M.J. Carey

I write erotica. A lot of it has been written on my commute to work on the train. I've been wrting for about 9 years in earnest, I just dabbled before the train journey gave me the time. In the last year or so I've polished off the raw material and I'm publishing in ebooks and in paperbacks.The themes of my stories are usually around BDSM. In the Sisterhood series, the themes revolve around female domination. In the House of Penheligon it’s female domination in an exclusively female world. Of course there are men who want to get into the house, and members of the household who want them there, working against the regime to achieve what they want. A third strand of writing revolves around female submission, with three stories published to date; two of which appeared in the Gratis anthologies (also available on Smashwords).

Rebirth

A new town, a new job, perhaps a new boyfriend, and an Easter egg, but Alice is disappointed; her new Mr Right has hit a wrong note. It started so well too, full of exciting promise, now he had broken off their first date. To make matters worse, to request a change of date from Saturday night to lunch on Easter Sunday, he had left a large Easter egg, wrapped in yellow, blue and gold on the front desk for her. Her attitude to food was ambivalent at best; an enemy as much as a friend but she particularly resisted mass-produced, milk chocolate; too fattening for not enough flavour, although she loved the intense shot of Belgian chocolate; Leonidas. Even the note attached, explaining the change, finishing with; ‘please open before Sunday’, annoys her, so she leaves it under the counter, slowly softening in the warmth of the library.

Her first encounter with Mr Right had been very different. He walked up to take out a book that made her blush; ‘The Story of ‘O’’, a favourite of her private fantasies, before and since her divorce. He had grinned and held her gaze as he said, I’ve read it before and I couldn’t put it down. Have you read it, Alice?

For a moment she wondered how he knew her name, but remembered the stupid badge, given to her that morning and pinned to the breast of her grey, pinafore dress. It was her first day and she was gradually getting used to it.

I... I’ll take a look, she said, shocked but forcing the smile she felt inside.

He was handsome, pleasing; at least she thought so, his light brown hair just beyond collar length, an Irish lilt to his voice, his smile infectious, his blue eyes full of mischief, roaming her body as she scanned the barcode. He grinned again as he turned and left.

In the evening, in her flat, Alice found her copy of the book; the same edition, in the depths of a packing case, and
