In the first erotic short story that publisher and editor Lori Perkins ever wrote, she explores that very special relationship between a woman and her vacuum cleaner.

After being dumped by her boyfriend, our heroine decides to clean up her apartment using a vacuum cleaner that does nothing for her. A visit from her best friend and neighbor inspires her to a buy a new machine, the Electro Deluxe, that has been taking the women of America by storm.

After a demonstration of the machine’s amazing talents, and a review of its equally awesome attachments, our heroine decides that cleanliness is indeed next to OMGodliness.

Lori Perkins uses this short story as a teaching tool in her “50 Shades of Green: How to Write Smut for Fun and Profit” talk to show the genesis of an erotic story, from concept to completion.
