A Streetcar Named Temptation

One Ticket. One Night. No Limits.

I’m sharing a collection of micro-erotica—bite-sized stories under 1,000 words. Think of them as fleeting moments, tantalizing glimpses into worlds I’ve started to create but haven’t yet finished.

Your role? Simple. Heart your favorites.

The ones that ignite the most passion, curiosity, or downright obsession will evolve into full-length stories or even sprawling series. Your feedback shapes what comes next—so don’t hold back.

The streetcar smelled faintly of metal, worn leather, and sunbaked pavement as I stepped onto the F-line. I wasn’t a tourist—I’ve lived in San Francisco for years—but today, I decided to play one. Camera around my neck, backpack slung low, and an excuse to lose myself in parts of the city I’d never bothered to explore.

But the game shifted the second I saw him.

The operator sat at the helm, one gloved hand gripping the polished brass lever with the kind of easy confidence that made my breath hitch.

He looked like he belonged on the cover of some gritty noir novel—dark, sharp eyes focused on the tracks ahead, a strong jaw dusted with the faintest trace of stubble, and full lips set in a line that said he didn’t smile often, but when he did…

His skin was a warm bronze, catching the late afternoon sun filtering through the window. His hair—short, black curls faded perfectly on the sides—peeked out from under his cap. A faint scar curved across one brow, giving his face an edge, but it didn’t dull his beauty; it sharpened it.

The way his uniform fit him wasn’t helping either. The navy blue button-up stretched slightly across his chest, and the sleeves were rolled up just enough to expose his forearms—lean, strong, and traced with faint veins that hinted at both strength and control.

I told myself to keep walking, just sit and stop staring like some love-struck idiot. But when his eyes flicked up to meet mine in the rearview mirror, a slow smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth.

I dropped into a seat near the front, half chub.

I couldn’t stop sneaking glances at him for the next twenty minutes. Every time the streetcar hit a bump, his body shifted with an effortless control that had me gripping the metal pole next to me a little tighter. His gloved hands worked the controls with smooth precision, and every now and then, I’d catch his gaze in the mirror again.

It was like he was daring me to keep watching.

The streetcar rattled its way down Market Street, and I was more aware of him than anything outside the windows. He was all confidence and swagger, with a face carved by some higher power that had very specific plans in mind.

When my stop approached, my stomach tightened. I stood, clutching the strap of my backpack, trying to suppress the nerves fluttering in my chest.

I paused near the front, his presence pulling me in like gravity.

“Uh… thanks, oper—operator,” I said, my voice coming out a little breathless.

He turned slightly, his dark eyes locking onto mine directly this time. Up close, I could see faint flecks of gold catching in them, the late afternoon sunlight streaming through the window, making them almost glow.

“Anytime, handsome,” he said, his voice low and gravelly.

My knees felt like they might buckle.

Before I could stumble out onto the street, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a slip of paper, and scribbled something down. His gloved fingers slid it across the ledge, slow and deliberate.

“Name’s Hawk,” he said, his lips curving into a smirk that felt like a promise. “Don’t leave me waiting too long.”

I took the paper, my fingertips grazing the leather of his glove. His warmth lingered as I stepped off the streetcar and onto solid ground, my head spinning.

Once I was clear of the platform, I unfolded the slip. A phone number, underlined twice, stared back at me.

I exhaled shakily, tucking the paper carefully into my pocket.

I was hunted. And if Hawk was looking to catch me, I wasn’t about to make him chase too hard.

Later That Evening…

I stared at my phone for longer than I’d like to admit before I finally texted.

Me: Hey, it’s Gage. From the F-line today.

I hit send before I could overthink it. The three dots appeared almost immediately, then disappeared. I groaned, flopping back onto my couch.

Ten minutes passed. Then thirty. Then, an hour.

And then—ping.

Hawk: U’re hot AF.

I blinked at the screen, heat rushing straight to my dick… rock hard.

Hawk: Free tonight?

My heart stuttered in my chest as I typed back.

Me: Yeah.

Almost instantly:

Hawk: That’s what’s up. U into 3somes?

I swallowed hard, my thumbs hovering over the keyboard as I processed. The directness shouldn’t have surprised me—not with the way he looked at me on that streetcar.

Me: Depends. Who’s the third?

He didn’t reply right away, but when he did, I could practically hear his voice in my head.

Hawk: You’ll like him. He’s hot. A direct copy of me. 😉

My breath hitched. Twins! Fuck ya.

Hawk: Come through.

The address popped up a second later.

I sat there for a moment, staring at the screen, my pulse thrumming in my ears. I grabbed my jacket, stuffed my phone in my pocket, and headed out the door.
