Jenny leaned against the bar in the nightclub that belonged to the resort. She and Veronica had finished dinner, and then gone to the piano bar for a few drinks. By 1 am the club had opened its doors and Jenny, Veronica and maybe another fifty people had...
Jenny looked at herself in the mirror on the wall. The white summer dress sat as if it was painted onto her sixteen-year-old body. She turned a little and smiled at her reflection. Her long black hair was still damp after the shower and fell over her shou...
“Oh, this is agony, sister. I cannot bear it.” As the sun hurried to hide its countenance behind the mountains in the west, I had soon realized I needed to fetch a candle or two, or I would have to put the book down for the night. And as it was, the beaut...
Meghan always loved baking. Ever since she was a little girl, she would help her mother make pies and cakes for every occasion. She enjoyed the smell of the oven, the feel of the dough, and the taste of the sweet filling. She had inherited her mother’s re...
My wife Melissa and I were staying at my sister-in-law’s house for a weekend during the covid lockdowns. My sister-in-law Emily was lonely and trying to rebound from a difficult relationship. We were there to bring some companionship and joy into her life...
With a decent degree, I was forced to consider the world of work. I started to look, but one of my lecturers said I should consider a master's degree. He further mentioned that the Oxbridge universities were interested in having more post-graduates in my...
During covid, my wife (Melissa) and I went to stay with her younger sister (Emily). Em is an awesome person – warm, welcoming, and completely nonjudgmental. Her boyfriend had moved out a few months earlier, and she was lonely, so we decided to make the dr...
So a bit of background about me... I'm Amanda, and I'm twenty-seven, blonde, and Swedish. I've been living in England for the last eight years with my English husband while my parents and siblings live in Sweden. I've got a younger sister called Vilma (tw...
My name is Nicole. I just celebrated my thirty-fifth birthday last week. It had a double effect on me. It was a very happy day spending it with my parents, grandparents, family, and friends. The only person missing was my sister Marla. She was away busine...
The next few days were uneventful. Rosemary rotated to the afternoon shift at work, and as a result, I would see her very little for the next two weeks since she got home after I was asleep. I would usually wake up so we had a few minutes to chat when she...
I lay back, pondering the sudden change in Emily. “So, Emily, is this the first time you’ve been with a girl?” “Well, years ago we kissed each other, but only to make sure we could before our first boyfriends, but not since, and no, this was the first tim...
I hadn’t seen Emily for a few weeks, wondering if she had had enough of me. The doorbell rang. It was her! Should I think of her more? She had come to apologise that she hadn’t been around or messaged me. It was really busy at work and she had been workin...
Rosemary got home late after her shift at work. Lily and I went about the rest of our day as if nothing had happened. Despite the guilt and sexual tension hanging in the air we got along well, we chatted easily but there was no extended conversation. I fe...
That evening we all sat around the dining table; Mom, Dad, Cadie, and me. My parents' hike had, somewhat predictably, fizzled out into a stroll over a couple of hills and into the local village, no more than a few kilometers from our cabin. Though, to hea...
I woke up late the next day and didn’t stagger into the kitchen for coffee until after eleven. Mila was there but from the looks of things she hadn’t beaten me by much. Neither of us said much for the first ten minutes. Then I noticed a note on the island...
