Free Voices in the Dark by Lacey Savage

Voices in the Dark
    Lacey Savage

    Maddie’s coworkers have no idea that she gets off on calling random men, whispering raunchy fantasies in their ears and hearing them orgasm at the sound of her voice. Her fetish is fun, daring and most importantly, safe. That’s paramount for a transplanted Texan now living in New York.
    Sex with strangers is risky. Phone sex is totally anonymous. Until Maddie calls a coworker by mistake. And when Adrian recognizes her voice, he turns her safe little fetish into a dangerous game. One that Maddie can’t possibly win.

Chapter One
    I began doing it in my thirties.
    I know, I’m a late bloomer. Most people start in middle school or in high school if that’s how long it takes to convince enough of their friends to come along for the ride.
    You see, for most folks, this isn’t a solo sport. Rather, it’s something to be shared and enjoyed with others.
