The Honeymoon
I’ve been madly in love with Arthur Jay since I was a freshman in college. My name is Teralynn House. And when I first saw Artie, I thought: “This is the man for me!” He was fine in a goofy sort of way. He was one of those bruthas who was fine without knowing he was fine, you know? It […]

Best Friend’s Sister
Finally! Christmas Break had arrived. Classes were over, exams were done. Two weeks of no thinking. No assignments, no studying, and no homework. I was wrapping up the four-hour drive home and had half an hour left. I was tired of driving but in no hurry to get home. My home was a soap opera.
I Love You
“Well, since it is your birthday, do you want a blowjob?” I say, trying to pass off the question as a casual, flirtatious joke, when in reality I wanted to taste him in the worst fucking way. I try to nonchalantly look up at him, flicking my hair out of my eyes. My head is in his lap, and he’s […]
The Kid Nobody Missed
“Look, y’all! We got us a baby killer on the bus.” They thought I was asleep, but I overheard the four of them working up the courage to act on their stupidity.

The Girlfriend Experience
When I pictured losing my virginity, I always thought it would be with a boyfriend that I cared for. There would be rose petals sprinkled on the bed; candles lit around the room; and romantic music playing in the background. The sexual tension would be so palpable that my stuffed elephant, Mr. Fluffypants, would’ve ran for the closet as soon […]
Free from Fear
“Simon.” My father addressed me in the same authoritative voice that he addressed everyone in this place. I have come to expect nothing less. “I would like you to meet Rebekkah Cateness, she will, in the fullness of time become your wife.”
Hurricane Ida
I finally was able to arrange some time off and I knew what I was going to do. I was going up to my cabin in upstate New York for a week of complete relaxation. No TV, no phone, no internet and nobody to bother me. The only device I had was my portable radio which I listened to once […]

Have you ever been head over heels in love with someone you didn’t think would want you in a romantic way? Have you ever had that love become super complicated incredibly fast when you move on then find out they did, in fact, want you in a romantic way?

N is for New Year’s Eve
“How long have we been sleeping?” “The sun is setting, so a couple hours.” I rolled over on my bed and snuggled deeper into Jacob’s armpit, enjoying our extended afterglow. “I’m living in a fairy tale. You are my prince.” “I don’t have a white horse.” “You have my heart.” We pressed our naked bodies closer together under the sheet. […]
