Cinderella, in a Pirates' World (Part 1): An Erotic Fantasy

An 11k word erotic fantasy with time travel, pirates and a bit of a Cinderella retelling.

Abigail is disillusioned by the (lack of) male real estate in New York. But, after a friend's witchy spell accidentally sends her tumbling into a world full of pirates, the modern 'civilized' men of the metropolitan city (safe on land!) seem positively good by comparison.

Well, except for their delicious-looking captain with the most captivating ice-blue eyes...

Will Abigail be able to escape the pirates' world and get back to New York safely, by the stroke of midnight?

Or will the pirates manage to rock her world? In more ways than one...

And, will she be able to escape unscathed from the tentacled monster from the ocean depths?

An erotic short story, split into two parts.

TW: DC, tentacles, monster sex, kidnapping, attempted SA.

EXCERPT:

I was falling and falling and falling, faster and faster it seemed with every millisecond. Images flashed around me, too fast for me to make out anything definitive, but I felt vaguely like I was Alice in Wonderland, falling into the rabbit hole, slipping under the trees.

Colliding into a whole other world.

When I made it to the other side, I slammed into hard wooden planks.

“Ooof!” I yelled in agony, sure I must have broken a bone or something. My head throbbed where I had smacked it against the ground. I winced, feeling one inch away from crying. Gingerly, I clenched and unclenched my hands, trying to see if all my fingers still worked, before raising them to my temples, gently assessing my scalp for any injuries.

The side of my head pounded, much worse than any hangover I’d ever experienced before. I squeezed my eyes shut as the pain shot out, radiating in fractures from the point I prodded with my fingers. Ugh, that was going to be tender for a long time.

At least it didn’t seem like there was any blood.

So consumed with checking myself over for injuries, it took me the longest time to realize that sheets of heavy rain were pelting down on me, slashing my skin with a strange ferocity.

Not only that, but I’d failed to notice the hulking shadows creeping towards me. Not until the last minute. I’d just looked up, squinting into the thunderstorm, when hands grabbed me from behind, and low masculine growls assaulted my ears.

“Now, what do we have ‘ere? A bounty from the seas, it seems!”

“We ‘ave caught a siren! She’s so gorgeous!”
