Excerpt:
She
closed her eyes and softly banged her head against the door. If she
didn’t get the romantic ball rolling with him soon, her every
chance with him could disappear. She hated having to throw Logan in
the ring every time to get a reaction from James, but damn, how else
could she…?
Suddenly
another idea came to her.
She
opened her eyes and looked down at the package. Did she dare?
The
sounds of James moving around in the room next door cemented her
decision. Absolutely. She’d do it.
In fact,
by the time she’d washed up, unpacked the box of toys, and had
given them a thorough going over, she’d convinced herself that
James had really left her with no choice in the matter.
*
James
got into bed and was determined to push thoughts of his in-name-only
wife out of his mind. He was ready to count imaginary sheep, pennies,
bouncing balls, real balls—damn—a picture of himself stationed
quite happily between Michaela’s legs as he slammed into her over
and over materialized—no.
“Think
sheep. Count sheep. Sheep, sheep, sheep,” he whispered. Hoping to
use this power of suggestion technique to his advantage. And it was
working. He was slowly drifting off to sleep watching the…mechanical
sheep? He tried to sink deeper into oblivion by overlooking the gears
and metal parts that made the robotic animals leap effortlessly
across the starlit landscape in his mind until...
He
opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. Why was he dreaming about
mechanical—?
“Oooh…”
That
soft moan woke him right up, and when he snapped into a sitting
position he knew why he’d been dreaming about machines. Mickey had
opened her package and if he didn’t miss his guess, that was a
Hitachi humming away.

A
few of Riley’s favorite reviewer quotes:
If
you love intellectual mind candy, read Ms. Murphy’s work!
Creative,
profound and soul searing scenes abound...
One
wonders if Ms. Riley is in the sex therapy and marriage counseling
business as a day job. The D/s part of this story is Fabulous.
If
Riley wasn’t an author she’d be an international spy with
top-level security so she could have a peek at Area 51 and decide for
herself if those green guys are for real. Failing that, she’d
likely go with chicken sexer.
