Chloe Thurlow is an excellent writer, and her writing skills delight and excite in this short story.  There's plenty of erotica books out there, but most of them are written in such an amateurish and clunky way, they make the readers wonder whether their authors have had any personal experience with the subject matter or they are just imagining what might make sex exciting. In most cases, those other erotica books are just plain boring and cringe-inducing. At best, they read like badly written how-to manuals (or how not to?).Chloe Thurlow is in a completely different league. She is a real writer who knows how to write a good story, how to create the excitement, the anticipation, and how to bring the story (and her characters!) to a satisfying climax (you figure out whether the pun was intended). Her novels are structured and written that way, and so is this short story.From the moment Kelly, the main character of this story, meets James Swanson in the airport, their brief exchanges, glances, his attentive help, and later their movement through the airport and inside the airplane are filled with tangible erotic tension  and suggestions of sexual interest - and that's even before their steamy mile-high encounter.  Chloe Thurlow knows that good erotica is not just about the hot sex scenes (even though they are plenty of those in all her books!), but it's about creating believable, interesting, and realistic characters that the readers can relate to and feel interested in. Fantastic writing!
