“Begging for More – BDSM”: The Senator’s Daughter
All her life, Becky was warned of the horrific things that the drug cartels, terrorists, and political extremists would do to her if they could because her father was a powerful Senator. She heard so many stories about the wicked men and their deranged dungeons that her fantasies became entangled with the darkest depredations imaginable, to the point that she can find no satisfaction unless taken to the edge of extremity.

“I Just Wanna Watch – Cuckold and Hotwife”: Dorothy’s Domestic Bliss
When Dorothy is caught bent over the 23rd floor conference room table with Brad, the HR intern, behind her, her husband Calvin thinks that a change of scenery is in order and they move out of the city to a farmhouse in the country.
At first Dorothy is afraid that her impulsive pleasure seeking ways have come to an end. But when she throws herself into domesticity, she finds that chores like doing laundry, baking pies, and picking up packages at the Milhawket post office offer plenty of opportunities to connect with her neighbors and discover new kinds of pleasure.
“Take All Cummers – LGBTQIA+”: Checked by the Chess Club
Ginger Joy is on the road with the Vixens on Revue tour, and as much as she loves spending time with her pals Candi, Camille, and Lola, she’s feeling the need for a little more mental stimulation. Her on-line chess games just aren’t tickling the itch for real competition.
Luckily, she finds a chess club meeting in town and decides to hit it for a little over-the-board time. Once there, though, she discovers that she needs to employ all her skills to help club president Ted overcome his heartbreak, and also welcome some new club members.

“The Tickler – Comedy/Parody”: Members’ Only Night at the Supermarket
Cleanup on aisle three!
The flyer on the break room wall at MacIntosh and Sons’ Market offers a great wage for a special overnight shift open to members of an exclusive shopping club. Tami needs the cash, and so signs up for the shift, not realizing that the extra duties are a little … well… messy …
Be prepared for the jelly, mustard, and chocolate sauce to fly, and beware what lurks in the produce section — that thin plastic apron may not be sufficient protection when the sweet and sticky juices start to flow!

“Not Afraid of the Dark – Dark/Taboo”: Bound for Eden
Can pleasure be punishment? And vice versa?
When Kyle and I caught our employer red-handed in a scheme to defraud the government, we had two options: go to the authorities, or find a way to profit ourselves. Choosing profit over principle is how Carl Slager made his billions, but when his lackeys discover that we’re skimming a little cream off the top of his stolen profits he doesn’t see us as kindred spirits. He sees us as a threat
But his daughter Eden has different ideas for how to deal with us than her father’s brutal designs: she offers us a weekend entertaining her guests at their desert estate in exchange for our freedom. The “entertainment,” though, turns out to be far darker than we could ever have imagined …

“Being Scared Turns Me On – Horror/Paranormal”: PURSUED
Things are getting spooky in Callie’s Costume Closet …
Callie’s head is still spinning, and not just from the sexy romp she and her husband Luca had when they put the cheerleader costume they found in the mysterious closet to use in their bedroom. Something strange happens every time they play with the costumes — it’s as if they’re transported into a new world where their fantasies become reality and their sexiest dreams come true.
“Hearts Will Race Romantic Erotica”: Dido Reclaimed
Dido Cook wants it all, and more …
Dido knew going in that “Camp Oneidewish Nights” wasn’t going to be an Oscars contender – it was just a way to fill her summer between seasons of “Amy and Lisa Rule the World”, and maybe give her career a little boost for the next Oscar-worthy role. And there wouldn’t be paparazzi at isolated Lake Makanogin trying to see if she had developed a long-sought-after baby bump.
What she didn’t plan for was Max Andersen, her sexy co-star from “Pink Slip Blues,” and the enticing peppermint lattes he magically produced in the wilderness every morning. And she didn’t plan for the way the call of the loons across the lake and the glitter of the stars above the water would awaken passions in her that her husband Reggie had never kindled.
“Any Holiday is a Smut Holiday”: Dorothy’s Stocking Stuffer
Join Dorothy and her friends for a very merry Milhawket Christmas!
The first dusting of snow brings out the holiday cheer in Dorothy. She finds a box of vintage decorations in the attic of the old farmhouse on the outskirts of Milhawket, which sends her on a quest that brings her into delightfully intimate contact with a woodsman, a snowplow driver, and a frisky elf.
The big Christmas cheer, though, comes on a snowy night when a mysterious visitor appears with a very long list of Dorothy’s indiscretions over the last year and a very kinky plan to bring a little discipline to Dorothy’s life …
