The Passion of Erotic Romance by @MarilynLakewood #EroticRomance The NightLife I write erotic romance, some with elements of dominance and submission. It’s fiction, and not meant to be a guide or manual, in any way whatsoever. My stories are not real life. They are about consensual fantasy situations—romantic and sexual fantasies—with sexy alpha male heroes. They are meant to be fun, an adventure and entertaining escape. isn’t just about the cuffs or floggers that increase the physical intensity of foreplay—a Dom playing with his lover can also increase the duration of foreplay. No matter what type of romance you prefer, passion is a key element. Taut sexual tension between lovers remains the gold-standard for exciting romance. Wildly romantic, right? And ultra responsible. Readers love that strung-out, wiggle in your seat, heart-pounding, breathless excitement. The hotter, the better.

Drawn out glances, touches, starts and slows, the ‘just barely’ makes everything about the dance of courtship foreplay. One of the things I love about D/s romance is the way it takes foreplay to a higher level. Foreplay on steroids. A scene between a Dom and his subbie Who doesn’t like that? And then there’s the way a Dom lavishly bestows attention on his sub before, during, and afterwards. Romance readers can find passion in many sub-genres. Fantasy romance, paranormal romance, ménage romance, sci-fi romance, western romance, and D/s romance—to name just some—and within each there are more choices. I enjoy all kinds of romance with Alpha heroes—the majority are M/f and M/f/M*, but whatever your preferences, there’s a vast spectrum of choice in erotic romance. Happy reading,
