Hi GhostOfCovid, I think I'll just make it all in Lara's head. She's been put in a situation where she can fulfil her darkest, dirtiest fantasy and (as far as she knows) no one will ever find out about it. Combined with her rationalising it as not being her fault (Sarah's forcing her to do it. She'd never do anything like this on her own, wink wink), I think that's all it'll take to have her act like girls gone wild on a spring break bender.

Thanks LHunt and ABigFan - I'll go with non-magical.

Hi Extreme - yeah, that makes sense. I tend to agree with your points. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi everyone, just after your thoughts on a question that's come up in Voluntary Enslavement: Should the Idol of Hathor have any powers in this story? I wouldn't make it as powerful as the version in the previous Idol of Hathor story - it wouldn't compel Lara to do anything or make her lose control of her body like in that story. I'd see it more as making Lara feel the excitement and lust of who she's with etc. I could see it fitting in well with the story - Sarah deliberately choosing the Idol for Lara to recover, because she knows it's powers and wants it to slowly corrupt her. However, going down this path might detract from the psychological manipulation line - and I don't want this to just be too close to the other storyline. So, what do you guys think? Magical or non-magical Idol of Hathor?

Hi Donkingkong, chapter 3 will move on from the staff and start bringing in others to date Lara's insatiable sexual appetite, as her addiction grows. Don't worry though- Lara isn't out of tricks and won't go down without a fight. I'll also be explaining more about her struggles with her addiction and what she's going through. However, for the moment I'm switching back to writing Voluntary Enslavement.

Hi Extreme, thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll try to make it entertaining.

Hi GhostOfCovid, at least 3 but maybe 4, depending on how the writing goes. However, after starting the third chapter, I felt inspired to return to Voluntary Enslavement. I'm currently finishing part 2 of the African Gangbang and will return to Tomb Raider Bliss later.

Hi ABigFan, thanks for the positive review and I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far.

Hi Extreme, if I do your suggestion, I'll think I'll need to have a second gangbang. First one is forced in England, and then maybe a second one where Lara does it to herself. Example: she's in Central America searching for an artifact for Reiss and comes across an impoverished village. She knows she should move on, but she can't stop thinking about how incredible the last homeless gangbang felt. So she strips naked, hides her gear in some bushes, injects herself with Bliss and walks down into the settlement.

Hi Extreme, not exactly your idea but very close. Lara will be dressed in her finest cocktail dress and jewellery , thinking that she'll be entertaining Reiss and his rich friends as her punishment. Instead, Reiss injects her in the back of his car and drops her off in the middle of the slums. Affected by Bliss, Lara will be unable to resist her urges and wanders into the shady alleys. Reiss will use his connections to disable the CCTV and redirect police patrols, so that Lara isn't disturbed. He'll also have some heavily armed henchmen on the ground to film proceedings and ensure her safety. Hi LHunt. Lara will eventually require daily doses, which Reiss will deliver to her once or twice a week. Zip and Alistair will also include friends. Lara's reputation in Abingdon will take a hit, as rumours of her group activities spread, and locals notice the constant flow of men coming and going from Croft Manor.

In terms of upping Lara's drug supply, do you think it should be Reiss who does it, as a reward for Lara finding him further artifacts, or Lara demanding it - doing hardball negotiations and withholding artifacts from him until she gets her way?

Hi LHunt, I see Winston as being too honourable to take advantage for himself (at least any more than he has already). I think it'll all be in service of Croft Manor - negotiating substantial discounts for necessary maintenance work. It'll be a new golden age for the Abingdon Estate (or at least that's how Winston will rationalise it). I think Alistair and Zip will also have the opportunity to bring in friends, prepared to do work for free in return for the chance to have sex with Lara.

Hi Extreme, in terms of the homeless gangbang, I still plan on having that as a punishment from Reiss. Lara will try and double-cross him when she learns he's after Pandora's Box. She'll try not to hand it over, holding out for a couple of weeks, before her addiction forces her to come crawling back - especially after Reiss offers to increase her supply. I see Winston becoming almost her pimp, arranging for people to come back. He's savvy enough to even negotiate deals. For example, the Manor normally employs 4 part-time gardeners. They'll already have signed non-disclosure agreements, so they're a logical choice. They'll ask if the other gardeners in the company can also participate. Winston will say yes, as many as they want, if they work on the Manor grounds, but he's still only going to pay for 4. A dozen gardeners turn up the next week (the rest working for free, just for the chance to fuck Lara), and the grounds of Croft Manor have never looked better! Win-win, as far as Winston is concerned!

Hi LHunt, yes over time Lara's cravings will grow, both in terms of her hunger for the drug and her sexual appetites. Her three staff will find it difficult to keep up with her needs, so Winston will need find a way to add more men to Lara's roster, while safeguarding the Croft Family name. Thankfully, I'm sure the Manor's part-time staff of gardeners, cleaners and tradesmen will be happy to help!

Hello everyone, Chapter 2 of Bliss has posted.

Hi Donkingkong, glad you're enjoying the story so far. I'm halfway through proofreading Chapter 2. Hopefully be posting it in the next 24 hours (time permitting).

Hi New Fan, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying my stories. I wasn't planning any fisting for the current story, but there'll be plenty of it (and horse dildos) in the second half of Voluntary Enslavement (Sam will discover she has a fetish for it, and the other female Charity members will want to stretch out and ruin Lara's holes for novelty and out of jealousy for her youth and beauty). There's also plenty of fisting, large insertions and stretching in my last short story, BDSM Raider, so maybe read that in the mean time.

Hi Extreme, it'll probably be 4 chapters in total.

Hi GhostOfCovid, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Hi Extreme, yes the drug will become addictive, which will be shown in the next chapter, although the homeless gangbang won't happen until the second half of the story, which hasn't been written yet.

Hi ABigFan, thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed reading it.

Hi LHunt, glad you like it so far. Jonathan Reiss was a fun villain to write and a really great suggestion - intelligent, charismatic and even principled in his own way. The kind of character who you know is evil, but you can't help secretly liking.

Hi everyone. My goal of finishing the story this week turned out to be overly optimistic - I vastly overestimated the time I'd have free to write. So, rather than keep you guys waiting, I've posted the first chapter of the new story. I'll post the second chapter in the next few days, as soon as I finish proofreading. The second half of the story will get done when I find the time to finish it. Thanks for being patient.

Developing well, I think. There's four major scenes and I'm halfway through the second (obviously with other stuff happening in-between). I've got some time off next week, where I'm going to try and make some time to write more (I haven't had any time the last 2 weeks). 20 pages in so far (about 12,000 words), so I think it'll be a 3 chapter story.

Hi Extreme, busy but doing well.

Hi Donkingkong, sorry - no plans to release anything early. I'm 10,000 words in and writing whenever I can find the time between other things. It'll probably be 3 chapters long when it's done. So probably nothing until October/November - just judging by how much free time I have at the moment.
