Chances, an apt title for Bridget Midway's intelligent interracial erotic short e-story.
Chances are, the reader is convinced Christa, a 30-something corporate climber only desires a good hard romp with a real man. Rebounding from a long lackluster relationship that dulled her body and spirit, Christa begins her story at a corporate party, where she describes her determination to finally have a good time.
Amongst office leering, drinking, and dancing, Christa surprises herself by fantasizing of an over-the-phone company man she has never met but spent many years with laughing and flirting on company time.
Torn between needs for lust and love, Christa drinks herself brave and with the assistance of a brash office chick, Christa finally pairs herself with a sex-hungry corporate hunk and player who's itching for conquest.
As Chances would have, Christa unexpectedly meets her office phone partner in-person at the party, while toting the man-hunk she's decided to lure.
Faced with hope, disappointment, and a decision between two men, Christa's past tensions, attractions, and desires for her own happiness help her to take a Chance on the unexpected choice, and lead readers to a satisfying conclusion.
Told in a quick and strong, liberated woman's voice, Chances is sexy and real. Cover artwork is alluring but falls slight in illustrating the energy, wit and clarity presented in Ms. Midway's short erotic story.
