It was late January, and I was shopping at the mall. The holiday rush was over, and the mall was sparsely populated and quiet on a weekday afternoon. I had taken the day off to shop for a friend’s birthday and maybe update my wardrobe a little when a shimmering sweater caught my eye. The clerk directed me to the dressing booths. I went in and hung up my jacket. I closed the curtain and faced the mirror as I removed my pul...

He was the embodiment of chaos. An unpredictable cartoon character. He represented everything Jennifer Laurent should have abhorred – crude, goofy, lackadaisical, kind of lazy, spontaneous… agnostic. Even the first time they met, Jennifer didn’t really think much about Alex, but clearly she had some kind of effect on him. It was some event where their respective colleges sent teams to research something together. The coll...

“Neil, I am annoyed. Amirah had no right to cane poor Mary. I made light of it the next morning with Mary, but I must speak to Amirah. I’m going to invite her around when Mary is out. It might be better if we could be alone.” “Mary and Janet will be out during the day on Saturday, helping with the otter census in the waterways. Saturday in the office is what I need to deal with the latest project.” “Mary’s headteacher ran...

I’m the arcade prize when you’ve slipped your last coin in to play. I’m the thirsty feeling in your body fading away when you guzzle down something wet, warm, and perfect. I’m that gasp of certainty as you feel your mind tip over, knowing you’re about to cum your load over some pretty smiling face. You know me, but you don’t. You want me, but you’ve had me. You crave me with a need you can’t name, but you feel it as basic...

She looked at him with a bewildered expression. He smiled as he read her mind. “Don’t worry, honey, there is plenty of time for me later! It’s a you and me kind of weekend!” “What? where? huh” she asked confusedly. “Just GET IN the Jeep and we can get outta here!! I’ll be three minutes to get my stuff!” He ran upstairs to pack a few things leaving her wondering what had just happened. Her phone buzzed and she saw it was f...

She sat back in her chair and took several breaths. “Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I can’t back out on Andy, but I can’t say no to Donald either!! Oh my god.” She grabbed her phone, deleted her message, and started again: “Hey honey, that sounds amazing! I have to work until 5 and maybe later though?? I am so sorry I can’t leave at 4:00! What’s going on? What are we doing?” She read it to herself an...

This is a true story of an encounter with a lady that I met a few years before I met my wife. I'd been out on the town in Plymouth, where I'd been drafted due to being in the Royal Navy. It was Easter, so everyone I knew from my ship was on leave. I was in this club at the top end of town, and I noticed this very striking woman in her mid-twenties sitting at a table on her own, looking at her drink, somewhat subdued. I've...

Donald’s legs burned as he did his last set of squats for the morning. “Great job Coach, you have really been getting after this spring!” said one of his senior basketball players. Donald smiled and said, “Just trying to get back into shape.” Morning weights with the team used to be something Donald had given to an assistant coach, but for the past six weeks, he had been working out with the students every day. It was beg...

When the sun went down on the tenth day since I had opened up to Christian about my secret past in pornography, he still had not called. He had texted a couple of times in reply to me, but it was bland stuff like, “How was your day?” and “College going ok?”. After our conversation, he’d said, “Will you understand if I take some time to think? I’m not breaking things off. But this is kind of a shock, Roser. It doesn’t soun...

It seems to me that life is simply about timing and decisions. There’s good and bad, and only in hindsight can you be sure which is which. Good can turn out bad, and sometimes what you thought was extremely bad can turn out good, and then much later on… **** It had seemed like an age since Michael and I had been allowed to be adults and, to be honest, we were behaving like teenagers! It was his younger sister’s wedding, a...
