Priti had to remind herself why she had chosen Craemuir Cottage for her Christmas writing retreat. The cottage would have been ideal in summer, or at least, what passed for summer in Morayshire. Priti had never visited the Scottish Highlands in the warmer months, but from what the woman in the local shop had told her, summer there was weather Priti could expect in London during May. That would have been perfect; neither t...

This far north, the sky doesn’t fully darken in summer. Aquamarine edges circle an indigo zenith, the inkiness punctured by stars. My breath fogs on the window and I swipe absently to clear it again. The house sits dark and quiet around me. The baby sleeps, for now. I cup my tender breasts and smile. She should be down for the night now after her recent nursing. Her eyes were watchful on mine as she fed. I could gaze at h...

“Right,” she said, deftly wielding the spatula under the triangle-shaped slice of omelet, and positioning it perfectly on my plate, “let’s have a wee snack, and we’ll get to a bit of housekeeping, as you corporate folks like to call it.” I looked at her quizzically for a moment but was instantly distracted as she bent in a fluid motion to open the oven. My senses were overrun all at once by the wondrous sight of her bent...

It was good to get off the M74 after so many hours. I was relieved to reach Glasgow and to know I was close to home. The east-winding road to Edinburgh is one of my favourites; I don't know how many times I'd stopped along it as a student, just to get out and look at the stars: I hadn't done that lately. Not in many years. Maybe that's why I felt compelled to do so on this night. The rain had let up a bit, so I pulled ove...

I was touring Scotland and enjoying the solitude. But one thing I wasn't enjoying was the lack of female company, especially wrapped round me in bed. A long relationship had just broken up and I was back to the solitary bedtime pleasures of my faithful right hand Dusk was falling, I was on road miles from anywhere when I saw a "Bed & Breakfast" sign at the start of a track that wound up a hill to an isolated farmhouse. I...

The diary of Joseph Barker July 10th, 2014; Dallas, USA. When we traveled to the Scottish vale, none of us understood my friend Gloria's sudden change of temper. She was a cheerful girl at the best of times, but the moment we entered that land, she became extremely moody. Gloria is a girl who does whatever she does with absolute finality and with a determination that has been an envy of many in our circle of friends. So w...

Wendy stepped into the great hall and looked around, the light was fading and she pulled the trench coat around her slim figure. She had been so caught up in the ancient splendor of Castle Doune she had forgotten the time. Although old and rundown, she preferred it to the other castle she had visited which was undergoing extensive restoration. Doune however was just the way she imagined a castle. She pushed a strand of lo...

As the hot water caressed and massaged Aidan’s body, he thought of the look on the two women’s faces as they slept on the bed. They both looked like purely satisfied cats that ate their favorite food. He smiled to himself and continued to let the water massage his taught muscles before he began lathering the soap along his chest, and moved his large hands further down to his stomach. Aidan then lathered more soap and cont...

Alice awoke to Missa’s lips on her nipples, and Aidan’s hands scratching up her hips. Moaning awake, Alice pushed her hips back into Aidan’s groin as she registered the sensations and attempted to regain consciousness. Alice ran a hand through Missa’s hair before grabbing a hold of it and pulling her head off her breasts. Smiling at her, Alice pushed Missa’s head towards her pussy and lifted her leg to rest on top of Aida...

When she came back into the bedroom, she found Missa lying on her pillow.   Smiling, Alice reached for the lotion and handed it to Missa.   Now, put lotion everywhere on me first, and then I will put some on you.   Missa obeyed and began rubbing Alice down from neck to toes, front to back with lotion, making sure it absorbed completely.   If she put too much on in one spot, Missa would rub a part of her body against Alice...

“Mommy?” the sound of Missa’s voice finally penetrated her slumber, causing Alice to squint her eyes in the direction of the voice while grunting at her.   This encouraged Missa to continue speaking, “Mommy?   May I eat breakfast now, please?”   Alice ’s voice was rough from all the screaming and moaning but she had enough strength left to respond, “Yes baby girl, there’s fruit and cheese in the frigerator.   Also, call r...

At some point in the night, Alice had rolled away from Aidan’s body heat to cool down, but didn’t notice until she began to get a bit cold.   As she rolled over to snuggle into his body heat, she curled one of her arms under her head and the other around his chest.   Pressing her body into his back, she allowed her hand to run down Aidan’s stomach.   Her hand reached just below his waist when she felt the tip of his semi-...

Alice pressed her head back against the headrest and closed her eyes as Aidan drove towards the Malmaison hotel.   The car was silent, but not a heavy silence.   Alice reached for Aidan’s thigh since his hand had to be used to shift and delighted in the feel of him underneath her hand.   She remembered how he felt, how his hands felt on her and in her.   These thoughts caused Alice ’s breath to quicken and her pulse beat...

When the scene was over, Alice realized the music had turned off and everyone came into the main room.   There were a good 30-50 people milling around and Natalya brought out a cake with candles on it.   As Happy Birthday was sung and Alice blew out the candles, a bondage table was being brought into the center of the room and set up.   Alice didn’t notice at first until people began moving out of the way.   Candles were...
