Lustful Veracity

By Sari Shepard

For years, Dustin Aldrich has been wishing his wife, Laurel, would consider partner sharing. Their friends are into it, but Laurel wants nothing to do with their antics. They boast and brag about their doings. Even worse, they cheat on each other, sneaking off behind their spouse’s back. It’s not partner sharing, she contends, it’s cheating. She wants to make new friends and leave that crowd behind. In fact, she’s dead-set on the idea and has invited a couple she knows through work to stay over while their house is renovated.

Pretending to be fast asleep in his chair, Dustin witnesses Laurel being much more than hospitable to their houseguests. He’s suddenly torn between his desires and his self-assurance. It seems she’s finally come around, but she did so in the very manner she condemned in others—behind his back. All she had to do was ask.

All Dustin can do is wait for Laurel to breach the subject. He was spying, after all. As days go by, his anticipation turns to angst. It seems Laurel is a hypocrite. Then one night, he awakens to the sounds of sex play from down the hall. Sauntering through the darkness, he laments his own lack of veracity as he goes to confront her.

But Laurel has a surprise in store—she’s been teaching him a lesson. Dustin hasn't been giving her the credit she deserves. She's more into swinging than he ever imagined. It was the underhandedness and reckless behavior of the old crowd she didn’t like, not the idea of partner sharing. It's time to get started.

Sari Shepard and his wife Susan act as a team, blending experience with imagination to offer high-charged contemporary romantic erotica with a fresh, creative approach. Our novels and short stories are insistently erotic, but strive to avoid over-objectification of the fairer sex, no matter what fervent passion they chose to pursue. Unique descriptors let the blissful fervor unfold without repetitious use of profane terminology. We believe sex is visual. Things happen during sex—things we wouldn’t discuss at a restaurant or draw on a napkin (most of us, anyway). The better the sex, the more things happen. The more things happen, the more visual the experience becomes. We do not shy away from vivid descriptors because feelings are indelibly entwined with the visual aspect of sex. We do not write drug-store novelettes that end a scene when things start tingling. We know sex is a repetitious act, but it should never be boring. It evokes fervent, passionate thought that isn’t served well by conforming to predictable descriptions. It’s easy to follow convention and avoid colorful, ostentatious words, but to us, it’s kind of like following a clergyman’s recommendations in the bedroom. Sex should never be given a description any less colorful than the act itself. We worked hard to develop our own unique style. Most of our heroines ascribe to bisexuality, but their heterosexual longings carry the stories. Along the way, each finds plenty of opportunity for promiscuous romps and swinging ménages. Twists, turns and dilemmas await the daring, colorful characters. Join them and learn their stories.

Dustin Dusty Aldrich came home from work just after four on a cold January afternoon. He hung up his reflective safety coat and stepped into the kitchen, where Laurel, his wife of twenty years, was setting the table for four. She gave him a quick smile and went about her business.

Did I forget a dinner date? he asked.

No, she replied without making eye contact. Sit down. I’ll tell you after we talk about a few things.

Hey, look, he offered, pulling out a chair. I’m sorry about last night. I should have just shut Tom down from the start. It just seemed like maybe you were—

Interested? she asked, sitting beside him. How many times do I have to say no? I like Chad and Angela. They’re good folks, and I like going to their house, but the rest of that crowd is sneaky. I can’t stand Tom or Erik, and I don’t like their wives. They have no respect for their own partners.

Come on, he argued. "So what if they play
