Loved it! You know, aside from that ass clown calling her fat. I really wanted someone to punch him for that.
This is a fun Valentines story. Sexy and a good read!
I’ll have to read more of your stories.
Sassy, articulate women are a huge turn-on for me, and Stella fits that image. It's one thing to look good, another thing to throw out well-placed verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Give me an "average" looking but smart, articulate chick any day over one that's conventionally beautiful but lacks the "right" amount of smarts. Nice work, Emmeline.
Lovely story and well written too, which is a plus these days. Not much more to say, need coffee to become more articulate I guess?
I'll be a greedy bastard.
More please.
Eli must be dealt with, mother too.
Thank you.
Can't get much better than that for a Valentine treat!
Thanks very much for this contribution to the Romance genre.
That was great. Loved it. 5 stars for sure.
I like this...a lot. You downplayed the eroticism in favor of emotion and it worked quite well. Great build up and a beautiful conclusion. If you decide to continue, I will read happily.
I really, really enjoyed this story,..
...but a Hello Kitty paddle? Really? /snerk
Great story - hot monkey sex, pithy dialogue, laugh out loud moments, charming characters. This was a wonderful read.
You had me totally at the Hello Kitty paddle....
Totally. Loved the backstory, made me laugh. Only problem I got, as an IT- none of my co-workers are Stella ;)
WOW! Your need another hot chapter just like this one! Matthew is a real gem and gentleman! When He and Stella finally have their bare body sex, please have HER strip HIM of his clothes, and let her discover what I hope will be a sexy, muscular hairy chest and abs ready to please her eyes and breast with soft hair. He is a real gem and worth keeping. Glad she got rid of Eli, Richard, and Mom!
My third wow comment of the day but this one is for a great story.
The dialogue was fantastic, the erotic buildup was scorching and the interruption hilarious, great characters as well.
What a fantastic story, please post more :-)
5*
Thank you for the comments, favs, and votes! I really appreciate your support!
Emmeline :)
*Author's note - I actually did pour orange juice all over my desk and get yelled at by an IT guy lol.
Hello Kitty rocks. (And yes, there really IS a paddle!)
You have been dearly missed. That was an absolute treat. :)
I think Stella finally found her man. Great story line!
Good luck in the contest.
I want sequels. Holuday themed. This story gets my vote for best of Valentine's day.
...was nice to see.
I like the way you came full circle, back to the office instead of ending it as is common that night or the next morning.
I loved it; it’s magnificent! Thank you so much for writing, and for sharing your work.
I haven't even read the story yet, obviously plan to, but just wanted to say thanks for coming back. Your talent and skill is matched by few and I come back again and again not only for the excellent content but for the excellent execution. A true pleasure to read, in every sense of the word.
What to say? Constructive criticism . . . It was too damn short! That was some of the best writing i’ve read here and it ended after 3 pages. It’s like a valentine day tease!
Need to look up your profile and see if this is the exception or the norm 😉
Oh and I guess a “Thanks” for a great story 🙂
Lovely, though I’m hoping you’re still working on wrapping your Carnal Knowledge series and this was just a quick story you HAD to write down.
You write the best banter! I hope the fact that you're writing again means that we'll see a new chapter of Carnal Knowledge soon!
I hope you will post another chapter for this!! It was sooo good and I loved the banter and the relationship!
Enjoyed the new story very much. Glad to see you're writing again! Hope there will be a closure chapter or two to Carnal Knowledge.
Scared to fully read it because your other one was so good but looks like it won't be finished.. Couldn't resist. Read it.. Good stuff
I love this story as much as Carnal Knowledge. I hope you decide to add more to this story and finish Carnal Knowledge. You have a wonderful use of words in creating mental visuals for your writing. Please continue. ....!
I loved this story-so charming! So romantic!- and really wish you’d finish Carnal Knowledge. One of my fave writers on this site for sure!
One of my favorite stories. I keep coming back to read it again and again. Great work, Emmeline. You are one of my favorite authors here. I can't wait to see what you'll submit next.
Sidenote: Can anyone recommend me similar romantic stories to this one, where the guy is a dick initially, but it turns out he liked the heroine all along? I would very much appreciate it. :)
I hope so, I really do. Five bright shiny stars and a big Bravo Zulu!
I loved this story. You are amazing!! Now go back and finish Carnal Knowledge... the suspense is killing me!!
A wonderfully written and well crafted story. I love how you were able to make it hot without being overly explicit. Nice to see such believable characters and situations. Hope to see more of your work soon.
I clicked on your signature in the forum. The story title caught my attention, and wow. You pulled off an erotic, sultry story with a minimum of sexual contact, throwing in several dashes of humor and even tension when Eli and Stella's mom showed up! Simply amazing.
Really enjoyed reading this and I cared so much about Stella and Matthew! So fun!!
Joyful and fun ... outstanding! Just came back to it after what must've been two years, wanted to drop 5 stars but couldn't, because I already had and had forgotten. Wonderful writer!
As soon as I read the 1st couple of sentences, I was hooked! Loved it loved it loved it! I need to know more about this couple! There's gotta be a happy ending where they get married or have like a kid!!!!
Great story, truly wonderful. It left me wishing for just a teeny bit more though. I really wanted to see how she explained to Taylor her trip to the supply room with the IT guy. But even without that I loved the story. Thank you very much, Emmeline.
Loved this story - the energy between the two main characters is incredible. Plus, "Holy shitake mushrooms" is going down on my list of things I need to start saying from now on! Love your writing style ;)
Hi Author Emmeline:
Hilarious.
Cute.
Promising.
Thank you. I am grateful for a great five-star story.
A Toronto reader.
There should be more written, at least a permanent end to the manwhore Eli and Stella's bitch mother, her friend and mama's boy!! Great story so far
Lol
It isn't spanking material, but I'll be damned if you didn't make me laugh inside.
Nice work.
Sweet and VERY hot...!
Loved the dialogue and Matthew's style...got her all wet their first 'date'...she melted...
Great show by him in front of their officemate Taylor!
Need to have a heart-to-heart with mom...'don't EVER come over again without ringing... and if I don't answer-there's a very good reason you don't need to know about...'
Easy 5 and fave
I really like the bit about Richard on his phone being a major strike and then to his mother..LOL It wasn’t subtle but said so much about his character
Where do I begin? Vocabulary, storytelling, wit, descriptive writing, suspense, surprise, the absence of vulgarity, and the dawn of what surely will be an epic love. A finely written story by an author with talent. A story certainly worthy of acclaim. A good read well written.
The way I was screaming, yelling and giggling throughout this story... 5 stars!
