Dessert
Nyotaimori was new for me, eating my dinner off a beautiful naked woman an experience I'd never been lucky enough to indulge in. So when a customer treated me to a meal at The Geisha Plate it was an effort to keep my cock under control and my focus on the food. Damn, it had been a while! But control myself I did-until, that is, the spice levels cranked to boiling point and dessert turned out to be a mind-blowing, soul-twistingly delicious blowjob. I instantly craved more. Plus I'm not a guy who likes debt. I had to return the favor by hook or by crook; it was an urge that threatened to consume me. Luckily my lovely Geisha girl turned out to be the sweetest woman I'd ever had the pleasure of pleasuring, and her healthy appetite for getting raw and naked with me for starters, main course and dessert turned out to be a wild ride for my every fantasy, and enough to keep me more than satisfied in every department.

I was intrigued the moment I saw the cover for Dessert by Lily Harlem. A naked woman, covered in beautifully crafted sushi? It seemed more art than erotica. Who could resist with a cover like that? Not me!
John Alan owns a company that provides equipment and supplies to outdoor enthusiasts. He’s grown his company from the ground up, and continues to be very hands-on in spite of his success. But success in the business world doesn’t always equate to success in life. John’s divorced, and can’t seem to find a woman he’d like to spend more than an evening with. Imagine his surprise when he walks into the exclusive, member’s only Geisha Plate for a dinner meeting with a supplier and discovers his sushi meal will be served on top of a beautiful naked woman.
Nyotaimori is the ancient Japanese practice of using the beauty of a naked female body to enhance the presentation of a meal. Some argue that the “art” designation of Nyotaimori is an erroneous western myth, and that it is truly an underground show, the same as erotic dancing and other activities. Whatever the origins, I love it. Unlike sploshing, a messier practice where the diners actually eat directly with their mouth, Nyotaimori maintains a distance, with chopsticks or fingers used to remove the sushi from the living plate.
In Dessert, John struggles to keep his mind on business with such loveliness spread before him. When his supplier leaves, he is told to remain for “dessert”. Yes, you can guess what kind of “dessert” John receives! He’s smitten, but how can he ever see this woman again? He doesn’t know her name, and isn’t a member of the club. I’ll admit a cringed a bit when John decided to lurk in an alley outside the restaurant for his Geisha to leave work. She reacted accordingly, and John went home, convinced he’d never see her again and ashamed of his creepy behavior. But Tida is an assertive girl, who knows what she wants, and lucky for John, he’s it. She knows his name and business from listening during her supine position over dinner, and takes a bold step by coming by one of his stores. They spend the weekend hiking and camping, and getting to know each other in a deliciously carnal fashion.
Harlem’s prose is beautiful. It flows smoothly, and I quickly identified with the protagonist. I loved that the story is told from the male point of view. The sex scenes were smoking, but nothing compared to the build up of the meal on Tida’s body. By the time John had finished his “dessert” I needed a cold shower. My only complaint is that the last chapter, sort of an epilogue happy-ever-after, seemed rather tacked on. Still, it was well written and I enjoyed the final sex scene that showed the progression of Tida’s and John’s relationship. Oral, and anal sex, as well as an intriguing use of erotic foods.

What a cracker of a story!
John gets taken to a rather exclusive Japanese restaurant and is served his food from a rather unusual plate. After his desert John is determined to meet his 'dish'.
An erotically charged feast told from the male POV.
This story has been re-issued with a new cover in March 2016 - the story is the same.

Article first published as eBook Review: Dessert by Lily Harlem on Blogcritics.
Dessert is Lily Harlem's contribution to Ellora's Cave's EC for Men range - and the story is just as hot as the cover - hotter, in fact!
It's the story of John Alan, a divorced guy who runs an incredibly successful chain of shops which sell outdoor clothes and equipment. He's taken for dinner by a business contact who's hoping to win his business. The destination is an incredibly exclusive restaurant called The Geisha Plate. The name and the fact it's so difficult to get a reservation at the place intrigue John, but when he gets there he soon realises why.
The name - The Geisha Plate - is literal. Diners eat their dinner from a naked geisha girl. John's gobsmacked by the turn of events, but his shock soon turns to arousal. His 'plate' is gorgeous, and John's sex-starved state means he's incredibly aroused by the sight before him. Knowing, however, how much trouble he could get into for behaving inappropriately - plus he's just not that kind of guy - John keeps himself in check. That is, until his potential supplier goes home, leaving John to enjoy his dessert alone. Only, just as the dinner was unusual, the dessert is even more so and leaves John with a longing that just won't go away. But can he sate it?
Dessert is an absolutely brilliant read. I'm a fan of Lily Harlem and her writing style, and this short story is no exception. It's quirky, unique and highly enjoyable. There's plenty of eroticism in the tale, and also some romance. Whether you're male or female (bearing in mind this range is aimed at men), if you enjoy erotic romance with an unusual twist, then you should definitely check out this book.

Ok, I know the title says 'An erotic story for men' but as my husband isn't a reader, I decided to read it to him instead. The story centres around John Alan, a businessman who is taken out for a business diner to an exclusive Japanese restaurant. The plate the food is served on is a unique and extremely enjoyable surprise for John who wants to get to know his 'plate' more intimately. And boy does John get his wish!
From the male point of view, this book received multiple raised and waggling eyebrows, cheeky smiles and hitched breathing. If that's not a sign of a red hot story then I don't know what is.

I know this book is intended for the male reader but seeing as I'm a huge fan of Lily Harlem, I wanted to read this. I love books told by the male POV and this was no exception. It's still the steamy ness I've come to expect and hits the spot the way only her writing can do. For such a short quick read, it still gets the juiciest flowing and the story is easy to follow and fall in love with. Unfortunately, I still don't want to eat sushi
