1. The Destroyers by Christopher Bollen<\/b>
\n\u201cOn the stone porch, in the hot, mountain air, we grapple with our clothing, which, in the darkness, becomes as complicated as mountaineering gear. Her black shirt around her neck, mine unbuttoned, our shorts and underwear slid to our ankles, we seem to be moving at avalanche speed and also, unfortunately, with avalanche precision.\u201d Yes, sex is exactly like…an avalanche?<\/p>\n

2. Mother of Darkness by Venetia Welby<\/b>
\n\u201cLight filters in from the ravaging streaks of the dawn. It splits into fragments of every hue the world has hidden as it strikes the prism of their shelter. Tera\u2019s eyes expand and reflect, crystal orbs of time and space. She moans in colours as he pushes the white dress away and beyond the angelic flesh, luminescent against the damp, mossy bed.\u201d Wow\u2014other-worlderly. In a bad way.<\/p>\n

3. The Future Won\u2019t Be Long by Jarett Kobek<\/b>
\n\u201cWe made love and we had sex and we had sex and we made love. But reader, again, I implore. Mistake me not. I am not your Pollyanna, I am not your sweet princess. We fucked, we fucked, we fucked, we fucked, we fucked, we fucked.\u201d Just. Wow.<\/p>\n

4. War Cry by Wilbur Smith (with David Churchill)<\/b>
\n\u201c\u2018I\u2019m going to have you now,\u2019 Leon said. He led her back up the beach to where the sand was dry. Then he took off his coat, placed it on the ground and she lay down upon it. \u2018Christ!\u2019 he muttered, placing himself on top of her. \u2018It\u2019s bloody cold. I might get frostbite on my cock.\u2019\u201d She gave a low purring laugh. \u2018Silly man. Why don\u2019t you put it somewhere hot?’\u201d Definitely not<\/i> hot.<\/p>\n
