Earth was hit by an asteroid, and nothing’s been the same. For Natasha MacKenzie things got a whole lot worse after her husband, Joel, died on a mission to try to salvage valuable resources. Since then she immersed herself in work, thinking her husband would be proud of her doing something that would also insure the future of civilization.
However, Joel’s best friend gives her a letter written by Joel that he’d decided to keep until he felt she was up to reading it.
In it Joel reminds her of his love for her, and has included a gift disk to a virtual reality company called Private Pleasures. They’d often joked about being rich enough to use their services, and now Joel’s insurance money enables her to do just that. He wants her to live out her wildest sexual fantasy, and at the end of the journey, there’s a special surprise awaiting her.
This book got some great feedback. It was my first title delving into the sci fi erotica sub genre and I feel it's one that's gaining populartity so I'd love to see it translated into more languages.
I fingered the envelope in my pocket. It was something that should be opened and read in private, but I was curious as to what Joel had left for me. I reached for it, pulled it out just a tad and was about to tear it open, but stopped myself. I needed to be in our home, a place where I had memories of him so I felt his warmth surrounding me when I read the words.
The man who’d bought me the ride stood when the train approached the first stop. He saluted me just before he got off, and I waved to him as it pulled away.
We went into a tunnel, causing the train’s light to snap on. It rocked along. I was ten minutes from home. Ten minutes to knowing what was inside the envelope.
