    About this ebook

    Loosen up and awake your inner Sex Goddess...call it services to sisterhood.

    The mere thought of an all-expenses paid trip to a tropical island of sexual abandonment makes straight-laced school teacher Astrid break out in a heat rash. What fantasy is she supposed to live out, exactly? You kinda need to have them to re-enact them, right? However, she can’t really turn down a birthday present, even if her outrageous best friend would let her.

    Everything changes when she wakes up in her very own Arabian Fantasy. Prince Rashid expects her complete obedience, and Astrid can’t help but respond to the demands of the enigmatic Sheikh. Maybe it’s just the ambiance of this place but Astrid finds new strength in her submission, and the sex is out of this world.

    What happens, however, when reality beckons? Can she hold onto the fantasy?

      Services to Sisterhood, 1

      Doris O’Connor

      Chapter One

      Astrid, I am not taking no for an answer. Lynn fixed her with one of those looks, and Astrid found it hard not to squirm in her seat like a recalcitrant six-year-old. You’ve been working far too hard. You need a holiday, and I know just the place. Every woman should go at least once in her lifetime. You’ll love it, you’ll see!

      Lynn shoved the brochure across the table at her, and Astrid barely suppressed her groan of disgust. The glossy paper promised white, sandy beaches, tropical weather, one’s every whim catered to, a no-expenses-spared holiday. Too bad it gave Astrid heat rash just from the pictures.

      Not again. How can I get out of this?

      Astrid forced her lips into a semblance of a smile

      I don’t do fantasies I tell you. What on earth am I going to do there, and how could you afford it anyway?

      Lynn just laughed at her. Never you mind that. It’s all taken care of. And as for fantasies? You’ll surprise yourself, I’m sure. Look at this as education. You need to loosen up woman, discover your inner sex goddess before you turn into a shriveled up old prune.

      Heat rose in Astrid’s cheek, and she was sure the whole coffee shop stopped to look at their table. Will you keep your voice down? My sex life is none of your business.

      Sex life? Lynn didn’t temper her volume. If anything it increased in decibels, and Astrid feared for the plate glass windows. Girl, you haven’t got one, and this trip is going to change all that. No, don’t even try to wriggle out of it. It’s all arranged. Call it services to sisterhood.

      Lynn, this is insane. I can’t just take off. It’s—

      It’s half term next week, and you most certainly can just take off. I’ll feed your goldfish. I’ll even talk to him, so he doesn’t feel lonely. Lynn laughed again and shook her head at Astrid. You do realize how sad that is, right? You’re turning into the proverbial cliché. Only you’re not old, just a spinster, with a goldfish rather than a cat.

      The more Astrid protested, the louder and more insistent Lynn became, until Astrid had no choice but to agree, all too aware of the sniggering around her.

      ****

      Services to sisterhood—what a crock. She was not some sort of sex starved charity case, as Lynn must have made her out to be to get her booked on this thing. And since when was there such a charity anyway? So they booked you on this fantasy getaway to get bonked senseless and then your life would be so much better right? Right. Bull, bull, bull. And fool that she was, she was now stuck on this trip. There was no means to reach the outside world until the holiday was over, and she had presumably been shagged senseless by goodness only knew who.

      Astrid clung to the handrail a bit tighter as the speedboat rode another wave. The man in charge of this tiny contraption gave her a wide grin when she couldn’t contain
