Taming Theodore: An Erotic Short Story — L.C. Zingera

Taming Theodore
An erotic love story
Revised and updated 2017

Ten years ago Theodore Jansen was heartbroken to overhear Dresden Carter his high school sweetheart discussing him with her friends the night before her high school graduation. He is devastated to find that she does not plan on staying in their home town of Hokenberry, New Jersey to be with him, but is going away to college in Germany for four years. Not only that, but she makes fun of him and his homely future plans.

Numbly, Theo, who had planned to propose the following night escorts her politely through her graduation ceremony and post graduation ball as promised, and never contacts her again. Instead he takes a chance on making something of his own future. He mails off the wooden sculptures that until now had only been a hobby, to a New York City gallery and is stunned to receive a quick response.

Ten years later, Theo is no longer the soft hearted young man who had once been teasingly nicknamed Teddy. He's a well known wealthy New York City artist with a bevy of willing female followers. So when he receives an invitation to his high school reunion, he is at first reluctant to attend, but the chance to vanquish a few of his youthful demons and curiosity about Dresden who is on the organizing committee, all get the better of him. But things are not quite what he might have imagined, and love holds some unexpected surprises in store for Theo.

Author note: Taming Theodore is a little different from my usual more playful romances, it is more blatant, has a slightly harsher tone, and contains a ménage, something I don't usually write. But Theo has his demons to overcome and when your characters speak to you, it is always a good idea for a writer to listen. But don't worry, Theo finds his own happy ending.
