The mighty 4!

My honourable friends,

our fourth prompt post!

That's right, number FOUR.
Like the nucleobases, the fundamental forces of physics and the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Like the number of seasons, the number of letters in most swear words and the number of boxes each tetris shape is made of.

In this spirit, here are four things to keep in mind:

Fill: The Secret

((ok, a very short fill. I've written this because I WANT Mandelborne and plan to write more and needed some starting point. Expect more Mandelborne some time in the future

I'll pine like a Victorian heroine, then :P

Okay, I'm converted. I love the Nick's torture and all the little hints you've given that Mandelson really feels he has nothing to offer. Their characters really stand out. And the sex is HOT. *greedily f5s*

Another converted added to the list who shall be checking regularily to see any updates :)

Fill: The Secret part 5/?

[anonymous]

Peter emptied his wine glass and pondered over whether to help himself to a second glass. He was vaguely aware that he had thoughtlessly placed his hand on Nick’s knee

Fill: The Secret part 6a/?

[anonymous]

Peter found that with every unexpected move, hesitation glittered in Nick’s eyes, but also that kissing Nick could banish this hesitation or at least lessen it. As slow and insistent as he could manage - again, Nick proved a test of his self-restraint - he guided him to the bed. Nick seemed to have mustered up a bit of resolve as he pulled Peter down on the bed, but Peter saw the boldness in his eyes vanish again as he shifted his body on top of Nick’s. Perhaps it was their positions that made him feel vulnerable, Peter considered

Fill: The Secret part 6b/?

Nick wasn’t the only one who had to muster all his willpower to withstand the urge to go too fast. Peter felt the need to take Nick burn, but knew, and could feel from the warm tightness around his finger, that it would take long slow preparation before he could do what he so needed without hurting Nick. He bit his lip to control himself as Nick moans got louder when he inserted a second finger in him

Damn damn damn writersblock.
I might leave this story lying around for a longer time and start some new mandelclegg at the new prompt if I can't get out of this writersblock.
All suggestions on what could happen next are welcome.

Hmmm well Nick seems more keen than Peter who is older and more stuck in his ways. Nick has more to lose as well with his wife and family, so you could either turn it into angst where Peter drops him like a hot brick and he loses everything. Or maybe he changes his mind, chickens out and goes back to his wife leaving Peter the one who is suddenly and unexpectantly heart broken. Seeing as how Peter was the one who wanted it the least at first, this would make an interesting twist.

Or of course a happily ever after where they realise they actually do want to be more permanently together and progress to an established relationship.

I really love this story. Your use of words makes the action realistic. I can picture the sex in a way that I often can't with erotic stories.

As for your writer's block problem, while this story is lovely, it doesn't necessarily have to go anywhere. Having written a couple of touching sex scenes, you could leave it here and take the pairing in other directions, starting afresh with a different premise.

Though if you do want to finish it off properly, you could write a discussion between Peter and Miriam where they talk about exactly what Nick means to each of them. There's lots of different ways that could go - a showdown, an ultimatum - or a resolution. Maybe there's some way that Nick could be with both of them. Perhaps he only thinks he's in love with Peter because of the strong physical attraction? Perhaps to save Nick's marriage, Peter encourages Miriam to buy a strap-on and teaches her how to give Nick what he wants

Surprised how much I like this! Mind you, Nick Clegg and Peter Mandelson are my two most fanciable politicians. I just hadn't ever thought to put them together, because of the personality and political issues.

Poor confused Nick :S
