The Perfect Fit

Justin discovers finding the right person can sometimes be a matter of luck.

A trickle of sweat ran between Justin’s shoulder blades, his breaths wrenching from him as he barrelled through the bushland. His muscles strained beneath his grey jersey, his fingers tightening around the bars as he navigated the gravel track through the brush. He’d traded his Honda in for a Husaberg a month ago but because of all the shit going on with his girlfriend— ex- girlfriend...Read On

Irresistible

Gemma strays outside her comfort zone with the encouragement of her husband.

Gemma stood in front of the en suite mirror, her dark hair falling over her shoulders in loose waves as she readied herself for the night ahead. She wore only a pair of black lace panties, partly to avoid getting makeup smudges on her dress but also because it gave her a warm feeling wandering around half-naked in front of her husband. She stroked her lashes with one final coat of mascara...Read On

Take a Hike

Zoe needs to find a way to get along with Evan.

“I’ve never known anyone so uncoordinated in all my life.” Evan laughed as he gripped the handle on the top of Zoe’s backpack. “You’re hopeless,” he said, dragging her none-too-gently onto the granite boulder where he’d spent the last five minutes waiting for her. “Oh, fuck off.” Zoe gained her footing and shoved his hand off her, annoyed by the way everything physical came so easily to...Read On

Caught in the Act

Anna's new housemate catches her in a private moment.

Anna had only been living with Lincoln for three months, one week and five days when he walked in on her masturbating. He’d originally left with an overnight bag swinging from his clenched fist and a casual comment thrown over his shoulder to let her know he was spending the weekend at a friend’s place. Ten minutes after he walked out the door she stripped down to her tank top and...Read On

Just One Kiss

All Jade wanted was a kiss.

“In the six years we’ve known each other we’ve never once tried to get it on.” Luke absently stroked Jade’s long dark hair, his fingers combing through the strands. She lay with her head on his lap and her legs extended along the length of the couch. “Why’s that, do you think?” The sound of cheering drifted from the game show playing on the television and empty dishes from their takeout...Read On

The Proposition

Grace has an awkward question to ask Tom

Grace Newell tugged at the strap of her black singlet and let out a sigh. She couldn’t believe she was actually going through with this. She rapped her knuckles against the door and took a step back. Her heart thudded so loud the beats pounded in her ears.  She smoothed her hands over her denim skirt and turned to gaze at the quiet street. Sunlight bounced off the windshield of her...Read On

Making the First Move

Sophie finally goes after what she wants.

“Just a couple more steps and you’re there.” Ryan slid his arm around Sophie’s waist and nudged the taxi door closed. As the car pulled away from the curb he glanced at the veranda of her cottage-style home, thankful she’d left the porch light on so they wouldn’t have to navigate the brick pathway in the dark. She clutched his hand and snorted. “Someone’s moved the house! I can’t make it...Read On

Happy Anniversary

A surprise awaits Travis when he arrives home from work.

Thank you to Wellmademale for coming up with the challenge to write a story based on the above photo. Maggie stood in the middle of her bedroom and peered into the full-length mirror, fluffing her long blonde hair and blowing the side-swept fringe from her eyes. She smiled as she gave her outfit a final once over. The mismatched collection of garments clashed and fit together perfectly...Read On

Beneath His Hands

Molly learns how to let go

Molly's voice echoed in the candlelit bathroom, her off-key words bouncing from the tiled walls. The scent of gardenias filled the air, drifting from the emptying bath behind her. With her face scrubbed free of makeup and her body relaxed after a long soak, this was one of her favourite parts of the day. The boys were in bed. Housework done. Her time to finally wind down at the end of it all. ...Read On

Together Again

Emma and Daniel reunite after a year apart.

Emma sipped absently from her champagne glass and glanced around the room. The three piece band had just begun playing, the lively tune almost drowned out by the thrum of voices. Many of the guests had already found their tables, while others milled around the bar chatting and drinking. She smoothed the skirt of her black strapless dress and tucked a tendril of auburn hair behind her ear....Read On

Stranded

Tess finds an enjoyable way to stay warm.

Tess stopped walking and blew out a loud breath. She shoved tangles of flame-red hair from her brow and stared up at the sky. The clouds had shifted and reformed, their colour deepening to an ominous grey. It was only a matter of time before they broke. She slanted a glance at her wristwatch; four-thirty already . Her stomach churned at the thought of the storm threat hanging over her and...Read On

Desire Awakened

Catherine gets cosy with her brother-in-law

Catherine wandered through her noise-filled home, listening to her heels click on the floorboards as the music's heady beat thrummed through her veins. She sent an occasional smile to one guest or another, raising the champagne flute clutched in her fingers in a silent toast. Friends and family filled her home to capacity, all in attendance to celebrate her husband Sean's...Read On

More Than a Fling - Chapter One

Meg receives an offer she can't refuse.

Meg let out a relieved sigh as she kicked off her sandals and leaned on the balcony railing of her second floor hotel room. She tucked her russet-coloured curls behind her ear and gazed at the tropical gardens below. Butterflies hovered over lush plants and the breeze carried with it distant laughter from the swimming pool. Her skin gleamed with moisture and her long hair clung to the back...Read On

More Than a Fling - Chapter Two

Jack finds a way to help Meg relax.

Meg dropped her beach bag onto the sand and spread her towelover the sun lounge she’d just rented from one of the locals. She adjusted the strap on her white bikini and tugged her sunglasses from her hair, sliding them into place over her eyes. With her fingers linked above her head, she arched her back and gave her muscles a leisurely stretch. She’d started the day on little more than...Read On

More Than a Fling - Chapter Three

Jack and Meg strike a deal

Jack awoke to the sound of gentle snoring and the alluring scent of warm woman. Long limbs draped over his chest and thighs, wrapping him in a snug cocoon. He shifted his arm and realised his elbow had somehow become nestled between a pair of breasts. A slamming door and a burst of raucous laughter broke the silence outside as the hotel grounds slowly came to life. The rattle of a cart...Read On
