Temptation ~ The second novelette from "Different Desire", a Gay Victorian Romance and Erotic novelette collection

stiffly. “Besides, as your teacher, I do have certain responsibilities.”
    “Rubbish,” Winston mumbled.
    “What was that?”
    “Nothing,” Winston said innocently and lowered his voice . “I was only wondering if you would dare to kiss me when we are alone in the carriage on the way.”
    Oliver hesitated, torn between his feelings. Kissing Winston had proven to so easily get out of hand ; on the other hand, the carriage did have rather soft velvet cushions , and it was quite a long ride to Bournemouth train station …
    Adjusting his thin brass spectacles, Oliver said slowly, “That would be rather unwise, I believe … ”
    “Indeed,” Winston replied. His mischievous smile sent a small shiver down Oliver’s spine , and he shuddered despite the warm summer day.
    Oliver rolled his eyes at him. “You are hopeless!”
    “I know,” Winston agreed calmly as they entered the elegant carriage.
    Nevertheless, the carriage barely had time to leave the first corner from the Wycliffe Castle before they kissed.

    ~ About this story ~
 
    I wanted to write a story about growing love and desire between two young gentle men in the i n a classic Gothic setting. The story was slightly inspired by “ Wuthering Heights ” by Emily Brontë, but also (to a lesser extent) “ Dracula ” by Bram Stoker.
    Wycliffe Castle does unfortunately not exist in the real world; however Highcliffe Castle, a couple of miles from Bournemouth, is quite similar to Wycliffe Castle (although Highcliffe Castle is much smaller and not quite so old, since it was built in the 1830-ies).
    Some of the research for this story included: University gowns worn by students during the Victorian era, interior and furniture styles during the 16th and 17th century, and boarding schools. I am in debt to the Victorian and Albert museum in London where I spent an entire day taking notes for this story (and trying to convince myself not to steal a couple of the lovely evening dresses or corsets from the 1800th fashion exhibition ... ).
     
    I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I liked writing it!
