NO THANKS FOR SHARING

I'm getting pretty fed up with your attitude, mister. You should try being as friendly as your wife.


John Deering meets a sexpot in a bar who offers him employment with her rich aunt. The aunt—this is a sleaze book, so she’s a total cougar—is mysterious about the job, but when you send your daughter to find a man in a bar what do you suppose the job will be? The aunt lounges about in bed half naked and tells John she’ll pay him just to hang around her mansion, allegedly so she can study him and see if he’s the right man for the still unspecified job. It’s about at this point that he realizes she has no feet. Which makes this passage rather interesting:

He could not help noticing that her nightgown was high on her hips. She was exposed to his view. He tried not to look at her cunt, but found it next to impossible not to do so. She has a beautiful body, he thought. She must have been ravishing once, before her accident. She still is, he thought further—no mistake about it. There is nothing about her that repels me, as she feared there might be. I find her damned pleasant to look at—feet or no feet.

John is finally told about the job. The cougar and her husband can’t inherit unless they give the patriarch of the clan a grandchild. Why can’t the hubby get the job done? Does it matter? This is sleaze. The only job that truly matters is giving readers boners. John is sexually attracted to the aunt, but also likes her daughter, who’s more age appropriate for him. Complications arise, including—gasp!—murder. And that’s all we’ll say. Except that we really enjoy these silly books. The copyright on this one is 1967 and the art is by Ed Smith.
