Uranus Rising

By Mercedes Del Ray

Paul is a hard hitting, self-starter who is used to getting what he wants in business, as well as in his personal life. He’s a bit of a bastard who is thoroughly disliked by the people who work for him, although he has no problem in attracting women.

When he finds out that his long term girlfriend has left him on the advice of an astrologer, he is so delighted that she has gone, that he goes to see Susan to say thank you. He is extremely attracted to this flame haired beauty and makes an appointment with her to have his own horoscope cast, although he is very cynical indeed about pseudo-sciences, as he likes to think of them.

Despite their differences, Paul asks Susan out and they start seeing each other regularly. However he soon finds out that the apparently submissive woman he’s been dating, isn’t quite what she appears to be, with far reaching consequences.

This book contains description of sexual acts and swearing. It is aimed at a mature audience.

Chapter One

When Susan stepped out of her dilapidated council flat, and locked the front door behind her, she was in a good mood because it was the first day of February – her favourite month of the year. Not just because her birthday was coming up; soon it would be light when she left the house for work. The amaryllis bulb she’d planted a couple of weeks ago, had started to send a thick, phallic shoot skywards. She looked forward to seeing frogspawn in the ponds on Hampstead Heath. Things were definitely on the way up now. It would be spring soon.

After a short walk to the New Age shop she worked at in Camden Town, she arrived feeling refreshed and ready for anything. Glad that her boss James was out for the morning, she planned on having a little skive without him breathing down her neck.

She checked the diary, to find nothing was scheduled except a delivery, so she opened up and made a cup of herbal tea before occupying herself with tidying up and dusting the shelves.

As she rearranged the displays of crystals draped with funky, colourful jewellery, she started in surprise as she heard the door opening. It wasn’t often a customer arrived this early in the morning. When she turned round, she found a tall, dark haired, good looking man standing in front of her and caught her breath. She tried not to obviously check him out, but her heart skipped a beat as she asked what she could do for him.

Well to be honest I’m not here looking for anything specific right now. I’ve only come in to say thank you to a lady named Susan, for helping me a great deal a couple of months ago.

That’s me. How did I help you? By now Susan was very curious what reply the man would give."

You did a horoscope reading for my now very ex-girlfriend.

Who was that then?

Her name’s Angela and she’s a very insipid blonde. Not much up top really!

After thinking for a few seconds, Susan did recall the inoffensive, attractive young woman who’d sought her advice. She had dissolved into tears during their appointment. Saying nothing about this, she simply confirmed she remembered her

Thanks to you, Angela accepted the job up north she’d been offered and moved out about a month ago. I’ve been trying to get rid of the stupid bitch for six months, but she didn’t have anywhere else to go. The rents in London are bloody ridiculous - I’m not such a bastard I’d chuck her out on the streets.

Right well, I’m glad to have been of service. Although Susan had been trying not to smile, she couldn’t help chuckling as she replied.

You definitely were. Although I think astrology is a load of garbage personally – it’s typical Angela to believe in all that. What an airhead she was, I’m so glad she’s out of my life.

You shouldn’t knock it until you try it. A lot of people swear by the service I offer, that’s why they keep coming back. Susan was determined to defend what she did for a living.

You know I can’t help thinking that I’ve seen you somewhere before, have we met?

I don’t think so; you’ve never been in here have you?

Definitely not! Astrology is a load of bollocks if you ask me, I’m off to work now. Anyway thanks again, see you. And with that the man was gone.

A couple of days later he was back – Susan recognised him as soon as he walked in and tried not to stare, as she was again struck by how handsome he was.

Hello again, what can I do for you this time? She smiled as she spoke.

I’ve been thinking that there must be something in all this astrology business, one of my employees has told me she swears by your advice – she reckons your sessions with her are a bargain. Now things are looking up, I just want to know what the future holds for me. With a shock of surprise Susan realised the man was lying. He’d come back to see her, although she was still sure she’d never met him before at any time. He couldn’t hide his body language from her – it was obvious that he wanted her arse. With a thrill she felt her nipples harden as she looked at him.

"Well that must have been a come down for you to have to admit
