What an incredibly delicious story. Laran begin the orientation with Derek,his wife Elizabeth and Ben. Plenty of teasing, kissing and playing between Ben and Elizabeth with Derek's full approval. The sexual tension between Elizabeth and Ben is incredible. She feels that it isn't cheating if there is no penetration. Deliciously crafted scenes that take us further and further each time. After her dalliance with Ben - enter Dieter. A German with an extremely large sausage. Total fulfilment guaranteed for all parties. Derek is cuckolded and Elizabeth is deliriously happy. Five stars.
I felt like the wife was a bad accident you couldn't turn away from because you had to see what happened. She was so obtuse she actually came across as mentally deficient until about 70 percent. It was painful. The drawn out teasing was hot, however. She was just queen of denial, justification and so Judgey....especially considering what she was doing. Very unsettling and by far not one of this author's best.
I really enjoyed this book. I love the pacing the author has, things go progressively further with each encounter rather than having sex scenes thrown in early without building any tension.
