My Secret Hobby: The First Collection / My Secret Hobby (ePub)

This is a collection of all five books in the My Secret Hobby series consisting of: Something Special, Test Driving Crystal, Dinner For Four, Recruiting Raelene, and Are We Going To Do That?!

Sarah seduces Mark at the swimming pool and takes him back to her apartment, seemingly unconcerned that her husband will catch them, and gets more than she bargained for. Tessa finally gets some alone time with her boy friend, unawares that their most intimate romantic moments are being watched - and critiqued! Presley and Ginger become professional escorts and join The Agency but quickly find themselves in hot water and need to figure out how to save themselves without having to sleep with the owner.

When Crystal and her best friend Anika join The Agency, Crystal gets sent to Mark for her test drive and needs to quickly decide if she's willing to do whatever it takes to be a success in the Hobby. With successful test drives under their belts, the two ladies become superstars in the Community and decide to treat Mark and Muffin to a special after-dinner game behind closed doors where winner takes all.

Waitress Raelene gets the 411 on the Hobby from Anika, who has secretly arranged for her to get test driven by Muffin that very same night. She's a novice but with Anika's help discovers she has the skills to keep Muffin satisfied.

Crystal is Mark's all time favorite, but there's one thing that they haven't done. Crystal trusts Mark and is more comfortable with him than she's every been with a man, so she figures, 'Why not?' But will she regret her decision?

Here's an (edited) excerpt from the story Test Driving Crystal:

"So I hear that French women are very romantic. Is that true?" he asks, with an inquiring look in his eye.

"Maybe. It depends on who the guy is. Do you want to find out?" Despite myself I laugh and feel almost giddy after just one drink from his glass. Any nervousness I had is long gone. Am I really going to get paid for being with a guy that I only just met ten minutes ago?

I take the hand he offers me and stand from the sofa. "Let's go into the bedroom," he says and holds my hand as he leads me down the hall. This I can definitely handle, no problemo.

I know I'm here for what they call a 'test drive' so maybe he needs a good look at my body, to see if I have any tattoos or piercings or marks? I wonder if these guys complete some kind of written report after we finish?

I look around and see that his bedroom is actually quite nice. There's a king-size bed with four huge pillows and a really comfy looking duvet on it, a wooden armoire across from the foot of the bed, a chest of drawers on one side of the bed, near a window that I can see looks out to the swimming pool. On the other side of the bed there's a chair next to a full-length mirror that faces the bed.

He hasn't told me what to do yet, so I just stand there with my hands at my side and watch him, curious to see what he has in store for me. Whatever it is I'm sure I can take it. I hope.

There are about a dozen candles throughout the bedroom, some white and some red, and when he finishes lighting them he sets the matches on the night stand and sits down in the chair next to the mirror. He sees that I am there standing at attention, waiting for direction, and he smiles.

"Go stand over there, Crystal," he points to the foot of the bed, about four feet from where he is sitting. I do as he instructs and stand obediently with my arms straight and relaxed and my hands folded in front of me. It's weird, but I actually like it!
