Agony/Ecstasy Anthology: Lily Daniels and Kiss of Life
The 100 anniversary of the Titanic will be upon us and there is a growing body of fiction that will be commemorating it. I am not sure if the impending anniversary spurred Lily Daniels (aka Janine from DA) to write the story, but I thought it was a timely story. The excerpt is fairly short because the story itself is explicit and not well suited to truncated excerpts. Enjoy!
“Does this satisfy you?” Hugh breathed into her ear.
….
She turned to Hugh. Martin had hurt her, and Hugh had comprehended her need to balance the scales better than she had herself. But Hugh had also brought her pain, had tormented her with pleasure. How to balance the scales withhim?
“No,” she whispered back, “I’m not satisfied.”

No actually. I needed an ocean liner disaster, or something of that nature, for the heroine’s backstory, and it so happens that the Titanic was the first of these. Because I wanted the story to take place prior to World War I, I went with the Titanic. I didn’t even think of the anniversary until after I had submitted the story. That part was pure serendipity.

It amazed me how evocatively Lily/Janine captured the period in such a short story. Also made me long for more stories set in this era. This was a very hot read, but somehow elegant as well – a pretty impressive combination to pull off!

Great work Janine. Highly erotic and yet with a full back story.
