Third Wheel Blues

A skiing holiday with your best friends sounds great, unless you end up the third wheel

Snow crunched under the tyres of the four by four as Tim pulled up onto the driveway outside the chalet. “Here we go,” he said. He leaned over to Fiona in the passenger seat and kissed her on the cheek before they both giggled and flung the doors open. In the back seat Lilly pulled her shawl closer around her shoulders. Why had she even bothered to come? She was selfish, that’s what it was....Read On

Secret Sex in the Stacks

Confident, impulsive Reese sets his sights on shy, librarian's assistant Cerys.

One look at the library floor plan by the door told Reese it would take a while to find what he was looking for. He didn’t have much patience with the Dewey decimal system. By the nearest stack, a young woman in a long skirt and a tight t-shirt stood next to a cart of books. She pushed a volume into its appropriate spot and then selected another from the cart, pushing up her glasses...Read On

Might As Well Go There In Style

School team coach Rob can't resist taking cheerleader Ellie's cherry

At the middle of the back row of the triangle of cheerleaders, Ellie turned a perfect cartwheel and dropped into an elegant, controlled split. Rob sighed. She was one of the better ones on the cheerleading team but she didn’t get on well with the other girls. Laura, the team captain, always gave Ellie the spot at the back where no one could see her. He’d thought about intervening on...Read On

Like An Actual Girl - Part 1 of 2

A fantasy for all you gamers out there. Yes Gav, I'm looking at you :P

Joe put his feet up on his coffee table as he flicked through the after game stats on his Xbox. “Yeah, good game. You guys going to be online tomorrow night?” “For sure, laters,” Sam said. A couple of seconds later it flashed up on the TV screen Sam has left the party. Kevin chuckled. “Actually I’ve got a date. But who knows, if it bombs I might be on here looking for some things to kill.”...Read On

How Quiet Can You Be?

Two friend can't wait to take the next step on a coach ride through the Alps

“I’m so bored,” Penny whined. “Read your book,” I said. I adjusted my folded up coat against the window and closed my eyes again. Outside the mountains rolled by in the darkness as the coach wound its way through them to the ski resort. “I finished it.” “Then, I don’t know, try to sleep or something.” “I can’t sleep, Johnny, I’m too wired. I can’t read, can’t watch the scenery out...Read On

What are friends for?

Friends don't let friends suffer!

“Never?” I asked. Charlie pressed his lips into a thin line and raised his eyebrows. “Nope, not once.” “How come?” “Long story.” I leaned forward over the table, hands clasped over my coffee mug. “But you’ve been married for nearly as long as I’ve been alive! How can you have never had oral sex?” “It’s complicated.” “And you’ve never contemplated, you know, having an affair?” ...Read On

My Stockholm Girl

When his attempt at robbery goes wrong, Simon finds help from the most unlikely source; his hostage.

Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck! I didn’t… I wasn’t… How did I get myself into these situations? I peeked through the blinds at the scene outside the office. At least three police cars were now parked outside with their doors open like shields, armed police arrayed around them. Actually armed , like, with guns! I’d never even seen a real gun before today. “Release the girl and come out with...Read On

Easing his pain

Emily takes a shortcut on her way home and finds something she didn't expect

Dark, scary graveyard or safe, well lit road? Which route to take home seemed like a clear cut choice but the shortcut through the grave yard was so much quicker. Oh screw it! What could possibly go wrong? I pushed open the gate and started along the path. The full moon climbed high in the sky casting an ethereal glow to light my way, bright enough to cast shadows. The summer night was...Read On

Last Day Send-off

With a little help, a man gives his desk a decent send off on his last day at work

One sad little box and a card containing some of the most insincere messages ever written; that was all I would take with me when I left. And, even then, only as far as the nearest bin. After eight years I would leave this company with nothing, and only look back to flip them the finger on my way out the door. The box full of accumulated desk crap sat by the door to my private office. Meanwhile...Read On

High Stakes Pool

Only bet what you're prepared to lose

“Go on, man,” said Eric, giving Vance a light shove towards the bar and the girl standing there. “Go on, what?” “Make a move.” Vance drained the last of his beer and took a deep breath. He’d been watching her for the best part of twenty minutes. She stood out in this place in her long black skirt and corset. She wore her hair up so little strands framed her face. He waited for her...Read On

Bad Girl

Sam has been a bad girl, but she won't accept her punishment without a fight

“Over my lap girl, now,” Graham said, sitting on the edge of the bed. I glared at him from across the room. “No. Make me!” His eyes flashed with desire and I felt the breath leave my lungs. This was our favourite game and neither of us ever held back. Safety words were for amateurs. He sighed. “Do I have to restrain you, Sam?” “Ha! It’s the only way you’re going to get me.” I...Read On

Ethereal Cupid

If you could travel anywhere in an instant, who would you visit?

I pulled open a door in the ether and stepped out onto Lakeside road. Well, stepped out and down and landed in a crumpled heap on the asphalt; always a risk over such a long distance. To be honest, opening an ethereal doorway, three feet above the ground, smack in the middle of the road you were aiming for, from over three thousand miles away, was pretty damn close. I picked myself up...Read On

Festival Fever

Kez and Ella let the feeling take them

Mosh pits aren’t normally my thing. I’m short so I get elbowed in the head a lot. But I couldn’t resist it today; my favourite band played their hearts out on stage and I wanted the rush. I pushed forward into the crowd trying to get as close as I could. Closer to the stage the throng got denser. I had bodies pressed up against mine on every side and the mass moved as one entity. I threw...Read On

The Anonymous Honeymoon

Whatever do you do when you're on your honeymoon on your own?

There he was again, watching me. I’d seen him a few times now; by the pool, on the deck, in several of the bars and, one time, just in the coffee lounge as I walked through to breakfast. I never saw him with anyone, which struck me as odd. But then, I was on this cruise on my own too. It was supposed to be my honeymoon, only I got ditched at the altar; three weeks ago now. For the first few...Read On

The Dream Inside the Candlelight

Meg as an unexpected encounter on the beach

Based on a photo prompt from OwenAnderson. *** “Well, how long will you be?” Meg asked. The phone hissed slightly “… t two hours… love,” her husband’s voice crackled. “Fine. I’ll wait.” She sighed and hung up. She slumped forward on the picnic table with her head resting on her folded arms and turned to watch the sun descending to meet the sea on the horizon. Taxi or wait? She...Read On

Shower Time

I hope you're sitting comfortably, this show is for you.

I imagine you’re watching me and close my eyes as the hot water hits my naked skin. What are you thinking, standing right there in the room with me as I lather up my hair and let the suds drip down? Excitement races through me. I imagine your eyes wandering up and down my body, following the falling suds as they slide over my breasts, down my stomach and on down my legs. The hot water...Read On

How Long Can You Wait?

Friends turned lovers, Johnny and Pen, take the tension to the limit their first time together.

NOTE - Follows on from How Quiet Can you Be? “Pen? Pen wake up love, we’re here.” I gently shook her and her eyes flickered open. My heart swelled in my chest just looking at her. When we got on the coach in England we’d been best friends. Now we were getting off in the Italian Alps as lovers. I was so glad I hadn’t chosen to fly! Penny looked up at me and smiled. “That was quick,”...Read On

Like An Actual Girl - Part 2 of 2

Joe and Steph meet up in real life for the first time

A hand on Joe’s shoulder made him jump. He looked up from his dessert bowl at his mother. “Joe, sweetie, are you sure there’s nothing wrong? You’ve had that vacant look on your face all day.” He found a smile and rubbed his eyes. “I’m fine, just, things on my mind.” “Well you know you can talk to us if you want to.” “It’s nothing bad, promise.” He pushed his unfinished cheesecake...Read On
