~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~

“I appreciate your concern, but I’ll be fine on my own.” Adrien leaving was my chance to escape the estate and search for Cyprus. I couldn’t waste such an opportunity. Relief humored my words. “Will you be alright on your own?”

“I did consider taking you with me. It’s going to be very lonely without you.” He reached across the table for my hand. I entwined my fingers with his. “However, there’s been rumors of bandits on these roads and I can’t risk your safety.”

“That’s kind of you.” I smiled. I wondered what the real reason was. “You’ll be safe, won’t you?”

“The time will pass before you know it.” He kissed the top of my hand. I wanted to pull away.

“When do you leave?”

“In the morning at first light, I’m afraid.” He sighed. “I wish I had more notice. But I can’t pass up such a good opportunity.”

I’d asked Adrien about his work in the past, and he’d explained to me that the finer details were extraordinarily complicated. Essentially, he imported expensive goods from one city to the next throughout Rhoryn so they may be in the hands of nobles faster than any courier. During my time with him, he’d only received one other summons and he was gone for a handful of days.

“Why don’t we go to the tavern and enjoy your last night here, then?” I needed the fresh air. And gods knew I needed the wine.

“That sounds like a wonderful idea.” He tipped his glass toward me. “Let’s be off.”

Marquis de Sade's Midsummer...

Ophelia T'Wat, Robert Dwight...

Full-Cast Audiobook! 
Go Beyond Your Wettest Dreams... as If You Are Penniless and Yet Listening From Outside the Globe Theater! 
In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. By the happenchance of his birth-century, The Bard wrote in a poetic 'Shakespearean Code', hinting at sexualities and paraphilias he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended 'erotica for every fetish' morphed instead into a 'humane and wise drama' by happenchance.  
But What If? there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton. But now Ophelia T'Wat, living in a much more sexually accepting century, can reach across realities to snatch these pages from the bloody quill of the Marquis and finally, fatefully publish the Wettest Midsummer Night'sDream conceivable!

Becoming a Whore - An erotic MFM...

Ellis O. Day

Desiree’s first night as a Pleasure Associate at La Petite Mort Club had been wonderful. Lee had been sexy and kind and fabulous in bed. 
Actually, it’d been too good. 
She wasn’t there to find a boyfriend or a husband. She was there to make enough money to live her life on her own without relying on a man. She would not be her mother and survive like a parasite, moving from man to man to keep a roof over her head. 
But Lee wants to see her again, and it is so tempting. She needs to stay focused and that means she needs to remind herself what she doesn’t want to become. She’s going to have to visit her mother. 
Will she be strong enough to walk away from Lee and if she does will she be able to survive becoming a whore? 
This is episode two in a serial fiction series. These stories do not end with an HEA. 
This series will follow one young woman’s sexual journey of being a highly paid escort. The stories are erotic, super steamy, and kinky. This one is a hard look at the life of a Pleasure Associate when she embarks on her first threesome (MFM).

Don't Judge A Prince By His...

Lisa Oliver

The only goal Prince Syrius Fortune of Rosenhip had during his twin sister's "meet the suitors" ball, was to stay quiet and out of the way. His sister's event had been in the planning for five years, and he and his loving father had already agreed trying to seek a wedding contract for himself was not a good idea. Prince Syrius had quirks, and it wasn't as though he needed to open himself up to ridicule from someone else, especially a spouse he would have to get to know. The event was only a week, and being a lot smaller than his older brothers, Syrius was used to not being seen. Until someone saw him.
King Mintyn of Marinkaw had been a soldier since he was fifteen years old. He was not impressed to find out the one time of the year he was supposed to be meeting King Fortune to sign their Golden Straits agreement was apparently the one time his friend decided to have a huge event going on.
However, his aide told him he had been invited, and it was only one ball. Mintyn could enjoy some good food, network a while, and then leave the following morning once the treaty was signed. That was until he saw a young vision being hassled by an entitled duke. On learning the vision being hassled was his friend's youngest son, Mintyn decided to intervene. It was a nice thing to do. One shortened dance later as Prince Syrius walked away from him after he put his foot in his mouth, Mintyn told his aide to rejiggle his schedule. He had a spouse to woo.
This is one of those light stories that my muse weaves sometimes simply to make people smile. There are no deep and meaningful plot lines, just a bit fun between two men who look so unsuited for each other on the surface of things, but their pairing proves opposites do attract and stay together. It is in the same universe as the Infidelity Clause but is totally standalone. Watch for cameo appearances by a cupcake eating dragon, an episode of prince throwing, and potato cuffs.

Spanking Older Women 3 - Ken...

Paul Amann

Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this audiobook, Ken loses a couple of his favourite mature bottoms to spank but they are very quickly replaced with three others. Rose the barmaid loves to be spanked just like her Daddy spanked her when she was a child. Bridget works in the local deli and she can take a lot of spanking. Holly is Bridget’s friend and Rose’s sister and she needs punishment for her naughtiness. 
Philip Vincent 
Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories  
Jason Roberts 
Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
NJSpank 
Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

Filled by Him and His Mechanic...

Nicki Menage

I’ve always been a little weird and overly sexual, but I think it’s fair to say I took things too far at my boss’s auto-shop that day. When I arrive unannounced the only guy around is Mr. Miller and his top half is beneath a car so I decide to have a little fun. 
He seems to think I’m someone else, so it’s no trouble at all for me to wrap my sinful lips around his length. When I feel a lick from behind suddenly and turn around to see his friend Jack standing there things really get out of control. 
After a brief argument with Mr. Miller things quickly turn sinful, resulting in a naughty auto-shop threesome that sees both my holes filled at once.
