"Michelle's Massage: The Encounter" is a standalone story that serves as the beginning to the Michelle's Massage Series.

It's been a nightmare of a week, and the promise of a massage at the end is the only thing that's keeping Michelle going. When she arrives at the massage parlor, though, she finds that her usual therapist, Amanda, has been replaced by Raul, a Hispanic masseur with the body of a god, a voice like chili-infused chocolate, and a truly masterful gift for touch. But Raul’s hands don’t just loosen her knots, they set her heart racing, and Michelle finds herself in the middle of a much more thorough and intimate massage than she had expected.
