Those long, dark nights (Victorian Era Dark Bodice Ripper Non/Con/light bondage)

Picture Inspirations

The basic premise for this idea is a dark and gritty Victorian Era (read I am not a history major, not everything will be 100% period accurate, we'll bluff our way through it) sort of dark and tragic romance filled with gritty realism and plenty juicy drama as well as lovely erotica and smut. Go into this knowing that some elements of it will somewhat dark and tragic (not horror or gore or any of that, but dark in tone and theme).

Set in some unnamed, undetermined location is a Noble family that has fallen on hard times. All of their once vast fortune is threatening to run out and with it their social status and their way of life. The family does have one thing, however, a very voluptuous and very beautiful young daughter who has recently come of age to be courted for marriage. She's managed to capture the attention of two different nobles already and herein begins out long and very sordid tale.

One of the nobles is a very romantic, handsome, charming man. One that admires her, respects her, is courtly and never seeks to take advantage of her and she falls for him very quickly. He, however, is a very minor noble house one that is not nearly as wealthy as the other man seeking her hand. This other noble is callous, cold, stern, Dominant and domineering. He see's her as a prize, a trophy, something to be claimed and tamed and broken to be used for his own heirs, his social status and bettering himself and cares little for her real feelings.

During the early stages as soon as the Dominant noble arrives at her household, her father who is pushing the union as it will better their own house and save them as well invites him to stay while they work out all of the details of her courtship, her dowry, all of the impending details of the union. The dominant noble uses this to his advantage sneaking into her chambers on those long, dark nights and decides to -take- is new prize early. He uses coercion and blackmail as well some force threatening her with the consequences of denying him (her family's house falling, ending up in the poor houses which were a terrible fate) as he introduces her to a world of dark sexuality and sensuality.

While this will be non/con, it'll be closer to dub con where he is forceful but knows how to play her body against her and awaken her own hidden sexual desires in ways she never dreamed of and in ways that she herself will never admit are there even as she orgasms for him, panting against him in shamed, blushing humiliation until he -forces- her to admit, only to him on those dark nights, just how -good- he makes her feel.

Now while all of this is transpiring she is still very much love with the other man seeking her heart. She sneaks out to meet him lamenting about her fate, hiding what the other man makes her do, makes her -feel- and still denying this man her body even as nightly she gives it to the other, darkly dominant one that takes what he desires from her. She spends her time tormented, hoping against hope that her other suitor will rescue her even as the date of her impending wedding draws ever closer and closer.

And..from there? Well who knows. I'm open to it going any number of ways from a happier ending to a more tragic dark romance to whatever really. It's up to us to figure it out together. So if you'd like to discuss the idea further or at all, please send me a PM and let me know your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you!
