In Search of Rainbows and Unicorns
By Lily Harlem

Thank you for letting me stop by today, it’s great to be here. I’ve been so excited to be part of SINFUL PLEASURES a truly fabulous and deliciously sexy anthology. I write erotic romance in several sub genres, including ménage a trois, paranormal, hot sporting themed novels and GBLT. My story in SINFUL PLEASURES is male/female and is a theme I’ve come back to a few times – what happens when two people click in every way except in the bedroom? Is it time to throw in the towel and kiss the relationship goodbye or can it be salvaged? I like to think with a bit of effort and imagination it can be salvaged. This however usually means one person has to step out of their comfort zone, be brave and say exactly what they want.
In FIREWORKS, Alice is in a good place in her life. She’s in love, her career is going well, she’s feeling physically great after a struggle with her weight, but one thing is getting her down. Between the sheet action is just so dull, if it even happens at all. It takes a tease from a group of guys on a stag-do to make her realise she has to take control of her colourless sex life. She wants the whole shebang with Julian, not just the ‘they’re a great couple’ on paper. This sets her up with a plan to seduce him in a way that will blow his mind and get him raring for action. It does take courage, it also means she puts herself in a position where she feels vulnerable. But as they say, nothing worth having is easy, and in life, including a sex life, you get out what you put into it.
I really hope you enjoy FIREWORKS and reading how hunky doctor Julian is persuaded to put the sparks back into his bedtime routine!

Excerpt from “Fireworks”
Sinful Pleasures

Before long, Alice was dressed in the new black negligee. It was silky against her skin, the lace bra section doing nothing to disguise her hard nipples and the frill around the base only just hiding the fact she wasn’t wearing underwear. Glancing in the full-length mirror, she went up onto her toes, elongating her legs. Damn, she’d look better in heels.
After a quick rummage she found what she was looking for—the sexy stilettoes with the silvery heels she’d worn with jeans the night before.
Perfect.
But the look wasn’t complete. She needed to fully transform from a ready-for-bed-girl to a woman who was going to take what she wanted and demand obedience.
With a fluttering stomach she battled with a desire to throw the whole idea out of the window and hide her purchases in the back of the closet. Steeling her determination, because she hated the thought of failing to do something she’d set her mind to, she grabbed her makeup bag. It only took a few minutes to add a sweep of powder, a stroke of mascara and a slick of To Die For red lipstick.
A pack of bobby pins called to her, and she swept her hair up, stabbing in the pins haphazardly to create a tousled up-do. Gone was the slick shoulder-length brunette hair, and in it’s place was the just-fucked-look.
She smiled and downed the rest of her wine.
As she poured another glass, she heard a click.
Julian.
He was back sooner than she’d expected.
Quickly she turned off the bright over-head light and sat in the plush plum-coloured chair by the window with her legs crossed. She assumed the relaxed position just as he opened the door.
“I’m sure it will be fine with Alice, she always enjoys meeting my overseas colleagues.”
Fuck.
He had someone with him. A colleague. Of all the times…
Alice’s heart skipped a beat, heat roamed over her chest, neck and cheeks. Fight or flight?
Of course she did neither, she just sat here, dumbly, looking like a sexy nympho awaiting her boyfriend.
Which, of course, was exactly what she was.
Julian’s eyes widened when he saw her. His jaw dropped open and he scanned his gaze from her toes to her head. But his reactions were quick and he backed up, taking whoever was a step behind with him.
The door shut with an alarming slam.
