My Three Gifts To You

It’s Christmas morning here in Australia and I’m writing a blog post. Aren’t I good?

Thighs as Taut as a Fully Laden Clothes Line

With Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller now available in paperback, I thought I’d give you one of Caitlin’s clearer nightmares to whet your appetite: Chapter 4 Mercedes – Red – Chris – Her – Mike – Sorry – Pervert Saucer Eyes looked like he was going to cry. I was going to make him cry […]

Manners, Muscles and…Oh My! – Seven #SexySnippets on #MySexySaturday

Maria, Belinda and Vanessa sit unseen on the deck of the Siren, checking out the new deckhand of the Dolphin: Maria glared at the new human, muttering, “I hope this one has better manners.” “He certainly has a physique which is pleasing to the eye.
