Custom Erotica Source

I "auditioned" recently to become a writer for Custom Erotica Source, a VERY cool erotica website run by Sage Vivant and M. Christian. With their permission, I am posting an excerpt from the story. The challenge was to write a very specific story, with characters and plot outlined for me, in one week and in 1000 words. Yikes! To top it off, I had a 9 hour class on one of my two weekend days that week. Here is a bit of what I came up with.

Blooming
by Riain Grey

The woman standing on my stoop was very pretty; a bit unusual looking somehow. Her eyes were a nice woodsy shade of hazel that perfectly complemented her light brown hair. She had a lovely figure, happily unobscured by the yellow summer dress she was wearing. Her breasts were firm and small, with thick nipples that jutted out proudly. Judging from the look of the dress, I was betting that there wasn't much on underneath. If anything. I felt myself get hard at that thought, but I did my best to ignore it. It wouldn't do to leer at the help. There were all kinds of laws about that. At least in the tropical heat of the greenhouse, her nipples wouldn't be quite so --

Suddenly I realized I was staring. Oops.

"Hi," she said, offering her hand for me to shake. "I'm Beth Stevens, here to see Alan. Is that you?"

"That's me. Come on in."

I ushered her into the front room and waved towards the couch. "Go ahead and take a seat, and we can get started. Can I get you something to drink?"

By ten minutes into the interview, I knew that I was going to hire her. She had a nice vibe and had done a lot of different things in her career. She seemed friendly and willing to learn. And I was looking forward to sharing the greenhouse with somebody.

"Why don't you come take a look," I said. "See what you think."

She nodded and followed me through the back of the house. Steam swirled out as soon as I opened the door.

"Wow," she said, surprised.

"I know," I said with a grin. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I don't even feel it anymore."

She took an exploratory sniff and then breathed in appreciatively. "It smells so good in here. Like my grandparents' farm. It's...homey, somehow."

I nodded. "For me, this is home. I sleep in here now and then." I gestured to the far wall. "This is where we'll be planting." The tangle of vines and foliage looked a little intimidating, but she just looked around the greenhouse with a broad smile on her face.

"I'll take the job," she said.

Five Girls sold to MBNE6!

I am very happy to say that my story Five Girls has been chosen to appear in Maxim Jakubowksi's annual erotica anthology, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 6!

This is particularly exciting, because the piece was a bit odd and I was afraid that maybe it wasn't a good fit. It's also very cool because Maxim was the first editor to pay me for my fiction writing. Actually that's a funny story. I was sitting about, minding my own business, when I get this strange email about this book, which I have never heard of, asking for address confirmation for contributor's copies and payment. I write back, and say, I have no clue what you are talking about, are you thinking of publishing a story of mine? and Maxim says, I'm sorry, there must have been a mix-up in my records, because I have it that you agreed to have the piece reprinted.

At this point Maxim expresses his sincere apologies if I didn't want the piece reprinted, but the book is actually ALREADY IN PRINT, so is that okay?

And I say to myself, hmmm, let me think. A well-known editor found one of my stories online (at CleanSheets, as it happens), has put it in a book, and now wants to send me a check and a free copy of said book. Um, okay! It was completely exciting not to mention that since the book had gone to press several months before, I didn't have to wait six months to see it in print.

This will be my third appearance in this series, and I am just pleased as punch. And in a blatant bit of self promotion, here are the other two, just in case you feel like buying some good porn.

Secret Slaves

Rachel Kramer Bussel's new anthology Secret Slaves, which features my story Prix Fixe, hits the bookstores on Saturday. On top of that, I've received a lovely mention from Rachel in her introduction:

"...Riain Grey perfectly captures both sides of the bondage equation "Prix Fixe," where a slave and her master show how perfectly in sync they are. "When you open the door I am kneeling with your drink between my chained hands. My fingers and toes are tingling, my ass full and hot," says her horny slave as she scurries to do his bidding, turning herself on unbearably in the process. Her master does not take this woman's raw need lightly, either—it's not a power trip for the sake of exerting power, it's much stronger, and when he says, "The trust in her electric eyes feeds me," you know they've made a kinky love match."

Wow!

I'm also delighted to announce that I will be one reading at Rachel's erotic reading series In the Flesh. I hope to see you there! Visit the blog for more info!

go forth and purchase, my children

This anthology features one of my stories and will be out in July of this year! It has a cool cover! And you can even buy it ahead of time!

Yes, that's right, this is shameless self-promotion. But seriously, this book looks pretty cool. It's edited by the fabulous Rachel Kramer Bussel, too, so you know it will be good!

I will be sharing the ToC with the likes of Tara Alton, Simon Sheppard and Zaedryn Meade. Rockin'!

breakfast

Hannah bit into the orange. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. The drops of juice on her lips mesmerized me. All I could think about was pushing my cock into her. I cleaned off the kitchen table in record time. She was on her back in seconds, her legs spread for me. Her mouth was warm and her tiny noises drove me crazy. By the time I shoved into her she was wet and panting for it. Juices squirted out of her when she came, so much sweeter than the orange I could taste on her breath.

She clicks the button again, her heart pounding. Will he write today? It bothers her that it matters. After all, they will meet on Sunday as planned, whether he writes or not. He warned her about this addiction to suspense. He told her that he writes for his pleasure, not hers. Still, she shivers in hopeful anticipation. The words that spell out what he’ll do to her make her tremble. Tied. Collar. Dog. Candle. Whip. When his next mail finally arrives, she will gasp in relief, grateful and frightened at the same time.
