Extract

Tonight on stage, Ray Sandler was all those teenage fantasies come back to life. Sure, those missing ten years had added some silver to his temples, and he was carrying a few extra pounds, but he was looking good. Emily Rivers soaked up his every move and she felt alive again, for the first time in what felt like years.

She never thought he would actually notice her, though.

How many times as a teenager had she stared up at those posters on her bedroom wall, gazing into his eyes and imagining that, even just once, he would glance in her direction? Their eyes would lock, he would falter in the middle of a line and then pick up again, always the professional. Even if that look was all she ever shared with him Emily’s life would never be the same again.

The Roxette was a small venue. Standing room for maybe two or three hundred, and then a balcony level for a few dozen more by the bar. This was the kind of place where you’d see a band before they made it big and years later you’d tell the story of how you had been one of the select few who had seen them, back in their early days at the Roxette.

Emily stood to the left of the stage, with only one row of bodies between her and Ray. So close she could almost reach out and touch him!

He had a backing band, but they were very much in the shadows as he stood there at the mike, that battered old Gibson semi-acoustic slung low, legs spread and knees bent a little as if he was forever poised to dive off the stage. Black jeans, black shirt open a couple of buttons; hair cropped close and blue-black under the stage lights, apart from where the silver showed through at the sides.

He opened with ‘Poison Berries’, an obscure track off the first Angry Cans album, from before they made it big. It was one for the true fans and the perfect track for the venue, somehow wistful and demanding at the same time. A young man’s song played by someone who now had the skill and depth to make it something else entirely.

Oblivious to the bass, electric piano and drums somewhere towards the back of the stage, Emily watched Ray’s hands on that guitar. Some great musicians look like they’re working hard and you really appreciate all the effort they’ve put in. Others appear to have lazy hands. Hands that drift over a keyboard, hands that stroke the neck of a guitar.

Ray was definitely in the latter category, working that guitar almost effortlessly.

And when he sang, he just leaned into the mike as if someone had moved it almost beyond his reach, and his tone was like honey with a smoker’s rasp. He’d never had that extra depth to his voice before. Maybe it was just hearing him live that brought it out, or maybe it was the years and hard living he’d been through to get here.

“Why does it taste so sweet?” he sang. “When all that you give me is poison?”

There was anger in his delivery; that old fiery magic, but with a new passion that sent chills racing through her body.

She’d expected to feel more self-conscious, here on her own like this because her old friend Marcia had pulled out at the last minute. Instead, she felt just a little bit dirty. Deliciously dirty: standing there with the perfect view of Ray, drinking it all in and feeling like a teenage girl again. You’d never have got this kind of view of him back in the day. Side on, she could follow the line of his leg, revel in that swivel of the hips. He really hadn’t put on too many pounds in his time away, and he’d clearly been staying fit.

Just then, the opening song came to a close. Ray tossed his head back and – briefly – held the pose, and it was exactly how she remembered him from one of those posters.

Was it wrong for a woman in her late twenties to want to squee like a kid?

The next track was something new. That’s why they were here, after all: an intimate, unpublicized gig so he could try out new material, after years away from the limelight. It started with a single, sustained note on the guitar, crystal clear, a little flat and then bending the string until it was perfect and you didn’t even realize that he was holding the same note with his voice, too, as the tones merged. Then the band kicked in and it was back to his trademark choppy guitar style. Something about first times… peeling back the layers until everything’s like new. A comeback song if ever there was one. The melody glided above that choppy, bluesy backing. This was going to be a real grower, Emily thought, and then he was looking right at her and…

He didn’t falter for a moment. It was nothing like that teen fantasy she’d played over and over in her bedroom back when the Angry Cans were just making it big.

His eyes were on her, connecting, and then almost immediately moving on.

She tossed her head back and laughed. She’d had her moment. She’d made eye contact with Ray Sandler! She could die a happy woman.

Then when she looked again, his eyes found her once more.

“Peel me back,” he sang directly to Emily.

She faltered, lost track of what she’d been thinking.

“Make me raw.”

Her legs were like jelly. Who’d have thought she’d be such a girl tonight?

“Find my heart, and make me soar.”

A brief raising of the eyebrows – a reinforcement of that fleeting connection – and then he swung away, and those effortless hands danced up the neck of his guitar as he broke into a solo, full of string-bending and long, mellow sustain.

Her heart pounded in her chest like an animal desperate to escape.

If only her teen self could see her now!

As she watched him, he latched onto someone else in the crowd and sang to her, the bitch. Expert stage technique: sing to a select few and everyone feels as if you’re singing directly to them.

Before she knew it, the track came to a close and she started to whoop and holler.

Ray had lost none of the magic, and tonight was proving to be the perfect antidote to the way Emily had been feeling recently. She really needed to get herself out more, have some fun.

She closed her eyes, and in her head she was back in that moment when his eyes had met hers and he really was singing to her, alone. It had been a nice little fantasy while it lasted, and one she would treasure. And whatever she did, she was most certainly not going to stand here through the rest of the show just waiting for him to make eye contact again…

It’ll be just like old times, she said. But I didn’t know what she used to do at college….

When the invitation for the reunion arrived, I figured that showing off my gorgeous wife would be the perfect way to get back at the jocks who’d bullied me. But when we got there, I was shocked to find that my long-time tormentor, Brad, was her ex-boyfriend.

I hadn’t known that they’d dated. Or that my wife had a wild sexual appetite, back in her college days…and now, it had been reawakened. I could only watch, helpless, as Brad seduced her in front of me. And that was only the start of his plans for my wife….

This epic serial (over 80,000 words in all) sees the hero’s wife in situations that involve cuckolding, BDSM, lesbian, interracial and multiple partner scenarios and bareback action.

Tied to Please Her: the boxed-set by Polly J Adams

Four explicit erotic stories featuring hot wife cuckoldry, bondage, anonymous encounters, and much more.

Christina Winters has it all, but still there’s something missing. She wants to explore and try things she’s never tried before. When her husband finds this out he encourages her. His only condition is that she must tie him to the bed and tell him everything…

The Swingers’ Club

The club turns out to be exactly what Christina needs: the perfect place for multiple encounters with men and women, including the blackout room where everything is anonymous and all other senses are heightened by the complete darkness.

Unfinished Business

Christina last saw Taylor three years ago, but there’s no harm staying in touch online, is there? No harm indulging in a little chat and flirting. No harm in meeting for an innocent coffee… But when Taylor does that thing of his, making her go weak at the knees and wet most other places, should Christina back out, or should she go with it and give him just one night to remember?

All Tied Up

When Christina’s perfect online date turns out to be a man who likes to be in control, have things gone just one step too far? “He hurt me,” she tells her husband later. “He hurt me and I liked it…”

Four Play… at the swingers’ club

When the club runs into trouble Christina has to get together with the owners to try to save it, in a way only they could manage. First, though, Christina and her friend Selena must deal with the gangsters who have come to chase the club’s debts.

Finding the romance in a BDSM club

First published over at One Handed Writers:

My current work in progress presented an interesting challenge for me. Some of my most successful stories such as The Billionaires’ Sex Club and At The Swingers’ Club have featured sex clubs and BDSM, but while they’ve been plot-driven they’ve also been explicit erotica, published under my Polly J Adams pen-name.

When the invitation came to write something for a romance boxed set that features a BDSM club, it seemed a no-brainer for me to say ‘yes’ at first. It was only later that I started to wonder about how it would actually work. Romance can be explicit, of course, but the key difference is that it’s about the relationship, not just the sex.

A relationship story in a setting that, by its nature, would be explicit…? The more I thought about it, the more I realized I hadn’t actually written anything quite like this before. And what’s more, I couldn’t get my head around how I might tackle it!

The more I investigated BDSM clubs (I do love the research aspect of my job!), the more it confirmed my own hands-on experience that people tend to, erm, specialize. That’s perfect for erotica, and even some kinds of romance, but it just wasn’t sparking the ideas for me.

So I stepped back from it all and tried a different approach.

One of the main reasons I started writing erotica and erotic romance was the exploration aspect. There are a few kinks I come back to, but more than anything I love trying different things – in life as well as in fiction. My characters tend to be strong women who are faltering or who have ended up at a point in life where they realize they need to reassess.

And that’s when I hit on my approach to this new story: it’s not about a particular kink, it’s about Julie, a young woman who is exploring not just her sexuality, but her life and what she wants. She’s still dealing with the end of a relationship where she was tightly controlled: both in real life and at the Club Extraordinaire she was the sub to his dom. Now, without him, she realizes that she still wants to keep the Club in her life but now there’s so much more to explore.

All of a sudden, Club Extraordinaire came alive for me: it was the place where Julie could explore her sexuality but also it was the center of her explorations of who she actually was and what she wanted.

Nothing is simple, of course, and when she gets involved with a mysterious stranger she knows she will have to deal with how this new relationship will be affected by her other life at the Club.

It ended up as a short novel under my PJ Adams romance pen-name, more explicit than my other romance but retaining that focus on characters and their relationships, and with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Once I had hit on the right approach, I had a whale of a time writing it, and I hope that energy comes across to readers.

Escape will be published in early November as part of the Club Alpha boxed set, along with novels by Selena Kitt, Alanis Knight, Terry Towers and nine more fabulous authors.

New erotica bundle: At the Swingers’ Club

How does a trip to Europe lead to running a suburban swingers’ club? A set of four steamy stories following Selena and Martin on their journey from a visit to an adult show in Amsterdam to turning their home into a club for like-minded friends.

Swinging in Amsterdam

“What haven’t we done yet?” On a whirlwind tour of Europe this is a question Martin and Selena often ask. It’s their way of reminding themselves not to miss out on the sights. But in Amsterdam, a city famous for its relaxed attitude to sexuality, the question leads to a visit to an adult show and an invitation impossible for the adventurous couple to refuse…

Bringing it Home

“There must be others. Here. People who like to play.” Turned on to the swinging lifestyle on a trip to Europe, Martin and Selena are keen to bring their experience back home. But how do you find people who share your adventurous spirit and just want to party? And when you do find them, just where will it all lead?

The Walk of Shame

Humiliated and abandoned, her marriage in ruins, Julie wants to feel desired again, and she wants to do some of the things she has never done before. Was sleeping with strangers a revenge thing? Perhaps. But also, it was one of the most exciting things she had ever done.

Back to Basics

“Selena woke to sunlight slanting in through the window and a naked man in her arms, and for once she knew immediately who it was.” Running a swingers’ club can be a very demanding thing. Exciting and exhausting in equal measure, the club has started to take over Selena’s life. Is now the time for her and Martin to step away and get back to basics?

Four explicit erotic stories featuring hot wife cuckoldry, bondage, anonymous encounters, and much more.

Excerpt

“You okay?”

Selena nodded, and took another sip of her coffee. They were out for breakfast at a little diner a couple of blocks from their home, an early start before they headed on to work.

“You seem miles away.” Those dark eyes had a way of fixing on you and seeing deep.

“Just thinking back,” she said. “That was such a trip.”

“Amsterdam?” he asked. He knew her so well. He’d read exactly where her reminiscing had taken her, and that now was the moment when they would finally get things out in the open.

“I’ve never done anything like that before,” she said.

“Me neither.”

“It surprised me, I think–”

He reached out and put a hand on her forearm. “It’s okay,” he said. “We both got carried away. Place like that…” Before ending up at that party they’d wandered the city’s famous Red Light District, had a few drinks, and then gone to one of the sex theaters…

“There was a moment,” she said. “One moment that keeps coming back to me.”

He raised an eyebrow, prompting her to continue.

“You on your knees… watching Nadia go down on me. Your pants around your thighs. Your dick hard. Jerking off while you watched me and then that look of surprise on your face and you looked down and there was another hand on your dick. That blonde woman. Then, even as I watched, the way she just ducked her head down and started to suck you…”

A slight squeeze on her arm. “Like I say,” Martin said, “we both got carried away.”

She looked at him. For a man who could usually read her like a book, just sometimes he could be particularly slow. She covered his hand, where it rested on her arm. “No,” she said. “I don’t mean it like that, honey. What I mean is… wasn’t that just the most horny, sexy thing you’ve ever done? Seeing you turned on like that, watching you respond to a different touch. Such a turn-on!”

He glanced around – had she spoken too loud? When he looked back he was smiling. He must have started to realize he didn’t need to feel guilty, didn’t need to do the whole sensitive thing over that one wild night.

“What was she like?”

He looked down, away, then back up and fixed her with his look. “She did a thing,” he said, keeping his voice low. “Where she jammed her mouth tight around me and then ground down into my lap. I’ve never felt anything like it.”

“How so?”

“It was such an unexpected mix,” he explained. “Tight and hard, but then the softness of her tongue, the wetness… It was almost too much, too intense, but the kind of ‘too intense’ where you’re just begging for her to do it one more time.”

“Are you hard now?” She trailed a finger nail over the back of his hand, and then along his wrist to his forearm.

He nodded.

“Are you thinking of that mix of stubbornness and curiosity I have? Of how you know I’m just going to have to try that on you until I get it right, and that’s exactly why you just told me in such detail?”

That smile broadened, and he nodded again.

“And are you going to be horribly frustrated that it’s now eight-fifteen and I have to get to the office for a nine o’clock meeting?”

He shrugged. “That gives us fifteen minutes until you have to catch the train,” he said, “and I’m sure we can find somewhere discreet. I promise you: it’s really not going to take that long if you get it right.”

She sat back and slapped his hand, a little harder than she’d intended. He laughed and she laughed, too, then she stood, fixed him with a look, and said, “Well what are you waiting for?”

Setting erotica free

Here’s one published recently over at One Handed Writers:

Why should you look out for authors and publishers who give their work away?

At first glance, the answer would appear obvious: Hell, it’s free.

But there’s a little more to it than that. Standards in erotica can vary hugely. With publishing so easy these days, there are often very few quality controls involved in the process, which contributes to this. Also, erotica can be profitable, and this draws in those who just want to use the genre to get rich quick. These ‘authors’ aren’t necessarily interested in erotic fiction, or even writing as a whole: a couple of years ago they would have been creating websites that were nothing more than link farms designed to send you through to online shopping sites, with those responsible raking in advertising and affiliate fees. For these authors, the bottom line is to publish anything that can get through – often either badly written, badly produced, and/or stolen – and all optimized to get people to part with their cash as quickly as possible.

It can be hard to spot this kind of thing until you’ve paid up, but one indicator is to look for freebies.

Giving our work away for nothing is a sure sign of confidence. I have several free titles available – two have gone permanently free in the past month – and for me and my publishers this is a sign of faith in a body of work. The only way for this to work is if enough people read the freebies and like them enough to go looking for more.

And, of course, for obvious reasons, this is a strategy that doesn’t work for the internet marketers because it would mean they had to be operating to higher standards.

I know there are flaws to this argument: for instance, schemes like Amazon’s KDP Select allow you to set books free for a few days at a time and this can give books greater visibility for when they’re paid-for again.

But setting a book permanently free is another matter: the publisher is giving the book away on the basis that its quality will sell other books.

So, confidently I hope, I’ll provide a few links here for free books that might just introduce you to a new favorite author.

First of all, a couple of mine:

Just gone free at Amazon: Swinging in Amsterdam by Polly J Adams #erotica

The first story in my Swingers’ Club erotica series, Swinging in Amsterdam, has just gone free at Amazon in the US. This book is now free at most retailers (although not yet at Amazon in the UK, sadly – that’s in Amazon’s hands).

Here’s a little more about the book:

“What haven’t we done yet?”

On a whirlwind tour of Europe’s most romantic cities, this is a question Martin and Selena often ask. It’s their shorthand way of reminding themselves not to miss out on the sights.

But in Amsterdam, a city famous for its red light district and relaxed attitude to sexuality, the question takes on a whole new meaning. A visit to a very adult show leads to an intriguing encounter with the theater’s manager and an invitation impossible for the adventurous couple to refuse…

Excerpt

The address Nadia gave them was a short distance away, an easy walk according to the map on Martin’s iPhone. Night had drawn in while they were in the theater, and the streets and bars were bustling.

They threaded their way through the Red Light District, hand in hand. No words. Selena wasn’t sure what to say, or what they were heading towards.

Finally, she tugged at Martin’s hand, forcing him to stop and turn. She stretched up and kissed him. So different to kissing Nadia’s full lips: his kiss was firmer, his lips harder, and his stubble scraped. And those strong arms wrapped themselves around her so that her body just molded itself against his.

“You okay?” he said, when they eventually pulled apart.

She nodded. “You good with this?” she asked. So much still unspoken, but now she understood that they didn’t need to say it out loud: they both knew what kind of party they were heading for, and they were both good with it.

“Any ground rules?” she asked.

He shrugged. “I love you,” he said. “Will that do?”

She nodded, took his hand, and they walked on.
