Prologue:
A lifelong collector of goods and objects from far and wide has passed and left the entire collection and the business built around them to the only remaining relative, a niece on a career path of her own. Vikki has taken on the task of administering the estate and liquidating the business and collection. However, she has come to find out that many of the goods have been cursed or enchanted with amorous powers that affect those who encounter them. These are the stories of some of those encounters with objects found at
Amorous Goods

"What were you doing, I've been looking for you, Dylan," Nikki demanded.
"I was just taking care of something, that's all."
"Wanking it again? If you got time to wank it, you got time to do work at work... that's productive to the whole business, not just for you," she griped.
"I was not masturbating, I was looking at a few leads on some things. What kinda guy you think I am," he waved his arms around.
"A sexually frustrated guy, who's turned to porn."
"Look... it's been slow all day, pretty much anything that can be done in the store has been. The only thing I could do, is wash the step van."
"Find anything online or our usual contacts?"
"No."
"Then wash the van," she walks off.
"You wash the van." He yells after her.
With a grimace he struts outside, grabbing car care products from the garage, retrieving the hose, looking at a basement window, muttering; "soon sweetheart, I'll be back," before dragging it across the backyard to where the step van sits, grabbing a ladder, hosing off the roof, the rest of the van, before soaping it down, taking a mop to the roof and else where, spraying it off. Satisfied at the bare bones work, decides it's time for a well deserved reward. Walking back inside.
"I'm coming baby, as quick as I can."
Morgana returns from a cleansing, uploading the recorded process in her office, taking a trip down to the basement to check for any activity. She runs in to Dylan coming down.
"What are you doing with that old mannequin," she wonders.
"Nothing why?"
"Why is it on that bed, Dylan?"
"I don't know Morgana, maybe it was moving around and laid there."
"Why are you going to the basement?"
"Doing a once over, there's nothing else to do, might organize it... ya know... do my job."
"Stop messing with that mannequin, at once," she glared.
"I'm not doing anything with the mannequin, Morgana."
"Heed my words boy... heed my words," she walked up the steps.
