Enemies of Imagination - Teaser

Barbara Trapido writes in Temples of Delight that her hero, the man of letters, Giovanni, ate biscotti, hard Italian biscuits, biting on them, gathering up the crisp crumbs in his mouth before taking between his teeth Alice's nipple and sucking. The contrast of hard and soft, those rough-edged crumbs on pale pink skin.

Clare thought she had found her Giovanni, her Mr Darcy. She fantasised about Jack biting her, tearing her skin with his teeth. As it turned out, she never had to tell him her fantasies - he was Giovanni, he played her body like an electric guitar.
