  About the story:    
     
 

Lindsey is ecstatic when Brent announces that their bed is going to get a little crowded soon, but he couldn’t have guessed that emotions are going to be a tad complicated as well, when he suddenly experiences a sexual identity crisis…a crisis that he doesn’t know how to solve without possibly alienating his best friend or his wife…

Meanwhile, Rory of the hot bod and all-American good looks, believes in taking things slow, and unwittingly fans the flames of desire. Until things come to a head during a filmmaking on the fine art of loving…

  The following is an excerpt from the story for your enjoyment:  
         
 

“Fuck me. Fuck me good. Now, now…please…”

Lindsey didn’t care that she was asking—no, begging—the man with the stern, unyielding face to fuck her. For what seemed like an inordinately long time, he had done everything he could to raise her senses to fever-pitch excitement, sucking and nibbling on her most sensitive parts, allowing her to hover at the brink of the chasm of ecstasy but pulling back just as she was about to soar. At this moment, he was on his knees between her outstretched legs, his hands lifting her hips up so that he could bury his face in her pussy, his pointed tongue stabbing into her cunt.

She writhed and rolled her hips on the bed, she pulled at his thick hair, she beat her heels weakly at his back but sadly, all to no avail. She couldn’t stand this anymore, the pressure in her belly was too tight, too tense…and she was close…very close…

“Fuck me!”

He raised his head and grinned. Oh finally—finally—he was grinning, which meant he was ready to give in to her demands. She knew him well, this man, and he never failed to excite her. Just one touch of his hand or one look at him was enough to send her blood pressure soaring. Now, the sight of his cream-covered face sent an erotic thrill through her that had her shuddering.

“I love your dirty mouth, sweetie.”

“Much…as I also…love your mouth…in my pussy,” she huffed, “I want your cock more.”

About the story:    
     
 
 

Shelli can never have foreseen how one revised board game is going to change her life forever.

It all begins when she prepares to attend her company’s annual dinner and dance party with her best friends, Adrian and Ethan, but she gets more than she bargains for when lust hits her right between the eyes the moment she catches them in flagrante delicto. She is so shocked she denies the attraction and thinks herself a voyeur, then is totally thrown out of her depth when she is tormented by fantasies of threesomes. But how can she risk their long-time friendship for sex?

Adrian and Ethan are happy as a couple, but they want Shelli too. After several failed seduction maneuvers, they decide to give it one last try by seducing her with an erotic board game especially designed to set them all afire.

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
         
           
  In the following excerpt, the three of them were dressing for the party, and Ethan was commenting that Shelli dresses faster than anyone he knew:  
         
 

“She’s been at it since three this afternoon,” Adrian pointed out. “It’s no surprise if she reaches the finish line first.”

“I know, still…” Their eyes met in the mirror and there must have been something in his eyes because Adrian turned around and they were face to face.

Helplessly, Ethan took the necessary step to bring them within an inch  of each other. His breath  caught at the intensity in his lover’s eyes, now that he was looking into them directly. His head reached across the space between them.

“It’ll be over before you know it,” Adrian murmured, just before their lips merged. They tasted each other’s mouth with soft, licking kisses, before Ethan parted his lips and drew first Adrian’s upper, then lower, lip into his mouth and sucked on them. He forgot everything and buried his hands in Adrian’s hair to press him closer, moaning with need and desire, and in response, Adrian angled his head and they shared an open-mouthed kiss, tongues playing and chasing in the caverns of their mouths.

“Hmmm…” Gripped in his lust and never breaking their kiss, Ethan pulled Adrian’s shirt free of his pants, threw it over his lover’s head, then buried his fingers in his lover’s luxurious chest hair. Moments later, his lips replaced his fingers and his nose snaked a sizzling path down Adrian’s chest, ending when his tongue darted in and out over Adrian’s turgid nipple. Adrian groaned and gripped Ethan’s shoulders tightly when he sucked on the nipple and the sounds that Adrian released affected his groin directly, making his cock ache with furious longing. The hand gliding down his back did nothing to assuage the painful ache.

There was no one like Adrian. Ethan felt the same dizzying wonder as he had many times before, that this magnificent, breathtaking man loved him, lived with him and was willing to grow old with him—as both lover and friend. The amazing thing was that he’d known Adrian for years but never in his life had he imagined that their friendship would grow deeper by their becoming lovers. They’d shared a lot with each other when they were merely friends—hopes and dreams, joys, sorrows, ambitions—but as lovers, they’d opened up their entire souls and nothing was secret from the other.

Ethan unfastened Adrian’s trousers and lifted his head. “I want you, now, here, right this minute.” The trousers fell unheeded to the floor as Ethan cupped his hand over Adrian’s straining erection. “God, Adrian, I can’t wait anymore. I want to suck your cock, to ride you hard and fast—” His chest was so tight he couldn’t continue and he let his fingers do the talking. His hand wrapped around Adrian’s rigid cock and pumped with firm, deliberate strokes. Up, down. Up, down. Feeling Adrian growing longer and harder made him salivate. He wanted to take Adrian’s thick cock into his mouth, to feel his mouth engulfed by Adrian’s hot, pulsing rod.

Adrian’s green eyes were molten with desire as he stepped out of his trousers and maneuvered them toward the bed. Ethan never relinquished his hold on Adrian’s cock, he continued pumping and stroking as they shuffled toward the bed. Finally, Adrian was lying spread-eagled in the center of the mattress and he invited huskily, “Come, lover.”

Ethan took a moment to shrug out of his clothes, as they constricted his movements. He knelt in between Adrian’s legs and lowered his head to rub his lover’s stiff cock on his cheek, enjoying the heated, silky sensation of Adrian’s cock against his skin and heightening the sense of anticipation and sexual tension that hovered between them.

“Agh…Ethan, you tease,” Adrian roared. “Suck my cock, damn it.”

 
           
           
           
  New Contract      
           
  Yay! Ellora's Cave just contracted the first book in Madison's Musical Aphrodisiac series entitled "Sex Symphony". Nice title, huh? Actually, for this story, Madison first came up with the title, then she started plotting the story, and the characters are soon speaking to her because she was blotching everything up, telling her that this is how their story should go...  
           
 

Book 1 of Musical Aphrodisiac

A magic violin that rules them all in lust…

Chelsea is enthralled by the magnetic violinist Kyle Montgomery, and at the first pure notes that trilled into the night, she is bombarded by a lust so powerful she lost her breath. She loses control of her body, and she hungers constantly for the hardness of a man's arms around her. To confound her further, she finds herself attracted to the equally compelling brilliant composer Grant Thornton...who dislikes her.

Bound by the magic that flows from the violin, the three are inexorably drawn to one another to assuage their deepest needs. But when the notes fade away, who will be left to hold the violin and play the symphony?

 

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

  Book Recommendation      
     
  Just in case anyone's interested, Madison & Kai have been reading the Kushiel Legacy series by Jacqueline Carey. Kai started reading based on Madison's recommendation. It's a fantasy six-book series (with the author having completed book 7 just recently), with lots of sex (not so graphic as in erotic romances though) and tones of BDSM (again, not so graphic, and quite...arousing). But, that's not everything. The heroine is a courtesan who was drawn into the political intrigues of her nation by being at the wrong place at the right time. She makes a damn good heroine though and the story is interesting and page-turning (even without the sex).

Madison is now reading Book # 2, Kushiel's Chosen, while Kai is still in Book # 1, Kushiel's Dart, and both don't expect to finish the whole series by the end of the year, so they may still be recommending the Kushiel Legacy series in the next newsletter, unless they take a break and read other things for awhile.

So, if you're a person who enjoys a damn good story (fantasy with a dash of romance and a lot of political intrigues and a spice of sex), the Kushiel Legacy series is worth a try. Start with Book 1, Kushiel's Dart, as it would give you the overall flavor of the series, with the heroine describing how it is like to grow up and be trained as a courtesan.

Enjoy!
