Thanks for the encouragement, my outrageously sexy Lush-pals. Here's hoping the story will reap substantial rewards for both me and Lush Publishing. Yes, Nicola, it is a bit of a departure from my usual style, but a refreshingly direct and raunchy departure I hope.

Jake.

Many thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I'm - what's the word? - stoked to have The Jared Effect published by Lush. I think it's hot horny fun for fun's sake and hope that Lush and I sell a million copies. Well if E. L. bloody James can do it...

Spritely Rach - Happy Feckin' Birthday!!!!!!!!!

Good work, Alan. Always healthy to laugh at our own pain...

Happy Birthday, Gem!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're having a great day.

The masturbation scene(s) in The Secretary - James Spader while looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal's ass, then her alone in the toilet cubicle after. Sensationally hot.

Not where I work. That would just be a BAAAAAAAD idea.

Got to second Dancing Doll's 'Casting Couch' recommendation. Mia_Erotica is a favourite writer of mine. Deserves way more exposure here on Lush. Can't find it right now, so here's her link to another, equally good:

Dawn is breaking on Day Nine of the London 2012 Olympic Games, which means round seven of the unofficial night sports is drawing to a sticky, panting conclusion. It’s almost a week since over ten thousand of the world’s top athletes poured into London’s Olympic stadium on a tide of hope, hype and hunger for gold. But we all know there are less noble appetites to be sated, don’t we? We...

“Are we nearly there yet? This doesn’t look anywhere classy.” Clarissa tried to keep the petulance out of her voice. She knew she should be flattered by the stretch-limo and the Dom Perignon, glass number three of which was fizzing its way down her throat, but why the hell were they driving about dingy back-streets? “Relax,” her companion said. “Shoreditch is the new Soho. Home to all...

Co-written by Jaymal and Black Velvet “You are not going back to that woman's house.” The statement came apropos of nothing over breakfast. Brandon paused, a forkful of scrambled eggs halfway to his mouth. “Mom ...” “Don't go thinking it. I can see you are and you're forbidden.” “Mom, I wasn't thinking anything.” “I’m not having her open the door to me again dressed like that...

The following story is co-written by me and Lush's hugely talented Black Velvet. She seized hold of this fantasy with relish and helped bring part one to an explosive conclusion. I look forward to concluding the story with her in Part Two... Brandon was struggling with preparation for his math paper when mention of his name floated up from downstairs. “No, I’m sorry, he’s too busy...

The first shot struck Jennifer under the chin. That one came from Lawrence. She was still yelping when Trent’s delivery took her full in the face, filling her mouth and blinding her in an explosion of thick white. She spat and wiped her eyes clear, then pursued her boyfriend, scooping snow as she ran. Trent taunted as he fled, but stumbled knee-deep in a drift. “Bastard!” She laughed as...

In her bedroom Neely had done the low-budget equivalent of lowering the lights. Two small lamps were burning, from bookcase and bedside-table respectively, and both dresser and headboard had been decked out with a string of multi-coloured Christmas bulbs. Neely leaned in to the mirror, swaying her hips gently as Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie poured smoothly from her amped-up i-pod. Her dance...

Extract from ‘Don’t Write Off Religion Just Yet’, a newspaper feature by Raymond Archer. We secularists use caricature to dismiss modern faith. We’ve got our list of favourites. The frothing fundamentalists, pronouncing fatwahs and shooting abortionists. The pious traditionalists, mouldering in a cloud of incense and liturgy. The grating charismatics, happy-clapping their way through...

“On behalf of my wife and myself…” It was a traditional opening gambit for a groom’s wedding speech and it caused everyone, Rachel included, to laugh and applaud. Reece could carry off even the corniest of lines with grace and charm. “I’d like to thank you all for being here to celebrate our special day,” he said, concluding the sentiment and drawing out another appreciative murmur....

The moment extended just long enough for the sexiness of his words to penetrate her mind, then he flipped onto his back and set about getting stripped. Neely watched, her scared reverie equal to that of the night before, as he slid his footwear off and swiftly divested himself of trousers and briefs. His cock slapped firmly against his stomach as he completed the slick manoeuvre and she could...

04/07/10 12:58 GMT Well Carlotta – It seems my strategy is about to pay handsome dividends. You may have to make good on every rash promise you’ve made, come Monday 12th. I have before me a text message from the divine Miss J, suggesting an impromptu supper date at my apartment this evening. My lovely Neely has been strangely moved by our recent interaction and desires, I suspect, to...
