Adriana Kraft is visiting today to share an endearing anecdote about people enjoying their vibrant sex drives later in life — and rightly so!

Her (their) new book, Swingers Light Up Vegas is available now on ebook.

At 90? Really?

by Adriana Kraft

In case you missed it, Movie Star Rita Moreno, 91, recently owned up on TV to becoming aroused while filming her latest movie. The scene? A men’s football locker room featuring, you guessed it, virile hunks changing clothes.

Meanwhile, I was recently chatting with a librarian friend about the erotic romance my husband and I co-author under our pen name, Adriana Kraft—at our age. My friend laughed and told me about an elderly woman who came to her library each week to request specific books. When she warned the woman how explicit one of the books was, the woman drew herself up and proclaimed, “I’m not dead yet!”

Both these women – Rita Moreno and our librarian’s patron – are three to four decades older than the happily married pair who star in our brand-new release, Swingers Light Up Vegas. Dan and Ginger have been swingers since their children grew up and left home a few years back, and they’re in Las Vegas to celebrate Ginger’s fiftieth birthday.

Swinging at 50? Feeling sexy (and desirable) at 50? Hardly a stretch of the imagination. There are lots of swingers age 50 and older. In some larger cities, there are clubs specifically by and for the older swing set, who’ve often aged out of more general lifestyle gatherings.

I think our fictional couple could easily have found such a club on their Las Vegas trip – in fact, they were referred to it by somewhat older friends back home in the Midwest. We’ve created this short story to feed reader fantasies with a taste of the swing lifestyle. If you like this teaser, we hope you’ll come back for more!

Excerpt (NSFW!)

“I hope we’re making up for Melinda and Alan having to cancel on you at the last minute.” Michael nuzzled Ginger’s ear. “I’m sure glad you guys decided to continue on to the club. Melinda texted us right after she texted you, hoping that we’d be here tonight. Perhaps it’s karma.”

“Perhaps.” Ginger glanced down at Lai’s small hand, which was lightly brushing her other thigh.

“You like?” Lai asked softly.

Ginger nodded. She squeezed Lai’s bare thigh in response. Lai wore a micro skirt which had done little to conceal a tiny bare pussy.

“You want?”

Ginger swallowed. “Oh, yeah.”

Lai moved Ginger’s fingers slightly until Ginger could touch the wetness between Lai’s thighs. “You feel me?”

Ginger nodded, unsure of the protocols at this club about intimate contact in the large meeting area and dance floor.

“Later,” Lai said, resting Ginger’s hand on her knee. “I must stay focused on your husband now.”

About the authors

Adriana Kraft is the pen name for a married pair of retired professors writing erotic romance and erotic romantic suspense together. We like to think we’ve broken the mold for staid, fusty academics, and we hope lots of former profs are enjoying life as much as we are. We believe that love is love is love, and we often feature bisexual women and ménage in our erotic romance stories. Together we have published more than fifty erotic romance novels and novellas to outstanding reviews.

During our academic careers, we lived in many states across the Midwest. We love to travel, so when we retired, we sold our house and took off in our motor home across the country. We now make our home in southern Arizona, where we enjoy hiking, golf, and travel, especially to the many Arizona Native American historical sites.

We’ve featured the swing lifestyle in a number of our erotic romance stories. We penned this short story to give readers a quick taste of swinging – erotically charged, always, and a safe place for bisexual women to express the full range of their sexuality. We’ve written an entire series of novellas set in the lifestyle, entitled Swinging Games. We hope you’ll check them out! And as always, reviews are the lifeblood of romance authors, so we hope you’ll leave one for us.
