The Mess You Left Behind by V.T. Do
Emery
There are some things you just don’t do, and falling for a man like Wyatt James is one of them.
The man is obviously too old for me, far too experienced, and as unattainable as the stars in the sky. Yet, I can’t stop the fluttering of excitement low in my belly every time he looks my way, or this incessant need I have to be near him.
Falling for Wyatt is easy. It’s everything that comes after that’s hard. Sometimes, the choice to stay with the man you love is out of your hands. Sometimes, the past mistakes of other people can leave an impact, even generations later. Sometimes, trying to be with the man you love can only end in heartbreak.
Sometimes, I don’t care.
Wyatt
There are very few things in my life I can’t control. Loving Emery is one of them. What started as a chance meeting turned into a defining moment I can never turn back from. There’s no denying that this tiny girl got to me in ways no one else has ever done before. Falling for her is easy. It’s trying to convince her to stay that’s hard. Sometimes, love isn’t enough. Sometimes, the past mistakes of other people can take away the one thing you cherish most. Sometimes, stories are written down to end in tragedy.
Sometimes, I don’t care.

FacebookAbout the author:
V.T. Do grew up in beautiful Colorado with words on her mind and dreams in her eyes. Writing has always been the best way for her to express herself, and she has been doing that for as long as she can remember.
When she's not writing, you can find her talking to herself, daydreaming, hunting magical creatures, and reading.
The Mess You Left Behind is her first book, and with many more coming soon!
Here is a short sample from the book:
He took a step toward me. I didn’t move back, even when everything in me told me to. Told me I would regret it if I didn’t end this. End us.
The consequences were something I couldn’t handle. He didn’t know. But I did. So I would be to blame for whatever happened between us.
“I need you to leave me alone,” I whispered. “If you love me, then let me go.”
“I can’t do that.” He took another step closer to me. And another. “I am incapable of leaving you alone,” he whispered. And then he kissed me.
He kissed me with the sort of hesitancy and excitement of a first kiss, and the exploration and intimacy of many kisses after.
Time stopped, and nothing existed but his lips on mine and my heart breaking in two.
I pushed him away, and only when I tried a third time did he relent. The tears came then, and they wouldn’t stop. I wiped the imprint of his lips on mine with the sleeve of my shirt. “I hate you,” I lied again, and for the first time, I saw his mask slip as he showed some sign of emotion.
It was brief, but it was there, and it was enough to make me truly hate myself in that moment.
I wished I had never been born.”

Color Our Second Honeymoon Erotic by Claudia Pulcher
Brand new! Now published for the first time, the story that 200,000 readers cheered-on as it posted chapter by chapter on Literotica.
“Color Our Second Honeymoon Erotic may freak out some readers, at first,” wrote one critic, “because Claudia Pulcher pulls you into wild erotic scenes of agony and ecstasy (never just one). In the end, though, this is a great love story. Leslie and Guy O’Brien are rewarded for taking crazy risks–and for their courage in casting off sexual convention–with the sexiest second honeymoon on record.”
And a reader wrote: “They do it! They do it as millions of men and women, finding themselves in once-wonderful sexual relationships that no longer make the heart race, have longed to do it: They face every fear, take every risk, to set loose their fantasies!”
Again and again, as their erotic encounters become almost surreal, like The Story of O on steroids, they ask each other where this is taking them. But they do not, or cannot, stop because all of it—the exhibitionism, the bondage, the lust unsuspected in colleagues or students or strangers, the beautiful bodies twisted in pain and equally unbearable pleasure—becomes an addiction. An addiction to living life on a level of sensuality now never absent, a sensuality that with unexpected experience takes body and imagination higher.
For the reader, Color Our Second Honeymoon Erotic is the same kind of journey as the arousal, anticipation, and sheer pace of living with Guy and Leslie and so many other red-hot characters mount chapter by chapter.
All of it comes alive with Claudia Pulcher’s exquisitely sensual style, high-definition imagination, humor, and unfailing insight into love as well as lust.
