Adventurous Friends

By M.P. Clifton

Adventurous Friends concludes the Adventurous Collection of Erotica by M.P. Clifton. This final volume presents a quartet of short stories about women who explore the intimate side of life with other women. Though not every character in these tales is living openly and in fact may be in a heterosexual relationship, each knows herself well enough to forego societal convention and follow her heart - or her desire. Sometimes the trigger is compassion for a friend or the admission of a long held secret. But, whatever the catalyst, the result is passionate fulfillment and sexual satisfaction.

The Stylist
Having been a customer for more than a decade, Bev and her stylist, Sharon, share many secrets only close confidants would know. So, when Sharon’s latest relationship ends, Bev tries to comfort her friend with understanding and compassion. But, Sharon’s confession of what finally caused the breakup comes out of nowhere and stuns Bev. Forced to confront her own emotions, she accepts the opportunity to explore her innermost feelings.

Farmhouse
Coworkers Louise and Steven were friends but his wife, Jeanette, became even closer when Louise’s husband, Josh, was dying. Jeanette stood by Louise through long nights and painful days. Though their lives since have gone in different directions, both women never forgot the connection. Visiting Louise in her recently renovated farmhouse brings up memories both good and bad. As evening fades into night, the two women let Steven doze while they ready the guest room Louise offered. Once alone, they acknowledge their attraction and venture into a new experience for Jeanette.

The Truth
Donna realizes her decision to let Zack move in with her was a mistake. Now she wants to correct it without hurting him. She turns to friend, Jillian, hoping she can provide a solution. What unfolds is a crazy tale of good intentions leading to unexpected and intimate consequences.

Different
Jennie shares with Carol, some private details about her not-so-satisfying sex life with boyfriend Neil. Carol’s reaction and offhand comment surprises Jennie, as does Carol’s revelation about a sexual experience she had early in life. As Jennie presses Carol to tell her everything, she finds herself more than interested; she is intrigued by Carol’s past and the possibilities for the future.

M.P. Clifton

I write erotica for the adventurous soul in each of us. Most of my stories are about everyday people who act on an impulse; take a risk; or, do that one daring thing which would shock even their closest friends. While there are many outstanding authors who write about the lives of the rich and powerful, I enjoy lifting the veil on the sexual intimacies of that harried soccer mom navigating a supermarket aisle, or the adventurous couple fulfilling a friend’s fantasy, or those distant relatives rekindling old passions at a family reunion. For me, and hopefully for you, this is where the real action is. My published works include short stories, novellas and poetry, as well as, commercial non-fiction.

The Stylist

I pressed the button on the key fob, locking the car door behind me, then crossed the small parking lot alongside the salon. The sun had already fallen behind a large maple across the street and its long shadow turned the sidewalk into a dappled carpet of deep purple dotted with shimmering spots of orange sunlight. An overhead lamp above the entrance washed the door in a warm amber glow.

Hello, Sharon.

Hi, Bev. How’ve you been?

Good, you?

Ehh, you know. Come on back. The woman in the navy blue smock led me, the last customer of the day, to where three chairs sat in front of three sinks.

Thanks for squeezing me in, I smiled.

No problem. Don’t really mind for certain customers.

All the same, I appreciate it.

Wash first, right?

I nodded and, as is customary, I stepped into the small changing area; removed my blouse; and, slipped into one of four green polyester robes that hung there. As I approached the basin, Sharon draped a thick towel over my shoulders, then eased me into the
