Blurb:
A romantic, erotic tale of a vivid
portrayal of the quest for the inner truth, empowerment and sexual liberation
of Selene, a woman searching for primeval abandon and reckless adventure.
Intelligent, a university graduate and a successful careerist, Selene became
emotionally scarred by unhappy relationships. Riled and taunted through the
years by her former college roommate Janice, Selene gave in to the long-term
desire to ‘get one back’ at Janice by having a passionate holiday encounter.
Excerpt:
Here she was on a beach, pure
and simple. Now the sea breathed heavily, whispering and murmuring to her. It
was returning her, stare speaking to her. It was the spirit of love beckoning
her with a pulsing, sinewy body. In all its lines, shades, and fleeting forms,
Selene saw the essence of pure beauty, all grace of form, flesh, limb and
feature. It was in one all the lovers of whom she could possibly dream,
conflated into one elemental ideal. He, pure love in soul, bade her to enter
his domain and make it hers. His arms moved her hands to unclasp, unbutton, and
unzip…the blossom emerged. The sun became the eye of all that was not earth,
and Selene loved fully, though the pallor of her skin left her momentarily
abashed.
At first she lay in the tide's
path, the top of her head at its most extreme mark. The sand bank made a soft
bed. The sea lover smoothly caressed her calves, thighs, hips, breasts,
shoulders and cheeks before retreating to pause in his mossy pinnacles. Three
times this action was repeated, and then Selene stood up, wading in with arms
outstretched. Her arms were linked as she stood up to her neck in the saline
flow. The balls and heels of her feet wobbled, slithering on the moss. With the
next wave, she lost her balance--her breath heaved in unison with the hissing
around her. She threw her head back once again horizontal, and launched into a
backstroke, sweeping and circling. She parted her legs wide with each thrust of
motion, each sweep of self-propulsion pushing out to answer the cavernous
currents of his passion. Seven circles gave her a delicious, warm bliss--then
the sea lover, well pleased, carried her back to a near-dry bed. Aching and
contented Selene dozed a while..
