LOGINShe was watching him towel off, fresh out of a hot shower. Marie’s eyes travelled the length of his white body, taking in his curly pale hair, blue eyes, thin pink lips. She always lingered on her favourite parts of him, his thick, firm fingers, his long, curved cock.
Then Gavin’s eyes began to linger on Marie. Her right foot was firmly planted on a red-velvet-seated golden chair. She was wearing a black vinyl thong and nothing more. She was holding a purple silk scarf. Marie had something in store for him. She reached down and pressed play on the stereo. From the speakers came a song, slow and sensual. Her body began to move to match the tempo. She swayed from side to side, lowering herself to grind in an exotic dance. Then she rose back up, teasing her younger husband with her moves. It was like watching her fifteen years ago. Gavin dropped his towel and walked towards her. Marie took her foot off the chair and nodded towards it. ‘Have a seat,’ she said. ‘I’ve got something special for you.’ Gavin did as he was told, placing his naked ass on the velvet seat. Marie stood in front of him, gliding up and down and side to side to the music. Watching her expert moves, Gavin felt that nothing had changed in fifteen years. True, they had both gotten older. But you couldn’t tell it from the way she moved. Marie leaned back, way back. Her body remembered how it used to be when she was dancing and teasing for dollar bills. He had never begrudged her that, had never made her feel bad about the way she made her money. To Gavin, when she was on that stage, she was the most powerful woman in the world. She had a room full of balls just resting in her palm and all she had to do, if she wanted, squeeze. She quit, the day after they first kissed. Gavin hadn’t promised her a thing. That was how he knew she wasn’t after his money.Marie smiled when she achieved her goal, when she felt his stiff-as-steel erection against the slickness of her thong. And, as she would have done all those years ago, she simply kissed him on the cheek and thanked him for being such a generous and loyal customer. Then she cut off the music and sauntered away. * * * Gavin trusted Marie enough, but he began asking questions around town. After all, a man did have his pride. Both his mother and his sister had heard from Sarah at the cable place that his services had been disconnected for almost 24 hours before he had gone down to pay, and they had demanded to know why. Damn it, he wasn’t a little boy, and he wouldn’t be treated as such. So he went down to Neiman’s to see if his wife had made any big purchases lately. The answer turned out to be no, nothing more than a sweater and some perfume. And he asked Helen over at Bergdorf’s if Marie had special-ordered any suits or bags, but she hadn’t done so much as walk by the department store in the past six months. He suddenly realised that, since Marie had begun covering up her spending by giving him the most intoxicating and mind-blowing sex he had ever experienced in his life, she hadn’t bought a single ridiculously overpriced thing. It began to make him wonder. If she wasn’t buying anything for herself, what was she doing? Was she buying something for someone else? Was she buying something else? Out-of-the-way hotel rooms perhaps? Expensive dinners for a new boy toy maybe? How foolish of him to think that a woman like her could be satisfied with just him for the rest of her life. Of course she was getting bored. Of course she wanted something new and exciting to tickle her fancy. Dear lord, was some other man tickling his wife’s fancy? Gavin was pacing back and forth across the living room. He couldn’t bring himself to go to work that morning, he was so upset with worry. It had all gone too far now.Was she … But there she was, coming through the door. ‘Marie, are you buying cock?’ He walked straight up to her and screamed it in her face. He didn’t care about her shock. He didn’t care that she looked hurt. Marie was an older woman, a smart woman. She was good at playing on his feelings. ‘Buying what?’ Marie took a few uneven steps backward and placed her hands on her thin waist. ‘You heard me. I asked you if you were spending your damned money on some fucking new stud. Now you answer me.’ Gavin’s face was flushed with rage. He had never been an insecure man, not like this. The emotion felt foreign to him. He didn’t like it at all. Marie looked him up and down, as if he was a stranger, and stormed out of the room. She returned just a few minutes later with an envelope. She dropped it on the coffee table between them. ‘Open it,’ she spat out. Gavin hesitantly obeyed. He found what appeared to be a very elaborate and very expensive fishing trip to Alaska, complete with lessons. Gavin was speechless. Marie was not. ‘You should feel like a complete pile of shit,’ she said. He nodded. ‘Another man, indeed,’ she continued. She took off her uniform apron and hung it on the coat-rack near the front door. ‘I know,’ Gavin said. ‘How the hell could you?’She glanced back sharply at him. ‘I know,’ Gavin said again. ‘I ought to slap the hell out of you.’ She drew her hand swiftly back to do just that, but Gavin grabbed it and pulled her to him instead. Then he kissed her, squeezing her ass, finally and silently agreeing with his older and wiser wife.* * * ‘It’s not all about the money, honey.’ Gavin listened to the words roll off Marie’s sweet little tongue. She was right; it was hardly about the money at all. It was mostly about him and her, her and him, which was why they were mostly into fishing these days, rather than punching a clock and bringing home a check. Fishing and making love, that is. Gavin put his line down, reached over and did the same to Marie’s. They could wait for a tug while he lay back and stroked the few strands of grey in her hair. That sure was sexy. She sure was sexy, with her bare feet and long, flowing skirt. She didn’t bother with a bra underneath his sleeveless shirt. She was always wearing his shirts, and sometimes his shorts too. Gavin thought that was sexy. He eased Marie onto her back on the damp spring grass. Fuck the line. Fuck the fish. Fuck the money. Right now, he wanted to thoroughly fuck his forty-six-year-old honey.The sun hung low over the bustling campus of the University of Lagos, casting long shadows across the cracked pavements where students hurried between lectures. It was the kind of afternoon that promised rain—thick clouds gathering like unspoken worries. For Amaka, a 22-year-old final-year student in Business Administration, those worries had just become a storm. She clutched her result slip in her trembling hands, the paper crinkling under her fingers as she stared at the failing grades glaring back at her. Marketing: D. Accounting: F. Business Law: E. How? She had studied hard, pulled all-nighters in the library, sacrificed weekends with friends. But the numbers did not lie. No signing out ceremony for her. No cap and gown, no tossing her mortarboard into the air with the rest of her class. Instead, an extra year—maybe more—if she did not fix this. Tears blurred her vision as she sat on a bench near the faculty building, the chatter of excited final-year students around her feelin
My phone lit up at exactly 12:03 a.m., dragging me out of that hazy space between sleep and awake. I squinted at the screen, heart stuttering when I saw the name: Jacob. Mona’s boyfriend. My best friend’s boyfriend. I should have ignored it. Instead, I opened the message. Jacob: Can’t stop thinking about you tonight, Soma. My stomach flipped. Another text came before I could process the first. Jacob: You’re so fucking sexy. Always have been. That little black dress you wore last week? Killed me. Heat rushed through me, traitorous and instant. I typed back with shaking fingers. Me: You’re with Mona. This isn’t okay. He sent a voice note. God, I knew I shouldn’t play it, but I did, volume low, pressed to my ear. His voice was rough, intimate, like he was whispering right against my skin. “Soma… you’re gorgeous. Those curves, that laugh, the way you bite your lip when you’re nervous… I’ve wanted you for so long. Mona’s sweet, but she’s lazy, boring in bed, everywhere. You’re dif
Nova’s POV“Mum, please… you don’t understand.” My voice softened, almost breaking. “I can’t work with Davis—let alone live with him. I’ll find another tech company, I promise. Just not his, please. I’ll do better, I’ll behave, I swear. Just… don’t make me do this, Mum.”She sighed, her voice firm yet gentle. “No, sweetheart, it’s safer working with your brother. You won’t be so stressed”.“Trust me, I was once an intern. I know how tough it can be, how some sultry men try to take advantage of young girls, and I won’t want that for you. My decision is final, Nova. You’ll thank me later.”I didn’t say another word. I just turned away quietly, the lump in my throat tightening and went straight to my room, throwing myself onto the bed.“Ugh,Mom is so difficult,” I muttered, groaning into the pillow. “She always thinks Davis is the perfect son.”Tch, that same Davis whose eyes strip me naked every time he looks at me, his gaze so hungry it’s like he’s already fucking me in his head.Bac
“N-no. Just… tired.” I shook my head fast and gripped the edge of the seat until my fingers ached.He started driving with one hand on the wheel and the other resting casually on his thigh. Every bump in the road made the toy shift and thrust inside me; my pussy clenched around it, soaking wet and making soft, filthy sounds if anyone had been listening closely enough. I crossed my legs and hunched forward, trying to hide how badly I was shaking.“Sit up straight,” Damien said calmly.I obeyed without thinking. The new angle made the toy hit a spot that sent stars exploding behind my eyes, and a tiny whimper escaped me before I could stop it. His eyes flicked over. “You’re flushed. Are you sick?”I shook my head again and bit down on my knuckle. The toy was relentless now—thrusting, vibrating, rubbing right against my g-spot until my nipples stood hard against my thin top. The drive home felt endless. I was panting quietly, trying so hard to stay silent that my hips started rocking on
I floated down from the high with my legs still shaky, cleaned up in the bathroom, then collapsed face-down on the bed like a starfish and let sleep take me under. When I finally woke, the sky outside my window had already turned dark. A car door slammed somewhere below, followed almost immediately by my mother’s loud, bright laugh echoing through the house.“Lila! Mom’s home!”She didn’t knock. She simply pushed my door open with Damien right behind her, both of them dressed for something formal—Mom in diamonds, Damien in a sharp black suit that made him look even more severe than usual. “We have a charity gala tonight,” she said while checking her earrings in my mirror. “Be good, study or whatever. We’ll be back late.”I stood by the window and watched their Bentley disappear down the long driveway until the house felt too quiet, too empty. Thirty minutes later the front door opened again. My heart jumped hard against my ribs. They couldn’t possibly be back already. I grabbed the fi
Inside my bedroom I kicked off my heels and dropped into the chair in front of my laptop. The silk of my dress still clung to my skin from the evening. I opened Eclipse—the members-only app I’d been slipping into for weeks. Most people there just wanted quick hookups. The anonymity was what kept pulling me back.A new friend request sat waiting. No real photo, just the default silhouette. Username: Shadow37. I accepted.Shadow37: You’re really 20?Me: Yes. College sophomore. You?Shadow37: 37. That bother you?Me: No. I go by how I feel.The typing bubble appeared, vanished, then came back.Shadow37: We could try something online first. Light control. You interested?My pulse jumped. I typed before I could second-guess it.Me: Okay… but no face on camera. And I won’t make any noise.Shadow37: Good girl.The words sent a shiver straight down my spine. A video call request appeared almost immediately.I grabbed the laptop, moved to the thick rug in the corner, and covered the camera wit
It couldn’t be. I studied the cover more closely. It absolutely, definitely was him. Those eyes, high cheekbones, broad shoulders. OK, I’d seen him fully clothed and on the cover of His Best Performance he wore only a pair of swimming trunks – tiny, tight, yellow – but I recognised him beyond doubt.
I glanced up from my crossword puzzle as the bell above the shop door tinkled. A man, broad shoulders, bright white smile and wearing black wraparound shades, strode into the warren of dusty shelves and cabinets. He moved with purpose, the material of his jeans hugging the tops of his long thighs an
So, maybe the car was gone. Maybe she had spent the money on some outrageous thing. Maybe he’d one day know what it was and maybe he wouldn’t. But for now, Gavin thought, fuck the car, and fuck the walk. Gavin was going to fuck his wife in this old-fashioned swing that hung from this big oak tree
If you called her a cougar or whatever hot-to-trot name the kids had come up with these days, Marie was liable to curse you out. She was anything but anybody’s cradle robber. Marie was simply Marie, an older woman who happened to be married to a younger man, and who happened to still have the goods
