The Second Step

Shoes of Glass #2

by Leona D. Reish

As the relationship between a self-conscious, injured young woman and the kind-hearted, easily manipulated man at her feet continues, the things he does to her heart are beginning to frighten Erica. Daniel is beginning to occupy her thoughts and actions more often, which will lead to Erica testing the strength of his pledge to her, both in town and in private.

Tied up in Erica's domain of leather dominance and lace submission, held firmly under the caress of her heel, Daniel can only endure her wishes to meet with the reward of passion to follow. Taking this second step of endurance to follow the first will show Daniel the cracks in a beautiful woman's defensive shell.

About the author

I am (not) a vampire. I say that both to spark humour and because you have to imagine vampires would get bored of the same eclectic castles and slowly developing society after a few hundred years and travel the world a bit. While not over hundreds of years, I have had the opportunity to travel and lived in such places in the United States as New Mexico, Arkansas, New Jersey, Philadelphia visited friends in New York and Washington DC.

Born in and returned to England, I've had a similar stint of living the length and breadth of this island nation and chance to visit the art galleries in Paris and dark reaches of the most northern Norway.

I am a writer, and creating such diversity and colour as exists in the world has been one of the few consistencies in my much-traveled life. Perhaps it was growing up with such things as Mario Paint, a typewriter and Father that had worked in military communications that drew me to creativity and writing.

My typewriter is now a mechanical keyboard on a PC capable of more than you could imagine back then. Now one of the other consistencies that's remained true to my life since then is my desire to do something that moves people. If I can enter your life with my writing, and make you feel good, smile and enjoy what I've done, that's exactly what I live for. It's something reflected in a history of graphical design work where I aimed to design involving and moving imagery, voluntary employment with Oxford Famine Relief (more commonly known as Oxfam) to a management level and nationally certified customer service.

I sincerely hope you enjoy any, if not all of my work here the way I've enjoyed putting heart and soul into every piece.
