M.P. Clifton continues to expand the Adventurous Collection of erotic short stories with four new tales contained in Volume Nine: Adventurous Youth. Each of the stories recounts the sexual explorations of people in their late teens or early twenties. Some of these adventures begin and end in the carefree days of young adulthood. Others conclude decades later when those involved reconnect in the most intimate ways.
Strawberry - Barb invites her university roommate Carla for a two week stay on Maui. On their first morning in the tropical paradise, a minor accident presents a situation neither anticipated. Acknowledging the underlying sexual tension, Barb and Carla pursue desires that add a whole new aspect to their friendship.
Wedding - Nearing the half century mark, Jenny reunites with Daniel, at the wedding of a relative. Despite the decades and distance, they quickly recapture the easy essence of their young adult relationship. When Daniel cautiously recounts a treasured memory from all those years before, it stirs something deep inside Jenny. They must decide to simply relish the distant memory or finish what they started.
Teacher - Glenda and Sal have not seen one other for nearly a decade. During that time, both lost someone they loved and now they recognize they still need each otherβs support. The exchange of modest, yet poignant gifts reveals just how deep their connection is and brings them back to a time when life was simpler. They reconnect and in doing so, attempt to recreate the moment they shared one summer day.
Thumb Drive - As Marla prepares to transfer a file for fellow grad student Leslie, she and her friend are confronted by graphic images created by Marlaβs boyfriend. Clearly not intended for them, Marla is shocked and embarrassed, but Leslie sees the humor - and sexier side of the manipulated photos. Wanting to teach Kent a lesson, Marla and Leslie construct a plan of retribution he will not expect and likely never forget. What ensues surprises and satisfies both women.
