        It's not a bad little story.  The dialogue could use a little help--it is a bit stilted at times.  And I use my own fantasies in what I write at times because it makes me hot. (7/10)

        Starts strong, has a believable plot. yeah the dialog could use some work but overall a nice short story. Nothing wrong with sharing personal fantasies. (7/10)

        This story begins with some good detail and a promising start... Then it descends into silliness. These lines had me laughing for all the wrong reasons;  "Untie me.... I'll make it up to you.  You have no idea how long it's been since I've had sex.  I want it so badly.  I'll show you how sexy I think you are."  .........  And,  "Please, I have to pee so badly," she whimpered.  "When I have to pee this badly, I get really horny.  Please, please help me." Another personal fantasy as opposed to a well crafted story.  Boring. (4/10)

        - I'm sorry you found the story boring.  Isn't personal fantasy what drives the stories?

        - Ok, I was a little harsh. But......   
 When a story slips into the confines of the writer's personal fantasies it's detrimental to the story as a whole.  There's a real danger of inattention to other required areas, plus narrowing it's general appeal.  As in this case.    Which is a pity; the start really does capture interest!  Dialogue is this storys' weakest point. Something that's easily improved.
