These stories all revolve around a certain private club called The Reading Room. Each tale is told from the perspective of someone who visits or works there, and brings the reader into their vivid world of lust and emotion.
This is a story of seduction; of a man pursuing a woman until she catches him. It begins in a dusty old book store full of antique erotica called "Little Death and Company." Then things warm up nicely in the private club downstairs, where the under-dressed waitstaff are especially accommodating. In a quiet back room Dorothy discovers she has caught more than just a man; she has caught a rare invitation to fulfill all her fantasies in... "The Reading Room".
Stephanie works in The Reading Room as a waitress and an available sexual partner for the members and their guests. She loves her work, but something happens that rocks her to her foundation. And in the midst of the turmoil, she gets a glimpse of something wonderful.
Peter has always had feelings for Stephanie. After the incident at the club, he realizes she may have feelings for him as well. When she begins to open up, what she says leaves him with more questions than answers.
