Chapter 127 in Perverting St Perpetua's

You’re just filling up the dishwasher after dinner when the doorbell rings. It’s Brianna Ollins, the red headed girl from the Upper Sixth ‘B’ Stream. She’s changed out of her school uniform into a grey t-shirt with an amorphous symbol on the front that emphasises the shape of her...

You’re just filling up the dishwasher after dinner when the doorbell rings. It’s Faye. She’s looking rather fetching in a crumpled grey blouse, ill-fitting but in a way that emphasises her sizable assets, and a black pair of suit trousers. She’s carrying a laptop with her. “Hi n...

“I didn’t take you as a religious man.” “I’m not. I’m just helping Anissa.” She gives you a knowing smile. “Oh, you’re helping Anissa. You won’t get anywhere with her. I’ve seen her at parties, draws all the men, but every man who tries comes away disappointed. The only man she...
