and it's all it takes for her to be ready. She pulls up her skirt, pulls down her stockings and lets him bend her forward over the sink. He grabs her buttocks, moves two fingers along her labia, back and forth towards her clitoris. The sensation spreads throughout her body like fire."



When a new bar opens in her neighbourhood, she has to go there, and her passion is immediately brought back to life by a stranger in a suit. Her senses are tickled by the familiar scent of sandalwood and olive, and her world is covered in a pink haze. To go to the bar and flirt with the stranger instead of going home to her husband becomes an addiction. Katja Slonawski writes exciting and charged short stories about ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Focusing on the bubbly sensations that can only be brought to life by touch and expectation, she describes complex characters and challenges the idea of a traditional erotic short story. Katja Slonawski is an author of short stories and a word artist. She lives in the south of Sweden, but she is born and raised on the west coast, in Gothenburg.
