Back Again — M.L. Ray

Life has not treated Professor Wainright Chance very kindly since the split from his wife of seven years, archaeologist Sophie Chance, some twelve months ago. Feeling humiliated and demeaned by the breakup -- she had flown off to parts unknown with a handsome young lover -- and in need of female companionship to rebuild his ego, Wain spends quite some time indulging in a wild affair with neighbor Theodosia Stoner. But Wain has become like the proverbial kid in a candy store. No matter what Theo offers as enticements in the bedroom, no matter how far she is willing to go to keep him satisfied, he insists upon wanting more. And more. It isn't until he has finally crossed the line with erotic demands beyond even her own unorthodox limit that Theo decides “Enough is enough!” and kicks him out of her house. After a few unrewarding assignations, but growing desperate, Wain accidentally discovers the scintillating (if quite expensive) and adventurous (if slightly dangerous) world of an underground sex club. Spiraling ever downward into a realm he had never expected to explore, let alone get involved in, he is ready to throw everything aside -- home life, friends, career -- simply to hustle up the thrills he is seeking. It will take determination, love, and support from those he cast aside to save him from himself. That is, if he is even worthy of being saved.
