Anya Sigurdson is counting down the days. She’s alone, working on an array orbiting a distant moon, the isolation seriously cramping her access to sex. Until her remaining thirteen days are up, her own fingers will have to do—or so she thinks.The Damianos have other plans. A race of pure energy, the Damianos seek pleasure in flesh and have an unusual talent. They can fracture into as many lovers as Anya needs. She is a rare find, and they intend to enjoy her, love her every chance and every way they can. But to keep her they need an anchor, another body to fix them in her dimension.And a prime candidate is on his way.
Isolated duty in the depths of space has left Anya fantasizing about what she will do with her upcoming R&R time. Those fantasies take a very real-feeling turn one night. Being she can't see are touching her and fulfilling her every erotic wish. But it's not just her imagination. A race of formless aliens are there, making the most pleasurable of contacts with her.
The aliens may be formless and invisible to the station sensors, but the energy spikes they cause raise suspicions at command. A team is sent to investigate the anomalies. Keve has a special reason to want to be on the team. He's seen spikes like this before and has his own reasons to want to make contact.
This is one hot little read. The sci-fi world felt very natural from the start and the sex was scorching. This one is going in my keeper file.
I'm not much into science fiction, but this was actually better than I thought it was going to be. Even though it's a short story, there was a plot, it wasn't all about sex; although the sex is pretty freakin' hot!
The only thing that skeeved me out was when Anya and Keve got it in, she hadn't showered from the last time she got it in with the Damianos, which wasn't long at all.
Crazy weird & crazy hot! I have read and re-read this novella a gazillion times. It blends two of my favorite types of reads - really wild sci-fi/fantasy + erotica. Imaginative and well-written and a real sensory journey. I've just heard a rumor that the author is working on a sequel. Can't wait!
