When I’m building a science fiction world, one
of the questions I ask myself is “how can I make this different?”
I also ask myself that question when I’m
writing a sex scene. How can I make it new and fresh? What can I do that hasn’t
been done before? In most romance novels, the characters have sex in bed in the
bedroom. And, although I’ve written plenty of bedroom scenes, getting
characters out of bed and into other locations can bring interest to the sex
scene. Even something as simple as sex in an automobile. You have to account
for the tightness of the space (no pun intended), the steering wheel, the
center console, passersby, fogged windows, seats lying or not lying down, the
availability of condoms, bumped heads…you get the picture.
Put a couple in the shower and you can use the
sensations of water spray, the slipperiness of soap, the coolness or hardness
of tile to enhance your scene. They can stand, sit (on a shower bench) or
kneel.
But even the car and shower are mundane. My
characters have had sex in the kitchen (while talking on the phone), in a
swimming pool (while being observed), on the front porch, on the beach at a sex
resort, at the headquarters for a spanking society, in a tree (yes, in a tree),
in a glass (see-though) hotel, in a cave, in an observatory. Moving the sex out
of the bedroom can bring in exhibitionism, voyeurism, different sexual
positions, and danger. It also reveals
more of the characters personalities and the plot because where they choose to
have sex says a lot about who they are and what is going on in the story.
In Body Talk, which excerpts chapters from
eleven different erotic romances, the characters have sex in many different
venues. Sometimes it does occur in bed, but sometimes not. You’ll find some unique
sexual settings in Body Talk.

An excerpt from Body Talk
(Irresistible Attractions):
In this scene, Jordan is dating college student Hannah Laurie. She
works nights as a housekeeper. He takes her back to the Rod and Cane Society
mansion for a spanking session. Irresistible Attractions was a Golden Flogger award finalist for best BDSM book of the year
by the BDSM Writer’s Conference.
“If it gets too intense, you need to give me a
word, and I’ll stop and escort you to your vehicle.” Vehicle. How formal
he sounded. Their circles would never intersect again was what he meant.
“A safeword.” She nodded.
“You’re aware of safewords?”
If she confessed she’d read about them in her
e-book library of two hundred plus BDSM and spanking erotic romances, would he
view that as positive or negative? Would he worry she lacked real-life
experience to proceed? She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on
it.
“How about vacuum?” she said, and cringed.
Could she have picked a stupider word? Why remind him she was a cleaner? Why
hadn’t she chosen something like lavender? Or lingerie? Or the
tried-and-true red?
He didn’t seem to notice how dumb it was. He
was staring at her mouth.
In a flash, all hesitancy and indecision
vanished from his expression and posture, and he became dominance personified.
He straightened. His face hardened. Muscles bulged. His gaze lusted.
She peeked at his trousers. Yessss, sir!
“That will work.” He motioned. “Take off your
jeans.”
Take off— Confidence crumpled like a cellophane
wrapper at the prospect of baring her imperfect body under the harsh
fluorescents and his microscopic scrutiny. Of course, that’s how it would be.
Why hadn’t she foreseen that? It shouldn’t matter—he’d already seen her
near-naked rear end, but that had occurred under different circumstances.
Heat suffused her face, but she compressed her
lips with determination and unzipped her boots. She stumbled in tugging them
off, and he grabbed her elbow to steady her then released her when she undid
her jeans. She expected him to tower over her while she completed his
instructions, but as she fought her way out of the tight denim pants, he strode
to the wall of paddles. Her pants lay in a messy heap atop her boots—not at all
the way a cleaner should leave them, so she folded them.
She had nowhere to set the neat little pile
except the chair they’d used the last time, so she shook out her jeans and
draped them over the metal-legged spanking bench she deemed least likely to be
put into service then realized she could have put the denim on the seat and
hadn’t needed to unfold them at all. Hannah took a deep breath before she
squeaked “vacuum” and ran from the room wearing her thigh-skimming
baby-doll-style top and undies. She moved her boots next to the bench and
peeked at Jordan. He was taking a long time to pick out a paddle. Was he
nervous, too?
He unhooked a smallish leather-covered one and
then raked a steely gaze over her. Nope, didn’t seem to be. “Last chance,” he
said, and smacked the paddle against his palm.
Once again, she got the impression he was
attempting to frighten her into leaving.
She couldn’t decide whether to be pissed off—or
amused. Or flee like he goaded her to. She planted her hands on her hips. “You
don’t scare me,” said the pantless girl to the man wielding a paddle.
“Maybe I should.” He stalked toward her until
he had invaded her personal space then tucked the paddle under his arm,
captured her face between his palms, and kissed her. His mouth slid over hers,
and Hannah dissolved. She forgot to be mad, forgot to be annoyed or amused, and
melted into him, absorbing his taste and scent. Power and strength.
He claimed her, his lips demanding, his tongue
insisting. Never had simple intimacy been so all-consuming, so possessive, so
heady. This kiss would be the kiss against which all others would be
judged. The room spun like in the movies.
He set her away from him. “How about now?”
She swayed a little. “Nope.”
