Hi everyone,
After taking a break from writing for a few years, I've decided to try my talents at erotic literature. I'd value any and all feedback, especially from my target audience, which I guess I would say is the "Fifty Shades" crowd. So ladies, particularly married ladies, are invited to write me with ideas, critiques, and fantasies they would like to share. I look forward to your thoughts!

Cassandra still lay in bed as Stephen packed their bags. Garreth had left the day before, and she and her husband had spent yesterday recuperating from all that glorious sex. They had had a wonderful dinner, gone to a movie, and had come back to the hotel and fallen fast asleep in comfortable pj's, cuddling and kissing. It was the perfect end to a perfect weekend, but now it was coming to an end. It made Cassandra a bit sad to know it; in the last several days, she had gone through a glorious sexual awakening with Stephen and Garreth. But now she would be going back to the life and wife, mother, and professional woman, and while she loved the life she and Stephen had built together, she wished in her heart that she could keep something of this weekend only for herself.
Just as this thought crossed her mind as she silently watched Stephen packing up, she heard her phone on the nightstand ding with a new text message. She picked it to read it, and her heart skipped a beat as she did.
Garreth Bastion: Are you alone right now?
Cassandra bit her lip. Why would he be asking her that? No. Stephen is packing up. We're about to leave the hotel. Is something the matter? She replied to him. Moments passed, and Cassandra glanced across the room at Stephen. She muted the sound on her phone so he couldn't hear the dings without knowing why. A few moments later, the reply came.
Garreth Bastion: No. Nothing is wrong. But I have a proposition for you, pretty lady. A moment when by. Then another. Her heart was racing now. If your interested? Came the next text message.
Cassandra thought a moment. Stephen was zipping up the baggage. "Honey," he asked. "Could you toss me your pj's? They're the last things I have to put in the bags."
"Sure," she said, unbuttoning and removing the soft cotton top and tossing it to him, followed by the bottoms. Stephen stuffed them without folding them (men!) into the suitcase and zipped it up as Cassandra stepped out of bed and crossed the room to where a simple pink cotton dress hung from a coathanger in the closet. She slipped it over her head, and was about to ask Stephen to open the suitcase back up and pull out a pair of panties for her... then thought better of it. Again, she couldn't exactly say why. She walked back over to the nightstand and picked up her phone.
Cassandra Collins: Why don't you tell me what you have in mind, and I'll let you
know if I am interested from there, she replied to Garreth.
Garreth Bastion: Stephen mentioned to me that he paid extra for late checkout
today. You will have that hotel room until 3 PM, and it is only 10AM now. What
are the chances that you could get Stephen to leave for awhile and come back for you later? Maybe you could tell him that you want to relax for a few more hours before heading home?
Cassandra could feel her face getting flushed. This was not part of the plan. She had never cheated on Stephen. She had never gone behind his back. Everything she had done with Garreth she had done with her husband's knowledge and consent. But she would be lying to herself if she had said in that moment the idea didn't thrill her. THIS was being a bad girl. Stephen almost startled her out of her reverie by asking, "You ready to go, babe?"
"I... need to use the bathroom first," she replied.
"No problem. I'll run down to the lobby and get a luggage cart," Stephen said as she walked into the bathroom. She clutched her phone in her hand, and the moment she heard the door shut behind Stephen as he left, she responded to Garreth. The texts came fast and furious between them over the next several minutes.
Cassandra Collins: Why would I do that?
Garreth Bastion: Do you know what I have been wondering over the last several
Days? What would it be like to have you all to myself for a few hours. What kind
of fireworks could we set off if we didn't have your husband as a part of the
equation?
Cassandra Collins: Well, that is something you will always have to wonder about.
Garreth Bastion: Really? It hasn't even crossed your mind?
Cassandra Collins: Maybe it has, but I wouldn't act on it. That would be cheating.
Garreth Bastion: Yes it would. It would be very wicked. But you haven't even let
me explain my proposition yet. And if you can't have a few hours free of your husband, there's no need in even mentioning it to you. So before we go further, could you steal a few hours alone in your hotel room?
Cassandra thought a moment. She and Stephen had planned to have lunch with an old college buddy of hus after they left the hotel, and then this evening they were going to pick up the kids. She supposed that she could suggest he go on without her and leave her at the hotel, then come back and pick her up this afternoon. It wouldn't be much of a problem. Not that she would do it, of course. But she would play along with Garreth.
Cassandra Collins: I suppose I could manage that. But why should I?
Garreth Bastion: Well then, I'll share my proposition with you, pretty lady. I'm in
the hotel restaurant right now. Why don't you get a few hours away from your husband and come have a drink with me. And we'll see where things go from there.
Cassandra Collins: Only a drink?
Garreth Bastion: For starters.
Cassandra jumped as the hotel room door burst open, and Stephen rolled in a
Luggage trolley. "Ready to go, babe? Tom just texted me and said he's on his way."
Cassandra bit her lip, and then without thinking much, said, "You know, honey. It's been so long since you've seen Tom. Why don't I stay here? I could lounge around, maybe head down and have some me time by the pool or in the bar. And when you two boys have finished catching up, you could come back for me?"
Stephen looked perplexed. "Are you sure?"
Cassandra nodded. "Yeah. All you two will do is tell old stories that will bore me anyway," she said with a grin. "You deserve to have guy time. Enjoy it."
"Well, The restaurant is only a mile or so from here, so it wouldn't be inconvenient. Okay, then." He tossed the last suitcase on the luggage trolley, walked over to her, and pecked her on the cheek. I'll be back around 3:00?"
"Sounds, great, honey," she replied. She walked him to the door and opened it, holding it for him and he pushed the trolley out, then let it click closed behind him. She texted Garreth:
Cassandra Collins: You're on.

Five minutes later, Cassandra was sliding onto a bar stool beside Garreth in the hotel bar. He was a drinking a diet soda, and he looked beautiful: He wore a button down white shirt, unbuttoned to his muscular chest, a black sports coat, slacks, and sunglasses. His long, curly hair was swept back. "Hello, Beautiful," He said, grinning. "Thank you for coming."
"Thanks for the invite," She said, trying to keep her voice from wavering. Sh turned to the bartender. "I'll have a mimosa, please."
Garreth grinned, and put a toothpick in his mouth. He looked cocky as hell, and it turned her on. "Are you sure about that?" he asked.
"Sure. I like mimosas."
"Okay," he said. "But I'd wager that when you hear my proposition, you won't want to waste time drinking it."
She returned his smile. "Oh yeah? Aren't you confident. What makes you so sure?"
