One Cheek Or Two? by Regina Kammer
Professor Edward Ockham is trying not to let his attraction for his new assistant, Miss Delia Bennett, get in the way of testing his latest invention, a spanking machine for a girls’ school. Delia hadn’t expected the genius behind Newcastle’s Ockham Steam-Works Laboratory to be so damned handsome. Both turn to bad boy Sebastian Broadchurch and his curious gadgets for release of pent-up desires. Will they ever find passion in each other’s arms?
One Cheek or Two? is a workplace romance with a rom-com vibe involving a vivacious assistant in a leather corset and a nerdy engineer who might just be having a bisexual awakening. The 8,400-word short is the first story in The Ockham Steam-Works Laboratory Chronicles, a queer, polyamorous, Steampunk romance series of nine short stories set in an alternate Victorian world meant to be read in order.
Sexy fun includes: spanking, spanking machine, fucking machine, clit slapping machine, voyeurism, masturbation, multiple partners
Tropes include: workplace romance, bisexual awakening
