To Eric, maybe, it's steamy (6)
I believe the answer is:
erotic
'steamy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'to eric maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'eric'='toeric'
'toeric' anagrammed gives 'EROTIC'.
'it's' is the link.
(Other definitions for erotic that I've seen before include "Sensual" , "Calculated to arouse sexual desire" , "Relating to sexual desire" , "Titillating" , "Sexually arousing" .)
