How dare you!

Dares make our heart pound with anticipation and charge our hair with electricity. Closet Desire II captures that tantalizing, pulse-quickening moment just before you leap and then pushes you over the edge without warning. These tales will threaten to stop your heart and leave you gasping for breath. Inspired by an anonymous group of writers who dare one another to spin erotic yarns, Closet Desire II carries on the tradition of Closet Desire with stories that are seductive and surprisingly human. Stories from Angela Wallis, Felecia Barbaro, Jason Charles, and others will take you where you never dared to go in a variety of ways.

Some are humorous.

Some are naughty.

Some are taboo.

Some are mystical.

All are daring.

We dare you!

Erotic passions are food for the erotic soul and best served dripping hot to your lover. Some dishes may be too spicy while others a bit bland, but here you will find a smorgasbord to satisfy any appetite. The Wedding is subtle, veiled, and mysterious like many Victorian stories. White Linen is naughty yet with an ironic twist of humour. Rue du 8 Mai 1945 is a romantic tale of fantasy fulfilled. Finally, Black Leather and Silver Chains is so extreme and shocking you may need more than a cold drink to tame the flames. All-in-all, twenty-five stories from two lovers are brought together for you to savour and share.
