  It takes two to do more than just tango in Bussel's sizzling new collection of short stories . . . 
   
   
   
  In It Takes Two, couples take their passion in new directions, giving free reign to their filthiest sexual fantasies. Sometimes, they pretend to be someone else, engaging in erotic role-playing that allows them to embody their most sensual side and say and do things they wouldn't in their everyday life. From BDSM encounters at Kink Camp to trying out new sex toys to outrageously filthy fetishes, glorious exhibitionism and voyeurism and sex in space, these couples find inventive ways to go wild with the one they love. No matter how well you think you know your partner, there's always something new to discover about what turns them on, as these characters find out. The erotic stories in It Takes Two are all about rekindling that intimacy and seeking out total ecstasy.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  A new century dawns, one in which America would become pre-eminent as its industrial might and military power rose above all others.  In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.

  Men and women have many wild fears that are very unlikely to ever come true except perhaps in a dream that lurches into a nightmare that seems so real that it must be real. 
   
  Perhaps being a fellow traveller in a coach or a train carriage and realising, whether in a sudden jolt or a slowly rising uneasy feeling of horror, that your fellow occupants might not actually be from this world, but more probably from the next, would be such a situation. 
   
  We delighted to now put you in such good company!  Indeed Amelia Edwards, E F Benson, Violet Hunt, Rudyard Kipling and the incisive talents of many others would definitely like you along for the ride.
