From the Inside Flap:
Introduction: Beggars and Choosers
Judging from the title Begging for It, you might picture women with their tongues hanging out, perhaps a little drool pooling on their lips, come-hither eyes, kneeling, breasts thrust forward, ripe and ready and eager. And you'd be right--but not entirely right.
The women you'll meet in this book manage to beg in all sorts of ways--boldly, silently, sweetly, submissively, nastily, hungrily. Sometimes, their begging is quiet ardent, clear as a whistle, but other times, they may not even know what it is they're begging for. Each of them, though, is on a journey, a path to find something that's missing from her life at the start. Some are searching for a lover--or more than one--while others have a partner in lust but are still seeking a bit of magic, daring, adventure, to lure them somewhere they've been longing--begging--to go, if only in their dreams.
For this anthology, I wanted stories that spoke to the many ways fantasies can play out in our lives. I wanted femme fatales and shy, unsure women, those who have glimpsed their truest desires briefly but have yet to fully indulge them. I wanted the kind of women whose sexual energy radiates off of them, the kind who turn heads no matter what they're doing, the kind who look just-been-fucked--or just-fucked-someone--whether they actually have or not.
What I got were women who do indeed know what they want, whether it's rope bondage or humiliation, a corset or an erotic adventure, robots or rough sex, but who are also open to finding unexpected, incredible pleasure they could not have imagined. They're women on a mission, but they never know where exactly those missions will lead, and to me, that's the best part of sex, and erotica: that each time might wow us anew. When Lauren Marie Fleming writes, "I was wet, so wet I thought I'd drip on the floor, and my nipples were as hard as my clit, both threatening to make me come with the slightest touch," I'm right there with her, as Tabitha discovers what suspension can truly do for her, not to mention sexy Caleb.
These lusty ladies fall for cowboys, bosses, drag queens, rope wranglers, threesomes, Sirs and strangers, yet they never lose sight of that inner spark that has pushed them to say yes. In giving themselves to the objects of their affection, they're gaining something equally valuable. Sometimes, there's a different kind of give and take involved, such as with the masseuse in D. L. King's "A Proven Therapeutic Fact," who makes the delivery of a spanking a very special event.
These women are both begging and demanding, but most importantly, discovering the thrill of the unexpected. They are all sexual adventurers daring to go where they've never been before, or have only been in their dreams.
