By my clock, you only posted the fic less than six hours ago, and it is a holiday. Give readers a break and a chance. I doubt anyone is in "stunned silence" over the pretense of non-con going on. Your own note at the beginning told me that wasn't the case before I even started reading, and I'd suppose most readers are savvy enough to get it beforehand, too. More like holiday activities is delaying your feedback, and maybe, unfairly, the fact that your pairing is not a popular one.
For the record, I liked it, liked the insight of Nathan's defensiveness and offensiveness being a cover for attraction. It gave what is basically a PWP, not my favorite kind of reading, some welcome depth. If you did wanted to shock or surprise your readers, however, you de-fanged yourself with your note in the headers.
