In this story I wanted to play with a different take on the genre. The main character uses a magic artifact to fulfill fairly modest sexual fantasies.
********
Luke had barely known his uncle Michael. He recalled a quiet man who always had a knowing smile and cool composure. Just two weeks after his funeral, a package arrived from the attorney over his estate.
Nephew,
I had no children of my own but have always thought of you as my heir. I leave you this familial artifact. Use it well. It brought me endless satisfaction but ultimately cost me a future. You will soon see why.
Use it sparingly.
Fondly,
Michael Dresden
There was also a rich mahogany box that contained a tarnished silver ring and an additional handwritten note.
To use the ring, rotate the pattern to the inside of your hand. Place your thumb on the design and hold while you make eye contact with your mark. You must keep contact with the ring and their eyes for 10 seconds. The pattern will grow gradually hotter until it becomes unbearable. When you next fall asleep, you will enter that person's mind. This journey will last until your body wakes. During the occupancy, you will have full control. The mark will have no recollection of the event. I don't know what happens to them but they won't know that it is you unless you leave clues.
He dropped the note back into the box.
How could this possibly be true? The old man was crazy.
Luke placed the box in his office and forgot about it for several weeks.
Luke was a fairly successful man with two kids and a wife of 17 years. They lived in a sleepy neighborhood and had a comfortable life. Everything was stable and average. He realized that he was lucky but we wanted more. Luke had always had a remarkable fantasy life.
For a man in his forties, Luke's release was his neighborhood parties. A few of the families on the block would get together to drink and unwind. Not all of the families were close and friendships ebbed and flowed. It was one of the last opportunities in life to be one of the guys and lightly flirt with the wives.
After one such get-together, Luke drunkenly fished the ring out of the box. He held it in his hand for a few minutes, thinking about his uncle. He placed it on his right hand. The ring was cold but fit well.
The next day, Luke was at work. His normal 2:00 team meeting was boring as always.
What the hell,
he thought,
might as well try this.
During his update, Luke touched the symbol and kept eye contact with his teammate Brian. Brian was a friendly guy. They had worked together for 3 years. As Luke talked about the metrics for their new commercial offering, his heart skipped a beat. He felt a burning sensation on his thumb's tip. He held it as long as he could before letting go.
"Are you ok, Luke?" Pam, his boss, asked with concern. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
Luke was distracted for the rest of the day. He looked at the ring on his hand as he drove home. He fidgeted with it during dinner and while he helped his kids with their homework.
"I'm not feeling well," Luke offered to his wife. "I'm heading to bed early tonight."
"Uh huh," Candace answered with her normal nighttime enthusiasm, as she stared at her phone.
Luke laid down at 10PM. At 10:30PM he woke to find himself in a strange living room. Fox News was on. He was holding a beer. Looking around the room, Luke was clearly in Brian's house.
I can't fucking believe it works!
He put the drink down and walked to the kitchen.
What if this is just a dream?
He saw the reflection in the microwave. Brian stared back at him.
Luke-as-Brian walked all around the house. He felt out of breath as Brian's fat body worked the stairs. When he opened the bedroom door, Maggie looked up at him.
"Everything ok?" she asked
"Fine." he answered, hoping he sounded like Brian. She seemed content with his answer and went back to watching the TV. Luke walked back downstairs and found Brian's phone. Luckily, it didn't have a lock pattern. He wrote a text message to himself and sent it with a ;) emoji.
Luke was utterly curious about what he could do with this power. Brian was a friend and he wished him well. He sat back down and tiredly closed his eyes. When Luke woke the next time, he was in his own bed. The alarm clock buzzed him awake.
Was this all a really vivid dream?
Luke hurriedly reached for his phone. He opened it to find a text message from Brian sent at 10:40PM. This confirmed his suspicions. Luke's life was about to change.
That day at work, Luke felt like a tiger. He watched his coworkers with anticipation. He made his selection. Nadia was the new girl on his team. She was in her mid twenties and had a beautiful smile. She was tall and lean. Luke watched her finish a call at her desk. He made his approach.
"Hey Nadia, what do you have planned for the weekend?" he inquired. He positioned the ring.
"Hi, Luke. My boyfriend and I are driving to his parents house for the weekend. How about you?" she answered politely. They chatted for a few minutes. Luke made the magical bond.
Once again, Luke went to bed early. This time, he woke to find himself in Nadia's body. She was in bed. He immediately reached down and felt her firm breasts.
Just like I imagined.
It was simultaneously thrilling to both touch and feel touched. He looked around.
No boyfriend. Thank God.
He found her phone and went to the bathroom.
Luke-as-Nadia turned on the light. Her eyes stung but quickly adjusted. He unlocked her phone with a fingerprint. Admiring her long, young body in the mirror, he quickly disrobed. He ran her fingers along her smooth, shaved vagina. Luke felt excited but his arousal felt disembodied.
I probably have a hard-on in my bed
, he thought. He snapped a few pictures of her. He pressed her breasts together, pulled on her nipples, bent over. He squatted over the phone and spread her pussy open. His excitement surged.
He sat down on the toilet and went to work making a new gmail account.
