal. But the thing about his encounters and the way you write them is that every sexual escapade feels organic to the female character(s) he's involved with. And who wouldn't be fascinated by Luna? She's childlike and enigmatic, and you never know how much she really believes and how much she's putting on, and you capture that so well here. I really enjoyed the push-pull tension of Hugo wanting to retain control but also wanting the release of letting go. Kudos on another fantastic addition to this series!!

P.S. The thought of Hugo camping is cracking me up like crazy. XD

Thank you, honey! I am glad you enjoyed this part, and I appreciate your assistance resolving my gut feelings on the end etc. I can't see many women who would cross Hugo's path and cause that type of reaction. LOL Luna is pretty unique. *grin* And hahaha yeah camping+hugo/=/OTP. :D
