Nope, I’m not showing off my new sexy knickers, I’m sure that’s a relief to you all. No I’m going to reveal something far more exciting than that. Two anthologies filled with fantastic stories of voyeurism from some absolutely smokingly good authors. Let’s start with
A Multi-author M/M anthology from the writers of Wednesday Briefs, who bring you prompt induced Flash fiction every Wednesday. Bigger Briefs is an anthology we began to showcase our slightly bigger briefs. Er, flash fiction. We invite you to take the journey with us!
Have you ever had the feeling you’re being watched? Sometimes, watching can be naughty. And nice. Seven erotic stories from of those who are spied upon, and those who do the spying. You might be surprised to learn who has their eye… on you…
Victoria Blisse: What’s in the Box
The things one does for siblings! Two sisters attend a performance, but the attention of one wanders, and she discovers that there are far more interesting happenings then what is going on up on the stage. Should she reveal herself, or simply keep watching the private show?
Elyzabeth M. VaLey: Watch Me Tomorrow, Watch Me Forever
What do you do when the woman you loves weds another, through no fault of her own? And even when fate frees her from the bonds of that unwanted matrimony, you cannot push your own suit, because it is forbidden to do so? And the only way you can show her you love her is by letting her watch you pleasure yourself in her stead… even as she does the same?
Meg Wesley: Coming Home
Dennis comes home early from a business trip, and wants to surprise his wife. But she isn’t there. And when she returns, he discovers she has a bit of a surprise for him, as he becomes an unexpected spectator to more than he bargained for.
Julie Lynn Hayes: Great Expectations
Delilah frequents Great Expectations not because of their tea, because of one man—Sam Sun. He is her obsession, and she is his stalker. But an unexpected turn of events brings her into a closer juxtaposition with his private life than even she has ever dreamed of…
Sara York: Sneak a Peek
While making a delivery to a guest’s room at the posh hotel where she works, Cassandra jumps into the closet, rather than reveal her presence. Why? She doesn’t know herself. But she gets more than she bargained for when she spies on the guest and the sexy bartender she’s had her eye on. Will she live out her fantasies through the other woman?
AJ Jarrett: A Hard Work Out
Kate goes to the gym to work out, not pick up men. But she isn’t blind, and she’s noticed how good looking Kyler is, even if they’ve never spoken. When Fate thrusts a naked Kyler into her line of vision, how can she help but not look? And wish… and hope…
Eden Connor: Resumes, Red Ruffles and Rain
You never know what you might get when you leave your resume at a lingerie shop, Maritza got the attention of Sebastian, the hot shop assistant and she finds her inhibitions washed away by the heat of his heavy gaze as he watches her trying on her new red ruffled underwear.
A little Excerpt from my story to give you a taster of what you can expect. I’ve read all these stories and they are really very, very good. And as each are just 3000 words long they’re short and sweet too!
I must admit to finding myself a little turned on by the whole situation. I’d have never put myself down as a kinky soul before. I’m married and I enjoy sex, but apart from a little chocolate body paint at Valentine’s and that one time Mark surprised me with some very fluffy handcuffs for our tenth anniversary, I’d say my sex life is pretty vanilla.
I can’t keep my eyes off the couple in the corner and as I watch, I discover the second person is definitely a man. I know this because his thick, pink erection is now contrasting against the black of his trousers. I watch as his female companion wraps her delicate fingers around his girth and moves her hand up and down his length.

And now onto the other Anthology.
A Multi-author M/F anthology from the writers of Wednesday Briefs, who bring you prompt induced Flash fiction every Wednesday. Bigger Briefs is an anthology we began to showcase our slightly bigger briefs. Er, flash fiction. We invite you to take the journey with us!
Have you ever had the feeling you’re being watched? Sometimes, watching can be naughty. And nice. Seven erotic stories of those who are spied upon, and those who do the spying. You might be surprised to learn who has their eye… on you…
Victoria Blisse: First Time Voyeur
What do you do when you’re cleaning the toilets in a bar after closing and realise that two of your hottest customers have been left behind and are doing things you’ve dreamed of doing to them for weeks? Do you walk away? Or do you take a peep in the mirror and join in the fun?
Nephylim: Boy Can She Dance
A street urchin, thrown out by his family, forced to live rough and eat stale pasties he stole from a dustbin, realises that his best chance on a cold night close to Christmas is to hug the side of a house. Hearing music, he peeps through the window, spying a mysterious and beautiful dancer and is given the best Christmas present he’s ever had.
Lily Sawyer: Pool Party
What happens when a Hollywood pool boy crashes a private pool party between an A-lister and his sexy partner? He becomes privy to something the tabloids would pay big bucks to know.
Julie Lynn Hayes: Roommates
When you think that your roommates have all gone home for Christmas… When your brother has let you down and you’re forced to spend one more night in an empty dorm… When you investigate strange noises in the night and discover that two of your roommates haven’t gone anywhere? Do you watch, reveal yourself, or run away?
A J Jarrett: My Lucky Night
When your friend talks you into going to a sex club and someone with a sexy voice and talented hands puts his arms around you from behind, while you watch two hot men go crazy on the stage, do you turn him down, or do you let him turn you on?
Sara York: Passion Bringer
It’s the dim and distant future, in a world where sex and emotion have been suppressed for so long many people don’t know what it feels like to love or experience it. In such a world, when taking the pills is no longer obligatory, where the work of the Passion Bringers is at its height, when you’re trying to convince your partner that you should take your relationship to a whole new level, what do you do when you watch your partner with a Passion Bringer on the closed circuit camera he knows it’s your job to man?
L M Brown:The Watcher
When you’re rich, but horribly scarred, and your only pleasure is to watch people come and go in the hotel you own…When you inadvertently watch the hottest guy you’ve ever seen make love in a lift… When you employ someone to recreate the event, and then when the person you employed brings the hot man to your door… Do you dare to open it?
First Time Voyeur is my first ever solely M/M piece and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it. Here’s a little excerpt for you to sample, I hope you like it!
I didn’t have to go far into the tiled space before I caught a glimpse of what was happening. You won’t find mirrors in many male toilets in Britain, but Tilly’s has a bank of them as Justin knows the kind of guys who use his facilities. The kind of man who likes to make sure he’s looking his best. I could see that Connor and Frank hadn’t gone home at all. Frank was on his knees before Connor, stroking at the erection sticking temptingly out of the pants, just at the level of his mouth. I licked my lips. I wanted to be in Frank’s position, and my mouth watered eagerly at the thought of tasting the brunet’s thick, darkened pink cock.
I completely forgot everything else. I lost myself in watching the action. You might think it was like watching a porn movie, but it was much more. I could hear them and see them, but I could also smell the tang of hand wash and a background of bleach, with the heated musk of men and sex. I could taste my own sweat pearling on my top lip, mirroring that decorating Connor’s brow. And I could sense them. I could feel the heaviness of the tension, the desire between them, and the urgency of the act with the added spice of maybe, possibly, getting caught.

Recipe: Chocolate Muffins & Milk Chocolate Frosting.
posted in Recipes | Tagged: butter cream icing, chocolate muffin, milk chocolate frosting, recipes, tasty treats
So, I like to cook. I do, I like to share recipes too. If you check out the Total-E-Bound Newsletter you’ll find my Naked Chef column. There’s some great recipes in those for you to check out! I’ve decided that from time to time I’ll share recipes here too because I’m more than just a smut writing sex machine you know. ;)
This weekend I was browsing around pintrest which is a new procrastination tool of mine. I was scrolling through the recipes looking for something easy and yummy to bake for a visit to my mum’s on Sunday. It was Mother’s day yesterday in the UK so I wanted to make something a little new, a little different for my lovely mummy (and my daughter, Nanna, and sister who were there too!) and I came across this recipe (you need to scroll to the bottom to find the actual recipe) and thought it sounded pretty darn good.
So I headed for my kitchen! Here’s my recipe, tweaked very slightly from the original!
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour (original calls for 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt (1/2 tsp in original recipe)
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil (any tasteless oil is good here!)
1 large egg, beaten
Okay, so first you want to preheat your oven to gas mark 6 or the equivalent.
Next grab out a couple of bowls, bun trays ( muffin trays if you want BIG cakes!) and a wooden spoon.
Okay, into the smaller of your two bowls put your dry ingredients, sift them if you like! Flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and sugar. Mix it up.
Okay, now grab your large bowl and crack the egg into it. Add your oil and milk and whisk it up until everything is evenly mixed. Now dump the dry ingredients into the wt ingredients and stir.
MASSIVELY HUGELY IMPORTANT NOTE if you want that springy, holey, nummy muffin texture you do not want to stir too much. Just until you can’t see any big clumps of dry ingredients. Yes, it will look lumpy, yes, there may be little pools of liquid you’ve not incorporated but that is GOOD, trust me. I’ve over stirred many a muffin mix.
Okay, so now you split your muffin mix between your cases. I got eight large muffins out of my mix. You could make little cupcake sized mini muffins jsut as easily, I guess you’d get around 16-18 muffins ish if you did that. Just make sure not to fill your cases much more/much less than 2/3 full. That gets you a nicely filled muffin case once they’ve risen.
Slam said muffins into your oven and leave then for 15 minutes. Have a quick peek and (if they’re looking done enough) a quick poke. If you’re doing mini muffins your babies will probably be done by now. Check by inserting a tooth pick/ skewer and seeing if it comes out clean. My big muffins took 20 minutes to cook right through. I left mine in the trays to cool (I was just being lazy) and I don’t think it impacted on the process at all. But put them on a wire rack if you want, I won’t stop you. :)
Okay, so I think these muffins might be perfectly delicious on their own. They’re quite dense and fudgey but it was mother’s day so I wanted to add icing! Now, If I’m going to be icing chocolate cakes I will very often fall back on a dark chocolate frosting recipe I found on the internet many moons ago. I have it written down somewhere but I never actually look at the recipe. I make it up as I go along. So the american style frosting jumped to mind but I had no dark chocolate in my baking cupboard. So I substituted Milk chocolate instead. This makes a very sweet icing but as the muffin is so dense and dark it worked pretty well!
I pretty much made this up as I went along, this is the aproximate measurements I used.
1 ounce (ish) milk chocolate
1 ounce (ish) butter
1 tablespoon milk (maybe a splash more)
I combined these 3 things in a bowl and whacked ‘em in the microwave. I normally do this in a pan but as I was cooking tea at the time I had no room on my stove! So I heated on high for a minute, stirred, heated on high another minute and stirred again. Everything went melty and gooey -perfick.
Next ingredient:
Icing Sugar
Yep, I’m not going to give you measurements because at this point you just sift in as much icing sugar as it takes to turn your liquid goop (tasty liquid goop, mind) into a nice, stiff icing. I reckon I used between a cup and a cup and a half of icing sugar to get the consistency I wanted.
Now, my mummy dearest gave me a very nice piping bag set for Christmas so I set about using it. Normally I’d just blob the icing ontop of cake of choice, spread it about a bit and add sprinkles. It looks pretty good and it all tastes the same. But I went chefy on these babies hence why you’ve got a photo of one of’em. It’s the only one where the piping really properly worked!
But the finished product was a nice, fudgey muffin with a light, sweet, chocolatey frosting with chocolately sprinkles. Num Num Num.
Ann Mayburn -Don’t let BDSM Intimidate you.
posted in Blog | Tagged: Ann Mayburn, Blog Tour, don't let BDSM intimidate you, Lucy Felthouse, sensation play, Writer marketing
To those unfamiliar with the BDSM lifestyle the first mention of those four letters brings to mind some guy beating the crap out of a woman or some man hating woman beating the crap out of a guy. While I’m sure that happens, it is so far from what the norm is in BDSM lifestyle that most practitioners laugh about it. Any asshole with a baseball bat can cause pain, that doesn’t make them a Dom(Dominant/Master/Mistress).
In my short story, Sensation Play, I feature one of the gentler sides of BDSM, in this case, sensation play. ;) This type of fun involves invoking different types of sensations in your partner and making them highly attuned to both their body and what you are doing to them. Think silk scarves, feathers, ice, heat, etc. In my short story the leading man, Jonas, is a master of sensual torture and uses his skill to arouse and please Erica, a woman he’s been wanting to date for months. Here is ze blurb to get you a better idea of the story:
Erica Alman is sick of her overprotective older brother’s ruining her love life, especially after they chased away that amazing mystery man that she had danced with a the charity ball six months ago. With the help of her best friend, she signs up with the 1 Night Stand dating service. Her request is simple. She wants a dangerous, rough man to fake break into her hotel room at the Castillo resort and force her to have multiple orgasms. Oh, and she wants the man to be big, bald, and have a German accent, just like Jonas.
Using every ounce of his skill as an experienced Dom, Jonas hopes to win Erica over before the night ends. He can only hope that the pleasure he can bring her would make the beautiful woman look past his scarred and battered exterior to the man within who can give her sensations like no other.
Let me say right now that I’m not one of those people that put hard rules and regulations on what I deem BDSM to be. For some people having their husband spank them on the bottom with a wooden spoon counts as extreme play, for others it would be foreplay. You are the only person inside of your head(hopefully) and only you can judge what is right for both yourself and your partner. I hope you’ll give my story a try, and more than that, I hope that you’ll consider incorporating a bit of sensation play into your own bedroom skills. Trust me, the orgasms are totally worth the initial embarrassment of walking into your bedroom with some velvet ropes and a glass of ice. ;)

From a young age she’s been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she’s never looked back.
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her ‘sexy space’ and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.
