Themes and Things

Alexa’s Prompt

I’m behind on NaNoWriMo.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is I think I finally figured out what I’m doing with Alexa’s #UnderGlass prompt. Even more good news? I also think I know what I’m doing with my last story for the ‘She’s on the Bottom’ theme–it’s going to combine my last two prompts in a fun way… I mean, assuming I pull it off. Let’s assume I’ll pull it off 😉

After that I still won’t have hit 50,000 words for the month so I have a few things I’ll finish up (an old NaNo novel I never finished but really liked, for example) and I’ll also get all the stories I’ve written for this typed up and ready for sponsorship.

And then?

We pick a new theme.

I expect to start writing to the new theme around the middle of December. Given all the holidays and such progress will likely be slow until the new year, but every word counts, right? What’s more, I think I’ve narrowed the potential themes down to two choices. Broadly speaking they are:

Circus

Vampires

I mean, we’ll give whichever one I end up going with cooler descriptions when the time comes, but those are the two primary ideas I’m toying with.

Whatcha think?

Oh, and speaking of vampires… I have a little somethin’ I’m going to be sharing on Friday the 13th. Because. 😉

Available for Sponsorship – Of Water

Night praise

Of Water

Mara’s life has imploded and while struggling to stay afloat in a sea of depression, she wades out into the ocean. There, embraced by the water, surrounded by stars and aided by a man who is not just a man, she rediscovers her will to live.

Word Count: 2,278
Kink Level: Vanilla
Prompter: Anna
Under Glass Theme: She’s on the bottom

Excerpt:

When his lips left hers it was to trail a molten path over her throat, across her collar bone. His fingers, his impossibly warm fingers, stroked her thighs until they opened, then stroked her deeper. His head dipped down, licking a patch to her nipple. He rolled it between his lips, sending a dart of golden heat straight to her belly. She sucked in her breath staring, unseeing, up at the night sky. She hadn’t felt like this since Jef–

His thumb pressed down on the hood of her clit at the same time his teeth trapped her nipple between them and tugged. A tsunami of heat filled her, pushing all conscious thought from her mind. She cried out, and arched her back, simultaneously pressing down hard against his hand and up against his mouth. She tangled her fingers in his long, long hair, pulling him tighter against her breast and bucking her lips against his hand.

He nibbled and sucked, pinched and rubbed until, breathless and quivering, she maneuvered him between her thighs.

Poised over her, pressing against her, he gazed down at her. His black eyes were fathomless, his expression inscrutable. She knew, in that moment, when they and the whole world around them held their breath, that he wasn’t human, wasn’t just human, and she didn’t care.

Of Water

Anna's Prompt
Anna’s Prompt

That image is what Anna Kyle sent me when I asked her for an #UnderGlass prompt. My theme for this session of writing under glass is ‘She’s on the Bottom‘ and thus far mostly I’ve interpreted that to mean she is submissive but I wanted to do something a bit different with this one.

For this story, which I’ve titled Of Water, she’s on the bottom means that she’s reached rock bottom. There’s a risk that this tale might be too depressing to be sexy, but I really enjoyed writing it and (SPOILERS!) I was aiming for a light at the end of the tunnel kinda ending. I look forward to hearing people’s reactions once the story is released.

The first draft is finished and is about 3,200 words long. That makes it the first actual short story I’ve written for this short story challenge LOL I’ll type it up and make it available for sponsorship later this week but for now I wanted to offer a bit of an excerpt 🙂

Excerpt from Of Water:

She was drowning in stars. The water lapping at her toes, eating at the sand from beneath her bare feet, was black. A black background which reflected the countless stars and galaxies from the midnight blue dome which surrounded her. Though she wondered at it, it seemed right somehow, that the ocean was darker than the sky. The ocean had long been both her sanctuary and her looking glass–reflecting her moods back at her.

She’d stood here, right here, the day she’d brought Payton home from the hospital. The sun at warmed their shoulders, their faces, as she showed her the seals lounging on the rocks, the gulls pirouetting in the sky.

The morning Jef’s ship came in without him–rogue wave his captain said. Tried everything–the sea had been roiling and grey. Smashing into the rocks, punishing them. Tonight it was dark, nearly still as if it was empty of everything but the star’s cold light–

She, Mara, she was of water. It was her element. Payton, however, Payton was of fire. Raising her alone was difficult, their natures the opposites of one another. It was difficult but they muddled through. Sometimes, when it was at its most challenging, when Payton’s fiery nature steamed all her patience away and calm explanations turned to screaming recriminations, Mara would flee the house, the person she’d become, and seek refuge in the sea. She would plunge herself into its depths, become weightless, free or sit on the rocks, watch the waves, the sea life–sometimes she even thought the seals looked sympathetic to her struggles. Or, one seal anyway.

They fought hard, but they loved harder. No matter what life threw at them, or they at each other, their love never floundered and their good times outnumbered their bad. They’d built sand castles on this beach, and bonfires. Memories. A life.

Then cancer had stolen it all away.

…sounds pretty depressing right? And it gets worse before it gets better but I think the journey is a beautiful one just the same 🙂

September Under Glass Update

September is over, but writing under glass with the “She’s on the bottom” theme goes on… Still, I thought you might like a short update, and perhaps a bit of an excerpt 🙂

Last month I wrote a total of 16 hours of erotica.

During that time I finished the first draft of a novella tentatively entitled The Coolest Wife Ever (previously known as Twin Magic) and added about 11,000 words to my kinky post-apocalyptic “short” (haha!) which has the working title The Last Men in the World.

I think The Last Men in the World will need at least another 7k before it’s done. Crazy. I’m not so awesome at this short story thing these days, am I?

I’m no longer accepting prompts for the “She’s on the bottom” theme, but I have four more to write for before we pick a new theme. Two images, two ideas.

  • Pony play and fairies
  • Pegging

(I think I might be able to combine those)

Also:

I also need to write this year’s Christmas story (which just so happens to be a spin-off from my story in Demons, Imps and Incubi).

My point is, I don’t think we’ll be looking at a new theme before December, but you never know… you never know.

In the meantime, here’s a short excerpt from The Coolest Wife Ever. Enjoy!

Ethan padded down the hallway toward his room. It was late, the house was cast in shadows and the carpet muffled the sound of his footsteps. This, he thought, is how horror movies start. An unsuspecting man is on his way from the shower to his bedroom when suddenly BAM! he’s hit upside the back of his head with something heavy and crumples soundlessly to the ground, a growing crimson stain seeping into his beige carpet…

Caught up in his story, Ethan had to force himself to keep his pace slow and relaxed–Deirdre would never let him live it down if she knew he’d let his imagination carry him away with it. Again.

Faint honey-coloured light spilled out from the open door of the spare room. Ethan peeked in as he passed. Deirdre’s sister Ann had been staying with them for a few days while she looked for a place of her own. She was in there now, sprawled out on the bed reading a book. Her lamp’s weak illumination shadowed as much as it lit and he wondered how she could see the words well enough to read them. She looked up and waved. Clutching the towel around his waist with one hand, Ethan waved with the other. “Goodnight,” he said, continuing down the hall even as Ann’s responding ‘night came to him.

The next door was his. His and Deirdre’s. Uncharacteristically, it was closed and as he reached for the knob his imagination plunged him back into the brutal world of a horror movie and flashes of all the terrible scenes that might greet him on the other side.

None of his imaginings even came close to reality.

The only light in the room came from the lamp on Dee’s night stand and she’d draped a sheer scarf over it to further diffuse the light. Even so, the way she was standing in front of it meant Ethan could see her silhouette clearly. The light shone through her dark red hair, making a reddish halo around her shadowed face. It shone, too, through the flimsy negligee she was wearing, emphasizing the curve of her hips and swell of her breasts in a way nudity could not.

“Hmm,” she said, and he saw a quick flash of pink as she licked her lips. “You are wearing far too much.”

Ethan looked down at the towel wrapped around his hips. It was the only thing he was wearing–the only thing between his swelling cock and Dee’s gaze. “I am?”

Holy crap, Ethan thought, I sound like an idiot, asking ‘I am?’ like some moron in a porno who doesn’t know what’s going to happen in the next scene. He knew what was going to happen, he was just surprised. Initiating sex wasn’t really Dee’s style. And now here he was, messing it up when she finally did.

“Take it off,” she commanded, her voice husky.

Ethan dropped the towel and it pooled at his feet with a thud.

Dee stepped toward him, running her manicure over the washboard of his stomach. Her touch, thought light, was confident and when she pinched his nipple he reached for her to return the favour.

“No,” she said, holding a finger up between them. “I decide.”

I don’t think so, a voice in Ethan’s mind rebelled, but he shushed it. He was intrigued and wanted to see where this was leading. “That so?” he said.

“That’s so,” she agreed, wrapping her fingers around his cock.

She stroked him a few times, slowly, teasing, and he had to resist the urge to duck his head and kiss her pouty lips, but resist he did. Then, just as he was getting into the rhythm of her hand, Dee kicked the towel at his feet into a makeshift cushion and knelt on it.

Holy shit! he thought. Dee never–but then she was. Tangling his hand in her hair he looked down just as she, mouth open, ready to take him inside, looked up. When their eyes met a shock went through him that was anything but sexual.

It was not his wife with his prick balls-deep in her mouth, it was her twin sister!

Dun dun dun!
