Alexander Martin

Just your average male author who likes to write Erotic stories. My stories are lengthy and detailed; if you are looking for a short story or stories that go straight to the sex, then my stories are not for you. I like to put more detail and depth into my characters before the good stuff begins. Most of my stories have interracial themes and cheating or affairs, so be warned. Also, the females in my stories have larger-than-average breast sizes. If any of the above is part of your kink or piques interest, you have come to the right place.

Chapter One: How it starts

The rhythmic bumping on the wall between his room and his roommate's room forced him into the living room. It was no better out there. He turned the volume on the game console up. But it did nothing to mask his best friend's loud screaming and moaning.

He sighed and turned the game off, surrendering to his room where all he could hear was the wall bumping. He looked over at the clock.

I have to be up in two hours, guys! he yelled.

Oh shit! he heard his roommate say. Sorry, bro! the roommate yelled back.

There was silence for a few minutes, then the door opened.

Sorry, Brian, we didn't know it was so late, Scarlett said. Come in later. I will smooth it over with Jake, she said before closing the door.

Fuck that! Brian said. I won't come in at all. Smooth that over! he mumbled to himself.

But true to his nature, he showed up to work directly on time. He punched in on the time clock and got to work at his desk.

Thought you were coming in late? Jake, his boss, asked as he looked over the cubicle wall, Scarlett said you weren't feeling well.

Nah, it blew over, Brian lied. Jake nodded.

Thanks for coming in. But if you're sick, that wouldn't help any of us, Jake pointed out. Take the day off. You got the sick time to cover for it, he walked away from Brian's cubicle and towards his office. That was not a request! Jake shouted as he slammed his office door.

Brian sighed and got up. It wasn't that he didn't want to take the day off, but he saved those sick hours for a vacation he had planned. Scarlett met him at the elevator.

What are you doing here? she asked as she exited. The doors to the elevator closed behind her.

Thanks a bunch! Brian said sarcastically.

What's going on? Scarlett asked, grabbing his arm and pulling him away from the elevator. They were best friends, practically brother and sister. She looked up into his eyes.

I have to take the day off, Brian said, rolling his eyes. Jake thinks I am sick, and you know how he is with germs, Brian scoffed.

Scarlett, who by her namesake was an actual redhead and not the bottle-dyed kind, smiled up at her towering friend. She loved it when he scoffed and acted like a big baby. She always made fun of him, saying, The big black guy acting like a four-year-old.

The two made for an odd pairing. Scarlett was barely at the five-foot-three mark, but Brian was six-foot-six, so the height comparison was fun to look at whenever they stood beside each other. 

Brian was very dark-skinned, but she was as pale as a ghost except for the few times she went to get a tan. He had a bald head, while she had long red hair almost touching her butt. He was muscular. She was skinny. The two were a very odd couple to look at when they were together.

I will talk to him, Scarlett sighed as she shook her head. Go home and play your game, she smiled.

He nodded back at her.

The thing with Scarlett was that no one could ever tell her no. In all the years Brian had known her, he had never met anyone who could say no directly to her face. 

If she wanted something, she was getting it, no doubt about it. She always said she used her powers for good, never for evil. Which, for the most part, was right. She had never made someone do something they didn't want to do.

Say hi, to what's her face for me, Scarlett smiled and walked away.

Gloria, Brian yelled as the elevators closed.

Brian was playing his online game on his computer when he heard the front door to the apartment close. He could hear his roommate stomping around outside. Shaking his head, he decided he was going to take a break.

Give me a minute, roommate is home, Brian said into his mic.

Okay, I will go let the dogs out, Gloria replied.

The two of them were an online item. Brian had never been into online dating. That was until he started playing this game. Now he couldn't go a day without hearing from or seeing Gloria on their long daily video chats.

Hey, didn't know you were home, the roommate said, staring at Brian with a surprised look. Brian looked at his roommate's door, confused. He swore he had heard the door close.

Yeah, Brian said, turning to look at the room. Got sent home early, he looked back at the roommate. Who was on his phone. Brian heard the chime of a phone go off in the bedroom. He looked over at the roommate, who was shaking his head. What the fuck is going on? Brian asked angrily. He had set Scarlett and this guy up after Scarlett had seen him in a skateboarding magazine.

Look... the guy said, holding his hands up defensively. Your friend is excellent. I mean, really good as a girlfriend and all.

But? Brian said, circling the little island table in the kitchen. The roommate circled the other way to avoid him.

Come on! That temper! the guy said. From zero to bitch in one second flat! he shook his head.

Brian stopped. Of course, he could pound this guy into the floor if he wanted to, but Scarlett was a big girl. She could handle this herself.

Sit! Brian yelled and pointed to the sofa. The guy nodded. He ran over to the couch and sat down. You in the room. Come out here! Brian yelled.

A petite blonde girl came out, looking down at the guy.

Jake? What's going on here? she asked.

Did you know he was fucking my best friend in that room just a few hours ago? Brian asked the blonde.

No! she looked down at Jake in disgust.

Come on! I changed the sheets! he said, throwing his hand up.

Fuck you! the blonde said, giving him the finger and walking out.

What the fuck, dude? Jake asked,
