Life, After

I’m not certain if Bothered Stories deliberately did it as calendar-related pun, but this past Easter Sunday, my story about a woman who’s returned to life – and is trying to return to physical pleasure – went live on the site!  If you like to get a little existential in your erotica and love a […]
