Happy Wednesday! Squeaking in late because it’s been a super busy, intense day. The school year schedule is definitely in full swing.
I haven’t written much in the last week. I added a bit to Minuet, but not much else. I really need to figure out a better system because I’m already getting behind on tasks.
Anyway, this snippet is still in the same chapter I’ve been posting from. Trust me, I’m working up to something. There aren’t spoilers in this section, or not directly. But there is ultimately a point to this conversation.
WIPmath: 9/12/2018 = 11 paragraphs of dialog because I used up the bonus one last week. And also it’s late and I can’t math.
“I take it you never read smut or watched porn, either,” Amelia said.
“No, I did.” Marlie blushed again. “I read a ton of fan fiction. No porn.”
“None?” Now even Nia’s eyebrows rose.
“I’ve seen it now. I don’t like it that much. I don’t know. All those skinny women with big boobs, and the noises they make!” Marlie did a fantastic impression of the breathy, high-pitched sounds, which sent a fit of giggles around the room.
“You ever try watching the gay ones?” Gemma asked.
“Oh, hell no,” Marlie replied. “I live with men who are having sex together. I don’t want to watch them, and I don’t want to watch anyone who reminds me of them. It feels…inappropriate, like I’d be intruding on something intimate for them.”
“Would it be?” Amelia asked. She and Mack had only occasionally invited in a third, but both watching and participating was intense and sexy.
Marlie shrugged. “It’s not like I’ve asked them, but they’re private people. Everything is separate. Their relationship with each other, and their relationships with Nia and me.” She swallowed visibly. “And Trevor’s relationship with Jamie.”
Amelia studied her for a moment in the quiet that followed. “You know, it wouldn’t hurt to talk to them about how you’re feeling.”
“Maybe,” Marlie agreed, her cheeks turning pink once more.
“What about you all?” Gemma turned to the others. “Straight or gay porn?”

Ah, Marlie. I’d be turning pink too(I blush vey easily). And I love Amelia more and more.
Amelia is great, and really fun to write. And I would be blushing as well!
Such frank conversation! Love it, though I’m not certain how I’d answer either.
Yeah, I don’t know how comfortable I’d be there, but that’s part of why I wanted to normalize it.
I know I read this already. Must’ve been in my inbox. :/ So, I’m wondering if there’s something Marlie isn’t saying here, but generally I’m just loving the women having this conversation.
Oooh, boy. Well, yes. There’s a lot Marlie’s not saying here. Interesting that you picked up on it.
