Summary

W. Somerset Maugham is one of the greatest short story writers in English literature. His complex characters and fascinating themes haunt people long after they are finished with reading his works. 
Maugham's stories mostly deal with lives of Western, mostly British, colonists in the Pacific Islands and Asia. They typically express the emotional toll the colonists bear by their isolation. Rain and Outstation are considered especially notable.

    Obedience training for a bully… 
Wade Johnson is the golden boy jock at our school, the star quarterback-- and a total jerk. He started calling me a “queer” back in ninth grade, and he and his football goons have been hassling me every day since. 
But now I’ve got something to keep Wade in line-- a video that could destroy his social life and end his football playing days for good. 
You’d think Wade would keep that in mind, and try to stay on my good side. Play nice. Keep the other jocks from messing with me. But Wade’s not that smart. 
At school, he’s still the same homophobic bully he’s always been. So after school, he has to make it up to me. 
It’s almost like that guy wants to be punished.

    Warning: Explicit Content. "The Hotwife Learns, Her Husband Squirms" Series. Joey Carlson loves his wife, Brianna to the moon and back. Sure, he thinks she’s stunningly beautiful in every way. But equally important is that she lives by the same old-fashioned and deeply conservative codes of ethics and decency as he. And Joey greatly respects that. 
  
Well, all that decency comes to a screeching halt when, one day at work, they are called to a staff meeting by Pierre Cartier, CEO of the French-based lingerie manufacturer Chatte International. The topic of this meeting? Sexual harassment. 
  
Since this phenomenon has been on the rise lately, Mr. Cartier has decided to ‘demonstrate’ various examples of sexual harassment so that the dirty-minded managers will know what behaviors to avoid and the female workers will know if and when their boss has crossed the line. And how does he plan to demonstrate? By calling a starstruck Brianna to the front of the room, offering her a hefty bonus in exchange for her cooperation, and having her play the part of his secretary! Joey is outraged and appalled—not only because Mr. Cartier would even suggest such a thing, but because Brianna actually goes along with it! 
  
He is shocked that his sweet, innocent, and modest wife is willing to take part in such a travesty. But apparently, she is so flattered that such a handsome, refined, and masculine man as Mr. Cartier would choose her, and she is in such awe of him that she is apparently willing to participate. 
  
Not that she enjoys it. The things her boss proceeds to do are beyond lewd and humiliating. And yet, as the situation unfolds, she is growing increasingly aroused by everything her boss is doing to her in the name of employee education. Yet, as outraged as Joey is, he’s finding himself growing at least as aroused as her. He can’t help it. Yes, he’s appalled. Yes, he’s jealous beyond comprehension!

That challenge quickly escalates into an epic game of Truth or Dare. Erin's sure she’s got him on lock, but as the night progresses, Warren's dares intensify, drowning her in lust. But with the past still breathing down their necks, there's no way either of them can win . . .
