it’s not just love.The people around her are all involved -- in committed,

kind that makes her friend Kendall glow with vibrant
sexuality -- with one person, let alone two.When she takes a ‘special’ cruise, she’s shocked to find
herself aroused by blatant, public sexual displays. She’s
never even thought of herself as especially kinky. And

walk on the wild side!
EXCERPT:
As that song ended and another began, she felt the
familiar sensation of being watched. Opening her eyes,
she scanned the room.An attractive couple lounged against the wall to her
right. The man was tall, and muscular in a lean,
athletic way. In the muted light, the only other features
she could make out clearly were the brilliant blue eyes
staring into hers.A petite woman stood at his side. Her striking auburn
hair, cut in a pageboy, gleamed as she turned her head
to meet Brandy’s inquisitive gaze. On anyone else,
Brandy would have considered the haircut old-fashioned.
On this woman, it was gorgeous ... seductive. She followed
the lazy curve of one dark copper strand to where it just
brushed the bottom of the woman’s full, red lips, and felt
an unexpected tightening in her nipples.Hell’s bells! Embarrassed, she looked away. She could still
feel them watching. Nervous, she nipped at her bottom lip.
She’d never had that kind of reaction to a woman before.
What the heck was going on?Unable to stop herself, she glanced at them again. They
seemed to have been waiting for exactly that. The man’s
bright gaze captured hers, held her captive as he lowered
his head, brushing strong, narrow lips against his
companion’s luscious red ones.Brandy’s nipples began to flat-out tingle. She allowed her
gaze to travel down, saw his hand sliding up across the
woman’s toned, red-clad belly to cup her breast. With one
swift movement, he brushed the wisp of fabric covering her
chest to the side, freeing one compact, pert breast.Brandy gasped. The woman’s eyes found hers. She smiled
seductively as her companion teased her nipple between a
thumb and forefinger.Brandy tore her gaze away, searching the crowded room.
No one else seemed to notice what was going on. As a matter
of fact, there were quite a few risque situations playing themselves
out in dark corners.Brandy sat up, toyed with her glass. She should get out, go
back to her room. This was just a little too kinky for her.
But, damn! She had mentioned to Kendall dating a lot of
guys over the last six years, but the truth of the matter was,
she’d pretty much quit dating about three years ago. She
hadn’t found it worth the trouble.And now this. She shifted, crossing her legs, pressing her
thighs tight against her now-throbbing clit. She hadn’t been
this horny in ages. She’d never thought of herself as a voyeur,
but ... just one more peek.She looked up, saw them watching her. They both smiled.
The woman glanced down, drawing Brandy’s attention to the
place where her slender fingers slipped beneath her companion’s
waistband. He continued to watch Brandy as he lowered his
head, his mouth closing on the woman’s exposed nipple as she
licked her lips, her bold gaze traveling the length of Brandy’s
body.Brandy took a deep breath, a surge of hot desire enveloping
every place the woman’s gaze rested. She set her glass down,
drew fingers tipped by cool, glistening condensation along her
neckline, thinking that would cool her off.Instead, she found her hand drifting down to toy lightly with
one prominent nipple as she watched the dark-haired man
suckle. His gaze flicked to her hand. Opening his mouth, he
mimicked her finger’s movements with his tongue while his
companion closed her eyes and murmured something.Brandy couldn’t look away, couldn’t stop. They unearthed such
a fire in her belly, such burning need. She leaned back into the
deep chair, turned slightly, and drew one leg up. No one else
would be able to see her actions, but they would. Sliding one
hand beneath her skirt, she pushed her panties aside and slipped
two trembling fingers into her saturated pussy.The man moved, whispering into his companion’s ear. She turned
and stood in front of him, leaning back against him, and they both
watched Brandy. Even as she fingered her pussy, she couldn’t
believe she was doing it. The woman was playing with her own
nipples, staring at the place where Brandy’s hand disappeared
beneath her skirt.The man reached down, placing his hands on the woman’s
firm, rounded buttocks. He walked his fingers like spiders,
sliding the lower half of her dress up in the back. The red-
haired beauty grinned at Brandy as her companion unzipped
his pants. She leaned forward, and the man’s hands held
her waist. They turned slightly, allowing Brandy a brief
glimpse of his long, rigid cock before it disappeared
between the woman’s bronzed, shapely thighs.Oh, damn! Brandy pressed her legs together tight around
her wrist, fingers buried deep inside her, riveted by the
performance. Their hot, hungry gazes never left her. The
man let the skirt fall. The woman straightened slightly,
reaching back to cup his buttocks, drawing him tightly
against her.Brandy no longer registered anyone else but them. The
fingers in her pussy twisted and writhed. Her entire body
was one tight-wound thread that threatened to break at
the slightest touch. In the back of her mind, she was
shocked at her own behavior, but she couldn’t look away.
Didn’t want to. She caught her bottom lip between her
teeth as she felt her climax building.The couple’s eyes bore into hers -- calculating, measuring,
weighing. Brandy found that she was holding her breath,
as though waiting for their judgment. Her climax wavered,
held at bay by their careful scrutiny. Just when she thought
she wouldn’t be able to take it any longer, their features
softened. They smiled.Brandy gasped, arched. She broke out in a sweat as her
climax peaked and ebbed, peaked and ebbed. The woman’s
eyes glazed. She arched. The man grasped her shoulders,
pressing her down tight against him, and Brandy watched
in fascination as they trembled with their own pleasure.
