Sometimes you make the best of friends early in life. This was the case of Jeff, Anna, Jim, and Maria. Maria was an exchange student from Argentina at their high school, and she quickly became close friends with the others. Eventually, she and Jim fell in love, and so did Jeff and Anna. They were thick as thieves all through high school and opted to apply to the same university. After their graduation, they even moved int...

It was my first rock festival and I had the time of my life. I'd just turned 21 and it was a birthday present to myself to go see some of the best bands around. I went with my best mates; John, his girlfriend Louise, Ollie, his girlfriend Tori, Nate, his girlfriend Rosie and Nate's sister Ashleigh. Ashleigh was 18 and had blossomed into one of the hottest girls I'd ever met, but as we'd known each other since I was 11, I...

The supermarket car park was deserted, the sky above a bruised swirl of indigo and violet. Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, their glow fractured by the cracked windscreen of his battered Chevy. The only sounds were the distant hum of a motorway and the frantic thud of my heart, loud in the hush. The air outside was cool, tinged with the faint tang of petrol and the ghost of rain on asphalt. I was sixteen, nearly sevent...

Following her tryst with Victor, Amanda had enough money to pay for car insurance. When the insurance was paid, she began driving her mom’s car or borrowing her cousin Babsi’s 1998 Ford Escort. She thought the model had a fitting name. Amanda’s mom asked where she got the money to pay the insurance. Amanda had already thought up a lie. She told her mom, “There is this nerdy guy, Jordan, at school whose dad is a stockbroke...

Most 18-year-olds mark their birthday with a family meal out, their first legal drink at a bar, or a night out with friends at a local club. Not me. No, I marked my 18th birthday with a six-mile fighting patrol in the Scottish Highlands, followed by a gruelling night of tactical manoeuvres to take control of and secure a village from an "enemy" force that refused to follow the script—this, to mark the halfway point of a 2...

Parking in the short term at the airport was easy but not cheap, so Julia and I sat in a fast food restaurant parking lot not far from the airport and waited for her younger sister to call. Carrie was arriving Thursday night, a day early for a long weekend. We listened to Julia's Chill playlist and played the Anal Game. "Anal Accord," Julia said and pointed to a passing Honda. "Anal Escape," I gestured at a Ford creeping...

I had won the Prize. It was £80, but I would share most of it with my friends. I'd enjoyed stripping off in front of them to reveal my branded butt. I didn't have to remove all my clothes, or any of them, but I knew my body was good, and I guess I wanted to flaunt it. “Oh my god Miriam when did your tits get so big? They are huge. You are so lucky,” they gazed at my boobs in admiration. “Did you really take all your cloth...

It was late on a Friday night, everyone in the house was asleep; I had found a new magazine that I had never seen before, Penthouse Variations, very different from the magazines that were mostly pictorials. The pictures that I looked at in the Penthouse, Playboy and Hustler magazines always made me hard and aroused, but I didn’t know why or what to do about it. I liked it a lot! I liked how it felt when I explored the shi...

I'd always been a good girl, followed the rules, studied for exams, and attended Sunday School regularly. My friends accepted that, but told me I was missing out on fun. When school broke for summer in my 16th year, we made a pact to do something naughty. We all put £10 in a box. We would vote for a winner. They honestly didn't expect me to participate. I forgot to mention that along with being a good girl, I am extremely...
