On either side of the ocean, both took some time to catch up on their messages. As usual, Shiba had many to read, while Justin had far fewer. Among the messages, one stood out to Justin. He smiled, confident that Shiba would feel the same once she saw it.

'Festival Of Erotica' was the title of the message that had captured Justin's attention, and beyond its headline, the details brought a smile to his face.

A gathering was set to take place to bring together big hitters in the erotic industry. Writers, publishers, manufacturers, and actors. It sounded fascinating, although it might be aimed more at those with a much higher level of expertise than Justin's story-writing skills would suggest.

Shiba smiled as she read the details of the exhibition, just like Justin had. However, her interest was primarily due to the venue's location in London, where her like-minded online friend, Justin, lived.

"You'll be able to pick up some tips and who knows what else," Shiba said in her next message to Justin.

Justin smiled upon seeing Shiba's comment. It was filled with the mischief and humour she often displayed, which made chatting with her so enjoyable.

Justin and Shiba shared their stories on a site with a global membership. However, the site’s administrators believed that their planned presence at the festival would be of greater interest to those in the United Kingdom than to people living elsewhere. While this might have been true, Shiba was just as excited for Justin as he was for anything that brought her joy.

In addition to the global news about the festival, people in the United Kingdom were informed that they had the opportunity to be guests at the event. A story-writing competition would be held to select the recipients. Justin knew his experience might not meet the necessary criteria, but he shared the information with Shiba, even though she was in America and ineligible to enter the competition.

Although Justin lived near the festival venue and could easily purchase tickets to attend, he chose to enter the competition instead. He believed that Shiba would enjoy collaborating with him on a fun project. Shiba thought Justin's idea was good. They both loved sharing creative thoughts, and the competitive aspect didn't bother them at all.

Collaborating on their shared story was a way for Justin and Shiba to learn more about each other. Justin always made sure not to write immediately after reading what Shiba had created, as the vivid images she conjured and her expressive style were too distracting!

Justin and Shiba felt proud of their completed project, which they submitted using a special version of their story template that allowed both members to post and share access. There was still plenty of time for others to participate, and additional information was available for those planning to visit The Festival Of Erotica.

"We will be holding a draw for participants in our competition. Those who meet the publication standards will have the opportunity to read their stories aloud to attendees at the festival. Please remember that this is all in good fun. Participants who we believe have worked independently will either receive a playful spanking or have one denied, depending on which they would dislike the most," the message stated.

Predictably, with Shiba thousands of miles away from the festival venue, she and Justin won a storytelling raffle prize! In many ways, it was unimportant; the fun of participating was what truly mattered.

The day after the raffle was drawn, Justin and Shiba received personal messages from the website's administrators. They both needed to read the messages twice to convince themselves they had not misunderstood.

"We will host a live feed for members on the day the stories are read aloud, and we will also create a video. This means that even if you’re on the other side of the world, you can share in the experience with your co-author."

Justin and Shiba had already shared many smiles, but none were as bright as the ones on their faces upon receiving this news.

With their story complete and plans set for the broadcast and video, it was now just a matter of waiting for the big day. The website sent messages to Justin and Shiba, and reading them often reminded them of how much they had already shared.

While most of the messages were sent to both Shiba and Justin, Shiba received a few that were meant solely for her. The only person she would have liked to share the excitement with wasn't allowed to know about this bonus, which Shiba respected, despite the sense of anticipation it created.

The night before Justin's public speaking engagement, Shiba reminded him to recall the fun they had while creating the story together. Justin replied that he would remember those good times, but he hoped he wouldn't dwell on the feelings he experienced when Shiba shared the parts she had written. He worried that if he did, he might stumble over his reading—or worse, get arrested!

Justin had already decided that he would give his best while reading the story, and knowing that Shiba was there in spirit would be a great comfort. He approached the venue's reception, having resolved that worrying wouldn’t be beneficial. When he saw someone from the website flash a smile and greet him, it lifted his spirits significantly.

The area designated for performances had numerous seats arranged in front of a small stage. Many of the seats were already taken as people watched promotional videos on the large screen situated between the stage and the audience. There was a lot of activity in the hall, as well as on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Shiba had already accessed the website broadcast. Two technicians had set up her equipment after the website had dispatched them to her home and they had helped her feel comfortable using it too.

Amy, the website's admin manager, introduced Justin to the large crowd. She briefly spoke about the competition and its winners, explaining that others selected at random would also be reading.

"This was a co-author competition. Those paying close attention may notice that the raffle prize winners are one short, but today’s technology can solve nearly any problem."

As Amy paused, Justin looked across to the big screen, which was at an angle that meant he could see it. He saw Shiba standing with papers in their hand. It was their story and they would be reading it out together.

"No need for nerves now, Justin, she's right here with you," Amy said as she left the stage.

Shiba now had the chance to watch Justin read his portions of the story. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Justin also had a similar opportunity. A camera was set up to broadcast Shiba's reading on a big screen at the festival, allowing both in-person attendees and online viewers to tune in. As they read, Shiba and Justin experienced the performance together. It felt incredibly special and erotic.

Seeing each other’s supportive faces allowed Shiba and Justin to read with confidence and joy in their hearts. Their words conveyed a passion that only such collaboration could inspire. It was the most extraordinary experience imaginable for their creative partnership.

As Shiba and Justin's reading had been taking place, the number of people paying attention to it, either in person or online, had risen dramatically. The website and The Festival Of Erotica catered to many tastes, but even some favouring more extreme pleasures found themselves captivated by the story and its delivery.

As Shiba and Justin continued their reading, the number of people paying attention, in person and online, increased significantly. The website and The Festival Of Erotica appealed to a wide range of interests, and even those with a preference for more extreme experiences found themselves captivated by the story and its presentation.

Justin listened to Shiba as she brought the story to a close. He already knew what she would say, of course, but hearing her say it and looking at her face as she did? A memory he would treasure. When Shiba had experienced similar a few moments earlier, she had come to the same conclusion.

After Justin stepped off the stage, he was approached by many people. Some thanked him and congratulated him on his delivery and creativity, while most were eager to learn more about the story's co-author and her remarkable talent as a writer. Justin had no issues with this; he understood how special Shiba truly was.

Justin made the short journey home. Before going to sleep, he decided a simple message was all that was necessary. He and Shiba would make time for much more later.

Justin's message received a response within minutes. Shiba was very direct.

"I thought today would have worn me out, but It hasn't. Call me!"

Justin called Shiba immediately, Instead of a greeting, Justin could hear the unmistakable sound of Shiba fingering her wet excited, and dreamy sighs. Justin made similar arrangements, and Shiba was delighted to hear his cheeky laughter as he began to stroke.

"My fingers are like your lips, your touch, and your beautiful mind," Shiba whispered.

"My touch brings you joy, encompassing your mind, body, and soul," Justin replied.

Justin and Sheba took themselves into their shared world. They pulled, thrust, groaned, and moaned their way to a loud and delicious shared climax.

It was a special end to a special day. One they would never forget sharing.

'Goodnight from London. A city reminded today what erotic means.'
