**** 4 stars
Two compelling, dramatic, sinister yet playful, stories that are wrapped up in a nice package by director Greenwood. It is easy to see why, after just several minutes, why this release has a few worthy nominations in the upcoming AVN awards. Well written by Greenwood each story has a strong believability factor and is performed in a very honest and realistic way by the very talented cast of characters. The sexual connections that come along in each story are woven into the stories at just the right time and place to add even more believability to the scene.
In the opener Candice Dare and Rayveness are a married couple and Oliver Davis is employed by Candice, but there is an immediate twist to this three character play that will soon be revealed. Oliver has been doing a great job and Candice invites him to have dinner at her home. He’s a bit surprised and taken back but figures this may be a good step in getting a raise or promotion or both, so he accepts. Once he shows up at the very well appointed home he meets Candice’ wife, Rayveness who look absolutely stunning. As dinner begins Candice tells Oliver that while she is a lesbian and they are married, Rayveness is bisexual and at times needs what Candice cannot give her. So to satisfy the need Candice will bring home a guy for Rayveness to have fun with from time to time. Oliver is really shocked by this surprise announcement but is quickly put in a more relaxed mood by both ladies. What then takes place after dinner becomes a very explosive encounter between these two as they go at it hot and heavy with Rayveness leaving Oliver totally spent after their encounter. Did he get the promotion? He sure as hell got a raise!
In the second story Vanessa Vega and Nathan Bronson are a happily married couple with a bit of kink to their relationship. In the scene they are getting ready to welcome member of the HOa in their sub division. Nathan tells Vanessa to make sur she wears that special something. Everything is going accordingly once the guests arrive. That is until Nathan activates this special something he wanted Vanessa to wear. The fact is it is a remote controlled butt plug! Once it gets activated Vanessa starts playing with herself, making moans and murmurs. The looks on the guests faces are priceless and they can’t get out of their house fast enough. Once they are gone Vanessa is a little upset, but so damned turned on. Nathan is having a good laugh over it while she lets him have it. But she is so turned on she wants it right then and there and he takes advantage of his wife’s state and they get into one down and dirty encounter with that butt plug becoming even more in the action. When they are done and start to tidy up, they come a cross a note left by one of the neighbors that makes them both smile.
Well done segments with some excellent cinematography, lighting, pacing, eye catching visuals and believability. The cast for each segment was terrific and play their parts very well. It is easy to see why this release has a few AVN nominations. A great view for couples, so be sure and get hold of this award nominated DVD.
