She was sitting on his chest, her long hair falling like curtains around their faces. She leaned in, pressing her lips to his in a soft, slow kiss. "Are you sure you want to do this, love?" Her voice was a gentle whisper, as soothing as a lullaby. "Rememb...
In response to my squirming, Claire lifted herself slightly, hovering just above my face. Her voice was firm but gentle as she spoke, "Look, I want you to stay still. I want to enjoy my evening. Just calm down. It can't be that bad." Her words hit me with...
While our lips were otherwise engaged, Jess’s fingers had begun to tug at my clothes. I awkwardly stood, still locked at the lips, and helped her hands along. As my shorts and underwear slid down, she finally broke away with a gasp, then a giggle; not exa...
The last Friday of the last summer break of my undergraduate degree and where was I? Backpacking through Europe? Hanging out with friends? Earning a little extra cash? No. I was running wind sprints in an almost empty recreation center. And why? Because m...
"Grace, I’d like to run a fingernail lightly down your neck. Maybe graze against you. Run a fingertip down along your ear. What colour are your eyes? Do you have a favourite vibrator?" "Blue eyes. I have a vibrator but honestly prefer my fingers to get me...

Casey really knows how to make herself at home. The Imp seems to leave a trail of destruction in her wake wherever she goes, and it often falls to either you or one of the other lodgers to clean up after her. She drinks straight from the cartons in the fr...
On Saturday morning, I got up at nine o'clock. Laura was already awake and sitting in the kitchen. She was wearing my daughter's bathrobe, which I had handed to her. "Good morning Laura," I said. "I hope you're really hungry. Are you in the mood for panca...
Escape. Life has gotten too unexpected, too hard. I need an escape. He died. He left me here alone. It wasn’t in the plan. He is dead. Days have passed, and my bed is now empty. It doesn't feel real. Escape. Standing next to his stupidly big truck at a ga...

December 18th 2:18 a.m. “How much longer?” Simon asked. Hector looked at his watch. “T-minus six minutes.” Tracking our thirty-minute lunch break was an extreme sport. Mary joined us, her recent nap still clinging to her posture. “Six minutes? I still hav...
