Make Me

by Charlotte Stein

  So I put him out of his misery.

  ‘Make me feel it,’ I tell him and, oh, he does. He fucks in once, hard, and Tyler in turn fucks into me, then all three of us moan, like some sort of chain reaction. Brandon’s cock shoves against what must be Tyler’s prostate, if Tyler’s response is anything to go by, and Tyler shoves into me.

  I cry out and beg them both to go harder, before I die of wanting it. Oh, I want it. I want them both, right now, like this – hips churning and cocks as hard as iron, squirming and working sweatily over me until I really am dying.

  Or coming.

  Whichever comes first.

  ‘Mmmm, yeah you’re making me do it,’ I think I say, though I can’t be sure. I’m a mess of sensation, clinging to Tyler’s shoulders, feeling each juddering thrust, and then finally, finally: the pleasure lets go. It bursts around Tyler’s still working cock, prompting him into a kind of release I’ve never seen him give.

  He doesn’t even make a sound when it washes over him. He just squeezes his eyes tight shut and opens his mouth, wordlessly expressing what I’ve just experienced first hand—the most incredible orgasm of my life. It’s so intense that I’m still feeling it a minute later, when Brandon grunts and tells us both what he’s about to do.

  ‘I’m going to go off,’ he says, like it’s some kind of miracle. At last, at last, he gets to come – and in Tyler’s ass, no less.

  But that’s not the thing that I remember, once it’s over and we’re sprawled in a heap on the floor. Instead, I end up thinking of the look on Tyler’s face when I say to him what I found pretty easy to say to Brandon. I give it to Bran after he’s curled against my side, and told me those words again.

  ‘I love you,’ I say. ‘I love you.’

  Then I say it to Tyler, too.

  And after his eyes have gone all startled and his body has finished tensing, I realise something pretty fundamental. It wasn’t a joke, that thought I had. He really is an emotionless robot, enjoying the company of his two little sex pets.

  And I’m a fool to imagine there’s anything more.

  I’m sure I’m a fool.

  I’m a fool, aren’t I?

  Chapter Ten

  I try to sneak out before both of them wake up. Mainly because I suspect – no, in fact I know – that if I say I need to go back home to get some stuff, they’ll try to stop me. They’ll suggest a road trip together, and then we’ll pile into the car and probably end up having sex in my apartment, too, and I won’t have a second to breathe.

  I just need one second. A little slip of time, to get myself together and be certain that this is what I want, before returning.

  Even though I know I don’t really need any time at all. I spent last night writing, for the first time in years. I didn’t think about the library, or my future – I didn’t even really think about Tyler and Brandon. I just thought about all the things my life could be now, if I wanted it enough.

  I could have love, and sex, and happiness. I could actually work at this bar with my two best friends, and in the evenings … well. It’s pretty obvious what’s going to be happening in the evenings. And in the afternoons. And all the time.

  Yeah, it’s obvious all right.

  I’m going to be the sort of person I always wished I was. Soon, soon – once I’ve gathered my shit together and called the library and done a bunch of other things. Tyler’s said I can sublet, if I want, and live in this flat. But if I’m going to do that there’s got to be arrangements made.

  And furniture brought over. They don’t even have a wardrobe, in here – though I think it says something that I hadn’t noticed until now. I hadn’t noticed a lot of things – like how closed off Tyler is, for example. I always thought he was really emphatic and open, an extrovert to Brandon’s introvert.

  But I guess things just seem that way, on the surface.

  He definitely looks all surface, when he emerges from the bedroom and catches me in the act. A fake smile plasters itself over his face and he does something Tyler-esque, like clasping the back of a chair in his two big hands.

  Look how immense I am, that move says. Look how slick.

  Even if he doesn’t seem that slick in his words. ‘You going?’ he asks, and I can hear the other question, underneath. For good?

  Though for some reason, I don’t feel like jumping to his rescue. Clearly, he’s an emotional robot. He’s not sure how to have feelings. But equally transparent is the idea that he wants me to stay.

  In fact, I can make it out so keenly that my insides jump for joy. Tyler, handsome and golden and perfect, wants me – Maisie the Librarian – to stay.

  ‘Well, I thought I might …’ I tell him, and then I do something very bad indeed. I don’t finish the sentence, and instead leave him to fill in the rest: Yeah, I could be going for good. What do you want to do about it? What do you want to say?

  Though I’m betting he’ll go with something warm but slightly aloof, like You know I’m very fond of you, Maisie – and that’s OK. It’s enough to let me know that I’m not just here for sex toy reasons, and even if he can’t quite go with it I can see it in his expression.

  There’s something like feeling there.

  ‘So you’re not going to take me up on the job offer?’

  ‘Maybe.’

  ‘And there’s nothing I could do to persuade you either way?’ he asks, though it’s not the words that affect me. It’s the way he glides towards me, slow and almost predatory. I’m pinned to the door before I know where I am, but I have to say I don’t mind in the slightest.

  I don’t mind any of this, and never have. He has to know I never have. I’ll never leave him, or Bran, again – not ever.

  ‘Make me,’ I tell him, and he does. He looks at me with the same soft eyes Brandon always offers, and says the words I didn’t think he could: ‘I love you. I love you – stay.’

  Improper Conduct: Misbehaviour at Work – Various

  Ten erotica stories about inappropriate behaviour at work and the colleagues who go all the way on company time.

  The workplace is never exclusively a place for hard graft, tedium and ambition. As we spend over half of our adult lives at work, it has long been a pressure cooker of unrequited desire, barely disguised lust, sexual manipulation, and obsessions for colleagues thinly disguised by professionalism, duty and formality. Which is precisely why Mischief commissioned ten erotica short stories to pursue the explicit shenanigans of work mates who just can’t contain themselves.

  Girls, Girls, Girls: Guy Free Fun – Various

  Ten single-sex liaisons that make straight women curious and drive men wild.

  Sapphic love has proven to be one of the most enduring forms of erotic pleasure since the first frolicking nymphs were painted upon the side of amphorae. But the secret love of women, without male participation, will never be old hat, because there will always be something deliciously forbidden and titillatingly taboo about the seductions, indiscretions and trysts of one woman with another. And Mischief wouldn’t be a leading publisher of erotica if it didn’t explore, update and let loose these very special feminine lusts of one girl for another.
