An Unexpected Entry

Here it is, then! An Unexpected Entry a.k.a. Episode Five of Indecent Descent. I've given it a separate introduction so it should be readable as a standalone even if you haven't read Indecent Descent. That's the theory, anyway. It's about the same length as each of the previous individual episodes - just over 34,000 words - so it's not really a short story.

I've put it up to read online already. You can find it here or here and it will be going live on Smashwords very soon, for those who prefer a proper eBook to read.

Here's the back cover blurb.

Bethan’s back from her first term away at uni; freshly-pierced, freshly-tattooed and now, it seems… freshly-bisexual. And what better way to shock everyone back home than showing off her sassy, rebellious, dreadlocked new girlfriend Emily? But when they visit her old school friend Jadie, it’s Bethan and Emily who’ll get a shock. And Jim might just have something to do with that…

Jim’s had his ups and downs in life; a parent at sixteen, an orphan at eighteen and a widower at twenty-four. Now, at thirty-five, he’s a proud father, a successful businessman and a trusted neighbour. That last one might not be for much longer, mind. Something to do with his, ahem, unusual relationship with the girl next door.

That would be Jadie. She’s heartbreakingly cute, disarmingly funny and fearsomely intelligent. Having grown up with internet access and all that entails, she’s also preternaturally knowledgeable – not to mention utterly uninhibited – about sex. In short, she’s the nineteen-year-old that every modern man secretly fantasises about. And Jim’s been head-over-heels in love with her since that rainy afternoon eight months ago when she ‘lost’ her house keys and ended up in his bed.

Since they’ve been together, Jim’s come to expect the unexpected. Even so, he didn’t expect to find her quite so insatiable when he went round to see her earlier on. He definitely didn’t expect Bethan and Emily to turn up and catch them, ah, in flagrante on the kitchen table. And, well, he would never in a million years have expected Jadie to invite the two girls to stay and… watch.

Is Jadie just not thinking straight because she’s horny? It wouldn’t be the first time. Or is she, once again, two steps ahead of Jim; that ferocious intellect of hers combining with her fierce love for him to take their relationship to places he could never have imagined?

Picking up where Indecent Descent left off, An Unexpected Entry tells the story – in Jim’s unique, luridly-explicit way – of another episode in his life where everyday reality and unlikely fantasy seem to have gotten mixed up. Veering unpredictably from the naively-romantic to the filthily-erotic, it’s an amusing, arousing and deliciously frustrating love story; a tale of sex and devotion in the modern, connected world where, to Jim, it seems like it can be all-too-easy to end up knowing too much.

Epilogue

The front cover image is adapted from a fantastic original work by Luca Sartoni under licence. His original was a far better composition, but I cut it down to obscure the identity of the model. It's obviously not Bethan, but cropped like that it really does look a hell of a lot like her.
