In a while time will catch up to us, in a while life will call you away. You’re going to read my words again, I know that much. You’re going to read them over and over and over, but you can never again read them for the first time. This has been our first time, honey, and I know you think it’s over now, because this is the end of the book, end of the journey. Au revoir is what the French say for Goodbye, but that isn't what it means. You've come through the door, you're in the middle of our road, but like Bambi in the headlights, you don't know that it's too late to dodge the truck. You’re sitting there all warm and post-orgasmic, and you think this is only not-quite-so-innocent masturbation, private sex, us alone in our separate times, separate spaces, alone with our fantasies. You think these are only words, but honey, words have power, words change lives, and my words have just changed your life you have only two choices.
You aren’t reading this when and where I’m writing it, but I’m just as real as you are, honey. I’m flesh and blood, muscle and bone, tall and dark and lean. I’m everything you can imagine and I’m a whole lot more you can’t. And I am out here, right here, right now. You know me now honey, and because you’re still reading I know you. I know how different you are from the women who've put this book down, the women who never picked it up. I know your secrets and your passions and your dreams, and most of all I know that you’re mine. You’re fascinated by our little interaction, compelled by it, and you want more, you need more, and now you know that more is right here, right now, waiting just for you.
You see, honey, Au revoir means until I see you again. Our journey isn’t ending now, it’s only just begun. So choice one is to do exactly what you’re thinking right now, which is apply your mind, and your determination, and find out exactly who it is standing behind these words, who it is who can seize your mind, who it is who can compel your body, who it is who can possess your soul before we've even met. And choice two is - just walk away. Just walk away and wonder forever what would have happened if you’d chosen option one. And either way I have gotten exactly what I want from you because the kind of woman I need is exactly the kind of woman with the brains to figure out the challenge, the confidence to handle it, and the determination to make it happen.
You have the tools, honey, you have that letter you’ve written me, those photos you took, and now you’ve passed every test but one, and now I have just one question left. Are you her, honey? You already know the answer, deep, deep inside your mind, and no matter what it is, that answer is about to change your life. So if you’re not her, I hope it’s been as good for you to read this as it has been for me to write it, and that’s very, very good indeed. And if you are her, well, the door is open, the road is in front of you. Who knows where it might lead?
Au revoir.

Make Me Behave
by Nancy Pirri & Tara Fox Hall
Feeling naughty? Included in this anthology are five stories of women looking for some 'kink' in their lives, and the men that willingly oblige them. These romantic stories are fun and sexy and include domestic discipline and spanking.
Managing Miranda
Miranda Russell is worried her husband is losing interest in her so she devises a plan to gain his attention—even if it also incurs his anger. The fact is, her workaholic husband, Justin, has no idea he's not spending enough time with his lovely wife, until she surprises him at his company's holiday party, completely disobeying his order not to purchase a new gown.
First Time
When a handsome stranger gifts Vicky with a riding crop on her first visit to the local adult bookstore, she hesitantly accepts it along with his dinner invitation. Little does she know the wild passion that Cain will ignite with the first strike of leather against her bare flesh.
The Second Session
Her desire whetted, Vicky accepts one of Cain's friends into their bed, eager to switch roles from submissive to aggressor. But in her quest to dominate the brawny, muscular Brick, Vicky gives into desire, requiring Cain to administer some well-deserved correction.
Three Strikes
Candy rolled her eyes when Vicky invited her to dinner to meet her new boyfriend, Cain, especially when the offer included not only voyeurism as dessert, but also a partner for her to join in the fun. No man had ever been able to give Candy real pleasure, no matter what sex toys they had tried. But Cain's friend Devlin is not a man; he's a centuries old vampire who's more than up to the challenge, and willing to do whatever it takes to give Candy what she's been missing.
The Newlyweds
Jane laughed off her new husband's threats to turn her over his knee if she disobeyed him in their marriage, but realizes he's serious when, on their honeymoon, he does exactly that! Humiliated and furious, she threatens him with divorce but Aaron convinces her to give them a chance. Jane soon realizes Aaron is exactly the kind of man she needs in her life.

The Internet Date
by Nic Penrake
Myles and Brad are two advertising men, business partners and internet dating partners. They have discovered that the best results in internet dating come in threes. When Myles has a date, Brad will bump into his friend 'by chance', stick around and do and say things that will effectively make his friend look sexy. The favour is returned when it's Brad's turn.
Until one night, Myles dates Gina. And instead of talking his friend up and leaving early, Brad makes a play for her – and the two men have a falling out. Sensing that her date and his friend have been playing a game, Gina outsmarts them with a sexual game of her own. The resulting mayhem in a basement hotel toilet leaves the two men with their pride in tatters, but their curiosity and rivalry piqued still further. The emotions unleashed set all three professional singles on a course headed for a violent outcome none of them could have foreseen.
The Internet Date captures the diverse love lives of five people living in London just as the recession really starts to dig its teeth in: men and women confronting their early and advancing middle-age with wit and bad behaviour, fear and confusion, and just occasionally a little honesty (which often proves more disastrous than the truth), decency and compassion.
