E IS FOR EXOTIC edited by Alison Tyler [Cleis]

Clean hotel sheets and tropical drinks - that's the standard image of exotic. But exotic can be anywhere that takes you out of yourself. In Bus Ride, a woman submits to a handsome stranger on the way to Las Vegas. He orders her to take off her bra and give it to him. Then he teases her clit, and slides his fingers into her eager pussy. Line Shack takes place on a deserted ranch. She spreads his arms apart and locks the hobbles on his wrists. She rips open his cowboy shirt. She yanks his jeans down to his thighs. In Un, Deux, Trois, Jack takes her to a special club in Paris that's elegant and decadent at the same time. Everywhere couples are having sex. Voyeurs are watching, encouraging, increasing the heat. After fucking her hard, Jack takes off his belt. "Ten," he says. 13 stories. 146 pp.
