Leather Coat Daydreams: 2019

Good evening to you who follow this blog.

I have posted two new chapters of Spellbound with a Kiss, my Halloween story featuring the bewitching Cassandra Harper. Young Nathan Brown falls under Cassandra's spell in Leather Coat Desire https://lctdadrms.blogspot.com/p/vi.html and then realizes that she may not be the wholesome lady she seems in https://lctdadrms.blogspot.com/p/demented-beauty-nathanopened-his-eyes.html

This story has been years in the writing due to the many constraints on my time, but I hope readers find these installments to my autumn tale enjoyable.

Also: All chapters of Spellbound with a Kiss have been REVISED. The core of the text is mostly the same, but I have edited and cleaned it up so that the story flows better than before. Refresh your memory before you read the new chapters and see what you think.

As always, feedback is much appreciated.

Excerpts:

From the Prelude https://lctdadrms.blogspot.com/p/prelude-sleek-new-2007-black-raven.html

- "The more I think about it I really do feel it is best that I should go to this party. My intuition is telling me it is the right thing to do,” she declared resolutely.

Her leather coat creaked softly as she buttoned it down the single-breasted placket.

“Well, I guess that settles it then! I know better than to question your woman’s intuition!” he chuckled.

“You’ve predicted the future correctly too many times for me to argue with you about that!”

Her emerald eyes sparkled at him with amusement in the mirror. She finished buttoning her coat and rolled the notched collar halfway up behind her neck in her signature way. She plucked the collar of her white blouse so that it stood crisp from her lapels and tugged the shirt cuffs to her wrists inside her coat sleeves. Sliding her hands down her flat abdomen she turned from side to side, admiring her svelte figure as it gleamed in the black leather.

She looked like she was going to an art gallery or the symphony, not to an outdoor Halloween party on a farm. Marvin was not about to tell her she was overdressed, though. Any less formal outfit would be out of character for her. Cassandra was just being herself and he liked her that way.

He approached her from behind and placed his hands on her shoulders. Her supple lambskin coat felt like cool butter beneath his fingers.

“You’re just as beautiful as the day I married you,” he crooned in her ear, nuzzling her silky red hair.

The floral scent of her perfume filled his nostrils. He recognized from familiarity that it was Timeless by Avon and it was certainly an appropriately-named fragrance for her.

“That is because I have a wonderful husband who provides so well for me,” she responded sweetly, gazing contently at her reflection.

I. An Unexpected Admirer https://lctdadrms.blogspot.com/p/i.html

- “Cassandra, you remember Nathan don’t you?” Marvin asked rhetorically.

Judging from her response Nathan guessed that she had not noticed him until that very instant.

“Oh my!” she exclaimed.

Her lovely green eyes widened and her crimson lips parted as her jaw dropped.

She demurely placed her gloved left hand on her breast.

Somehow it was an immediate turn on for him to see her touch her leather-coated bosom with her leather-gloved hand.

Nathan mentioned to Marvin at work that he was going to wear his armor that afternoon. Marvin said he would be sure to tell Cassandra because she liked history and she might enjoy seeing his costume.

Apparently she liked his costume far more than Marvin expected.

Nathan had probably met Cassandra a dozen times over the years. She never greeted him with anything more than cordial politeness. She gaped at him now as if she had never seen him before. She almost acted like she was in a trance.

Taking advantage of the moment, he thought he would play the role of the chivalrous cavalier. He removed his helmet and tucked it under his left arm.

Summoning up his nerve, he then took up her small right hand and kissed it with a courteous bow.

“A pleasure M’lady,” he said with a grin.

Her delicate hand was incredibly soft and dainty. Her smooth black lambskin glove was cool and slick against his lips.

Her leather coat sleeve slid back from her wrist as her arm extended. The top edge of her glove crinkled against the buttoned white cuff of her blouse.

Cassandra didn’t resist him or pull away. Her emerald eyes sparkled with delight. She clearly liked such treatment.

Her fingers gently clung to his for a moment as he let go of her.

“Oh my!” she repeated again, fanning herself with her hands.

Her cheeks blushed a warm peach hue.

“That... is a remarkable costume!” she gasped.

“I have not seen a man dressed like that in many, many years…”

Her voice trailed off as if she was talking to herself.

She plucked at the top button of her coat nervously. The collar of her blouse quivered about her throat.

II. A Gallant Cavalier https://lctdadrms.blogspot.com/p/ii.html

- She turned to face him directly. The curved brim of her hat and the splayed collar of her coat framed her placid, porcelain visage indelibly in sleek black leather. Her mesmerizing green eyes arrested his attention, virtually exploding into his mind. An exquisitely fine lacework of turquoise radiated through her brilliant emerald irises, highlighted with golden shades of amber around her pupils.
