Author's Note: Warning, there will be some (non-sexual) violence in this chapter. Also, I'm not an expert on self defense.

It had been over a week since Stew and Sherry had their evening of sexual abandon with Stephanie and Rich. They had talked about it several times. Neither seemed one hundred percent sure if they wanted to do it again, regardless of how amazing it had been. "I don't know," said Stew, "Seeing you with Rich was hot, but, I don't know. I feel like I should be j...

My college roommate, Mary, and I boarded the flight to San Diego on our way to the Super Bowl. Mary had just lost her virginity with my help. As a result of the circumstances surrounding that event we had received two free tickets to the big game. Not only that, but after our double-team on the professor, Stephen Chandler, Ph.D., who donated the tickets,...
