Simone and the Writer

"Oh my God, what you do to me!"

Simone hit the enter key on her blackberry after typing her fifteenth message of the day to the writer. She quickly began typing another message.

"I want you to know how I feel since we started emailing... I feel alive and smiling so naughtily... I like to be dominated but also protected or sheltered... I am constantly wet thinking about your books and you and at the moment I am making HIM a tea as he's just woke up shouting and I am rubbing my legs together as I'm in desperate need of a seeing to!!! I'm shaking with desire and giggling like a school girl"

Thirty-six hundred miles away, Long John O'Tool, the author of over twenty explicit erotica stories smiled as he read Simone's latest message.

Of course, Long John was only his pen name. Jasper Harding would have liked to attach his real name onto his stories but this simply was not possible. Too many relatives, not that he was actually close with any of them, but still, he knew that there would be issues if they knew of his new hobby.

It was still a hobby, but Jasper knew he wanted it to become more, much more. Jasper, blessed with the desire to be creative; writing was one way he was able to express his creativity. He had experimented with music to some degree but lacked the dexterity to become a performing musical artist.

His first book, which had contained a lot of biographical information disguised as fiction, had been online in ebook format and paperback for eight months. Since then, he had written another twenty stories and had released them on major retailer sites. Three of them had been book-sized and the others were shorts, designed to be read in one setting, hopefully resulting in a need by the reader to masturbate.

Simone was not the first woman who had sent a nude picture of herself to Jasper, but she was only the second. She had confessed that the photo was the first one of that kind she had ever provided to someone. Jasper felt that she had been sincere, and an instant bond established itself between them.

Jasper agreed that readers and writers should bond in some way. He recalled an interview he had seen that featured a major songwriter and lyricist many years ago. Although Jasper had always been fascinated with the artist's words and music, the interview remark had left him feeling very cold and distant. The artist had referred to an encounter with a fan once where the fan had attempted to explain how one of the artist's songs had affected him, made him feel connected. The artist chastised the admirer, by saying "You don't know me, you don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that song. I didn't write it for you and you can't claim it either."

Jasper was enjoying their online email chats, which soon became quite erotic. He was well aware that he had seduced Simone with his words. Unlike the music artist in the interview, Jasper felt honored that his fan had been somehow changed, altered by his mind and the words that poured out of it. He was well aware also that obtaining a level of celebrity would likely affect him as well.

As he often did when events that moved him occurred, he sat down to discuss it with his closest friend and confidant, his journal. Jasper knew that sometimes, his journal writings became published stories. He suspected that Simone may emerge from his thoughts and journal entries into a story of erotica and passion, of experimentation and risk, and he hoped that both the story he might someday write and Simone's own journey would have happy endings.
