BLACK is the New Erotica

You know BLACK's work.  The woman is a prolific and iconic writer in another popular genre.  We can't tell you BLACK's true identity, but we sure can introduce you to the other side of this soft, romantic author--her nasty side! Party of Four is her first venture into erotica and she definitely embraced her mission, giving you a peek into a long-term marriage that is anything but boring and humdrum in between the sheets  So, consider this your invitation from BLACK to a birthday party for four...in bed.

To indulge Mark's fantasies, she'd dressed up as a waitress, nurse, teacher, prison guard, slutty office temp, flight attendent, package delivery woman and a cougar.  As often as once a week, she found fanasy suggestions--taped to her computer mouse, coffee cup, toothbrush, mirror and thong drawer--as to what woman he wanted greeting him when he locked their bedroom door that night.

Debby ran her hand up the inside of her thigh and found wetness.  She was always charged with sexual energy that had him just a thougth away all day, every day...
