Your last paragraph...

...was a challenge.

"atramentous" tool = "black as ink" tool

"chatoyant incarnadine" plumage = "having a changeable luster or color with an undulating narrow band of white light; FR, from present participle of chatoyer to shine like a cat's eyes" "having the pinkish color of flesh" plumage ("the feathers of a bird") [definitions from Merriam-Webster online]

...ten-dollar words... to describe a black cock entering a flashy (fleshy?), red-haired, pink-lipped pussy

KUDOS:

-you waited to the end to unleash your vocabulary

-you used EXACT words to express a transcendent truth, and from multiple POVs (however implied)

-you underscored your command of prose, pacing of story, and the point(s) you want to make

There's more, but I'll end with: NEVER underestimate a woman from the South.

Five stars, by the way.

A challenge indeed

I really love it when an author challenges me with words that i'm unfamilar with especially if they enhance the story. Some of the words you used however added no value to your story and indeed were a distraction for me. I believe that it was a fairly decent story but the vocabulary lessson was distracting.

Great

When I heard you had a new story, just had to read it. Great job, as always. Next, could you write the brother's story??

sesquipedalian language

Many fans don't like the big words, many do. I certainly do; there are only so many ways to say "fuck" and I prefer the fancy ones. Chatoyant is also a synonym for Silky, so I like it.
