When we left the beach, it almost felt weird to be wearing clothes again. After all, we’d been naked for most of the day. We’d been so free and so open that even my t-shirt and shorts felt uncomfortable. Chad didn’t say a word till we got in the car. But as soon as we shut the car doors, he seemed to be dying to talk. “Dude,” he said, “holy shit! That was something else. I can’t believe we just did that, I mean...” I wait...

The sun peaked over a cloud as she finished putting up her tent. She was just starting a light sweat, but the cool mountain air felt refreshing. The smell of spruce filled her lungs and the prospect of a night alone in the woods terrified her a little bit.  "It's an experiment," she told him, "I want to give it a try to see if a longer hike is something I want actually to do." He was okay with it and had spent quite a bit...

Doll had woken up to find a box.  It happens every Saturday. She’d begun to expect it. Sometimes it was a bouquet, sometimes a plushie, sometimes a dress or something to add to her wardrobe. She opened it this time and saw a silver collar with studs on it, and an envelope. She opened the envelope.  Tonight, my dearest one. Wear this, and you will please me. -- yours Truly, the Toy Master Doll smiled slightly and took the...

My early retirement could not have happened at a more opportune time in my life. Having bought a home in a remote village, I was delighted that my life would give me the absolute solitude I had always desired. I had never been comfortable in the company of people, and from childhood, had always found my own company preferable. Much as my phlegmatic aloofness perplexed my parents, they eventually simply accepted it. As an...

Tucker Hargreaves had inherited his farm from Tucker Snr. Although it had been a successful farm, his dad was not up to the upcoming challenges that lay ahead. Tucker, fortunately, was born with an abundance of real-world understanding and even had an uncanny foresight that would become the envy of all his neighbours. It was almost as if he was in a conspiracy with the weather gods. Another benefit for Tucker was, marryin...

Chapter Six. I pulled up into the parking lot and parked in the shade of a big gum tree while I waited. I was daydreaming about the events of the day as I watched the boys begin packing up the gear. I was shaken out of my daydream by the phone ringing. “Hello?” “Hi, hon. How are you doing?” I instantly felt a bit panicky. Did he know? Had Kat sent the videos afterall? Why was he ringing me at this time? He should be on hi...

Chapter Five. I was still in a daze and was just pulling my shorts up when there was a knocking on my door. Oh, Jeremy, that better not be you. I thought as I walked to the door. I opened the door and there was Katherine, Jeremy's girlfriend. Oh fuck. D “Oh, fuck.” A “Oh, fuck.” I had no idea she was even home. Her car wasn't there when I drove past this morning. Shit, how long has she been home? Judging by the shit-eatin...

Chapter Four. I put the basket on my hip and sashayed out the door. I was only three paces from the door when I heard in the background. “Holy shit. Gotta go. Yeah, it's all good. See you later.” I couldn't help but smile as I had got pretty much the reaction I had hoped for. I put the basket down and with my back to him, I bent over slowly as though searching for something in particular. Letting him have a long lingering...
