The Big Book of Quickies: 69 Erotic Stories

Bussel (editor of Sexy Strangers) assembles another red-hot erotica anthology, this time focused on the briefest of encounters. The wide-ranging stories offer something for just about any erotica fan. Bussel’s own “Mile High Hotness” stars an illicit threesome on a flight, while Elena Martinez’s “Closed Door Meeting” centers a smoking-hot sapphic encounter at work. In Peter Marriott’s “Role Play,” a 60-something couple experiment in the bedroom. J.L. Jenson’s “Vacation” follows a 40-something married woman whose husband pays the 20-something pool guy to have sex with her. In Dean Franklin’s “Night Shift,” an IT guy working late discovers some naughty searches on a coworker’s computer. Niche kinks are reflected in Dena Hankins’s BDSM-centric “Demo Bottom” and Candice Leigh’s “Lumen of Light,” both of which feature needle play, and in Posy Churchgate’s “Darius Dares,” which explores the pleasure a man derives in wearing women’s lingerie. Bussel has a fine instinct for picking the steamiest of erotic shorts that her fans have come to trust over the several dozen anthologies she’s edited—and this will not disappoint. These bite-size sensual encounters will leave readers hot and bothered. (July)
