A glossy black coating mirrored my face and reflected my disinterested expression back to me. I clasped the phone between my shoulder and chin as I continued to carefully paint my toenails. My boyfriend is on the other end and he’d been talking intermittently for several minutes, in that time my attention had drifted so far that I was now paying more attention to the pedicure I was giving to myself. He’s telling me what a...

The blackness was suddenly lifted. The bag was pulled from over my head and light flooded my eyes. I was tied to a chair. In front of me stood a big guy with a tattoo on his head, he had his thumb wedged firmly underneath his belt. I tried to pull my wrists closer together as what felt like cable ties restrained them to the back of the chair. My eyes began to quickly adjust. The room was in fact only dimly lit by the lamp...

The lift was out of order. After climbing up the five flights of stairs to get to Ed’s, I looked up to find the door to the corridor being held open for me, it was one of the older fellas that lived in my boyfriend’s building. Ed would be going out with some friends from work for a night out and I would be staying at his place. “Oh, thank you!” I said, lurching forwards towards the open door with urgency and gratitude. “N...

Tom turned off from the main road of the city limits as we headed out towards the suburbs. I had been with Tom for the best part of eleven months now. We had met at my friend’s birthday party, her boyfriend being good friends with him. We took an instant liking to one another and were attached at the hip for the entire evening. That night, I pulled him away from the party as he stood smoking outside one of the bars into t...

It was a Thursday night and the club was packed. Having the night off from work, I decided to go out, joining my boyfriend and his five friends. James was already in the club when me and my two friends met and joined them. It was a typical night out, lots of drinking, dancing and conversations with raised voices competing against the music. My friend, Gina, would go outside to smoke and I was following regularly for some...

It was about midday when we pulled up to the holiday house after a very long drive. We had set off a good three hours beforehand and had only just arrived. We being myself, both parents and my younger brother. Following Finch, my dad’s friend, our cars rolled carefully down the dirt path and curved at the bottom around the side of the huge building that was going to be our home for the next couple of days. My dad parked u...

I opened the hotel room door and scurried down the hallway, my bare feet grazing against the tough of the carpet. The air had turned cold, or maybe it hadn't, it might have been because I had on only the complimentary bath robe provided to the room. I made my way down the corridor and around the corner without seeing anyone and approached the final door of the hallway, 412. I swiftly knocked and waited. Looking over my sh...

I awoke calmly, but had an immediate preoccupation to leave. All of me lay underneath the covers except for one leg that clung around the outside edge. I turned over to see Malcolm sleeping face up, a content look beamed from him, breathing with ease. His hand underneath the covers resting close to my hip. I turned into his body for warmth and rested my breasts on his upper arm, arching my leg over his. I stayed there for...

The shower screen had heated and humidified to a degree where it was now impossible to see the rest of the bathroom. I ran a hand over the glass and looked over to the clothes that Malcolm had dug out from downstairs.A white blouse with frills around the neck and brown buttons sat next to a V-neck orange jumper. The material of the jumper looked thick and of fairly good quality considering it was second hand, and the blou...

I was awake, but not fully conscious. Eyes barely open, the first thing I felt was the cold air around me. My feet, freezing, chin slumped against my collar bone. Trying to open my mouth I felt a tight, sticky texture clasping my lips shut. As I started to come to, my eyes burned a little. Raising my head I could see barely anything in the room; it was incredibly dark at first until my eyes adjusted to the lack of light a...

I was enjoying a well needed sit and chat with my friend, Patty in the coffee shop that we frequent, which happens not to be the big brand named one that has a chain on every street corner. I was talking with her about one of our other friends when, looking up from my Chocolate Mocha, I saw someone I hadn't seen in years; Moss. At about 6 feet 4 inches and is the biggest black guy I’ve ever seen and was towering over the...

Storming down the stairs of Adam's apartment block, I caught a glimpse of myself in the long mirrors that adorned each adjacent wall. My eyes were tearing up. I briskly raised my hand to my face and caught the wetness that was pooling around my eye lid with the side of my finger as I continued down the stairs. I had no intention of smearing my mascara, to appear, outwardly on the street as a damsel in distress. My straigh...

It was a night out, or a night in, depending on how you looked at it. Me and my boyfriend, Tom were going to a fancy dress house party at one of his friend’s houses. He was dressed as your quintessential pirate, and I was going as a burlesque dancer. This essentially entailed me wearing next to nothing; simply some black high heels, stockings and suspenders with a corset and some halfway down the leg, frilly shorts style...

I gave myself one more look over in the mirror -- eye make-up, perfect; not a smudge. My foundation was pretty floorless and my red lipstick tied it all together. I wore a red party dress with matching coloured French underwear. The top half clung to my ample chest and rolled around itself at my curvy hips. I spread my hand down against the fabric to smooth out the creases around my stomach. I was ready to go.Tonight was...

I was heading out to work, not wearing anything like what was necessary for me to wear on a cold night like tonight. My new boss, Sean had given all the girls at the club a new dress code, which consisted of next to no clothes -- all year round. A black polo shirt with our nightclub's emblem emblazoned onto the right side chest, the buttons got too tight for me around the top and so only two of the four of them were toget...
