Apology Not Accepted Epilogue About The Author Author's Note This book is intended for mature readers, and contains descriptions of adults doing adult things. Some of these things might bring up thoughts, feelings, or memories that make readers uncomfortable. While a bit of discomfort often enhances the reading experience, persons who are triggered by anal play, anxiety, attempted sexual assault, detailed sexual activity, excessive ellipses, mental health issues, mild degradation, sex work, or swear words might want to reconsider reading this book. The characters in the book are also imperfect, and must work to overcome their flaws. Please be patient with them! 1 Deepest Desire “What’s your deepest desire?” The words on my computer screen demand a response. My fingers hover over the keyboard. Even skilled temptress Tess the Tease sometimes struggles with such questions. A strand of hair brushes against my cheek, and I tuck it behind my ear. What will this guy want to hear? My mind churns through an index of possible fantasies. We sit on a mountaintop watching the sunset, then kiss, our faces silhouetted against the amber sky. I frown. The mirror behind my desk reflects nerdy bookworm Shaylee Hamilton, not a confident online seductress. With my long brown hair hanging loose and thick-rimmed glasses on, I could even pass for a kindergarten teacher. I grab a hair-tie off my desk and pile a messy bun on top of my head. We go sky-diving. Mid-air, you propose, holding a little velvet box milliseconds before you pull the cord. You know the danger excites me. This is your seventh proposal. I’ll say no just so you can try again tomorrow. The words aren’t flowing easily today. Sigh. Even though clients never see my face, sometimes it helps to look the part. I grab an eyeliner pen, take off my glasses, and accentuate my brown eyes with thick black lines. You. Naked. In my bedroom. I run my hands over your skin, my fingertips whisper across your flesh as I hint at what’s to come. My answer has to be about love, sex, or both. My clients on Dirty Little Secret want one of these three things. The real question is: who am I talking to again? I scan the chat box repeatedly, squinting without my glasses. I double-check, then triple-check. Jmanromance. Okay. The mountaintop sunset scene wins. He likes foreplay to help cancel out his kinks. He could probably find a real girlfriend if he’d just get over his shame. But who am I to talk? I take a deep breath and type into the chat: Tess: I want to sit somewhere beautiful, maybe watch the sunset from the top of a mountain. Jmanromance: I love it, I’m right there with you.Tess: Your arms feel strong around me. My hand is small in yours. Jmanromance: I’ll hold you close. Tess: Maybe lean over and kiss me? The small video box in the corner of the chat screen shows Jman caressing the bulge in his jeans. He hasn’t even taken off his pants yet. Time to hurry things along. I’m meeting a date in two hours, and I still have to agonize over what to wear. Tess: I want to feel your tongue on mine. Maybe you get a little excited and thrust it into my mouth. Jmanromance: I wouldn’t thrust. I’d be a perfect gentleman. But the perfect gentleman is unbuttoning his jeans. Tess: Maybe you reach around and grab my ass. Indulge some of those secret thoughts. Jmanromance: Oh yeah? What thoughts? He’s typing one-handed now. His jeans are down and he pulls out his dick. It’s long, and it’s getting hard. He angles the camera so it fills up the screen. It’s certainly a dick to be proud of. And I’ve seen hundreds of dicks. On screen, that is. In real life, on the other hand— Stop! Focus. Tess: The thoughts about where you want to put that enormous, rock-hard cock of yours. His body heaves as his breathing grows more rapid. Jmanromance: I kiss a pretty girl at sunset on a mountaintop and she’s thinking about my rock-hard cock? Naughty, naughty girl. Tess: As naughty as they come.Jmanromance: What does this naughty girl like to do?Tess: She likes long walks on the beach, mountaintop sunset kissing, cuddles by the fire…Jmanromance: And?Tess: She likes to feel wanted. Jmanromance: What makes her
