Surrogate

by Ellison James

Marla gets more than she bargained for when she participates in a study at the Geil Clinic involving "Remote Influence." Her, and three other women share things that go beyond intimate in this spicy little study involving telepathy, Sapphic desire, and a surrogate who is more than willing to lend herself for the good of the experiment.



Marla felt the hands again, this time moving slowly down her arms, and it made her hair stand up and her skin set to gooseflesh. Her mind warmed to the feeling, as if this entity spoke to her in some unheard voice, telling her it meant no harm, telling her it desired only to please her. The feeling of ghost fingers were now on her legs, moving slowly down the outsides of her thighs and circling her knees. This was more than just a manufactured sensation; these were actual hands on her, at least that's the way it felt. It was more than just some machine generating tactile feeling upon her. The touch came from an entity, a person … a woman. She suddenly knew it was real—as real as the very bed under her. This was an actual person reaching out to her from somewhere, trying to connect. Marla's mind worked overtime, putting together the pieces through the sensations she felt. The body of the entity was generic but she had a clear picture of those fingers in her mind.

About the author

Ellison James crafts stories of fantasy, urban fantasy, erotica, and everything in between. Born in the Northwestern part of the United States, now living in the Southeast, Ellison James uses a lifetime of living throughout the world as backdrops for stories that usually start in the real world, and then make a quick departure into believable worlds of the fantastic.

"I like to play with perceptions, stretch the boundaries of believability by making Monsters, Demons, Elves and Faeries seem like normal everyday folks that just happen to do extraordinary things."

The work of Ellison James is often erotic but never smutty, depicting this facet of life like it really is, and from all points of view.

Reviews

[Arlyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hate to say it, but while the concept was creative, the book crawled at a snail's pace for me, almost painfully so. This was not a long read, but it felt like it was entirely too long for the story contained wihin the pages. I feel the same story could have been told in about 1/3 of the text that was utilized. It actually would have made for a great SHORT read.

That said, the theme and story line were creative and original, and the characters were well developed. And while this bears no reflection on the author, my personal reading list lately has contained an overwhelming majority of M/M romance. So, while I'm currently obsessed with that genre, I'm happy with nothing but penises represented in my sex scenes...this book contained 4 vaginas and no penis. Just not for me.
