His run of bad luck (or bad women) had to end sometime and this story about how it came to an end was well worth reading 4 pages. I actually read the story with some question as to where it was going. Most of the stuff on Literotica is predictable after the first half page. I'm not sure how plausible Alan's very modest living style was - taking only $5K a month in addition to his guitar sales, but he didn't live badly and if he wanted something special he could afford it. I still think he should get the pre-nup signed. 4*
A very nice story. 5 stars! I liked the characters and the flow of the story. I liked the family themes and that he wanted somebody to start a family with. I liked the build up and the romance of the story. I think you could have stretched the romance out some more to add to the story though. I don't know crap about guitars, but you made them sound interesting. That is what a good writer does, he makes the reader interested in the subject matter. Thanks for your time and imagination.
Sweet Story, very nice, I usually don't read romance so this was a breath of fresh air, two people actually being nice to each other!
“I figured, what the hell, and did as he demanded.
As soon as I was halfway done, my stomach erupted. I barely made it into the bathroom.
I finished the nasty, washed my face and brushed my teeth. "Jesus, Dad."
"That's step one. You have to get that out of the way. Now, take some pain killers for the headache and drink the Gatorade to help rehydrate. We all woke up late, but let you sleep through breakfast. We're going to a late lunch at Giada's restaurant now, so shit, shower, shave and meet us in the lobby in a half-hour."
Laughing, I said, "Okay."”
I don’t think, after all this, feeling terrible, hurling, etc., that he would be “Laughing”. I’d say more like growling.
Entertaining to boot. But there didn't seem to be anything "European" about it nor did I see where Daddy asked her to sign a pre-nup. Other than that, thanks for the effort.
Good story, but in the real world a woman as described wouldn’t be trustworthy in the long run. Mary’s totally hypergamous, and it’s just a matter of time before the next Mr Right comes along. Alan may be attractive, rich and a sex god, but there’s always someone that’s even more of all of the above, and they prey on beautiful women; single or married makes no difference. She’s shown she can be lured away, even when she has a good thing going. She may agree to marry him, but it’s the money that will keep her there... for now.
Really liked this story. Well written. Brought a big smile to my face. Thank-you
Good story, though could have been better with a more robust ending. Maybe an epilog.
Enjoyable take on the rich-man/poor-girl theme, I really enjoyed it, thank you.
If you won 425 million on power ball your cash out after taxes would be about one third or $141 million. If you gave your family 10 million each (total of 30 million) that would leave you with 111 million. With conservative blue stock investments, you would earn 4 to 5 percent gross income and about 3% after taxes. That represents $2500 per month per million. So each family person group would get $25,000 per month. You would get more than $275,000 per month. All of these figures are after taxes.
Wonderful story. He found out she loved him before he discussed money. She also told him she wants lots of bedrooms for their babies. Please write a Part 2...
"Hello Kettle. My Name is Pot. You're Black."
"So European"? When it comes to divorce rates or gold digging - or hypocrisy in general, the US versus the EU is "Six Of One; Half A Dozen Of The Other".
Great story and I agree that it deserves a part 2. Another 5 BIG FAT SHINY STARS!
Liked the story but not sure about a part 2? I think if they live happily ever after what’s the point? If they don’t live happily ever after what’s the point? However, as much as I liked the story the ending was a little abrupt and maybe rushed. So a page or 2 more could help if it was something clever and well thought out? But 5 stars for me.
Sure hope she sign the Prenup. I wouldn't trust her fully.
I don't understand why he have to give away some money to his extended family. What have they done to deserve that ?????
As much as I HATE gold diggers of either gender, I hope she proves to be a keeper (her background doesn't sound bad, "nice girl from the poor side of the tracks") we've read stories with ones who should have been burned at the stake.
