Week 57’s Recommended Read
Making Him Wait – Kay Jaybee
Maddie isn’t your ordinary run-of-the-mill artist. She knows how to blend the erotic into her art, happily using herself and others as a gateway, until they are all mentally, physically and sexually exhausted. When Maddie meets Theo, she takes the game to a whole new level, hoping the wait will make it all that much better, but she may have met her match.
This sexy tale is chocked full of erotic scenes incorporating themes of bondage, Dominance and submission, and Discipline. Make sure you have a free hand!
