Blowing the tension away [MFF] [First Person]

For the accidental reader who read some of my last other posts, this is a snippet from the book I'm writing. It still involves the magical golden whistle, but is now written from the perspective of the main character, Brenda Cummings.

I never figured David would be more nervous than I feel, but as soon as he walks in, he reminds me of an awkward teenager. To be fair, knowing you’ll have to please two women at the same time must be quite the cross to bear. I love the way he looks. He must be well over six foot three, with his long thick dark hair almost falling to his shoulders. The generous laugh with which he introduced himself to me showed a perfect row of white teeth, and he’s got the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. I can totally picture him and Lisa getting it on together, which is technically only a few minutes away. It’s clear he’s not used to being this awkward, but his impressive stature has to get used to the tension in the room. Read more »

Whistle blower part II: Show off [exh][MF][reluc]

This is the second stand-alone story I've posted about the Golden Whistle. I'll post a link to part 1 in the comments.

It’s a few years later and Joe Checulo has ranked up. He is now working as a detective. Every now and then, he still hits the streets, but a lot of his time is spend sitting behind a desk. Boston is getting uneased. As everywhere else in the world, the beginning of a new century has stirred up working classes. In the lower-class areas of the city, policemen are required to pair up when they hit the streets. Young men are rioting in small groups and young women are making themselves heard. Rumour has it women are even thinking about voting, although that will of course never be realized. Even the thought of it makes Joe laugh. He is cracking case ‘Walnut’ and is stuck in his thinking. The office is empty, everybody else has gone home. Read more »

Whistle blower [MF]

My second post. I'm writing a book about a golden whistle that has magical powers. Before I decided to make a real book out of it, I had written down some stories, that now provide the 'legend' background. Hope you enjoy, love to hear your thoughts.

It’s the year 1899. The end of a century is nearby and society in Boston is getting ready for a new era. Factories are everywhere and money is being made throughout all social classes. One class in particular is doing well: the higher middle class. Owners of factories and shops have lots of money to spend and are forming their own group. This group is mainly settling in Back Bay, a neighborhood where Victorian brownstone homes are the reflection of money. With money comes freedom and the first signs of independence are showing here and there. Women get done more, and while they’re not working they find their own ways to get through the day. It is here that young officer Joe Checulo works, humming some song. His night shift has just begun and while the sun is setting, he walks along the big houses filled with hard working men and their wives and daughters. Read more »

Eros’ Uplifting Spell [MF][exh][voy]

I wrote this in an attempt of roleplay on /r/dirtypenpals, but I wrote so much, it wasn't roleplay anymore, but the redditer suggested finishing the story and posting it here. I start off with her prompt in Italics. I made it a quicky because it's a try-out, but I'd be up for more.

I was foolish to think I could break into the Temple of Eros with nothing happening. It's only thousands of years old, what's the worst that could happen? But I awoke the mischievous wrath of the god of sex, and now he/she torments me. Every week it changes: makes everyone fall in love with me at first sight, turns my office into a brothel, makes me insatiably horny around people I don't even like… sometimes Eros even disguises himself as someone I have a huge crush on and strings me along for months.
