Excerpt:
Although
I'm not a fan of the whole "meat market" that night clubs have become, I
have to admit, the views are sometimes great.
A good example would be the tight ass in leather pants shimmying out on
the dance floor, about five steps away from where I'm sitting.
My nipples tightened and my pussy clenched just looking at her.
Damn good view. Whatever it
is about women in leather that turns me on, I really don't care.
So long as women keep wearing it, I'll be happy.
Then
again, I've never been one to overanalyze much of anything that has to do with
sex. All those years of psychology
classes kind of made me afraid to get too deep into my own psyche.
So now, I settle for getting paid to delve into the deep, dark places
within the minds of others.
Speaking
of deep, dark places! Her front view
is as good as the back. Second on my
list of things I like, after leather, would have to be midriff shirts and belly
rings. If only I wasn't about
twenty years her senior, she'd be perfect for me.
She
was coming my way.
"Professor?"
Shit!
"I'm
sorry, do I know you?"
"Professor
Marcum. I'm Brittany.
I had you for Psych 101 last semester."

L is for Leather is the latest offering by Alison Tyler is her
successful line of alphabet anthologies. From the quotes before the table of
contents to the editor’s bio, this book is packed with more leather than a
vendor booth at the Folsom Street Fair. Thirteen writers explore the smell,
taste, look, and versatility of leather.
Radclyffe’s “Skin-Flick Sex” offers up a hot, tasty tale of sex in the
dark with a stranger – the holy grail of we girls who fantasize of women only
sex clubs and the dark labyrinths of anonymous sex within. Add to it a touch of
voyeurism, the threat of discovery, almost public sex, and a woman packing a
cock she knows how to use, and this story hit a lot of my hot buttons.
It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of reading one of Thomas
Roche’s stories. While doing the FedEx delivery guy/girl is a staple of office
sex fantasies, he brings so much humor to this tale in “Venus in Uniform”
that it charms instantly. His observation of how women can nice each other into
sexual catatonia is sharply delivered. Then he deftly swerves into a bit of boot
worship and what happens when girls stop playing nice, and that’s when things
get really interesting.
Through the Erotica Readers and Writer’s Association, I’ve had the
pleasure of reading Mike Kimera’s stories for years. “Other Bonds Than
Leather” is unusual in this collection in that leather doesn’t figure in the
character’s arousal or in the sex, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t belong
in this anthology. Mike’s strength has always been his characters. In this
story, a middle-aged woman meets with a man who may become her Dom and he shows
her his dungeon. Her reactions are so spot-on that I can imagine saying those
same things myself. Even though this is a dungeon scene and about power play,
the sex is gently passionate.
For the title alone, Lisette Ashton’s “Truman Capote Was Wrong” had me
wondering what it was all about. About leather, of course! How it feels against
the skin, how it smells, and how turned on this young woman gets by her movie
inspired wardrobe. She’s over her Matrix coat and is moving on to Underworld
wear. She enjoys good tailoring, and her tailor enjoys watching her enjoy his
work. I’m not much for fashion, but I’ll admit that there is something about
those kick-ass femmes in head-to-toe leather that makes even me sit up and take
notice of what they’re wearing, so this story hit a few guilty-pleasure chords
with me.
Kate Pearce’s “Sunday Service” is a bit of historical erotica. If you
like cowboys, and especially if you’ve ever looked at a saddle horn with less
than honorable intentions, this BDSM story of a widow and a ranch hand is for
you. Sommer Marsden’s “How He Likes Me” is another power-play story with a
pair of black leather gloves. In “Cleanup On Aisle Ten” by Sheri Gilmore,
leather takes the form of a dog collar and leash. Madeline Moore explores the
power of the legendary “Little Black Dress,” a wardrobe basic, but this one
is leather. In Shane Allison’s “Dangerous Comfort,” a black leather jacket
provides cover for some public indiscretion. For Michelle Houston in
“Tempted,” it’s a pair of black leather pants over a fine ass that leads
the narrator astray. I’m a bit of a boot junkie, so I could sympathize with
Jude Mason’s Max in “Those Boots” as he stands transfixed at a shop window
by a pair of especially arousing boots. In Tsaurah Litzky’s “Love Is
Long,” the narrator is out for an ego-boosting quicky, and comes away with a
newfound appreciation for leather in the form of masks. Rounding out the
anthology, editor Alison Tyler adds her take on the joy of leather in
“Hide.” The owner of a leather clothing shop in LA keeps the cheap
junk up front for the Melrose crowd, but the good stuff is in the back, waiting
for just the right customer who can appreciate it. Leather pants, leather
jackets, leather boots, leather gloves, they all come into play here as a
connoisseur of fine leather clothing meets up with a connoisseur of fine women.
Leather is a surprisingly versatile material. It can be warm; it can be cool.
Touch it, and the texture can arouse a wide variety of feelings. Wearing it can
make you feel powerful, or protected. It can be soft and comforting, or it can
de harsh and unrelenting. A leather jacket can make the wearer look both hot and
cool at the same time. It has an animal scent that makes your nostrils widen as
you draw in a deeper breath. It’s one of the few materials that we associate
with power.
These stories delve into all of those associations, and more. Not every
story in this anthology is BDSM, although many are. That’s not surprising
given how leather and kink are closely linked in our psyches. I was pleasantly
surprised by how many lesbian stories there were. If you’re not into power
play or lesbian tales, I’d still recommend you give this anthology a chance
simply for the level of writing.
