Searching for Tales of Intrigue

​

Introduction

Welcome to my request thread, and I hope you'll find something you enjoy here. I consider myself to be a mature, experienced writer, having engaged in adult-themed stories for a few decades now. I'm searching for a long-term partner to explore with, to develop characters with, and to see what we can come up with together.​

Who & What I Write

As you'll see below, many of my story ideas involve contrasts: of age, of culture, of ethnicity, of power and economic status, and more. I find that two characters who seem to have no business being together can make for an explosive pairing. Sometimes society might frown on their relationship, while at other times they may be entirely forbidden to one another.

The men I write are naturally dominant, and are often mature and experienced. These men are flawed, though often those flaws are not immediately noticeable. Only a woman who becomes intimate with him would discover them. They can be demanding, and are often very particular.

I want to be clear: I'm searching for romance. I want to explore the bond between two characters as it grows stronger, no matter the consequences. I'm not looking for sugary, cliched romances, though. I much prefer unconventional romances. Give our characters obstacles or taboos to overcome. Let others whisper about them behind their backs. Have them wonder if they've gotten too involved with each other. Without that connection between characters, I find I can't sustain my interest in a story.​

Where I Write

I am glad to write here over PMs or on Discord. I do not set minimum word counts for each post, as I've found some writers are able to put incredible meaning into a single paragraph. I enjoy a varied pace to the posting lengths as well: in conversational settings, the pacing may be more rapid-fire, while in a scene-opening post it may take much more to properly describe the setting.​

The Ideas

Here are a few ideas, but you're welcome to reach out and suggest any of your own as well. These are meant mostly to give you an idea as to the sorts of themes I enjoy exploring in my writing, and each is open-ended, for us to take it in whatever direction we choose:​

Unexpected & Inappropriate Pairings

The Benefactor

She must have felt elated when the letter arrived, informing her that not only had she been accepted into a prestigious university program, but that she had also received a substantial scholarship that would fully fund her education and expenses. The scholarship was in the name of its donor, a wealthy and successful man who had given generously to his alma mater in order to support promising applicants who could not otherwise afford the exorbitant tuition fees.

One stipulation of accepting the scholarship was that the recipient was to attend a social function in which donors met the students who were benefitting from their donations personally. It was a typical, slightly stilted function with light food and drinks served, a formality for all involved. When the donor comes face to face with the young woman whose education he's funding, though, there is an immediate electricity between the two. Perhaps they try to brush it off, but the feeling takes hold and leads them down a path that's both highly inappropriate and highly exhilarating.

The Father Figure

He was a man she always felt comfortable going to when she needed advice or help. Perhaps he's a friend of the family, or a mentor of some kind. Whoever he is, she would associate him with feelings of stability and safety. They'd lost touch over the years as she began to pursue her own life - going off to college and then starting a career - but she didn't forget him. And when some traumatic event or crisis finds her, she'd go to him as the only man she feels she can truly trust and rely on. He'd take her in and show her the guidance she's always appreciated when she was younger, and as they settle into that dynamic, they'd discover a powerful attraction together.

Stealing Her Away

She's off-limits to him, and belongs to someone else. Perhaps she's been promised to another man in an arranged marriage, or perhaps she's simply with a man she doesn't respect or love. Whatever the case, he'll come in and take what doesn't belong to him, feeling no remorse for doing so. And together they'll deal with whatever repercussions follow.

Forbidden Fruit

He wasn't the sort of man who betrayed anyone's trust, and certainly not his daughter's. It had all happened so innocuously, with the father inviting his college-aged daughter to join him for a week in some tropical paradise during her spring break. When she'd asked if she could bring her best friend, he agreed immediately. The more the merrier, he'd said.

But as soon as he'd met this close friend of his daughter's, he'd felt something stirring inside him. She felt it too, judging from her flirtations. And soon he'd found himself giving into the temptation, delving into a secret relationship that could upend his relationship with his daughter. But nothing could stop he and the young woman, they spiralled into the affair so easily, without any thoughts for the repercussions.

The Escort

It was no surprise that his work was being recognized by such a lofty honor, given how much of his life he'd dedicated to his profession. While everything else had managed to crumble around him - friendships, his marriage - his career was always solid, always his focus. He was flying into a particular city to receive an award, but his closest friend (and perhaps his only friend) was concerned that he had no one to accompany him to the presentation itself. It had been ages since the man had so much as gone out on a date with a woman, so his friend opts to arrange for a high-end escort to join him that evening. The man protests, of course, but there's no talking himself out of it. She'll be joining him. And what neither he nor she ever expected was that this would continue well past the one evening.

8a and 8b

He had a rule when he traveled, and that was to never speak to a seatmate unless absolutely necessary. Too many times he'd found himself seated beside someone who felt they needed to share their life's story with him, when all he wanted to do was read or sleep. It was a rule he rarely broke, though when she sat beside him he couldn't help himself. The words were uttered without him even thinking of them, and they opened up a conversation that lasted the entire flight. Only this time he was glad for the company. Neither of them should have been so interested in the other - perhaps one or both wore a wedding band - and neither could have known that that flight would begin a torrid affair, one that came with plenty of risks, but also plenty of rewards.

Wanderlust

After a few decades of working towards success, a man reaches middle age and begins asking existential questions. Is he fulfilled? What has all this work gotten him, besides a bit of wealth? His devotion to his job has cost him his marriage, friendships. So he opts to leave it all behind, if only for a little while, setting out on his sailboat for parts unknown. Along the way he meets her, a girl who is likely too young for him, but they connect. And she comes along with him, sailing from port to port, country to country. Taking in the culture, taking in each other.

Everything She Ever Wanted

She was taught her whole life to dream, to go after everything she wanted. Why, then, were her friends disappointed in her when she realized that dream? He gave her everything she could have ever hoped for: stability, a luxurious lifestyle, affection, attention. But those around her frowned on the relationship. Perhaps it was the difference in their ages. Perhaps it was that he spoiled her with gifts. Perhaps it was his exacting nature, never completely satisfied. Perhaps it was his unhealthy sense of possession. As with any dream, there were necessary sacrifices she'd had to make. College, of crucial importance to her family, soon felt like an exercise...so she left. Her friends, family gradually receded into the background of her life before fading out entirely. She had little room for anyone who couldn't understand her dream, or how she was living it. And he ensured that she was gradually entwining herself around him, so she couldn't free herself if she wanted to.

Snowed In

He'd built his home high in the mountains years before: remote, private and isolated. His routine each day was the same: he made the long drive to his office in the city, while his housekeeper would arrive and tend to the many tasks required to keep such a home running smoothly. One afternoon, though, the forecast called for heavy snow, with the news media predicting road closures for days. He'd tried to reach his housekeeper to let her know she should leave early to avoid the weather, but she wasn't answering. By the time he made it home, the snow was already drifting across roads, and his housekeeper's car was covered in ice. Even though she attempted to drive home, she couldn't make it more than a few feet down the snow-covered drive. She'd be stuck there, with him, for days. And in that time, the two would explore together and develop an intense bond, no matter how forbidden it may have been.

A Touch of Mystery

New to the Neighborhood

It was the sort of neighborhood that was upscale enough that anyone who moved in was scrutinized by the many housewives who had too much time on their hands. He'd moved into the large home by himself, and seemed to have no family or friends visiting. That alone had some of the women talking. He was also objectively very handsome, which only piqued their curiosity even more. The truth was, he was doing his best to keep a low profile. He'd moved many miles, uprooting himself from wherever he'd previously called home, to reset his life after a significant scandal. He just wanted to live a quiet life, but some intrepid neighbor (or perhaps the daughter of a neighbor) discovers the reason for his exile and takes an interest in him.

The Interview

He had found incredible success at a young age, having founded a company whose value skyrocketed immediately. By his mid-20s he had already managed to be featured on the cover of Forbes and had been written about in every newspaper of note. He was both respected and envied. And then, without notice, he disappeared. He'd sold his company and vanished. This was newsworthy for a very brief time, but soon he was forgotten.

Many years later, though, an enterprising reporter takes an interest in the mystery and manages to discover his whereabouts. He's living on an island in the tropics, far from the rest of the world. She'd carefully work her sources until she secures an interview and an invitation to his island for a weekend. What she discovers is a man living by his own rules, and while she may be confused by his lifestyle at first, she may soon become fascinated by it as well.

Lost and Found

She was in her final year of college when she disappeared, a bright future seemingly extinguished without a trace. The investigation turned up little, and all that was known was that she'd been chatting online with an older man, one with whom she exchanged messages that were often powerful and intense. The last of these messages spoke to her willingness in her own vanishing: I'm coming for you, he'd written. Come get me, she'd replied. And then there was nothing. No sightings, no communications. She was gone.

A friend, or perhaps a sister, never gave up the search, though the authorities had long ago. Doggedly pursuing any hint of a lead she could find, she eventually finds herself at the doorstep of a luxurious estate, ringing the bell, hoping and praying. The door swings open and the eyes looking back at her are familiar to her, even if the rest of the young woman's appearance is not. Her hair, body, clothing, and mannerisms...all different, all so provocative. But those eyes, they were the same. It was her.

"Can I help you?" she asked, not recognizing the other woman, with whom she'd been so close only years before.

Mixing Business and Pleasure

The Housekeeper

He was living most people's dreams, wealthy enough to afford a second home in some tropical paradise. But the home doesn't take care of itself, and he's had a streak of sub-par housekeepers as of late, with some not tending to their duties and others outright stealing from him. He agrees to put out a new ad for a full-time housekeeper, one who would live on the property and be responsible for its interior, but in reaction to the poor performers as of late he insists on interviewing the finalists himself.

When it came time for her interview, their attraction was palpable from the moment they met gazes. She was hired, of course, and given an intimate window into this man's private life. And he'd look forward to escaping to that beach house every chance he got.

The Interpreter

He'd been sent abroad for a number of months to oversee the merger of his company with a foreign one, finding himself completely out of his element. In this distant place, he didn't speak the language, nor did he know the customs. The man who is his home country was so effortlessly confident was now put off-balance by his new surroundings. His one lifeline was the woman assigned to him as an interpreter. She was to accompany to him to all business functions, be they meetings or meals, and to ensure his statements and those of his counterparts were properly conveyed and understood. In time, though, these two would end up spending time together outside of business hours, as he sought to understand the culture better and as she attempted to make him feel more at home. What began as a professional arrangement would soon transform into something highly unprofessional.

The Personal Assistant

Yes, it's clichéd, but for good reason. The idea of a boss/assistant pairing opens up all kinds of themes, from taboo relationships to ideals of devotion to risky behavior. If done well, there's much to explore here.

The Photographer

He specialized in making women feel beautiful. His studio, a home overlooking a lake, was the essence of comfort, with each bedroom decorated in soft, feminine textures to serve as backdrops for his portraits. He was a boudoir photographer, his clients coming to him on special occasions: a landmark birthday, an upcoming wedding, or even a divorce. These women were not models, but he made them feel as if they were for a few hours. He'd always managed to keep his shoots professional, and he prided himself on that. But there will be one woman who steps into his studio that tempts him to shed that professionalism, to indulge himself a bit.

The Darker Side

Obsession

It wasnʻt supposed to have happened this way. It was meant to be a fling: a few days in paradise and then theyʻd go on their separate ways. Had he trusted his instincts, heʻd never have gotten so entangled with the girl, since there had been something off about that look in her eyes from the start. She had brought an intensity to him that was both refreshing and intimidating, and he wasnʻt able to resist her pull. But now she had worked her way into so many aspects of his life, and he couldnʻt shake her. She thrilled him, but she also frightened him. And yet, even now, he couldnʻt say no. He didnʻt want to, even if he knew it was what needed to happen.

Trafficked

Maybe she lived in a village in this far-flung, forgotten part of the world, or perhaps she was a young tourist setting out to see the world alone...whatever the case, she never imagined she'd end up on this stage, dressed so provocatively, being sold like some kind of object. There are men, and some women, eyeing her from the dimly-lit room with ill intent, but perhaps there is also a man there who takes pity on the girl, one who feels a sudden rush of sympathy when he sees her brought out onto the stage. He'll win the bidding war for the young woman, but then his next moves are unclear: does he attempt to return her to her family? Does she even want to be returned? There are many avenues to explore with this one.

You Were Warned

The two young women had been best friends for years, virtually inseparable. There were no secrets between them until he came along. He'd swept the best friend, Clara, off her feet, and soon Clara was no longer returning calls or texts. She had entwined herself around him so quickly that within a few months she had retreated from her friendships and familial relationships. She'd all but disappeared.

When the friend did see Clara, she was dressed differently....provocatively. She didn't seem herself, staying quiet while her lover did most of the speaking. It was as if someone had replaced the old Clara with this new woman. It was troubling, to say the least.

Then, after a few months, Clara finally reached out to her friend, her voice shaky on the phone as she broke the news that she was no longer with the man. The two old friends met up, but Clara seemed broken, her mind and emotions shattered. Clara's friend, incensed, vows to track down the man and chastise him for ruining the poor girl. But, as it turns out, the friend is not immune to his charm and magnetism. And soon, against her better judgement, she finds herself spiraling into him, giving herself over to him.
