1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
This story was published as part of the Lush Summer anthology on Amazon a couple of years ago. I previously had a teaser posted on site, but Nicola recently asked if I and the other contributing authors wouldn’t mind releasing the whole thing here on Lush. So here we are.
As for the story itself, I wanted to take a look at how two people who have a really close relationship, but otherwise shouldn’t be together, might cross that line with each other after an unusual shared experience. In this case, a pair of marine park divers who have a brush with a great white shark.
2. How did you come up with these characters?
George is an amalgam of a couple of women from my life in an attempt to create the coolest chick I could. Drawing from a petite ex-, I took her fierce intellect and highly capable physicality, together with her maturity and the genuine warmth that lay just beneath her sometimes-intimidating exterior. Combining those qualities with the wickedly filthy sense of humour and lifelong bond I share with my current best mate, I had the perfect female character.
The male character is loosely based on me, in another self-indulgent exercise. His backstory as an ex-special forces soldier gives him the necessary skills to keep up with George, and the mettle to face off with the great white shark. But the core of his character, and the heart of the story, is how the adrenalin rush from the encounter throws him off balance. This similarly confident operator becomes racked with doubt and uncertainty in the aftermath, leaving him very much vulnerable.
3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
In addition to just being an oral sex story, this one’s an incredibly slow burn. I originally thought it’d be all done and dusted in a cheeky four or five thousand words. But by the time I finished, I was approaching eleven thousand. I certainly think the payoff is worth it, and there’s just as much fun to be had in the lead up. Still, I’m surprised it took me so long to get there.
4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
Capturing the tension in the encounter with the shark was a lot more difficult than I expected. I of course needed to ratchet up the fear and suspense, but I also needed to pace it right. I didn’t want this to be a Jaws knock off. It was hard to keep the shark from stealing the show. It’s merely the catalyst for the two of them to have an encounter of their own.
5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?
This is just one of many amazing stories in the Lush Summer anthology. Buz, Poppet, MollyDoll, Jimmy Starling, Liz, Pervystoryteller and the long lost SITTING/papergirl all have smoking hot contributions to it as well. It’s still available on Amazon, so pick yourself up a copy if you haven’t already
And it’s still worth remembering that more people are killed by vending machines each year than sharks. Just sayin’...
