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 […]

Personal Assistant

Derick Holster sat in his office staring blankly at his computer screen. He finds himself doing this often as his mind drifts away thinking about his wife Karen. Derick was a widower after his wife Karen lost her battle with breast cancer the previous year. He often thinks about her straight blonde hair, long eyelashes, and beautiful blue eyes. He […]

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. It looked like the big, ugly redhead was gonna be the spokesman. He stood next to my seat trying to hover over me with the clear intent to […]

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 […]

Friends and Family

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? That was the way I felt about my best friend, Nicholas […]

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. […]
