A Perfect Welcoming by regnglad
I've been off for a on a long weekend celebrating the Fourth of July holiday. Happy Independence Day everyone.
Here's a story story by an established author here at Literotica that has posted in the Erotic Couplings today.

Let's start with the good parts about this story. This is a young, talented author who knows how to tell a story and this story should and could have been much hotter than it is.
It's a very short story that is all narative, which is okay for a short story. The author has a gift for description, only he failed to describe his character.
Why? I don't understand. I had to double check the catagory to see if this was a Non-Human story and she was a ghost.
As the reader, I would have more enjoyed knowing if this woman of desire had short hair or long hair. Was she a blonde, brunette or a red head. Maybe she was a Nubian princess. Maybe she was an Asian chick. I have no idea, as the writer didn't want to reveal what this woman looked like?
Any time you don't describe your character, any time you don't develop your character by using imagery and/or a bit of dialogue to let the reader know who she is and why she's there, you miss the opportunity of taking your story from a 5 to a 10.
We readers what to see what the writer is seeing. That's the art of writing to put us in the room with you. We are all voyeurs. We want to be sitting there with you on the side of the bed, while your girlfriend is enjoying your naked body. Only, we have no idea what you look like or what she looks like and he missed the perfect opportunity to describe her, when she said she had been looking at some naked photos of herself.
Yeah? Duh? We're not pscyhic. How hot would that have been to be there looking over her shoulder while she was looking at herself naked.
Still, I recommend this story and, further, I'd like to see the author rewrite this with my suggestions in mind. I think this story, at twice the length could be a masterpiece.
I hope this spotlight of attention garners you more views, votes, and comments. Good luck with your story.
