Liquid Heat:

Simone’s Notes:

The seduction community, sometimes abbreviated as Secret Underground Internet Seduction Community, is a loose-knit subculture of men who strive for better sexual and romantic success with women through self-improvement and a greater understanding of social psychology. It exists largely through Internet forums and groups, as well as over a hundred local clubs, called "lairs". Supporters refer to the subculture simply as 'the community' and often call themselves "pickup artists." The seduction community's origins date back to Ross Jeffries, who promotes a collection of Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques called "Speed Seduction". Other gurus established themselves, but lacked contacts with each other. In 1994, Lewis De Payne, then a student of Jeffries, founded the newsgroup alt.seduction.fast. This then spawned a network of other Internet discussion forums, email lists, blogs, and sites where seduction techniques could be exchanged. The original alt.seduction.fast became overwhelmed with spam, and a group called "Learn the Skills Corporation" developed a moderated alternative known as "Moderated ASF", which reports a membership of 20,000. During the same period, in the late 1990s, Clifford Lee, a consummate networker, began his Cliff's List Seduction Letter as a central independent voice of the community. Other seduction teachers emerged with competing methods, and became known within this community as "seduction gurus" or "gurus". The emergent theories coalesced on the usenet newsgroups before being systematically structured and taught by teachers such as Mystery and David DeAngelo. "The Community" was brought more in to the mainstream when, in 2005, Neil Strauss wrote The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, an exposé of the seduction community. The Game reached the New York Times Bestseller List, and popularized pickup and seduction to a broader audience. "The Community" was further publicized when in August 2007, Mystery, with his former students Matador and J-Dog, was star of the television show "The Pick Up Artist" on VH1. Nick Savoy was supposed to appear on the show but due to a professional dispute between Savoy and Mystery, Savoy did not appear. He is listed as a consultant to the show. There has also been a convergence recently between the seduction coaching industry and the porn industry. Johnny Soporno and Hoobie from Real Social Dynamics typify this trend. Johnny Soporno has worked in the porn industry for almost 20 years and has released products targeting men and women interested in the industry based on his experiences. Hoobie created a website that merged seduction coaching videos with pornography.

He met her at the show. Damon came to this burlesque club named Liquid Heat. This place became his escape. The lt. col. hid in the darkness in the near back. No one could see here there. He could just enjoy the sexy girls dancing on stage. They became his comfort. Damon knew that he couldn’t have them. Maybe that’s what made it better. The colors swirled wildly in his eyes. So many beautiful girls on stage. They were out of his reach. Probably for the best. He knew that wouldn’t last long, however. “I have to fight this for Carole and Micah!” the poor man thought desperately.

“That is so boring!” a sharp voice commented. Damon looked beside of him in the audience. Manami sat beside of him watching. The lt. col. rolled his eyes.

“What do you want?” he snapped. Manami gave him a cute little smile.

“Aw come on,” she said. “I’m just commenting on a good show.” Damon rolled his eyes again and looked up ahead. Manami looked ahead as well.

“How are you enjoying your freedom?” she asked.

“Shut up,” Damon hissed. The Fallen Princess smirked again.

“My apologies,” she said half-heartedly. “You’re lonely, aren’t you?” Damon tried his best to ignore her. Manami saw on the side of his the opening she had been looking for. Now, to pour more salt into the wound. She leaned in close to his ear.

“I know you are lonely,” Manami whispered. “I can fix that for you.” Damon looked at her without turning his head.

“How?” he challenged. The Fallen Princess smiled at him wickedly. She focused on the stage again.

“Pick a girl,” she whispered.

“Seriously?” Damon whispered. Manami nodded.

“Try me!” she said. The lt. col. sighed.

“Fine,” he said, trying to humor her. Damon looked out onto the stage once again. So many girls to choose from. At first, none of them interested him. Whores all look the same after a while. It looked like another night of loneliness for him. That’s when he saw her!

She seemed to control with all of her fire batons. The color red and the element of fire consumed her in one whole sensual gulp. Her loose fiery orange-red hair looked wet from her heat as it draped onto her lily pale white shoulders. Her ocean blue eyes glowed like flaming coals in the dead middle of the night. Her trim and tone curved body moved like a erotic belly dancer from the middle east. In what little clothes she wore, red and gold stood out on her. The colors masked her breasts, hips, and fun part down below. The fire batons that she twirled around only added onto her luscious appeal. Damon’s eyes lit up in delight. His lips curved into a small lusty smile.

“If anything, I would have her!” he said as he pointed out to the fire dancer on the stage. Manami studied the woman for a moment. She too smiled at his choice of girl.

“Very well,” she said. “You shall have her.” Manami leaned in close to Damon’s ear.

“Go backstage after the show,” she whispered. The lt. col. looked at her really confused.

“Why?” he asked. Manami stood up from her seat.

“You’ll have to see, now won’t you?” she asked. Then, the Fallen Princess walked out of the theater. Damon stared on after her. This didn’t sound good at all. Only one way to see…

The sexy show seemed to go on forever. Damon watched and waited for a long time. His heart raced in nervous fear. Something told him that he had royally screwed up this time. He just hoped that the damage wouldn’t be that bad. The show finally ended for the night. As the thick blood red curtains began to drop, Damon slipped out of the back and all the way backstage. He looked around with caution. No one in sight at the moment. Then, lt. col. looked up and saw his sexual fire angel. She was walking back to her dressing room with her fire batons. The sound of her kitten heels clicking against the hard floor sent chills up and down Damon’s spine. Everything looked find so far. Maybe there wasn’t anything to be worried about. The lt. col. realized something right away. “Hey, I can go up and talk to her right now!” he thought happily.

Then suddenly, it happened. The fire dancer just collapsed to the ground for no reason at all. Damon watched her in worry.

Oh no!” he thought. The lt. col. ran forward to his girl. He grabbed her tight to his chest. He checked for a pulse or any signs of life. She didn’t seem to have anything at all. Damon really began to panic. He looked around scared.

“Somebody help!!!” he yelled. “This dancer has collapsed! Somebody call 911!” Suddenly, the woman’s slowly fluttered her eyes open. She looked up and saw him.

“Hey,” she said. Damon looked down quickly. He was surprised to find her alive again.

“Hello…” he mumbled. The fire dancer looked around confused for a minute.

“What happened to me?” she asked. “Who are you and why are you holding me?” Damon stared on at loss for words.

“Uh…” he said. How could he answer that? The fire dancer smiled at him sweetly.

“You’re pretty cute!” she said. Damon blushed at her statement.

“T-Thanks!” he stammered out. His dancer kept her eyes locked dead on him.

“What’s your name?” she asked. The lt. col. blinked for a minute.

“Damon,” he answered. “Damon Sanders. What’s your name?” The woman’s face cheered up even more.

“I’m called Katherine,” she said. “Katherine the fire dancer.” Soldier and dancer looked at each other in warm tenderness. Maybe Manami did something good for him after all. *Sigh* If he would only took a moment to remember how much as twisted and crooked she was like her own mother, Ai-Oni. Would have saved him a whole Hell lot of trouble…
