Lust

Lust, edited by Violet Blue, is a collection of short stories for women that capitalize on pure fantasy. There's no fancy elaboration on setting or super-deep development of story - just straight-up erotic tales that get right to the point, all while maintaining high quality writing. From the hunky soap star stopping off at the roadside fruit stand for a little more than a peach, to the inter-office romance that begins with sexy stockings and dirty tech-talk, to the psychic and the private eye getting turned on to their kinky sides. Stories range in explicitness, but tend to be on the softer end of things. Great for those who fantasize about daily life getting unexpectedly hot in the blink of an eye.
