Hot Wet Touches is a (very) short story about an erotic encounter in a spa in Germany. Claudia is at the spa with her friends. While there, in a dimly lit sauna, she has a single, perfect encounter with a male spa goer.I enjoyed this little interlude between several heavier books. It's told from a dual POV: Claudia and Jake, so the reader is treated to both participants' inner thoughts as they are happening. The story isn't explicit. In fact, the actual sexual act is almost sweet and...I feel odd writing this...almost chaste. Yes, there's an orgasm and yes, it's hot, but no, it's not at all explicit.Like the experience Claudia and Jake share, the story ends with the reader both wanting more and realizing that there shouldn't be more. It ends right where it should end.My only criticism of the book, and the reason I didn't rate it as five stars, was that too much space was used telling the reader that the spa in the story was a normal happenstance in Germany and shouldn't be considered out of the ordinary. The spa was coed and forbade clothing outside of the changing area so men and women were continually around each other naked. While this isn't a common thing in the United States, I didn't feel as if the author needed to reiterate this fact so many times in the first third of the story.That said, this is a delightfully arousing and well written story that I enjoyed and just might read again.
