Guest Post A Very Precise Equation

An author after my own heart, writing about my very favourite subject, please welcome—>

As a writer, I feel like I'm expected to be at least a *slightly* tormented soul. And yes, there are many, many questions that plague me as I strive to (lol) make sense of the universal human experience. Like, "Why is the sky blue? (No seriously, explain that stuff about light refracting again?)" or "Why do I always log on to Facebook when I'm drunk, even when I know better?"

Right now, as I start to write my fourth threesome story, I'm asking myself (whilst melodramatically tearing my hair out), "Why oh why, do I keep writing threesomes?"

Three times the characterisations to create, three times the internal conflict to sort, three times the awkward legs and elbows to untangle — so why bother when it only takes two to tango?

A simple answer might be that for every set of legs and elbows to choreograph there are three tempting arses to play with as well!

But it's a little more complicated than that I've said before that what I like about threesomes is that in one story you can have it all, from the sexy trust of an established relationship to the thrill of a first time with someone new.

I'll add to this greediness for pleasure the immense writerly satisfaction that comes when you get that delicate balance between the characters' needs and desires just right. That moment when everything ceases to be choreography and just becomes passion. Or, as Ned from my latest release Playing with Prudence likes to think of it, a very precise mathematical equation: Take one beautiful woman, multiply her by two men, mix together equal parts lust and love, then amplify results by the power of three.

Of course, if anyone knows the way to cut through to the heart of the matter, it's Ned. Add BDSM kink as a variable to your threesome and your results will skew very pleasurably, if totally unpredictably.

From Playing with Prudence:

Harry was a weight at her back, Ned in her mouth, but neither man moved for a long moment. She looked up through the haze of her want. Ned had taken the bottle of oil when Harry had put it down and he held it up now, just out of reach, in a clear message. Her body jerked in denial.

"Lyell." There was a warning in Harry's voice.

Ned smiled. "I think we'll leave it here for today."

She knew that tone all too well. She remembered then, the way that Ned had curled into her that first night of Harry's visit. The way he'd said it in that exact same smokey voice, "Let's see how good his control really is. Let's put it to the test." In hindsight, it was always true that this evening would end like this.

"You son of a bitch—" Harry pressed close, pushing, and for a thrilled, panicked moment she thought he would thrust into her anyway.

"Is there a problem, Major Sterling?" The question snapped between them, and suddenly the pressure was gone as Harry stepped away, cursing.

Bringing D/s into the dynamic between two strong-willed men and my submissive heroine Prudence proved vital to finding the balance in the story. Even when it's just two of them — a loving moment between husband and wife, teasing banter between old friends — their third isn't far from their thoughts.

And really, when it comes right down to it, that's why I write threesomes. Why give two characters pleasure when you can arrange lovely orgasms for three?

Thanks for hosting me, Bianca

Playing with Prudence by Rachel Randall

Playing with Prudence is now available from Total E-Bound.

Fantasies are even better when they're shared.

Prudence loves the sexy games her husband arranges for her, and she craves the punishment for losing as much as the pleasures of victory. Edward is frustrated, however, that Pru denies them both her true submission by telling herself they are only playing.

A visit from Major Harry Sterling, their oldest friend, offers an erotic opportunity to push Pru past her boundaries. She has always fantasised about having Harry, but will sharing her body with another help Pru fully surrender to the man she loves?
