Stephanie hadn’t expected the Algarve to feel this… cinematic. The hotel shimmered like something out of a travel magazine—whitewashed walls, terracotta tiles, and an infinity pool that seemed to spill straight into the Atlantic. She stood at reception, clutching her passport and the last-minute booking confirmation, still half in disbelief that she’d actually come. Her friend Clara had insisted. “You need sun, sea, and s...

Dr Max watched the object of her illicit affections from the relative cool afforded her by the shade of the old smoker's pavilion. Which was a grand name for a left-over bike shelter that had at some point in the last two decades been assembled on the rooftop of the college science block and had served as the refuge for lecturers and staff (from whose lounge the rooftop also opened onto). At least it had while there was s...

"Can you believe this weather? It's so hot," Anna asked Jenny. "I know, I've got nothing done today. I lay out in the garden until 11. I only put some clothes on because you were due round." "You don't mean you were sunbathing naked?" "I do mean that! I love the feeling of the warm sun on my body." "Yeah, but what if somebody saw you?" "That's part of the fun, isn't it?" Jenny giggled. "I would be too nervous to enjoy it....

The life Joyce knew was completely upended in a matter of weeks, even though it felt like a lifetime ago. Like a moth to a flame, she was irresistibly drawn into a hotbed of wickedness as she crossed the threshold of womanhood to learn her family’s deepest forbidden taboo secrets, transforming from a caterpillar into the most beautiful butterfly, gracefully swooping from one sexual adventure to the next. -x- The family we...

Sophia sleepily woke from her slumber and turned to the clock on her side table after a night of pure pleasure and love. “Shit!” she grumbled reading the time, wiping her still sleepy eyes… 09:26, she’d slept through her alarm. She knew there would be repercussions if Nathan were to find out. With a shy smile, she decided he wouldn’t find out she’d overslept. With a big stretch and a yawn, the feeling of the amazing night...

"Allison, you've got to get a grip on that girl," Leslie said, her voice a blend of concern and accusation. Allison nodded, feeling a knot tighten in her stomach. She knew Leslie was right; Annie had been pushing boundaries lately. Coming home past curfew, lying about where she'd been, and even talking back to her teachers. It was all a far cry from the sweet, obedient child she had raised. "But what do I do?" Allison rep...

The air inside the small, dome-shaped tent hung thick and heavy, a humid blanket pressed down by the late summer night. Outside, the chirping symphony of crickets and the rustle of leaves in a faint, infrequent breeze were the only sounds, a stark contrast to the electric tension coiling between the two women within. Kirstie, blonde hair already damp at her temples, felt the warmth as an almost physical presence, clinging...

The morning after, Samira Al-Khaledi, dressed in a stunning blue tunic with silver embroidery that clung to her voluptuous figure, sat with regal poise in the first-class section of the flight. Her eyes, framed by the matching hijab, danced with a mischievous sparkle, hinting at the fiery spirit that dwelt within the elegant exterior. Her presence was a silent declaration of opulence and charm, leaving no doubt in anyone'...

The year is 1852. I am a woman of independent means since I was left by a late aunt, a considerable amount of money and a house when I reached twenty-one years old, ten years ago. It is more than I need, and I try to help others when I can. I employ a number of staff such as a gardener, cook, housekeeper and maid, among others. I pay them well and teach the life skills such a reading, writing and mathematics, whilst my ho...
