Dawn woke with a headache that felt biblical. Throbbing behind the eyes, mouth dry as an old sock, with the faint stench of stale tequila still clinging to her breath. Her knee hurt, a lot, and she wasn’t sure why. The duvet wasn’t covering her. Neither was anything else, come to think of it. She was flat on her front, completely starkers, head buried in the pillow, and she could feel the air brushing softly over her bare...

My fingers typed out the hasty message, “Something came up. You’ll have to take an Uber. Sorry.” I hesitated before sending it, knowing he would be disappointed, but felt sure that what I had planned would make up for it. Chris’s flight was due home in two hours. He’d been gone four long weeks for work, which was fairly routine by now. When he was seated on the plane, I would always send him flirty texts telling him what...

It had been months since that night in the woods, and none of us had been the same since. There had been no blazing row, but there was a distance, a tension now that hadn’t been there before. Evan’s and my sex life had taken a nosedive; we were having sex less than we had even when we’d been fucking Jess and Liam. From what I’d gathered, things were no better for them. I’d still talk to Jess occasionally, but I’d never ta...

It had been a few months since that first camping trip where we’d finally crossed the line and fucked people we weren’t married to. After that, the floodgates opened. We’d been meeting up regularly. In the last two months, I’d had more sex with Liam than with Evan. I caught myself craving him. Craving the way he took control, the way I came so hard I could barely stand afterwards. We’d agreed on new rules. This wasn’t a g...

The storm hit in seconds. One moment we were laughing, mud flicking up around our boots; the next we were sprinting through the trees with rain coming down so hard it stung. By the time we reached the tent, we were drenched, soaked through to the skin. Evan yanked the flap open and shoved me inside. Liam and Jess tumbled in behind us, dripping and breathless. The moment the zip closed, the hammer of rain on the nylon drow...

I topped up everyone’s glasses; the four of us were sunk into our dining chairs, plates scraped clean, the room smelling of roast garlic from the finished main course with overnotes of caramel from the pudding, which was still in the oven. Jess gave me a grin. “The wedding is getting really close now.” “And it’s you we have to thank for it,” Liam said, nodding over at me and Evan. Jess nodded. “True. If you hadn’t dragged...

The sun was doing its damnedest to act like it was summer, but the breeze still carried a bite, the kind that kissed skin rather than slapped it. The garden was waking up in bursts of green and blossom, full of that smug spring smugness that made everything look just a little too alive. Tessa was crouched between two rows of Daffodils, sleeves pushed up, fingers in the dirt, muttering darkly at a stubborn dandelion. "How’...

“Okay, we need to prepare for the next show," Sam said authoritatively. “Sara, start heading to the green room. We'll start shooting in fifteen minutes.” Sara took Jake’s hand and started to head toward the room. Melissa followed behind them and explained that her clothes were in there and that she would get dressed while they were getting ready. Nick pulled on his underwear, decided to wear a robe, and waited to get dres...

The warm Autumn sun was beating down on me as I took advantage of the perfect day to do some yard work. I had worked up a sweat as I raked the leaves and separated some of my perennials in my flower bed. The perspiration was running down between my breasts, despite wearing only a tank top and shorts. A familiar car slowed at our driveway and pulled in. It was Jeff and Kim. I hadn’t seen them since the the night they invit...
