For some time now, my husband makes me pay for shuperu. He doesn’t ask for it like he used to. When we started, he was the one always chasing me for it. I didn’t say no to him. Never. Whenever he was on top, I played my part to make the whole thing exciting. Two children later, he had stopped chasing me. When I go for it, he gives me excuses; “I’m tired let me sleep. Wake me up at dawn and let’s do it.” I would wake him up at dawn and my husband would get angry. We had…
I was her client when we first met. I just had an itch that desperately needed to be scratched that night. That was why I patronized her services. It was meant to be a one-night affair. It’s not as if she treated me with extra care. She did not show me any moves that went beyond the conventional way of intimacy. Everything was average. Yet for some reason, I found myself attached to her in a way I considered abnormal. It was as if I could not have enough of her body. My attachment to her was so strong that…
I had an affair with him to get the job. It was supposed to be a transaction where I gave my body for the job. I did. True to his words, I was given the role a week later. I thought it was going to end there but it didn’t. He would press my chest in his office, he would call me in and play with my body, I would sit on his lap while he worked. When I realized it wasn’t going to stop, I surrendered to his will and became his side chick. We tried our best to…
It all started one Friday when a lady I had not seen before entered our department and headed straight to our team to hand over the names of new staff to be added to the team. She caught my eyes that very moment but I didn’t want to seem too obvious. I had to be a gentleman and pretend I was focused on the task before me. While I was doing this, I was giving her a side eye until she left. When we reported to work the next week, my manager showed up to introduce the new staff to our…
It was late at dawn when the text came in. I was half asleep so the sound got my attention. The phone’s screen was on so I decided to check what the message was about. It came from a woman. A woman whose husband is dating my girlfriend. She wasn’t angry. She was thanking my girlfriend for confirming her suspicion. Before we went to bed that night, my girlfriend was on her phone chatting with someone. She was smiling a lot and typing with speed. When I turned off the light, she put her phone down and we slept. According to…
My wife’s junior sister came to live with us after SHS. I thought it was just a visit but by the time I realized, she was living with us permanently. She isn’t somebody I talk to or play with or engage in any way. She would say good morning and I’ll respond. Sometimes she would serve my food or ask what I would eat. I don’t hate her or hate her presence but there’s nothing to talk about with her. We go to work in the morning and leave the whole house to her. We don’t have children she will take…
On a damp spring morning in the vast lands of Howlett’s Wild Animal Park in the heart of England, Tany Aspen woke up to the sound of birds and the fresh scent of damp earth. The only daughter of Daman Aspen, a visionary conservationist, Tany had an unusual childhood, split between the care of her family and the attention of creatures that, to many, were only figures in documentaries or conservation icons. From a very young age, Tany was introduced to the park’s gorillas. Her father believed that building bonds between humans and animals from an early age could foster…
It was no ordinary day in a small town, where the overcast sky cast a soft sunlight on the old cobbled streets leading to the church. Father Christopher was preparing for evening Mass. The small town was particularly vibrant as the celebration of Corpus Christi was approaching, a holiday that filled the streets with colorful carpets of sawdust and the church with enthusiastic worshippers. “The congregation will love it. I think it will be a great explanation of the meaning of the Eucharist, which symbolizes the body and blood of Christ,” muttered the priest as he walked towards the church,…
Mia, a small girl standing barely 1.40 m tall, with a slender figure and a youthful face that appeared to be no older than 10, was in a distressing state. She wore a simple white dress, and her large, round eyes reflected pain and fear. Her swollen abdomen contrasted sharply with her small body. Beside her, Liam, a man whose face was marked by anguish and worry, ran into the hospital carrying the girl in his arms, shouting desperately, “Doctor, please, she’s about to give birth!” Liam’s shouts echoed down the hospital corridors, attracting the attention of everyone present. The…
