It was “no” again last night. "No," after the kiss at her desk. "No," while touching her as she bathed. "No," when I invited her to bed. So, I went out instead. She pretended sleep when I returned, waiting for my kiss given whenever I return late. I thought “no” and rolled over instead. This morning, no caress of her ass as I walk nude behind her makeup routine. Only “no” via a “good morning” instead. She’s confused. Then...

After Mandy had “forced me” to make love to her using a strapped-on dildo, I was left with a guilty conscience, knowing I had been disloyal to Jessica. Mandy had sworn me to secrecy, but I was uncomfortable with the knowledge I had. My sleep that night was troubled, and I was up early. I heard the postman push something through the letter box. It was a padded envelope, bearing just my first name and my address, written in...

The Gift I heard them before I saw them—Sue’s girlish giggle in the corridor, followed by the muffled sound of a kiss that made my chest ache. My hands gripped the arms of the chair she’d told me to sit in, tucked neatly into the corner of the hotel room. I pulled the bathrobe tighter, knowing what I had on underneath. The door opened. Sue stepped in first, flushed and radiant, Darren right behind her. They were still lau...

The bass thrummed through Laura’s ribs as she stepped closer, Jake’s heat a solid presence at her back. The air smelled like sweat and leather, the musk of sex thick enough to taste. Pat was right there—bound, gagged, his chest rising in sharp little gasps, his throat working around the gag. A sheen of sweat glistened on his collarbone, spit running down his chin. Then she saw the couple. A woman sprawled on the table in...

The Snack Shack was busy, bustling with tourists and neighborhood teens. I slowly slurped my milkshake, trying to pull the last dregs from the cup, when I felt hands on my shoulders. Before I could turn my head to see who it was, Jenny's face appeared, her pouty lips pushed out in a pucker. They wet my cheek. "I've been looking for you," she stated. I turned around to face her, leaning my back against the table. She stood...

The summer went by quickly. My relationship with Tori had flourished. However, just two weeks prior to the commencement of my university classes, she had dropped a surprising revelation on me. We were enjoying a round of golf at Eagle’s Nest Country Club. On the par three sixth hole, I was about to hit the ball, and she remarked, “By the way, I informed my parents about us and how we met. They wish to meet you, and I told...

Helen awoke with a start. It was still dark, and she was unsure of what had awakened her. Then Jessica shrieked ecstatically from Helen’s father’s room. “Pound my arse.” Helen grinned. Her best friend, Jessica, was always louder when Helen's father buggered her. Helen sighed, wishing her own bum was full, but she'd been celibate since her Corfu holiday. She rolled over and tried to sleep, but her best friend's loud, vocal...

Gravel shifts beneath my sneakers, each crunch a metronome I cling to. The sound is ordinary, grounding, proof I still belong here. Evening air slides under my skirt. Cool against my thighs above striped socks that feel more like armor than fashion. I keep my gaze pinned to the path. It’s easier to believe the world ends where my feet land. The sun drags low, bruising the sky in amber and violet. Clouds glow from beneath...
