It’s not unusual for Karina to stop by my desk to acknowledge a comment made in a meeting or pop into a casual conversation at the beginning or end of a workday. But it is unusual for her to pull up a chair and show me something on her computer, as she did Friday of last week. After all, Karina is our Chief Financial Officer, responsible for budgets, expenditures, maximizing profitability, and ensuring financial data comp...

It was the night before Christmas, and the kids were finally in bed. Beth and I decided it was time to put the presents under the tree. I went into the bedroom and grabbed an armful of gifts we had kept hidden for weeks. The gifts were piled so high in my arms that I couldn’t see over them, and, as a result, I banged my toe on the dining room table. “Fuck!” I exclaimed as pain shot through my toe and the presents tumbled...

Being a Mall Santa is a thankless job. The costume is hot, the beard is itchy, and you always run the risk of a child peeing on your leg. Not to mention, they don't really dry-clean the suit in between Santa's so you end up sitting in someone else's sweat all day. With that being said, it felt good to see the smiles on the faces of those that came to sit on his lap and get a picture taken with the jolly old elf. Santa's N...

I had barely arrived home from my Christmas break at college when Mom started peppering me with questions about Christmas gifts. Eager to get her to drop the subject, and to make sure that I didn't get a bunch of stuff I didn't want, I agreed to go with her to a local outlet mall. My name is Leah and I am twenty-two. I have light brown hair, although it is sometimes sandy blonde if I lighten it, I weigh one hundred and te...

“C’mon, do it. Just once.” We were half-a-day into a two-day road trip to my parents’ house in Iowa for the holidays. We had been listening to a smutty book for the past hour, and we were both wound up. I put my blinker on and slid into the passing lane. “One time. C’mon, it’ll probably wake him up. You could be a lifesaver.” “Fine.” Donna untucked her shirt and rolled down the window. As we came even with the cab of the...

(Mid 1990s) For many years I worked in the entertainment department of a theme park in Central Florida. It did not pay well at all, but it was great fun. My co-workers were all young adults, like me, all of us just wanting to have fun, while finding ourselves. The nature of our job allowed us to spend more time hanging out on break than actually working. We performed in a twenty-minute show four times a day, and finding w...

The rest of the night was uneventful and the girls slept soundly. Jess's Mum surprised everyone when they woke to find her already up and showering. They could hear her in the bathroom, singing to herself. Holly and Jess looked at each other, then at Jenny who walked into the room naked and smiling carrying a tray of mugs. "Hot coffee," she called and put the tray down next to the bed. The sound of water running stopped a...

"Oh, come on, Holly, I know you were as turned on as me." "Yes, but, what if it gets out of hand?" Holly sounded unsure. "How can it? There are two of us and we keep the door locked and know how far to go." "We should both wear jeans and only do what we agree to do beforehand. I know you, Jess. You're obsessed with bloody cocks lately." "Oh, and make sure we have plenty of tissues and maybe wet wipes too," Jess added. "I...

My husband’s birthday present to me, in addition to taking me out to Applebee’s, a movie, and a night in a nice hotel, all in Colorado Springs, was something from a company called Lovense, which sells sex toys. I had a pretty good idea what it was for and how it worked as soon as I unwrapped it, but I had no idea how well it worked, or that he could operate it remotely, from miles away, using an app on his phone. He’d bee...
