With everyone trying to be safe, we are all spending much more time in the house, just full of boredom and stress. And that combo can make you do some insane things. Have you seen the internet lately? I’m looking at you TikTok. So, instead of giving yourself bangs or attempting to teach your dog to spell, why not take a little “me time”? or, if you are quarantined with your partner, a little “us time”? Maybe take this time to become a multi-tasking pleasure reader with this free erotica. Let these sultry works of hot literary fiction invigorate you and these toy suggestions inspire you. Normally I would just give you 1 arousing read. However, since we all seem to have lots of time on our hands, I figured, ‘why not give you 4?’.
1. Wired by Evelyn Adams

Now that he’s seen her, Luke can’t get the fiery auburn-haired contractor out of his mind. Sparks fly every time they’re together, and it’s becoming a distraction. One neither of them can afford. The only way for Luke to get his focus back is to get Claire into his bed – to feed the passion until he burns her out if his system. Luke’s used to getting what he wants and what he wants is Claire. But will he realize in time that she’s also what he needs? Pick-up this free e-book for a limited time on Kindle, Apple Books, Google Books or Nook.

2. Risking Trust by Adrienne Giordano

In this first installment of the action-packed and suspenseful Private Protectors series, a reignited flame might be permanently extinguished.
Michael Taylor is cooler than ice under pressure. As CEO of a private security company, his job means protecting those at risk. Clients pay top dollar for his team of special operatives to deal with threats. But now Michael’s the one in trouble—he’s the prime suspect in his ex-wife’s murder. To prove his innocence, Michael needs not just a few good men, but one smart woman. If she agrees to forgive him…
Twelve years ago, Michael walked away from Roxann Thorgesson and never looked back. Now he’s standing in her office, accused of a heinous crime, the vulnerability in his eyes barely masking something else. Desire. The shock—and her body’s own traitorous response—shakes Roxann to the core. Still, she can’t let lust cloud her professional judgment, no matter how tempting.
Michael needs her…or, rather, her newspaper to clear his name. Roxann wants to refuse, but journalistic instinct tells her there’s more to this case. Sex. Secrets. A dark and dirty cover-up leading all the way to city hall. And as the investigation brings Michael and Roxann closer together, revealing the truth threatens to rip them apart.

A bad boy. A good girl. A second chance that could send them both up in flames. Emily was a cop’s daughter, and I was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. At eighteen, our affair was wild and completely secret. Until she left town for college and a better life, and I hit the road to nowhere. Eight years later, we’re both back in town. My father is in prison; Emily is selflessly helping her sister. We should be farther apart than we’ve ever been. But I’ve never been able to resist temptation, especially when that temptation is Emily. I shouldn’t go near her. But I do. She shouldn’t say yes. But she does. Our chemistry is hotter than ever, but she’s hiding something from me. Just like I’m hiding something from her. It’s hard to tell whose secrets are more dangerous, until it all goes to hell. I can save her – and she can save me. But we’ll have to break the rules. We’re from different worlds. We don’t belong together. But in the end, Emily and I are going to have to get dirty.
