This is the opening chapter of School of Love, introducing the characters and the school. All students at the School of Love are over 18. **** I arrived in Lausanne, eager to take up my new post as a tutor at the exclusive École Château de l'Amour. All my interviews for the job had taken place in London, including a rather extensive medical. I was here an...
"Tokyo!?!" Alex said, looking up from his book in shock. "We leave in 3 weeks," Sophie enthused, weeks of pent up excitement finally bursting free. "Last year you surprised me with the trip to Parrot Cay, now it's my turn. So...my mum is coming to look after the kids, and then..." "Wait, wait, wait," he interrupted, "Tokyo...as in Japan?

1. Sophie was trapped at the back of the bar. She'd made the mistake of walking in alone and being a woman at the same time.

A warm day in late summer. September. Annie and I were in Quebec for our annual Get Away Weekend, our twelfth year. It was a blending of leaving all your worries behind and having the free time to fuck like teen-agers.

Dmitri waved at us as he got into his car. We waved back. Then Elizabeth turned to me. "Interesting fellow," she said. "I like him." I laughed. "You can say it. He's weird.

Marie smiled at her Cajun husband, looking into his eyes she wondered if they had enough time for a handjob. "Mon cher!" He snapped. "Are you listening?" "Yes, yes." She replied trying to remember the plan. "He goes into his room, you kick in...
Jonathan stood with a foot on the bar rail sipping at his drink. This was his first visit to the Canadian Capital, and he was dreading it already! That very morning it was forty Degrees Celsius when he boarded his flight, yet upon landing here it was cold, windy, raining and thirteen. He also found all the French they spoke most confusing, lastly to top it...
