"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything."- by Napoleon Hill, American author -4 1/2 stars. I rounded up to 5 stars because Anne is one of my favorite authors. This star is for you, Anne."Tell me what you want and it's yours." Anne, please, give us more of those hot and sensual stories! And I am really on pins and needles to read your next full-length novel!Corryn had a change of employment. Now she works at Cooper Bensonhurst (an investment bank) as Tony's administrative assistant. Tony is throwing a party and that's where Corryn meets Luke. Their attraction is instant and sparks are flying. Luke is a VP of Special Acquisitions, and he is the best friend of Corryn's boss, Tony. Luke and Corryn hadn't met because he'd been in Tokyo for the last two weeks, acquiring something special worth a huge fortune. Yeah, Corryn, this revelation left you rather speechless...Luke is off-limits and she refuses his offer to give her any pleasure she desires. Luke is tenacious and tries to seduce her. The fact that she hasn't been able to write poetry - her favorite pastime - since she declined Luke's offer, is bothering her constantly. After months of denial, she has to cave in...Ahhhh, again and again, I just love Anne's smooth and sensual writing style! She picks up a thread and is able to spin off a captivating storyline. The storyline is not all that exceptional itself - it's rather 'normal', but what makes it truly special is her way of telling a story and how she 'plays' with words. Beautiful! Luke and Corryn were heating up the sheets and then some! Versed in Desire is another sizzling hot and sensual short story written by an author I truly admire.I loved these 'lines':[...]Luke finished the bottle and deftly replaced the cap. "You were my best time," he said, the words pitched for my ears alone. "Standing up, fully clothed, just talking. I liked the way we breathed together. Made me wonder how you'll sound just before you come."[...][...]It was hot and slow, his tongue sliding over my lower lip then into my mouth, flickering over the sensitive roof of my mouth then rubbing against my tongue in a tempo so seductive and knowing my eyes fluttered shut.I am all about rhythm. Every poet is. The cadence of words, the thump of a pulse or a palm, the simple ebb and flow of life around us forms the structure and beat of the stories we tell. The slow stroke-stroke-stroke of Luke's tongue against mine formed a counterpoint to my racing pulse and set off a torrent of images in my brain, all the ways we could fulfil the promise of six months of foreplay.[...][...]Tense breathing and my own gasps didn't keep him from slow. In bed with a woman, so often a man acts as though he's on a guided tour in a strange city with twenty minutes to see the sights and a list of highlights. Mouth, nipples, clit, penetration, orgasm, back on the bus. Luke explored me as if each individual patch of skin held the possibility of some delightful surprise or unique memory. I lay back and became a tourist in my own body, with his mouth and fingers as my guide.[...][...] but when he did, I let out a shuddering little sound far too erotic for foreplay. It sounded like a sex moan, a penetration moan, a perfect-pressure-against-my-clit-don't-stop-until-I-come moan.[...]Yes, Anne, your cadence of words is perfect and you're definitely "Versed in Writing"! Thank you for writing such wonderful stories. I really appreciate and love your work!(less)
