BLURB:
A
sexually open-minded couple, Lester and Val, have recently moved into a stylish
yet eerie apartment building.
Val's
curiosity is piqued when she starts to receive unusual messages and requests
from an anonymous messenger.
Lester
is also cautiously intrigued, as Val starts to fulfill the requests.
A
suspected sex club soon becomes media headlines when a former member
disappears, and the club is reported to have vacated its last premises.
Excerpt:
She sat on
the couch and stared across the room. Three men sitting opposite watched her
closely. Seemingly daring each other to make the first move. None of them
summoned the courage. It was understandable. Her beauty was unsettling.
The kind
you’d see in a dream. She had a fixed distant stare. She held her space well.
Her presence was elusive. Intimidating. You couldn’t quite describe it.
Couldn’t be entirely sure about her. She had a nervousness that made her
approachable, but then a look in her eye stopped you cold.
Seated
nearby, a bespectacled man also watched the woman.
her husband
Couples and
singles moved about the party – chatting, flirting, but this man just sat
watching her, pretending not to. If you paid attention long enough, you
realised the woman was completely aware he was watching.
maybe he is
just her boyfriend
they did
arrive at the party together, didn’t they
One of the
men whispered to the others that he had seen them at a previous party. That
they didn’t ‘play’ on that occasion either.
maybe they
were just friends
If the man
was her partner and approaching her led to some kind of confrontation, he
looked easy enough to handle.
there’s three
of us..
But the man
watching had a fastidious, aggressive quality that was strangely unsettling.
Had a striking face. Was well-groomed and gym fit.
As
the messages persist, Lester and Val start to question whether the anonymous
messenger is connected to the clandestine club mentioned in the media, and if
there is any link between him or the club and the odd newcomers in the
apartment next door.
