I started writing in 2000 right after I bought my first computer. 14 years later I still type with two fingers, but I've gotten faster! Most of my work is adult erotica, but I have written a few mainstream adventure stories. I do my own editing, and my own covers, so please excuse any blaring mistakes I've made. I graduated high school in 1982, and I sucked at English back then, so what I know now, I taught myself. I have hundreds of stories, so little by little, day by day, I will edit and upload them. I hope you find something you enjoy, thanks for stopping by! Trip Dalton

Chapter One

Stacy Campbell pulled up in front of the big cabin style house in the hills above Humboldt State. The sign in front of her pointed to the shop in back. Wells Studio with a white arrow pointing down a stone path. She turned off the engine and grabbed her bag before taking the path to a large building behind the house where she found the door to the studio.

Inside she found an array of custom glass, things like wall hangings, big Christmas ornaments, and a handful of vases, and even a few sculptures. But the thing that most captured her attention was the artist on the other side of the short wall. He was about 6’1" and 180 pounds she figured. His shoulders were wide, and his waist was narrow. He had sandy blonde hair that hung in waves around his face and neck. He turned and smiled at her.

I’ll be done in about 10 minutes.

Stacy nodded and sat down on a padded bench set up so people could watch him work. He was spinning a rather large glass disk which was stuck to a long steel rod. The rod was resting on a pair of bars like handrails but taller. He was rolling the rod while he worked the huge glass disk with a few different tools. The disk was made of a varying array of colors, primarily purple and yellow, but also included some blues and greens as well.

All of a sudden he lifted the opposite end of the rod, tipping the glass down, and started pressing waves into it. Her thoughts that it was a huge bowl went out the window. He lifted the steel bar up and pointed it at the ceiling and slowly the glass started sagging down and then slowed to a stop. He picked up another tool and in a matter of seconds removed the glass disk from the rod and slid it in an annealing oven.

Sorry about that, I have a big order I need to get done soon. I’m Joe Wells, how can I help you?

I was told you offer classes for glass sculpture, I have these vouchers from my art classes, they told me you take them?

Joe knew the voucher program pretty well, it was something he volunteered to help pilot, trying to get more people into the arts. They were given away as prizes, and for other reasons, like excellent grades and stuff. She had four of them, each worth $250 dollars in class fees.

Well I do offer classes, and I do take the vouchers, but I don’t have another class scheduled until the 5th of next month, so about three weeks I guess?

Do you know of any other studios in town taking these?

No, I’m the only glass studio that takes them, why what’s the rush?

I return home on the 1st unfortunately.

So you wanted to take something home with you I gather?

Sort of, I make a lot of ceramic stuff, but I wanted to try my hand at glass this time. I…make toys.

Really, what kind of toys would you make from glass?

Sorry, not kids toys…

Oh…sex toys, I gotcha...

The girl looked to be in her early 20s and was rather cute, and while Joe was only 27 he still saw her as a kid. She smiled and then started looking around the studio. Joe just stood there wondering what was going through her mind. Finally she turned back towards him and asked what he’d been making.

It’s part of a light unit for a new ski lodge in Utah.

So a light goes behind that disk?

Ya, you want to see the rest of it, it’s in the back?

Joe took her behind the wall and led her to the back room which was like a big warehouse. Mounted to a big wooden post was a black metal frame with bent arms going in every direction. About half of the arms had glass disks already mounted on them. Some were close to 5 feet in diameter and others were as small as 2 feet. He flipped a switch and it lit up, she told him it was beautiful.

Well I’ll let you get back to work, maybe I’ll use them next year when I return to school in the fall.

He escorted her back to the front, and was surprised when he could see her thong showing above her jeans. The tag said Micro-Bali on it. They were teal blue, his favorite color. Once they were back in the display area he decided to make her an offer.

I’ll tell you what, my glass sculpting glass is normally $500, and I only offer it to groups of five or more people. But since I’m working all the time right now I have everything running anyway. So, if you give me all four vouchers I’ll give you ten three-hour lessons.

Are you sure, I was told the class was only ten hours, seems like you’re cheating yourself?

To be honest, the vouchers aren’t worth anything to me. I volunteer to take them, like the other artists in town. They expire before the next semester, and the project you want to work on isn’t really something you’d want to do in a group right? Plus, you’re going to need the thirty hours to actually get good enough to make what you want without hands on help.

Wow, I thought you guys actually got paid with these. Now I really feel like I’m taking advantage.

No, don’t feel that way, like I said, I volunteer to take them, I even helped to start the voucher program.

She started biting her lip, and Joe couldn’t help but think she was cute. She started rubbing her bare belly just below her short t-shirt, and he felt his dick getting
