Interesting story!

I’ve been wanting to experiment with the short form for a while and this seemed like a good opportunity to do so. However, I was quite close to the deadline so this was written in a hurry and has a couple of rough edges as a consequence.

I consciously decided to write a story without any sex, which might seem perverse for a site specialising in erotica, but I’m a romantic first and foremost. So, apologies for those wanting the quick fix.

I do wish those that downrate a story would say why, though.

A totally engaging story that makes the reader exercise his imagination as to the outcome.

Very good,

Suggestions and leaving things to the imagination are, IMNSHO, better for stories than every last boring detail.

Thank you both. That was absolutely my intention

I get it. But it feels unfinished, to me.

It feels unfinished because it is unfinished. 2⭐

Good start, but just getting started. I would have loved another page or ten. Sorry for only 4 stars, just wanted more, as it was well written.

Seems this is a real Marmite of a story! Some of you obviously like the ambiguity and others prefer their ‘i’s dotted and their ‘t’s crossed. Good to know.

I'm ok with the story ending where it did. Sometimes I prefer things to be left unsaid. I was starting to stress out worried they'd cheat on their respective spouses - storylines I really don't like to read. That said, I am left wanting to know why the intense animosity towards the wife and her family. All in all, a very decent read

4 ⭐️ but too many delicious pieces left to be explored.
