Beautiful story.  Just the way I'm sure we all feel he really is.  Warms my heart, makes me smile and cry.  Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words!  I'm so glad you're enjoying Anna & Rob's journey.  Who knows, of course, what Rob is really like--I hope I'm doing him justice.  :)

Thank you for reading, and reviewing!  Reviews make it all worthwhile. :)  Another chapter is coming next week.

Cheers!

So, I'm guessing he liked the shoes, huh? Tee-hee! :)  Vincent is such a snake.  I was hoping that we had seen the last of him, but, alas, we had not.  I can't wait to see what happens next.  Great update!

Author's Response:

Hee--yes, the shoes made quite the impression!  Thank you so much for your kind words!  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.  Vincent is a snake--he just doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. 

Thank you for reading and reviewing!  I love hearing what you think!  More coming soon...

Grrrrr... pre-nup. Oh, I get why Nick wants him to sign it, but damn - if he doesn't want to, then pfffft. 

YAY bath time! *swoon* 

Headed to the next one!

I'm usually a lurker but I just had to tell you that I kinda squee'd when I read her brother lived in Darmstadt since I'm working there and live not too far away.

Author's Response:

Welcome!  I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter.  My brother lives just outside Darmstadt and I've been there several times.  Lovely city! 

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!  I really appreciate hearing what you think.  Another chapter is on the way soon!

This was a very sweet chapter.  Anna is getting to know Rob's family much better.  She is much more "corfortable" around his sisters and mother.  They appear to be able to laugh and joke very easily with each other.  And for me his mother had the line of the chapter “I just meant someday, a few years from now…whenever the two of you decide you’ve had enough…practice.”  This was just so funny to me and she definitely knows her son very well.

And Vicky slipped in the shoes.  That was just an adorable thing for Vicky to do for Anna.  And Rob's response to the shoes was - well - just so Rob with his Anna.

So Vicky thought that David was cute.  Does this mean we might see interaction between these two?  "I thought Vicky’s eyes were going to pop out of her head when she got a good look at my keeper, and as we followed Clare and Liz, she leaned into me.  Well, at least he’s good looking.”

The reveal of Vincent's back story was interesting.  I can't help but feel he might make another appearance.

As I read this chapter I began to think that things appear so calm.  I can't shake my suspicion that perhaps a major disagreement or obstacle is on their horizon.  Things have been too easy going for our two guys.  Hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for writing this beautiful story.  I hope I convey to you just how much I enjoy it and how talented I believe you are.  As usual, I can't wait until the next update.

Hi hun!  Thank you so much.  :)  So glad you enjoyed!  Clare definitely knows her son, and loves teasing Anna about it.  And Vicky knew those shoes just had to be with Anna...but Rob may know more about them than he lets on... ;)

Vincent got what was coming to him, but I bet he's not very fond of Nick at the moment. 

Thank you for your kind words, and for reviewing--you know how much I love hearing what you think.  WFE premiere is up next!  Should be interesting...  ;)

Loved the chapter...and the shoes.  I do believe I need a pair of those!  Now, if I could only afford them....hmmmmm. :)  Rob's family is just too much.  They completely crack me up.  I agree with Anna.  I'm glad that her bodyguard has a sense of humor. He's going to have to to keep up with her, isn't he? tee-hee!  Anyway, great job, as always!  Looking forward to the next!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! Yes, those shoes are gorgeous.  Wish I could afford them, too!  Hee.  Rob's family loves to tease each other, and since Anna is the newest member, she's a prime target! 

I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter, and thank you for reviewing!  I love to hear what you think.  Another chapter on the way soon!

Oh god I love shoes, I may be old but I still love heels. They still make me feel sexy when ever I wear them. I have a funny shoe story. My mom was whay ahead of her time. She used to wear shoes that we called come fuck me shoes they had high heels and not much more you just slipped them on they made your legs look amazing. Well her knees gave out and she had to get rid of her shoed at a garage sale. Along came a couple who had to be in there 80s and the husband said to the wife we need to buy those shoes. She said I can't walk in those he said just wear them when we have coffee. I thought you go grampa. I am 64 and I still wear heels and don't think I will stop. Love your story.

Author's Response:

Hi Lilly!  Hee--I love shoes, too!  And I love your story about the grandpa--go grandpa, indeed!!

Thank you so much.  I'm glad you're enjoying my story.  :)  Another chapter is on the way--and the shoes MIGHT make another appearance.  ;)

Phew, I thought Rob's mobile had been nicked and was going to be used against him and Annie, I'm so glad he found it. 

That pre-nup was a surprise and rather harsh.  I agree with Anna and Nick that Rob should have one. It shouldn't matter but I can see it from Anna's point of view that it shows people that she's not after his money. It's a shame that these things are necessary at all, it's almost like setting a marriage up to fail before it's even began.

I love being in Rob's head, bless him, he's so consumed with thoughts of Annie, his filter even fails him them, lol.  Mr P, I love him and his 'sage' advice, 'pay attention to your girls, ahem, moods son,' living with 3 women should make him an 'almost' expert, lol.

Another fab chapter.

Author's Response:

Hi Jane!  Well, it's interesting that his mobile was right there on top of the bar, but Nick didn't see it when he went to look for it...hmm, he must have been distracted? ;)  They'll have to discuss the pre-nup again, regardless of Rob's feelings about it.  There are definitely two ways to look at it. 

Yes, Rob gets a little overwrought when he's been away from her for too long, poor boy.  I thought he was going to explode!  Hehehe.  And I just love Mr. P!

Thank you for much for your kind words.  And thank you for reading!  I love hearing what you think!

Another chapter on the way soon!

Hugs,
Barb

 

What a shocker! Poor Annie that pre-nup must have been a sucker punch in the face.

Thanks for posting.

Author's Response:

Can you imagine what Anna must have been thinking during her plane ride?  Ugh.  Luckily, she's made of pretty stern stuff and knew she had to deal with it right away.

Thank you so much for reading, and for reviewing.  I love hearing what you think!  Another chapter is on the way soon!

Awesome chapter m'dear...phew...for once Nick wasn't the TOTAL bad guy!  LOL!  That happens so rarely!  : )

t.

Author's Response:

Hi sweetie!  Thank you so much--I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Yeah, Nick is coming around...gradually. :)

Thank you for reading and for reviewing, hun.  I love your feedback and so appreciate your support!  Another chapter coming soon!

To begin, I think I will use a most appropriate quote from Robert “I fucking loved it!” 

That was one schmexy chapter, Barb.  Definitely deserves the “Warning – Juicy Lemon” and “Panty Poof” stamp!  Desire, need, longing, want, craving, anticipation.  Any one or all exemplify Rob’s feelings for Anna!!  And his anticipation was so evident that even Pete and Steven knew what our boy was thinking.  Just hilarious.  So well written.  You put me right there in his thoughts.   I think I even noticed him fixing himself once or twice.  Might have even heard him snort air through his nose.  Sooo Rob. 

And “Fever.”  Well that was definitely another level for them.  And in public.  Poor Rob – almost broke his zipper!!!  :D 

Loved the fatherly advice.  As usual, Richard was spot on!!

And a playful Nick?  First ever for me!!!!  Well I knew there had to be more.  Just didn’t quite sound like the Nick I read about.   All I needed to do was read a little further.  But – you had me there for a second.  Glad to see Rob respond the way he did about the pre-nup.   The original wording was way overboard.  He trusts her.  She trusts him.  Make it right Nick.  Nuff said!!   

And the girl with the big tits at the attorneys – well hope she gets them caught in the elevator doors.   Fans like that are the reason our boy can’t lead a normal life and enjoy himself.  Yep – I just typed that.  I absolutely can’t stand fans like that.  Sorry.

My favorite line – “All she wants is me—in all my idiotic glory.”  Perfectly explains Anna’s love for Rob.

I really, really enjoyed this update.   Your writing is always a cut above.   And Thank You for taking the time to write for your fans.  I am one of your most devoted.  Please update soon!!!  ;)    You knew I had to say that.  Any of the above adjectives describe my feelings for another update from you.

P.S.   So glad I’ve already contributed to the Fandom’s Fight the Flood!!   “Would love to hear the back story of Rob telling his mates about Anna -- ever thought of doing an outtake on that?”  Thank you for writing this outtake.  I can’t wait.

Author's Response:

Elaine, my dear, you are a joy!  Thank you so, so much for your kind words.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support. 

That pre-nup was something else, but desperate skanks are capable of desperate deeds!  I agree--fans like that drive me nuts.  :)  Rob and Anna have woven a strong bond, though and it will take more than a big-titted bimbo to break it.  Hee!

As always, thank you for reading and for reviewing.  Your support means so much to me!  Another chapter coming soon!

Hugs,
Lattecoug

PS:  And thank you for giving me the inspiration for my outtake!  I really wanted to help out the Flood benefit, but was stuck on what to write until I reread your review.  It was a great idea and I'm glad you enjoyed the result.  There were so many wonderful one-shots by such talented writers in those compilations.  I'm so happy I was able to be a part of it.  :D

 

I absolutely love this story!  It is definitely one of my top favorites.  You have captured all the characters spot-on and I look forward to each new chapter.  

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words!  I'm so glad you're enjoying it.  :)  Rob and Annie still have a few twists ahead on their journey--I hope you continue to enjoy it! 

Thank you for reading and for reviewing.  Your support means so much to me!  Another chapter coming soon!
