Interesting origins of this beautiful piano. You deftly captured the caressing, affectionate tone of the original piece, nice on.

I don’t think I could live in a upper-floor apartment in a city and still own a grand; the moving of it would be too nervewracking.

Very nice prequel. Keeps the same tone of the first one. I like all the personality you lend it, and note things that wouldn’t otherwise be noted.

To be honest, the first time I read this I wasn’t a fan.

But then I realized I was being over-protective of my own material. On rereading, I realized that you took the general feel of Seduction and put a new spin on it, which is exactly how I like seeing the pre/sequel function used here. The bondage angle is a creative way to approach the faux-eroticism which I really enjoyed.

Technically, your prose is sound and I think keeps with the floridness of its predecessor.

Good work!

I liked this. You took the idea of faux-eroticism and instead of being subtle with it, like Gentleman YaYa, you slapped the reader in the face with it. Overall, well done, sir. Also, I agree with YaYa’s post above in regard to technique.

The idea was to play around with YaYa’s premise, partly in response to this blog post:
