There is such power in this story. I sensed it more than read it in the words, but it's definitely there. Emotion is a difficult thing to portray with words, but I felt what Sophie felt as I read. By the end, I wanted to take her in my arms, give her a nice soft hug and tell her it would be OK.
You did a wonderful change of moods when Sophie learned Christopher was married. In one breath, she was light-hearted and happy, and in the next, I felt her world collapse. At the end came another, the last line - "I couldn’t trust myself, you see, I still loved him." I didn't expect that, and I loved it because I didn't see it coming.
I really liked the erotic descriptions too. They were enough to start my imagination without overpowering me with graphic details. I didn't need those details. My imagination did just fine, thank you, a little too fine really. If you write like this in every story...well, my tight jeans got considerably tighter as the story progressed.
There were a few grammar things I noticed, but they didn't really detract from the story. I think that's because I was really hearing Sophie talk as I read. Most people don't use proper english when they speak, so it felt OK for those things to be there.
Now all I have to do is find out what the hell is a weekly quiz and a zebra crossing. |

| Message | OK, I don't smoke cigarettes, but I need one after reading this. As erotica, this was good. As a written work, it was also good.
I liked the way the story flowed, from her feeling of tension to deciding on the massage to deciding she wanted the massage to become more intimate. That flow give the story a reason to be. It would have been possible, and indeed common for some writers, to condense the build-up to one paragraph of "I was tense so I decided on a massage. After I felt her hands on me, I knew I had to have her." Taking it slowly, as you did, and mixing in her feelings as she decides gave her a personality I could believe.
Your descriptions are very good. I like to be given hints so I can paint my own picture, not have that picture drawn for me in infinite detail, and your descriptions allowed me to do that. My, my, what pictures I painted too.
It's interesting that your character likes the word "cunt". That single word told me volumes about her that were reinforced by some of her self-description. Again, this gives a character depth without describing in detail.
As a suggestion, for your next story, try wording some sentences so all of them don't start with "I" or "She". The story will read a little easier if written in this manner. Try using a name instead of "she", or perhaps change the order of words to put the pronoun somewhere other than first.
A nice story that gave me much...uh...pleasure in reading. |
