Desire in the Dark by Naima SimoneYes I'm going to look up more stories written by Ms. Simone.  That's how much I enjoyed this short story.  Her writing style was smooth and flowed from one page to the next easily.  The story felt complete in the 3 chapters that I read though more would have been good too.Alise and Mac are good friends but just friends.  Alise has a secret, she has had the hots for Mac for over a year and wants him in a big way.  She wants to tell him how she feels but fears rejection and the loss of their friendship.  She hopes to prod him into a reaction by telling him she misses sex and has decided to sleep with the man she has been dating for 3 months.  The question is will he react.  Will he see her now as more than a friend?Mac considers Alise one of his two best friends and nothing more so why does hearing her confession about having sex make him jealous and want to beat on someone.  He's is a big man and prefers women who can take it a little rough and won't break with their encounters so petite Alise should be off limits right.All this changed when the lights go out and a little wine is passed around.As the saying goes...'In Vino Veritas'
