Description
Why limit yourself to one gender when you can have both? This collection of 20 stories focuses on sharing. From crime and punishment in the Nevada desert to voyeurism in Marrakech, to a 22nd century theme park where every sexual fantasy is catered for, these tantalising tales all have one thing in common. They celebrate bisexuality Office affairs, naughty weekend hunting trips, and salon sensuality, from one-on-one loving to foursomes and moresomes, this anthology ticks all the boxes! A saucy short story collection for readers who want the best of both worlds. Short and Sweet by Sommer Marsden Poppy and Ryan are used to making the most of their lunch breaks. Taking that time to get down to the business of pleasure. But when Meredith walks in on one of their decadent rendezvous, things go from short and sweet to short, sweet and seductive. A Cut Above by Izzy French Clara is in desperate need of a makeover and pampering after finding her ex Sean inflagrante with two women - women Clara found attractive herself. And she also needs to get her mojo back. Marcus and Monique, partners and hairdressers, are the perfect couple to offer their services. In the salon after hours she relinquishes control of her look to Marcus. Monique, beautiful and sexy, touches Clara, but it is Clara who immediately gains control, much to Monique's apparent astonishment. Marcus, at first happy to watch the two women enjoy each other, is eventually tempted by the sight of their beautiful writhing bodies and joins them, to everyone's mutual satisfaction. Barbecue by Landon Dixon 'Man Wanted', that's what the sign in the window of the roadside diner read. And the drifter dumped out in that middle of nowhere was just the man Steve and Laura were looking for, to help them out in the restaurant, and behind the counter. Only, things quickly went from steamy to red-hot, when more than just food got the Barbecue treatment. The Window Cleaner by Eva Hore Who had the better job, the private investigator in a law firm or the window cleaner? Sitting at his desk this PI sees more than he bargained for and what he witnesses has him questioning just that - who does have the better job? Dream World by Tony Haynes In the early 22nd century, the first of a brand new type of theme park opened. They fast became "the" place for young, single, broad minded 22nd century girls to visit. The more Renee heard about them, the more intrigued she became. Dream World is the story of Renee's first trip to the resort and the characters that she meets there: the beautiful, enigmatic Philomena; the charming, roguish Pan and the most smooth, suave devil a girl could wish to encounter...Flogging Scarlet by Athena Marie She had never wanted a woman before. She had never wanted to be in control. Then she meets Scarlet, the submissive fetish model whose raw sexuality inspires unfamiliar desires. When Scarlet asks her if she is bisexual she responds that she doesn't know. Scarlet proves that even a submissive can be an excellent teacher. Playing with Amy by Kay Jaybee When Lee's mobile rings halfway through his morning's work, he assumes Jen just wants a chat. He can't believe it when Jen tells him she has a gorgeous naked girl tied up in her lounge, pleading to be played with by both of them; and if Lee doesn't get there soon, she'll start without him. Stunned that Jen has found a woman to live out their mutual erotic fantasy, to willingly be their sex toy for a day; Lee rushes to join them. The moment Lee arrives, he and Jen waste no time before they start playing with Amy...If the Shoe Fits by Beverly Langland To the outside world Charles and Martina are an enigma. A distinguished older man with a young woman usually means one thing. Yet, things are not always how they appear. Despite her youth Martina is a woman with a colourful past, some would say well-travelled. Full of insecurities and jealousy, she is a vain wildcat from a privileged upbringing, rescued from the slums of Rio. Charles likes order, where Martina is chaos. To curb her excesses, Charles has to enforce some obedience. Just as well then that Martina likes the fiery heat of a good spanking. Sofa, So Fun by Lucy Felthouse After a heavy night drinking, best friends Kristin and Shayna share an intimate conversation where Shayna admits she's always been attracted to her friend. Shocked, Kristin doesn't know how to react. But when she opens her mind to the possibility, she discovers the thought of having sex with Shayna makes her horny in a way she's never experienced before. As the girls get down and dirty, they're completely unaware that Kristin's husband, Dan, has come downstairs and is watching them. What's more, he wants to join in...Two Girls, One Cop by Elizabeth Coldwell Fiona and Janice are on the trip of a lifetime, cruising across the Nevada desert in a cool Chevy convertible. When they're pulled over for speeding by a traffic cop with his own unique idea of how to enforce authority, their holiday really becomes one to remember...A Fantasy Threesome by Eva Hore A fantasy is something you conjure up in your mind so when you get to act upon the fantasy, when your wife agrees to your best mate being part of the threesome you've spoken about while making love will it be what you hope it to be? Will reality be as fulfilling as your fantasy? Secrets by Michael Bracken Al has a secret he keeps from his wife, Marge. On those weekend hunting trips he takes with his best friend Gary, the two men spend more time exploring each other than exploring nature. When Al returns home from his most recent weekend with Gary, Marge reveals a secret erotic desire of her own. Taking Stock by Lynn Lake Who says inventory counts are dull? Alice the auditor thinks so, until she discovers a major deviation from company standard inventory-taking procedures - two employees taking stock of one another's assets in a most intimate manner. And as she watches, her own co-worker, Michelle, introduces her to some more off-balance sheet procedures, and positions. Mystery Girl by Alcamia Payne Kitty gets more than she bargains for when she falls in love with Kamal and moves into his apartment in Marrakech. The two of them have a sexually fulfilling relationship and Kitty thinks things couldn't get any better, until that is, she notices the voyeur, Salima, the girl in the apartment opposite - who tantalises Kitty with her sexual performances. One day Kitty leaves her door open and Salima comes into the apartment. Long afternoons of sexual indulgence follow and it isn't long before Kitty discovers her hidden kink - the fact she always craved a bit of both worlds. Bitch for Life by Giselle Renarde Brian thinks he's old. The little man no longer stands at attention, and he refuses the blue pills Marina encourages him to take. Middle age is a time for chaste companionship, he says. Well, Marina won't take his lack of enthusiasm lying down. She's full of lust and she'll try any trick in the book to arouse his interest, especially if it means putting her husband in a dress and making him her bitch. Railroaded by Landon Dixon The horses were running at Sterling Park Raceway, punters packing the train out to the track. And where there were gamblers, there were grifters, looking for their own personal scores. Thomas and Anita were such a pair, good-looking and smooth-working. But after they'd made their move, they got moved in on; and the score just got harder to settle. Freedom by Rachel Kramer Bussel When Frank tells Nadine he wishes he could be as sexually free as she is, she makes his dream come true by taking him to a sex party where he gets to partake of all the sex he wants, with a set of new friends who show him he can be just as uninhibited as any other horny person in the room. Nadine guides Frank through his first blowjob, overseeing her new charge as she ushers him into the world of polyamorous perversity. Bi Today Interview by Richard Offer Gerald and Peter are same-sex lovers who meet at work. Gerald is a mature family man who, until he met Peter, thought of himself as totally straight. Peter had recently split from his boyfriend and was flattered by the attentions of a good-looking mature man. But love comes in many forms and they become besotted with each other. Three Way Play by Lynn Lake Brandon's a great boyfriend, in the physical sense - big and tanned and muscular, with short, blond hair, crystal-clear blue eyes, and an incredible eight-inch cock that can fill my pussy to the g-spot - but he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, by any means. So, it took a lot of explaining and convincing to get the guy to indulge in my fantasy - a three-way, with another man. Once in, though, he performed like a pro, making me look like a genius for making the sexy suggestion in the first place. Did I mention that Brandon's a great boyfriend? Distractions by Elizabeth Coldwell The senator's costume ball is the social highlight of the year - but Blake and Trixie view it only as an opportunity to steal his wife's jewels. Though there's still time for a little punishing fun in her luxurious boudoir - fun that takes an unexpectedly exciting turn when a cute waiter catches them in the act...

Lynn Lake's fantasies could fill a book - and have (or, at least, parts of many, many books). Her imagination substitutes for a somewhat dreary existence in the middle of nowhere home to a particularly harsh climate. She's a frustrated crime writer (few markets) and an unfulfilled SF author (no science background). Her erotic experiences, frankly, look better on paper, where she need not discriminate based on couplings, positionings, flogging devices, and/or binding materials. Rich, thick, wet ink spilling out of the golden nib of a finely-crafted fountain pen onto bright, white, textured paper is a form of ecstasy to her, free of STD's. She has a cat and an insatiable craving to express herself. Inspiration comes from everywhere, everything, and everybody she meets or sees or visualizes, but mostly from her mind (very often early in the morning when she first wakes up). She doesn't wait for the wet muse to tingle her in the appropriate places, however; oftentimes she just sits and stares at a blank piece of paper (Hilroy, lined, in a wire-bound notebook) until an idea strikes her and she pen-strokes it, first into a brief outline, and then into a full story (which usually goes through a, minimum, three-draft process). She's fairly well-read and quite good at mimicking other styles, which helps in the whole process, as does her natural shyness. Giselle Renarde is an award-winning author of erotica and LGBT fiction. This queer Canadian writer has contributed short stories to more than 100 anthologies and authored dozens of books, including Anonymous, Nanny State, and the Wedding Heat series. Her transgender lesbian romance The Red Satin Collection took top prize in the 2012 Rainbow Awards, in the category of Best Transgender Romance/Erotic Romance. Giselle's single-author anthology of transgender fiction and poetry, My Mistress' Thighs, received an honourable mention in the same category the previous year. Her work also appears in Tristan Taormino's Lambda Award-winning anthology Take Me There: Trans and Genderqueer Erotica. Ms Renarde loves a geeky girl and lives across from a park with two bilingual cats who sleep on her head. When she's not writing, she's usually up to something good... or up to no good.
