While Unknown Futures is not the first story I wrote an F/F love scene
in, it is my first story where the two women end up together in the end.
When I decided to write Unknown
Futures, it was originally supposed to be a sequel to Celestial Seduction,
carrying on Carrie and Frey’s story. But it didn’t work. I couldn’t think of a
plot that would work. Instead I made them minor characters in a new 1Night
Stand story. I’d already written two, and wanted to try something different.
The line has everything imaginable in terms of plots, but there weren’t any F/F
romances at the time. I decided to
challenge myself and have my next 1Night Stand story introduce two females
looking for love. Challenge being the key word.
But then I thought to myself, I
don’t have a penis. If there’s one thing I know, it’s my body. I know what
I like, where I like to be touched, and what parts of love-making bring me the
most pleasure. I don’t know what sensations men feel during sex, but I do for
women. I don’t have to worry about the unknown penis, the unfamiliar male point
of view. I can do this!
I have written more F/F stories since Unknown Futures and have been

“Miss Jewel Barnaby?”
Her eyes darted toward the tall, austere man in surprise, nervous
tension knotting her shoulders. She almost didn’t respond. No one had called
her Jewel since she’d left the hospital two years ago. Instead they called her
ugly, freak, or monster. The doctors had done all they could, but despite the
several surgeries and multiple, painful skin grafts, everyone in Prescott,
Ontario would always know her as the girl who was splashed in the face with
acid on the biggest night of her teenage life.
They’d been in his garage, grabbing blankets for the after-prom party.
When he’d tried to get fresh with her, she’d had to tell him, a jock through
and through, she wouldn’t sleep with him, that she’d preferred women. But he
didn’t take no for an answer. Pinned against his truck, her heart racing in
panic, she kneed him in the groin. Doubled over, he’d grabbed sulfuric acid
from a shelf behind him and splashed it in her face. Everything after that
moment became a blur until she woke up in a hospital, groggy with painkillers, a
tube stuck down her throat. She couldn’t see a thing with the bandages covering
her eyes, but felt and heard her mother by her side.
From then on, some of her neighbors looked at her with disgust, sympathy,
or fear. Others glanced away when she passed, as if she didn’t exist, including
her old friends.
The chauffeur simply smiled at her as he reached for her two oversized
suitcases. His professional, impassive demeanor calmed some of the butterflies
dancing in her stomach.
Standing on the curb, she stared down the road, sure neighbors spied out
their windows, wondering why a limo would be picking her up. I need a
break from this place. As she slid over the leather seat of the Ford
Excursion limousine, her stomach tightened. Madame Evangeline’s text had been
brief. Pack for two weeks. The limo will meet you in front of your building
in an hour. She’d had no time to do anything but change and throw clothes
in a suitcase.
Until now. Had applying to 1Night Stand really been a good idea? She
could end up with her date running away, screaming. And why had Madame
Evangeline told her to pack for two weeks when her date was only supposed to
last one night?
