A tradition among the friends, the shy responsible Serina is only putting up with being ogled until just past midnight. That is when she heads for her car to go home&#8230; but at her car, passing headlights of a cab reveal a glint of metal in a crack of the asphalt.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like an ordinary man&#8217;s ring, but this ring is about to take over her mind and have Serina eagerly drinking what only the dirtiest slut drinks to Ring in the new year right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1690181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DLKH58CV\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Years ago, a mysterious ring was found that when touched possessed someone with a corrupting intelligent curse, one that took over the life of the one touching it by turning them into what they always feared becoming. Amused with its influence on the multitudes over endless years, the ring was seldom held, always tossed, but never until the one making the mistake of touching it had been fully corrupted in all manner of ways, both real and imagined.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to Ring in a whole new year, and the curse is back, finding its way into new hands, new minds and bodies, ripe for corrupting, defiling, and leaving in truly Ring Tossed depravity!<\/p>\n<p>New Years Eve, closing in on midnight, in the city that never sleeps. At a small neighborhood bar on a busy city street with countless other bars, pubs, and rundown apartment buildings, Serina is with her closest friends, Marissa and Denise, ready to ring in the new year together as they always do.<\/p>\n<p>For years, a tradition has meant that one of the girls faces a challenge for how they will ring in the new year, and this year is Serina&#8217;s turn, the buxom curvy blonde finally dressed as her friends always say the shy responsible girl should dress, a truly sexy red dress that no man can take his eyes off.<\/p>\n<p>Of the three friends, they&#8217;ve each always had uniquely diverse personalities. Marissa has always been the bold brainy one, a smart as hell brunette who doesn&#8217;t mind reminding others how smart she is, and always looking for mystery or injustice to put her brainy mind up to solving. Denise has been the easygoing, carefree, party girl who never worries about anything, and as such is the only married one of the three. But Serina has been the responsible girl, watching out for the others, always taking a level-headed approach to life.<\/p>\n<p>But on this night, barely minutes after midnight, a new year may just mean new devastatingly depraved changes for all three of the friends as they face a threat few have faced and come away with remembering.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving her friends at the bar barely past midnight, determined to get to her car and safely back to her apartment well before last call when the already staring drunken men will only be drunker and hornier, Serina is the only among them with her own car, and was fortunate to find a spot just down the street in front of an apartment building.<\/p>\n<p>It is as she pulls out her keys, ignoring the catcalls and whistles from passing cabs or strangers on the sidewalk, that Serina spots the glint of metal in a crack of the asphalt.<\/p>\n<p>Reaching down to see what it is, Serina could never imagine that picking it up, one touch&#8230; is all that will be needed to send her straight on a path she never imagined, but will definitely end up enjoying.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a man&#8217;s ring, stylish with a black band framed by two stainless bands, and it has no inscription that she can find. Figuring she should hold onto the ring for now, Serina has no idea that once touched, the ring cannot be let go until it has done what it does to all.<\/p>\n<p>After helping a nearby homeless man push his cart up onto the opposite sidewalk, Serina will meet the curse behind the ring as an impossible voice speaks of her random generous kindness. It is a voice so close, seeming to come from where it actually claims to come from&#8230; within her very mind, and this ring is destined to make her become what she always feared becoming.<\/p>\n<p>But just what is Serena&#8217;s deepest fear? What is it she has always feared becoming? When the voice mentions that Serina had a nice time at the bar with her friends&#8230; but she didn&#8217;t drink, her first assumption is that this twisted impossibly powerful cursed ring intends to make her drink. Only being a drunk is far from what Serina has always feared becoming, her deepest fears always having to do with her body, and becoming the slut so many could easily look at her in the sexy red dress and see.<\/p>\n<p>Is there any resisting the influences and puppeteered manipulation of the ring that is slowly taking over her mind and body, steering her actions to only one disturbingly devious destiny? Could Serina be very soon approaching total strangers on the street, in bars&#8230; and demanding a drink of something eagerly sucked down on her knees? And once Serina is that certain kind of drunk&#8230; is there anything she won&#8217;t do to get another man in her mouth?<\/p>\n<p>Find out Ringing in the New Year with the Kreme, and go Out for a Drink with Serina as Ring Tossed returns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1690181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DLKH58CV\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After years of being lost, an innocent looking ring has been found&#8230; and innocent is the last anyone who touches it will feel.
