Extra Credit: A Master Class in Summer Swinging

"I was in a place I'd never been before. This wasn't a fantasy of mine in any way, shape, or form. What was happening here wasn't based on any risque daydream or unspoken nocturnal desire I'd ever had. In all my years of knowing Mrs. Kristensen in high school, I'm pretty sure I'd never looked at her in a sexual way, even for a minute.

"But was I ever looking now..."

A college student back home for the summer is forced to take on part-time babysitting jobs in order to make ends meet. But then a chance encounter with a homemade sex tape sees him caught up in the exquisitely erotic extracurricular activities of a group of his former high school teachers -- and learning a few lessons in sexuality and swinging beyond anything in his wildest dreams.

This 28,800-word humorous erotic novella is an explicit and graphically detailed story of romance and sexuality, exploring swinging, group sex, video sex, consensual teacher-and-adult-student affairs, and male and female bisexuality. It is intended for adults only.

EXCERPT (SFW)

I don't remember the walk to the hot tub on the back deck. I don't remember stripping my clothes off, but I remember that Anette helped. I helped her in turn, undoing her bra and feeling a lump in my throat as those luscious breasts were released. Her body was even more impressive in the flesh, as it were, a perfect blend of well-toned muscle and supple curves and the knowledge of what kind of action those curves had seen.

I felt her lean in to French kiss me and I almost melted on the spot. All at once, the difference in our ages, the memories of our time spent as student and teacher meant nothing. I don't know much about pheromone activity except how to spell it, but however Anette was broadcasting her sexuality that night, it was inside me and around me and wrapping me up tight.

I hit the water quickly. I'm pretty sure I saw Soren give my totally-on-display goods a quick glance, then equally sure I saw him and Anette exchange a smile. "We're glad you enjoyed yourself Wednesday night," he said as he sank below the water. "We couldn't figure out at first why you seemed nervous when you left. We didn't want you feeling like we were bothered at all by you watching."

"No," I said. "Fine. I mean, yes, thank you. Sorry."

Soren laughed. "The only thing we have to ask, of course, is a certain amount of discretion..."
