Bad Boys

[Reshbod]

I'm working on a story where a middle class wife falls for a true bad boy. It begins with the wife volunteering for a homeless shelter, halfway house or having construction work done on the house when they meet. I'm having trouble getting the wife's motivation down for getting involved with someone obviously bad news but not realizing it at first.

Just looking for any comments or suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks

This wouldn't be any help if your intention is a romance of some kind, but anyway...

Maybe she feels under-valued by hubby, who openly stares at younger women in the street. He makes little comments to her, like "you're past your prime" or "men don't look at you that way any more." He says it calmly and matter-of-factly, with no hint of malice, but she takes it as a personal insult and maybe as a challenge to prove him wrong. Maybe the bad boy builder doesn't notice her at first - he's ruggedly handsome and isn't shy of female company, after all - so she makes it her business to get him to notice her, and maybe she takes it further than she should. The bad boy can smell her desperation a mile away and finds it amusing. Of course, he intends to take full advantage of it...

My favorite bad boy take is the bad boy bartender. Works in a sleazy bar, well built heavily tattooed and cocky as all hell. A couple of business women come in and sit for a little bit he begins to flirt with one. Now the story can go that she is married to a stiff and finds herself attracted to this kid. Or my favorite is the woman shoots the kid down and tells him he is not bad for a kid but please.

She keeps coming back and flirting with him but always leaves him hanging. When she eventually gives him a shot she is in total control and this little bad ass is begging for anything she will give him.

Thanks for the replies so far.

I like the idea of the bad boy being amused and sensing the desperation of the woman trying to get noticed.

I think the rivalry aspect brought up would be good as well. The wife and friend are out and the bad boy hits on the friend and doesn't even notice the wife. The wife feels she is much hotter and can't understand why she is treated like the ugly friend. The bolder and more aggressive she gets the more she gets ignored.

The bad boy should be the complete opposite of everything her husband is and everything she ever wanted. He should smoke, but rude and at times mean. It's the bad boy who should tell the wife she is past her prime, which would piss her off but make her want to prove to him it isn't so. He should also be at the margins of society and often or practically homeless.

I think I have the middle and end of the story pretty much mapped out, it's just getting things started that is giving me trouble.

I hope to hear more good ideas or suggestions. Also, feel free to pm any comments.

thanks

i like the homeless shelter idea it can be romantic but the sex between the bad boy and the wife should be really nasty and kinky.

Ah, so you're starting out stereotyping. What makes someone from any of the three areas you have listed "a bad boy"? Maybe this middle class wife is "a bad girl" and not who she pretends to be?

I like Lovecraft's idea of his build and attitude. Make him a construction worker in her home that is tearing down walls and sheet rock to expand her Master bedroom. It is summer so he just wears shorts and boots with his heavily muscled chest and upper body always on display as she watches him working in her bedroom.

She keeps getting that tingling feeling when ever she sees him. She knows it is wrong and berates herself for the way she feels but, the need to look and even fantasize is there. She offers the crew coffee every day and he took some the first day and saw him take one drink and spit it out and throw the rest away.

The first day they started he brought his tool box in a pickup truck. He left the tool box chained to a strong structural support at night and now rides a motorcycle to work every day. (Could lead to some BDSM if that is your bent.)

She trys to approach him but he ether ignore her or shuts her down with a put down of some sort. (Maybe her age, build, or tells her he has plenty of younger chicks and doesn't meed some old broad hitting on him)

I think the story has potential. I would read it.

A lot of stories do use stereotypes, some use them to good effect and others not so much. And yes, the story could be of a "bad girl" who pretends to be a good middle class wife who corrupts an innocent construction worker. However, that is not the story I am presently interested in, which is why I suggested what I did. For whatever reason, that scenario "does it" for me while yours does not.

Instead of shitting on someones thread that you have no interest in and don't like, why not post a new thread about the scenario you do like?

I am not shitting on any thread. Nor am I peddling a different story idea. I am sorry that you do not like questions/comments pertaining to you stereotyping people.

I was merely trying to open your eyes (or anyone else's) to the fact that not all construction workers or homeless people (more homeless people are women and children than they are men) are "bad boys".

But, whatever. Spread hate and ignorance in your stories like many do with stereotypes in interracial.

Thread shitting is what you were doing and I don't need my "eyes opened". I realize that real life and stories on Lit are not the same, apparently you don't.

I'm not trying to spread hate or ignorance either. I just had an idea for a story and posted it on a stories idea forum. You came in and very condescendingly questioned my motives and what was in my mind, even though you don't know me or what is in my mind.

I don't mind questions or comments about my ideas, but honestly, you need to relax and not take thing so seriously. We're talking about sex stories, not real life!

Assume what you wish. Never have I said "the stories at Lit are the same as real life". However, similar to what YOU, yourself, have posted in the past I prefer realism in stories I read. With that, goes the notion of not spreading more ignorance. No matter the category or stereotype.

Don't worry, after this post I won't be back.




The Quote

It has already been said, but realism is definitely top on my list. I like reading about real people, not perfect Ken and Barbie types. Also, a little inner conflict or termoil within a character, such as a wife being seduced into adultery, rather than immediatley jumping into bed. The final thing is a little characterization, so we get to know and understand the motivation of the characters in the story.

 

[sexyhornymom]

A possible idea:

The older woman is widowed after her husband is killed by a young tearaway joyriding. He feels remorseful and terrible about this but he has an image to maintain with his peers so acts all cocky.

He gets off most of the charges on a technicality but as part of a new law enforcement initiative, he has to see the consequences of his actions on the victims.

This leads to some tense emotionally charged meetings with the widow and grown up children. When the widow starts meeting with him alone he lets down his guard slightly and lets her know he's sorry. She breaks down in tears and he comforts her and one thing leads to another.

Only poor people are bad! Everyone knows that.

I don't see how what I have said in the past is any different than this current thread. I do prefer realism in a story and I don't see how this post goes against that.

I'm sorry that you are too cowardly to actually have a debate and discuss this issue. If you do happen to see this, please tell me how my past post contradicts this. I really want to know.

I don't like the "rude" aspect...does being a bad boy mean he needs to treat her in a humiliating way?

I think one of the elements of fantasizing about a bad boy is conquering him so to speak, being the woman that tames him...

then too, he sees a side of her that few do...he does not just see her as a wife or a mother or what have you...he sees her as a woman...

maybe the "rudeness" aspect can come into play with the fact that she tries to hide her passion and he makes her confront it head on...

Just some thoughts

 

[Huinkte]

I think it comes down to what is a bad boy? Is he unattainable? Is he emotionally unavailable? Is he raw sexuality?

So who is this woman? Is she a bored housewife or a happy housewife?

She can be in a relationship, married. Has a loving, faithful but workaholic husband. The bad boy is someone who tantalizes her. He's alluring but unattainable. The woman is attracted to him but she resists only to be pushed into a situation where she and the bad boy are tempted and unable to remain apart. Sexual chemistry takes over. She feels guilty but she's wanted him and he wants her. He dominates her. Tells her what he wants and needs. And ultimately she surrenders, feeling guilty and yet, needing the bad boy.

Just my thoughts. Feel free to use them or not.

I personally like the construction worker idea.....but I think she would realise he is a bad boy, but wants so much to feel sexy again....(hubby ignores her or whatever) .....she thinks she can "just" flirt and before she realises it they are deeply involved???

we were in St Thomas watching these couples. well they were drinking a lot anyway, only a few were left and one of the ladies went to the restroom, and when she returned she opened her town that was wrapped around her body and she had lost her bikini bottom. I'm pretty sure it wasn't her husband she was going to bed with that night

he's a bad boy but a good man to her!

 

[Grimfalcon]

What about a convict on a work relase program? He may not be a 'bad' guy, made a few mistakes in life and paid his debt, but he is a 'bad' boy.
Works for some company owned and managed by sweet, innocent, young woman. She's repulsed and attracted to him at the same time... You get the idea where things are going from there.

she would have to know him before he want to jail

 

[Grimfalcon]

Not necessarily. She may have decided to participate in the work release program because she believes everyone deserves a second chance in life, and any one with a record is usually hard pressed to find a job after they get out. This guy wouldn’t have to be a killer or a deviant; maybe he’s actually an unscrupulous good guy in a way? Think of a rough looking John Cena type, muscles and tattoos. Say this woman and her business are being harassed by a local thug, or gang, and this guy grudgingly steps in to help her take care of the problem, even though all her employees are leery and don’t trust him of him. In the process a relationship develops between the two of them. Just some different thoughts…
