Just a Taste: Smooth Moves by Landis Lin

Excerpt of SMOOTH MOVES byLandis Y. Lain: Featured in Mocha Chocolate: Taste A Piece of Ecstasy.

Shirley: "FAWN, I SAW SOME HUSSY DRIVING YOUR CAR! "

Fawn: "He wouldn't do that." Fawn typed back.

She glanced down at her new wedding ring and shook her head in denial, locks dancing with the motion. She'd left her car at home this morning, because it wasn't running right. She would catch the bus home. Amir had promised to fix it.

Fawn: "There must be some explanation." Fawn's fingers flew over the keys.
Shirley: "UH-HUH."
Fawn: "Stop shouting." Fawn typed back. She could mentally see Shirley roll her eyes, gather her patience and hit the caps lock key on her keyboard.
Shirley: "I'm telling you, I saw the license plate. Besides, how many people drive a gold 1996 Honda Civic with a Clinton/Gore bumper sticker pasted to it?"
Fawn: "I don't believe it."
Shirley: "Girl, I know you so damned soft hearted you don't want to believe water is wet unless you drown, but don't be soft headed, too. If Amir's got a good explanation for this one, then I'll eat my weave."
Fawn: "What should I do?"
Shirley: "Take the afternoon off and check up on a brother."

Just a Taste: Hopelessly Addicted

Brief excerpt from "Hopelessly Addicted" featured in Mocha Chocolate: Taste A Piece of Ecstasy:
The longing in your dark eyes and the tenderness of your kiss told me that you wanted me, too. All of me this time. Your hands were soft and sensuous as they stroked my slender back and made me limp in your strong arms. Carefully, you orchestrated removal of my silk nightgown, leaving me standing there naked and completely vulnerable to you. I didn't care that you were married or that your wife had just given birth only two hours earlier....

Just a Taste: Guilty Release by Chole R.

Excerpt of Guilty Relase featured in Mocha Chocolate: Taste A Piece of Ecstasy:
Fourteen days had passed. He hadn't touched her. Tina lay in the bed listening to his heavy breathing. What has he been doing, the past fourteen days, that he doesn't want me? The cotton nightshirt stretch across her hips, lay gently against her upper thighs. She bathed every night; lay in her nightshirt without underwear. Easy access. The sound of the television filled her ears, she fought against it, wanting to listen to him breath. Is he really asleep? In a deep sleep? Or is he just lying there, trying to avoid me?

The last time they had made love, she had broken the sexual silence. Had given in to the lust that forever rested around her hips, which needed a center focus to penetrate its core. Her fingers couldn't do it, they weren't enough to satisfy her that day. She wasn't bold enough to keep a vibrator, not for any real length of time. Every time she purchased one, her enjoyment surprised her, made her feel guilty. In the middle of pleasing herself the sudden image of her dropping dead, with the dildo wedged inside of her terrified her. What if her husband walked in and found her like that? What if she died and her mother found the huge thing in her nightstand? The idea terrified her so much that she would eventually discard them.

So Tina had given in. Searched the house until she found him, stretched out on the family room sofa. Asleep. She climbed on top of him. Sucked on his neck, rotated her hips against him. She still felt amazed at how quickly his body responded. He reacted immediately. Whatever had his attention, had not taken away her ability to immediately arouse him....

He had felt so deep, even now she moaned softly, remembering how her juices had covered the table, her buttocks, and his waist. He had whispered in her ear that he loved her natural secretion, loved that he could make her that wet. He had felt so good.

But then, nothing. He hadn't come back for more....
