SUMMARY: Susan defiantly accepts her lesbian friend's 
challenge: that she can make Susan come, even though Susan 
is heterosexual.

COMMENTARY: What do I like about this story? The author 
focuses first and foremost on the emotions that Susan and 
Leslie, her lesbian friend, are experiencing. [Leslie? 
Lesbian? Hmmm?] The author does devote some time to 
describing exactly what they are doing, but in my opinion 
this was not *the* focus of the story. However, getting back 
to Susan's emotional state as described by the author, it 
isn't just the fact that the author devotes a significant 
portion of the story to *showing* the reader how and what 
she is experiencing emotionally. It is also the fact that it 
takes some time before Susan accepts that it is okay to 
enjoy having sex with Leslie. In other words, Susan is faced 
with a dilemma. I like dilemmas. Dilemmas are good for 
erotic stories, provided that they are convincingly 
portrayed. I, personally, am convinced that Susan 
experiences a real dilemma in this story. Consequently, I am 
very impressed by this author's work, along with being very 
aroused.

Oh, and by the by, I haven't even mentioned the 
exhibitionist and voyeuristic elements in this story, but 
they are there and they also add flavor to the story.

What don't I like about this story? The ending is a bit 
predictable. There are some grammatical errors.

Do I recommend this story? Yes, I strongly recommend that 
you read it, unless of course you do not care for stories 
that involve lesbian sex.
