Back List Blast – An Unexpected Return by Jessica E. Subject #erotic #scifi #romance
Hello! Welcome to the first Back List Blast post of April. Today I want to tell you about my sixth release, An Unexpected Return. I was asked to write a sci-fi erotic romance story to be one of the launch stories for Decadent Publishing‘s sci-fi line, Elatia. An Unexpected Return is the story I came up with, and it released on May 30, 2012.
Here’s an excerpt:
Xia trailed her hand down the Mikashe mannequin’s scaly thigh.
Twenty minutes. Far less than the allotted time. If she could maintain the same speed with live clients, perhaps life as an Adamo wouldn’t be so bad.
She slid off the bed. All she wanted was to leave the Schola Calei and go home to rest. The practice session had followed hours of theory on the erogenous zones of all of the species permitted on Elatia. Applying the lessons to a pretend client had at least gotten her off her ass, but she could no longer think straight, her mind too numb to do anything but sleep.
“Done already, Xia?”
Spinning on her heels, she faced Jacobus, the muscular Elatian man—an Echelon Four Adamo—who trained her and several other Echelon Ones in the art of erotic massage. If he hadn’t been like a father figure to her, she’d swoon over him like the rest of her classmates did. During their lessons, he wore only loose-fitting pants made of filmy veech, which exposed his golden, god-like body to his students. Sometimes, to illustrate his lessons of a male’s erogenous zones, he’d strip down to nothing. On those days, she tried to listen more than look. Creaming her panties over her instructor was not all right. What would Kalara say?
Xia knew there was something going on between the two of them. He spent a lot of time at the house of her guardian and mentor. But she’d never seen them touch each other intimately, and he stayed away when Kalara entertained clients. If only she could figure out their relationship.
“Yes, I completed every step.” Even swallowing the warm, briny, fake ejaculation. Although she’d heard the real thing tasted worse.
Grabbing her tubes and bottles of eletin massage oils and creams, she packed them away in her appointment bag. Her own bed called to her.
With an intense stare, Jacobus set his hand on her shoulder. “There is never a need to rush with clients. You’re more likely to gain repeat customers if you take your time and prolong their pleasure.”
She nodded. “I’ll make note of that. Thank you.” Yeah, slow down. How could she be a proper Adamo if she always tried to finish as soon as possible? Quick Xia—that was her. But she wouldn’t bring any honor to Kalara and Jacobus if she maintained that mindset.
“Great.” He smiled, creases forming in the corners of his mouth. “Because you have your first appointment tonight.”
What? “But I’m only Echelon One. I can’t take clients yet.”
He stepped back and turned to the entire class. “This practical exam was your final test. You’re all now Echelon Two. There’s more to learn, but it’s about time you put your lessons into practice. You’ll all have appointments soon.”
Yes, but why do I have to be the first one? She gulped. “Um, what am I supposed to bring? Where do I go?”
