Step-Something - 3 - Fantasies of Seduction

Step-Something - 3

helen

I've been intending to release the chapters to this story in groups (pairs or more). The next pair has been close to being ready for a while, but I'm not entirely happy with the second part. In the interests of kicking myself in the rear to get the pair finished, I've decided to publish the first half separately. Besides, it might be fun to tease you all while holding back the consummation...

Chapter 4 will follow soon enough.

helen I’m liking this new story. You haven’t really gone for much taboo stuff, but these two are just all kinds of sexy, even when it’s kind of evil what they’re doing. I’m looking forward to a scene with the two of them together.
With respect to the part with Audrey, while I also don’t think there is anything to chakras and the rest, using that as the basis for seduction is brilliant.
Thanks for the stories.

It probably comes through in the telling, but I have no time for "spirituality" of any kind, nor for fortune telling or any unscientific stuff. But as you say, it's a nice hook. I had to do a lot of googling to turn an idea for a sneaky hoax based on horoscopes into a story that I think is interesting 😃. I can see how turning the spiritual symbolism into physical symbolism might actually work, but more importantly, I can see how someone who's not really a skeptic could believe that it could work, which is why it works for Audrey, and why she wants to be seduced by the idea.

As for being evil - you're absolutely right, and I'm having a big problem with it. They are both supposed to be evil, but they get caught up in situations where they're helping their targets rather than taking advantage of them. You'll see that especially in the next sequence, but I think it was largely true with Ben and Audrey, too.

I have an idea that might get the "evil" side of the pair back on track, but it's going to require at least two stories that I've never tried and have always preferred to avoid. If I can make it work, though, it will be hot. Check back in a month or three!

Loving the new story additions! The last one especially with the slow seduction was so good.

Helen, I like the new chapters (?). I was initially surprised to see a threesome and bdsm. But I remembered you had some of those in your Daydreaming, I’m pretty sure mostly involving Lauren and Yolanda. Well done story. I’m very curious where the story will lead.

I'm fairly sure I never touched threesomes in the journal. Since I wasn't sure, I just re-read the last couple of years' entries. (I really owe you all the conclusion of the Craig situation, if nothing else. Spoiler alert: we're still friends, but nothing more.)

But I didn't feel I had the experience or imagination to write about threesomes, so I didn't. I still don't have the experience to explore BDSM. If you remember them from the journal, what that says to me is you've added some fantasy of your own, and I don't have any argument with that.

Years ago on the forum (or maybe email) someone mentioned that my writing about oral and anal sex was more nuanced than other writings they'd seen. I didn't correct them, but I have never ever included anal in a story. (Again, not a prude, but it would be really hard to make work with my writing.) If they liked the stories that included anal, I'm fine with it. It just means that they expanded on some implications in their own mind, and that's a good thing.

These days I might be able to be a little more direct than I was with multiple-partner stories, but these days I don't maintain the journal.

I've been wondering in the past few days if there might not be a way to revive the journal on an entirely different basis. It would be completely fictional, with a fictional female protag who would be very loosely based on me, and antics which may or may not be very loosely based on past events. (Most not, but I wouldn't admit which was which.)

I'm not sure, though, for two reasons. One, it would be a huge time commitment. There wouldn't be the interdependency of real life and fiction that made maintaining the old journal such a difficult process, but it would still require constant ideas and writing.

And two, I honestly don't know if it would capture anyone's imagination. I always said that the journal wasn't true, but I always implied that it was a very close parallel to the truth. The replacement wouldn't have even that much connection with reality. It would just be an ongoing fiction. I don't know how "emotionally invested" (to steal Tiffany's expression) anyone would be in that.

If you were to decide restart a fictional journal I would definitely be a loyal reader. It says something that in 2020 where porn is so easily accessible that I still find myself coming back to your stories as the gold standard.

Incidentally, Step-Something 5 is in work. It will be a little different. I think there will be two stories that are unrelated rather than the setup / encounter groupings so far.
