The Arcade

Dirty 1st Dates

by Harley Laroux

Violet has waited years for a date with Aiden, her crush from university who she was always too shy to approach. When Aiden finally asks her out, Violet thinks it's too good to be true - then their first date gets even better. Aiden reveals that he knows about Violet's dirty secret: she has a lewd Twitter account where she posts all her filthiest erotic fantasies. Aiden is determined to start making her fantasies come true, as he challenges her to games where losing brings some very sadistic consequences. Competitive Violet thinks that she wants to win and earn her "reward"...but soon discovers that she likes Aiden's punishments even better.

Violet's date with Aiden at the arcades starts off like any other date until he brings up her secret Twitter account and then those anonymous posts are humiliating in the best way possible.

I'm loving Harley Laroux, I've read three now and they all feature decent CNC play which is handled amazingly and she's now an auto buy for me.

Less than 40 pages but this does everything it needs to do and it does it wonderfully.

At time of posting this short story is currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

As they play around and flirt Aiden informs her that he found her secert twitter.. dirty tweets and fantaies she wanted someone to find and do to her. He's the man for the job. And with each game he brings out those fantaies. And boy some dirty ones. Like dirtyyyyyyy

A quick read. Erotica and smut. Violet gets to experience and outlive her dark fantasies she’s kept hidden from everyone thanks to Aidan. He’s found her twitter account where she share her darkest fantasies. Dom/Sub play and dirty talk. No surprises. A great novella.

[Aliki (semi hiatus) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun, quick, smutty read. I am in a reading slump, so i needed a short story to get me out of it. And this delivered. I trust Harley Laroux with my life, everything she writes is so deliciouuss, i would read anything from her.

[Caffeinated Fae · Rating 5 out of 5]

With the pandemic around, I lost my ability to concentrate on reading. I've tried everything, but nothing felt "right." As a book blogger, this legitimately sucks. Luckily for me, Harley LaRoux had a brand new release, and let me tell you, this short story was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed the First Dirty First Dates, Dirty First Dates: Halloween Haunt: An Erotic Short Story, so I knew without a doubt that Harley wouldn't disappoint.

The Arcade was incredible. I loved the characters, the setting, and the plot was pretty awesome. I loved that everything was safe, sane, and consensual. Harley sure knows how to write a quick & dirty book that will give your fantasies a bit of inspiration. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys BDSM, humiliation play, and a bit of a brat tamer dynamic.

4 Stars

I read the first one of these and was intrigued about the others. It did not disappoint. I liked the last a little bit better but this was good.

I think it was the same page-length as the last one, so it was a quick read. I would also recommend this one. Not much to say. Toodles!

This was a nice, quick and spicy novella that I really enjoyed reading but....


Why did they have sex in the back of an alley? They couldn't just... go home?

[justlarissareads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Violet has a dirty little secret and Aiden punishes her into euphoria. This novella packs a serious punch in smut in just a few pages! 🥵🥵🥵 This is my fourth read by this author and she writes smut and kink/fetish so well! The novella series can be read in any order or as stand-alones.

[Teodora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Violet & Aiden

This one is the best in the series for me! I think Violet and Aiden gave me the best vibe in this short story series and I can not get over how fit they are for each other. There is not much to say about this just that it is amazing and you should really read it.

Each book in this series is a very fast read with many sexy scenes that is worth your time!

Harley Laroux is easily becoming a favorite dark-kink smutty author. Her books have a level of realism to them that makes them so easy to fall into and so much fun to read.

I adored the Dare and was really excited to try out more of her stuff. This Dirty First Dates series has the making to be a new favorite pallet cleanser when I just need something quick and light to read.

If you're into dark, kinky books and you haven't yet picked up Harley Laroux, I highly recommend that you do. With smutathon coming back in December, I know I will definitely pick up a few of these during the weekend.

At 40 pages there isn't much to say other than we got the book we were promised and it was a damn good time. I can't wait to pick up more in this series.

[Peppa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a filthy little treat😩!!!
I was immediately hooked on the setting, I mean come on being dirty and filthy in an arcade while playing games …something about that hidden kink club vibe just does it for me and the characters totally brought it to life.
It was hot in all the right ways, but also grounded in that safe, sane, consensual space, which I really appreciate. The brat tamer dynamic? Yes, please. Add in some humiliation play and you’ve got me!!

This was just filthy... sheesh. I was honestly hoping for a cute date story but that was quickly dashed to Hades.
Our fmc finally goes on a date with her crush and he has her doing some things that would make anyone blush.
If you're looking for a plot, look elsewhere.
