The college had originally been built between a leafy wood and an open plain; a sizable stream ran practically past its door. The first students used to paddle in those crystal waters, giggling as tiny fish brushed against their ankles.

With one last gasp, Celeste pulled Bruce into her writhing body. Her toes curled inward as her legs gripped the backs of Bruce’s thighs.

Glenda and I had been friends since grade school. While it was true that most of our meetings had been in school, we had been to each other’s houses many times. Glenda was one of these girls who did not attract much attention. She was pretty but not really beautiful. It was really hard to […]
