Pros & Cons to sleeping with a Clone

Hello, it’s a pleasure to be back on Erotica For All! Thanks for visiting me!

Many of my stories involve sexy aliens, but with my most recent release, Made For Her, I wanted to try a different type of character, though still in the genre of sci-fi. So, I decided to have a clone as the hero. Not only does this story deal with the moral issues of cloning, but also the search for identity that a clone might go through.

Dare is the thirty-second clone of Daniel, Mikayla’s deceased husband. Yet, she is not aware that Daniel had clones made of himself. Not until Dare asks to leave Onatria labs and be trained as a space pilot, as the other clones are created to do.

He is determined. Until he meets the woman who will train him. Then the only thing he wants is her.

What are the pros of sleeping with the clone of your deceased husband?

–          You don’t have to worry about calling out someone else’s name

–          You already know what the package looks like

–          You can try new things you didn’t try before

–          You can retrain if you didn’t like things before

What are the cons?

–          If you didn’t like the package before, you’re stuck

For Mikayla

–          Clones are seen as second-class citizens and not allowed romantic relationships. Therefore it’s taboo.

–          Even if it wasn’t taboo, Dare is a lower rank than her in the military and a relationship with him could mean the end of career.

Will Colonel Mikayla Jones cave?

How about you? What would you do if you met a clone of someone you were once romantically involved with? Would you give them a chance, or see them as less than human?

Made For Her Blurb:

After terrorists murder the love of her life, Colonel Mikayla Jones trains squadron after squadron of the clones he brought to life, to take to the skies. When she discovers a young clone of her husband in her newest class, her world spins out of control. How can she command the look-a-like when she can’t help but yearn for him to fill an ache in her heart?

Dare was created to be the best. As the first Daniel clone to leave Onatria labs, he needs to prove he is more than just a DNA copy. To do that, he must rely on the wife of the man who donated his genes. But when she refuses to train him, Dare faces discharge and returning to the labs. Can he convince Colonel Jones to finish his training and find a way into her bed? Or will long kept secrets unhinge the entire clone project?

Excerpt:

Colonel Jones eyed each one of her new cadets, examining the neatness of their uniforms, while inspecting for signs of stress or over-anxiousness. She’d never seen the telltale muscle twitches or sweats in any previous clones, only in human-borns, but she had to look for them anyway.

The first generation of clones didn’t live long enough to become cadets. Their hearts gave out within a year after incubation. But the scientists at Onatria had plowed on, utilizing more of Daniel’s research, speeding up the aging process with hormones to create the perfect generation she saw before her.

She’d had female clones in previous squadrons, but the government filled the one in front of her with testosterone-driven masculinity. If she’d been younger, she’d have a hard time concentrating. But her days of crushes and fantasies were long over. She was devoted to serving her country and planet, and nothing else.

That didn’t stop her from going out on the town for a stress-relieving fuck from time to time. But these young men in front of her appeared so virile, sure to last longer than any of her previous sexual partners.

No. As junior officers, and more importantly, as clones, they were off limits.

Inspecting them gave her the opportunity to check out more than their fatigues and tics, but if they knew her thoughts, they’d walk all over her. She’d be done.

They were of varying nationalities, builds, and heights, all fit to serve the planet. None of the cadets revealed any indication he would put the lives of others in jeopardy. This will be an easy squadron, every one of them ready to fly in a matter of weeks.

She reached the last cadet and froze. Her stomach clenched. No, they couldn’t have!

She pivoted on her heel and rushed off the tarmac, leaving the squad without an instructor.
