Connie
"My eyes widened as I watched the rhythmic timing of her stroke slow as she headed for the steps at the far end of the pool. Veering towards the pool steps I knew she would soon be revealing herself to me. The back of her head lifted almost fully from the water for the first time, the sun glinting off her slick, silken hair, the tops of her shoulders about to follow.Languid, short breaststrokes moved her closer to the first step as her hand came up to gather her hair in a bunch behind her head, quickly whipping it to the right, the tips leaping out of the water, a stream of water splashing away from her. Her slender neck now exposed as her hand squeezed the water from her dark, silky locks.She flicked her head quickly to the left to clear that irritating, unwanted wetness from her ear, and then just as quickly, flicked it to the right. Her legs had moved underneath her as her feet touched the pool bottom, lifting her shoulders higher out of the water, revealing the flimsy cross-over straps of her jet black swimsuit. Both hands moved to the sides of her face as she brought them back to flatten her hair. Tilting her head back as she did so, I caught a glimpse of her high cheekbones.As she straightened her back, I saw the full extent of her broad, lightly-muscled shoulders, the deep scalloped cutaway of her swimsuit plunging down her slick back. Her legs now doing their best to walk her closer to the first step as her yet-to-be revealed hips swivelled, struggling against the pressure of the water.My thigh clenched involuntarily as this water goddess continued to emerge, revealing herself to me in a delightful, slow-motion unveiling..."

This first-person (POV) -related story is indeed a page turner! And although the object of the narrator’s (Sarah Majors) lustful and lascivious poolside observations is not named until we’re well into the story, the description of that object is meticulous and compelling.
By the time we actually learn the object’s name (Connie — short for ‘Consuelo' — Sabatini), we already know that this is going to be an enormously erotic tale. Ms. Pliton’s talent shows right through in her word-choice (even if I have to question her use of “lent” when I believe she wants “leaned”; her inversion of splendid vision to “vision splendid”; the right justification of “throug-hout” rather than “through-out”; her use of “fixated” when I believe she wants “fixed”; and finally, the metaphor of “wet serpent” to describe Connie’s tongue, not to mention “cuntal queendom” to describe … well, I’ll leave that to you), sentence after sentence, and helps to build the momentum of the story bit by precious bit.
In any case, don’t let my fastidiousness interfere with your quiet enjoyment of this story. It’s well worth the read! Just please tell me: am I the only person in Christendom who still differentiates, at least at an anatomical level, between a ‘vulva’ and a ‘vagina?’
“She was achingly fit,” for instance, doesn’t even begin to describe — in the author’s own words — the picture of Connie, (and it is consequently easy for me to understand how and why erotica sells so well!). That said, Sarah Majors, our nurse in the story, obviously wrestles with professional versus personal (and physically-charged!) considerations as she undertakes to examine Connie for a shoulder injury Connie had once received in her youthful, horseback-riding days back home in Argentina. Regular readers of erotica no doubt know that it’s just this kind of ‘do-I-or-don’t-I?’ dilemma that gives erotica its piquancy. “Dismiss those thoughts, Sarah, or BE dismissed, it’s your call,” Sarah thinks at one point, and we can certainly empathize if we’ve ever been in a similar situation.
Rather than deliver a ‘teaser alert’ at this point, I’ll say no more about the plot line than to suggest that serendipity — as it so often does — as well as a simple massage both play a pivotal role in this story. And so, let yourself be serendipitously “massaged” by Ms. Pliton’s prose. The story is little more than an hour’s read — but a possible lifetime memory.
“That. Was. Amazing.” Connie pronounces at the conclusion of the episode. And indeed it was!
If I’ve awarded this story only three stars, by the way, this decision has nothing to do with the content (which is certainly worth five stars), but rather with the writing mechanics. Persnickety writer-ass that I am, I believe it is the writer’s obligation to a reader to ensure that a text is error-free. This one, unfortunately, is not.

WRITING AS LUNA BALLANTYNE
I couldn't find an awful lot of information about the author, Sarah Pliton other than the fact that she lives in the Americas...
Connie was recommended to me while on a free promotion last week and is a short story based upon a hot and steamy Lesbian encounter which Sarah, the nurse at an exclusive boarding school has at a local swimming pool.
I was impressed when I first started reading this book, because it is incredibly well written and I sense that the author has a swimming background as some of the descriptions were incredibly descriptive and I was hooked. I did however, start losing interest around half way through because both of the characters, Sarah and Connie come across as, pardon the pun, incredibly shallow. Although the Americans class "School" differently to us Brits (We would say someone of Connie's age was at college or university) I still couldn't get the fact that Sarah was a nurse at the boarding school which Connie attended out of my head and this concept definitely detracted from the sex scenes as it felt like a major breach of trust. I could have also seriously done without the sound effects that the characters were making during their sex session.
I like sex scenes (and sex!) to be raunchy and full on and the author definitely delivered on that front, as the scenes in this book are incredibly hot and descriptive, however, I also need to be stimulated mentally as well as physically and the lack of any form of plot as well as the issues that I had about the ethics of Sarah and Connie's relationship were definitely a downside for me and without meaning to sound overly critical, for an erotic novel, the cover leaves a lot to be desired. That said, if you are in need of a quick erotic fix and are looking for a smoking hot Lesbian read without needing to be in any way mentally challenged, then this is definitely worth downloading!
