Holiday Cheer & Life-Altering Goodness

a. eve — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:53:07 +0000

Tis the season … no matter what you celebrate, or if you celebrate anything at all. About this time tomorrow morning, I’ll be at the airport, aboard a plane, embarking on a delectable trip that will tilt the axis of my world. Since I don’t know just when I’ll make it back to my keyboard,

Review: LELO Tiani

a. eve — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:28:56 +0000

The LELO Tiani is one of three new products in the second generation of LELO’s Insignia Line. Tiani features SenseMotion™ technology, for what is advertised as a wireless couples’ pleasure experience, unlike anything that has previously existed.

While there is no doubt that Tiani is an adorable, flexible and sweet little toy [...]

One Stolen Breath at a Time

His fingers wound round and round in my hair, as if it were not my hair but rather a wind-up key of a handcrafted toy from the highest shelf. He wound me to him, and he wound me around him, and my essence rose from the core of me. There was nothing else. Felt-sense led [...]

Dream in the Key of Adrenaline

a. eve — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 02:09:12 +0000

Everything is shifting, tumbling into a tapestry more beautiful than I could have woven at my own hand. There is tumult with the change, a loss of footing, but not a negation of self. It seems beyond what I can articulate, beyond what is appropriate for the content of a blog, a journal entry, a [...]

Confidant.

“Aisling Veritas, darling,” I say, running the back of my hand across the soft skin of her high cheekbone. “Have you ever been disrespected in chambers?” She laughed like a mockingbird. Sweet song notes floating into the ether. “In chambers, Sephedrie?” My cheeks turn beet. “Yes,” I whispered, leaning into her hair, absorbing her scent. [...]

Espresso Beans & The Great Name Debate

a. eve — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:05:56 +0000

There’s a lot in this world that can keep a girl going. Love, friendship, random conversations in the middle of the night, sunshine on a brisk day, sweet pick-me-ups, and espresso beans. Yes, espresso beans. They’re a mean addiction—an upgrade from coffee—especially the ones coated in decadent dark chocolate. I shouldn’t let myself have them, [...]

Absence of Trigger Warnings: Say What?

a. eve — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:41:44 +0000

Most of us are aware of trigger warnings we see on the interwebz prefacing stories which may contain information, details, or graphic descriptions disturbing to those who are particularly sensitive (whether due to trauma, or otherwise).

Occasionally, I even see these warnings in print novels. However, I’ve yet to run into a movie—I’m talking mainstream [...]

Sleepy day, Sleepy girly

a. eve — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:31:14 +0000

Today is a sleepy day. I haven’t resorted to my mint chocolate espresso beans yet, but I’m making no promises! Only three hours of sleep, but a full heart brimming over with gratitude and goodness—not so bad as a pair.

Snippets of erotica are running rampant in my monkey mind, along with an ever-growing [...]

The Surge. The Panic. The Rush.

a. eve — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 06:14:35 +0000

It surges through me, electricity giving voice to my yearning. I feel in the grip of you, but really I am in the grip of this beast called love. It holds me close, and forces me into the moment. Again. Again.

My past surfaces, my traps, my fears, and sometimes I fall hard into the [...]

Sex Toy Sales On the Rise Despite Struggling Economy

a. eve — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 03:42:58 +0000

Included in the list of products that have seen increased sales since the economy tanked are chocolate, firearms, antidepressants and sex toys. Although you might expect to find at least a few of the former three in any household suffering under this 9% unemployment rate, the last item on the list could catch some consumers [...]
