A Note from Miss Kelley

I see many books about sex; many books about food.  Why can’t I have both in one book and be happy?

Food and sex.  They are an essential part of life right behind air to breathe, money to spend and a place to live.

Many foods are considered aphrodisiacs and they are praised for their ability to boost libido.  Whether it’s just the placebo response or it really does have that effect on one’s body, I think there’s no harm in trying them out.  Inside and outside the bedroom.  Either way, they are nutritious and good nutrition is always crucial to keeping the body going in the right direction.

Here are just a few foods to try out!  I don’t want to spend too much time writing on a scientific level.  But I thought just a few ideas would be sufficient.  

Chocolate.
  Containing serotonin, the pleasant effects of this wondrous little bean has been touted for many, many years.  Casanova himself used it every day.  We all know the story of Casanova.  People, mostly women, have sworn by it.  I am inclined to believe it.  Not only is the darker variety heart healthy, it is said that the ingredients hit the pleasure center of the brain.  The exact same place where orgasms come about and love happens.  I’m not saying to replace sex with chocolate.  But why not use both at the same time?  Imagine a double dose of pleasure if you’re with the right lover.  Chocolate on your tongue and his mouth on your body.  Mmmmm, gives me the good shivers.
♥ 

Bananas.
  I think the biggest reason it is said it’s a pleasurable fruit is because of the phallic shape.  A man watching a woman put a banana in her mouth, especially if she’s purposely wrapping her lips around it, imitating much more pleasurable act, is probably a crotch tightening experience.  Might as well get a dose of potassium while you’re at it. 

Asparagus.
  Also phallic shaped, probably gets the same response but I wouldn’t suggest using it as it might have an affect on your body’s water works.  If it doesn’t bother you, go for it. This vegetable can help with your estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.  Not to mention it helps with a woman’s lubrication and stimulates clitoral swelling.  Good-bye K-Y!!  

Hot Peppers.
  The chemical, capsaicin, stimulates your nerve endings and increases circulation.  That means blood can pump more easily into places that are important in the moment. ;) ;).

Avocado.
  Has the same effect as asparagus but without the negative effect on the body.  Plus, it has a dose of healthy fat.

Almonds.
  While it’s loaded with Vitamin E, the aroma of toasted almonds is said to rouse desire and passion in women.  So, don’t feel guilty about grabbing another coconut-y, almond chocolate bar.

Oysters.
  This is the most talked about aphrodisiac for men.  The zinc is said to raise sperm and testosterone production.  Since it also has Omega-3, it helps with depression and just makes you feel good.   

Pomegranate Juice.
  Researchers are calling this the ‘liquid Viagra’.  I can get behind this.  Men get a lift without any of the dangerous side effects of the little blue pill.  Since women can’t take Viagra, pomegranate juice works for both sexes.  Hello, you ruby gems of passion provoking nectar!

As far as scents go, everyone reacts to smells differently.  Where one scent might seem erotic to one, another might turn their nose up at.  I have a few scents and aromas that work for me but mix up your own that works for you.

Vanilla:
  I may love eating chocolate but the smell of vanilla is just divine.  It’s warm and sensual yet not overpowering.  It’s a very arousing scent and you can find vanilla scented……..anything these days.

Sandalwood:
  This is more of a male’s preference.  It’s very earthy and you don’t need much of it to do the job.

Creamy Vanilla/Sandalwood:
  This is, by far, my favorite scent.  Mixed together, this scent is warm, arousing, bold and earthy.  I find the best way to enjoy it is through warming oil.  You can find an array of soap stones, tea light candles and these essences at any department store or online.  This scent even comes in body lotion. YES!!  I highly suggest trying this one.  When I smell this throughout my home, it not only gives me a feeling of peace but it can nudge your libido in the right direction.  I find this smell very intoxicating.  If passion had a scent, creamy vanilla/sandalwood would be it.  In one word: Sensual.  Talk about enticing the opposite sex.

But I also like the simple things, as well.  I love waking up to the scent of brewing coffee, bacon frying and fresh cinnamon rolls right out of the oven.  That can really get my day going.  In more ways than one.

People’s tastes differ greatly.  Find what works for you and run with it. ☺

I know there are more foods and scents that make you feel frisky.  Maybe the foods and smells I mentioned might work.  Then again, maybe not.  I guess it depends a lot on just how much you want it to work for you.  It certainly doesn’t hurt to try and see.

But, I think nothing works as well as being with the one you love and trust.  Foods and smells are just icing on the cake.  Love is the true aphrodisiac.

No matter what you try, please remember that safe sex is better sex.  But there’s nothing wrong with adventure.

As I sit here to write this story, one song kept playing over and over in my mind.  If you like Duran Duran’s ‘Come Undone’, please play this if you would like while you read their complete love making section.  It’s entirely up to you.

So join Victoria and Dalton on their culinary erotic journey.

Chapter One

     Oh, not a-freaking-gain!
 

     Of all the rotten, stinking luck.  Now what was she supposed to do?  Snap her fingers and expect her supplies to just magically appear on her desk?

     Victoria Bradley paced her office frantically, hoping she didn’t wear down the new carpeting she had just installed.  She absent-mindedly put a fingernail in her mouth and chewed until she realized that she was, yet again, biting her nails.  She quickly withdrew her finger, berating herself.  Hadn’t she kicked that habit long ago?  Why were bad habits so hard to break?  She knew they were bad and it frustrated her when she gave in.

     Yes, she got frazzled but in the catering business, delays and screw ups were to be expected.  She would eventually get a hold of herself and figure out a plan of action. 

    
Don’t I always?

    
Victoria hadn’t long opened up her new bakery, ‘The SweetTooth’.  It had been an instant success.  She had orders pouring in from not only the bustling city of Birmingham but other surrounding cities, as well.  People all over the Magic City seemed addicted to her unique confections and they started to frequent her store.

     She was immensely proud of her accomplishments.  She had worked so very hard to get to where she was today.  She did it all without mommy or daddy’s money.

    
So there,
she mentally thumbed her nose at them.

     Sometimes coming from a very wealthy family wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.  Unfortunately, her parents thought that money gave them the right to look down on people less fortunate than themselves.

     Well, that excluded almost everybody known to man.

     The ‘needy ones’, her mother called them. In her eyes, if they weren’t born with money, they were pretty much worthless.

     Her mom’s screwed up philosophy sucked.  The thought of it made Victoria roll her eyes and sigh heavenward.

     Victoria couldn’t count the number of times her mother had set her up with doctors, lawyers, CEO’s and other men with high paying occupations.  In other words, men who were on the same level as her mom.  All of them proved to be equally boorish.

     They were so conceited.  All they could do was drone on and on about themselves; their money; their success.

     Blah.  Blah.  Blah.  That’s all Victoria could comprehend from these ‘clones’.

     She cringed every time she thought of the sex.  She could just barely tolerate the one doctor.  She was truly surprised she didn’t fall asleep during the whole debacle.

     Not that she was a snob or cruel but, honestly, some men didn’t know how to touch a woman or please them.  It’s as if some men needed a step-by-step manual to know how things worked.  Even then, they ended up as robotic C3PO.

     Who was she kidding?  She needed some spice.  That man-on-top crap went out with the burning of the bras.  She liked to take some control.  Get a little wild every now and again. 

     She knew that some people would consider themselves lucky just to be having sex but she was picky.  She wanted a hot and sexy man to play out her fantasies with her.  Heat things up.  She had silk scarves practically begging to be used on a man’s wrists and a blindfold over his eyes.  Her furry black handcuffs were probably rusted shut by now.  Along with something else that hadn’t got any use in ages. 

     What was wrong with using whipped cream and chocolates?  Shoot, even she could find something sexy to do with a fruit roll up.  There were a lot of foods considered to be aphrodisiacs.  To bad they were usually neglected.

     Her vibrator was practically worn out.  Just how many batteries did a desperate woman need to go through for some pleasure?  It sure didn’t beat the flesh and blood version, of course.

     Victoria ran a frustrated hand through her soft black hair.  This train of thought was not going to get any work done. 

     “Okay, Bradley,” she scolded herself.  “Back to work.”    

     She had to figure out how she was going to cater the Bloomberg’s party of two-hundred and fifty guests.  They were paying an incredible amount of money for her extraordinary confections.  This party was going to be the most extravagant affair to date.  And she was to make a large sum of money for doing it.  After all, the Bloomberg’s were known for their wealth.

    
And for their exceptional taste in caterers. 
She groaned.  She’d really hate to disappoint them.  Even with all their immense wealth, they were not snobs by any means.  They were quite friendly, with a ready smile or a joke to brighten your day. 

     Surprising, given the background of her mother’s snootiness.

     Victoria let out a pent up sigh.  When she had called Hughes’ Catering Supplies, Inc., they had the gall to tell her that they would be a few days later than expected. 

     She needed those supplies yesterday, as the saying went.
