Background: This is a novella of nearly 14k words, set in the world of Emily and James Harrington – a couple recently living the hotwife lifestyle. I’m writing three full-length novels based on them. At the time of writing, the first two books are already published on Amazon Kindle / paperback.
This shorter story is placed at the end of book 2, and does not appear in the main body of the trilogy at all – so can be enjoyed stand-alone, or wait until you’ve finished the first two books!
ABOUT THE BOOK
What happens when your wife’s former professor becomes her evening companion for one explosive night? James Harrington is about to find out, as he arranges the ultimate anniversary surprise for his adventurous wife Emily – an evening with distinguished gentleman David Matthews, who turns out to be none other than her former university professor. A night of intense passion, power exchange, and fulfilled fantasies awaits at London’s most luxurious hotel.
The third installment in Chris Rider’s steamy series “The Harringtons” picks up after Emily and James have fully embraced their alternative lifestyle. Their journey from traditional marriage to romantic adventure reaches new heights when James discovers Emily’s university crush was none other than her demanding professor – who just happens to be available through London’s most exclusive introduction agency.
Set in the opulent Langham Hotel, this steamy novella follows James as he watches his beloved wife transform from confident modern woman back into an obedient student under Professor Matthews’ masterful guidance. The evening unfolds through intimate revelations, intense chemistry, and passionate encounters that push all three participants to their limits.
As Emily confronts her university fantasies and surrender to her former professor, James experiences the ultimate thrill of seeing his wife completely captivated by a man she’s secretly desired for over a decade. The professor hasn’t forgotten his former student’s provocative behaviour, and he’s ready to finally give her the attention she’s always craved.
From the sophisticated Artesian bar to the luxurious Sterling Suite, every moment builds with increasing tension as Professor Matthews systematically breaks down Emily’s resistance through revelations of her university days and masterful presence. James finds himself an active participant in his wife’s evening, following the professor’s lead as they both attend to Emily.
This passionate tale delves deep into themes of power, surrender, observation, and the intense trust between a modern couple. The story expertly weaves together past and present, fantasy and reality, as three people explore their deepest desires during one unforgettable night.
Written in Rider’s signature evocative style, “The Anniversary Gift” delivers passionate descriptions of intimate encounters while maintaining the emotional connection between husband and wife that fans of The Harringtons series have come to love. The story culminates in an intense evening that pushes all participants to their absolute limits.
Perfect for readers who enjoy their romance with a heavy dose of power exchange, professor-student dynamics, and alternative lifestyle themes, “The Anniversary Gift” is a masterclass in romantic tension and release. This novella can be read as a standalone story but is best enjoyed as part of The Harringtons series, where readers can follow James and Emily’s complete journey into their unconventional lifestyle.
