Cuckold by Request

Edward Dean knows his wife wants more than his usual brand of gentle lovemaking, so he signs a contract with By Request, Inc., a business that specializes in custom sexual experiences. He expects a tame lesson in seduction, a little something to spark Kelly’s interest, as he settles in front of newly installed video monitors and waits for the fun to begin.

When a powerfully built man appears onscreen, he does way more than “spark Kelly’s interest”. He unleashes her wildly sexual side—the one Edward quickly realizes he hasn’t been satisfying.

He’ll be damned if he lets Kelly get what she needs from a dominating stranger. Bolting from his seat, Edward takes his rightful place behind his bound wife…


Letting Off Steam

After rugged loner Harrison Denton spends a night in Carly Jameson’s barn, she realizes she’s missed an opportunity to have a no-holds-barred, no-strings-attached roll in the hay. But after years of holding back and letting the opinions of other people control her actions, it will take a determined and capable man to bring the wild out in Carly.

Luckily for her, the rough-and-ready man who has just come into her life has what it takes. When the two of them come together, Harrison is forced to face facts—sex with Carly is more than a one-time opportunity to let off some steam. It’s a very personal challenge that just may loosen the grief holding his heart hostage.  


Roughneck by Request

Fed up with her so-so sex life, Sadie Walker seeks out the services of By Request Inc., a business that specializes in custom sexual experiences. She expected a good time with a handsome man, a willing partner who’d follow her lead and do whatever she asked him to.

When the roughneck who’s been hired to take her on wrestles her down and demands that she submit to both him and his hired hand, Sadie realizes that unleashing her sexual side is a two-man job. She knows her afternoon in the barn is a one-time fling, so she’s ready to take all she can from her roll in the hay.

Total-e-burning
Short Story
 
Two men, one woman, a secluded beach and a challenge - which man really knows how to give her what she craves?

Dominic Santos is fed up with Jace Cater's know-it-all about women attitude. That's the only reason he accepts the challenge - a four day road trip to see which of them really understands how women think. He knows Jace is wrong about women and is ready to show it. Sweet talking a woman into having sex isn't a guarantee of having a good time - finding a woman who knows what she wants is.

Keera Koltai is convinced she's lost her sexual spark. Burnt out from her work at an adult toy store, Fantasies Inc., she's headed south for some time alone - away from men. But thanks to a washed out causeway, she finds herself stranded on a tiny island with two guys. For years, she's listened to customers talk about lust at first sight, but she'd decided if it hadn't happened to her already, it was never going to happen. Her instant reaction to the men proves that theory all wrong.

Working in a sex shop has dulled her sexually so when she takes time off to re-group, she's pleasantly surprised when a stranger's advances reawakens them. Plus the realization that having control during sex is sexy in itself, something she never seems to hav
