MasukAVA The morning light was like an unwanted intruder. It filtered through the thin curtains of my childhood bedroom, sharp and unforgiving as though it was trying to chastise me. I tried to roll over, but my body immediately reminded me of everything that had happened in that dark, quiet gazebo last night. My inner thighs were sore with a dull, familiar ache that thrummed between my legs, and my back felt I’d sprained a muscle or two there. I was sore in all the right places, and every bit of that soreness was like a danger sign pointing toward my brother-in-law. I stayed under the covers for a long time, staring at the ceiling. I felt like a different person than the girl who had walked into this house forty-eight hours ago. I was no longer just the black sheep who everyone thought was living a dirty life as a stripper sister. I was now far worse. I had taken something that belonged to Linda—something she had fought to keep through chemo and radiation—and I had done it without a
AVA Just as I was about to speak, My Aunt Janice practically teleported into the garden, her voice shrill as she told us Linda was about to give a toast, and that we were needed inside. The spell had broken instantly. Bradley had vanished back into the light of the dining room, and I had followed a few minutes later, feeling like a criminal despite having done nothing but stand in the dark and heard him confess what might have been his deepest secrets to me. The rest of the dinner had been a fog of forced smiles and clinking glasses. I watched Linda soak up the attention, her hand constantly resting on Bradley’s arm, marking her territory without even trying. I barely ate. Every time Bradley’s hazel eyes drifted toward mine, I felt a spark that made my stomach flip. By midnight, the house had finally settled. The extended family had retreated to guest rooms and local hotels. I was in my childhood bedroom, the walls still covered in old posters that now felt like they bel
AVAThe drive from Los Angeles to my parents' house in the suburbs had felt like a slow descent into a past I tried to outrun. For three years, I’d stayed away, carving out a life that my mother called "a cry for help" and my father simply ignored. Being a stripper in LA wasn't just a job, it was my armor. It was the one thing that was entirely mine, far away from the shadow of my older sister, Linda.The last time I came home was for Linda’s wedding. It had been the event of the decade. She’d met Bradley on a dating site—a real-life US Marine, built like a brick fortress with eyes that could melt steel. They were the golden couple. And then, two years ago, the universe threw a wrench in the perfection: Linda was diagnosed with cancer.The family group chat became a shrine to her resilience. Everyone pulled resources, said novenas, and flew across the country to hold her hand. A year of hell later, she’d come out on the other side miraculously cancer-free. This Thanksgiving wasn't
STEPHANIE It was another regular chaotic day at school. Lockers slammed like cymbals down the corridor while voices bounced off the tile walls and someone shouted across the hall. The air smelled like a nauseating mix of cheap perfume, cafeteria fries, and dry-erase markers. I stepped into the hallway and immediately felt the noise crash over me. To drown it all out, I had my earbuds jammed in, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space blaring loud enough to vibrate my skull. I was leaning into the beat, my sneakers squeaking on the floor as I rounded the corner toward the old wing—the part of the building that was mostly storage and empty classrooms. I was thinking about two days ago. I was thinking about the way the mattress had dipped under Stefan’s weight as he fucked me and the way my room had smelled like him long after he’d left. My heart gave a traitorous little thump just at the memory. Suddenly, the world spun. A hand, large and strong, clamped onto my upper arm and yanked me sid
STEPHANIE I couldn't wait anymore. My body was burning recklessly with an intensity that should be forbidden. I needed to feel his touch. I needed him to take whatever he'd fucking fantasized about. "You're so wet for me, Steph," he whispered, his voice a dark rasp. “Look at you dripping all over your sheets like a little slut.” “Please, Stefan…please.” I whispered in a moan as I tried to squeeze my thighs together just to soothe the ache that was getting more intense with every passing second. “So impatient, huh?” He chuckled darkly, intent on making the ache more unbearable for me. I felt my pussy breathing desperately like it suddenly had a life of its own. Every nerve on my body was on fire. Finally, he gave me what I'd been craving for. He started really slow, his tongue flicking out to taste the very edge of my folds which had been smeared with my juice. I arched my back instinctively, a high-pitched moan escaping my lips even before I could think of biting it back.
STEPHANIE People think Saturday is for resting, but for me it’s the most chaotic day of the week—sheets begging to be changed, and every chore I ignored during the week suddenly demanding my attention. I had a mountain of laundry to fold and a floor that hadn't seen a vacuum in a week, but I wasn't yet in the mood for chores. To get my head in the game, I popped in my earbuds, cranked my favorite playlist, and let the heavy bass of Cardi B’s WAP take over my brain.I was mentally performing. I grabbed the vacuum handle like it was a microphone stand, swaying my hips and twerking as I moved across the rug. I was lost in the rhythm as I sang aloud, mimicking every bold, suggestive move I’d seen in the music video, picturing myself on a stage in front of thousands instead of just my messy bed. I felt powerful, sexy, and completely alone. Until I wasn't. Out of nowhere, a prickly sensation crawled up the back of my neck. I spun around, the vacuum still humming loudly, and nearly
ROSETTA The golden morning light of the Mediterranean filtered through the silk curtains, casting long, amber shadows across the rumpled sheets of the bed. I woke with a start, the heaviness of the previous night settling over me like a thick cloak. I tried to shift, to slip away from the heat ra
KAYLA Our tongues collided against each other, each seeking dominance in a very wet and slurpy kiss. The private elevator became a vacuum of sound and heat, the only noise was our uneven breathing. As the kiss deepened and became much more demanding, he reached over, his eyes locked on mine, a
ELISE“Hello, I'm here to meet my friends, Jayden and Kayden in room number 504.”The receptionist looked up from her screen, a well-rehearsed smile immediately lightning up her face. “What's your name?”“Elise. Elise O’Brien.”She nodded at a bellman to check me in, and we walked to the elevator t
ELISE"Bitch, Are you seriously going to sulk forever over a stupid, bottom-feeding boy like Ryan? Because if so, I’m going to need a refund on this friendship," I snapped, yanking Marie’s hand toward the red and blue neon drenched entrance of The 21st Club. It was easily one of the bubbliest clubs
