Every person in my University classes knew the stories and escapades of Miss Anna Eleanor Richards; she wasn't particularly coy about her adventures and had little objection with explicit candour. I was certain her phone number was on half the mens' toilet walls in the block; a hypocritical response from immature male students when faced with women in control of her sexuality. I never saw any of the promiscuous men get shamed because of their dalliances.
But Anna was Anna; she never missed a night out and was never scared of who saw her and in what state. She arrived at the "PJ Party" at the student bar in a wonderful black negligee, that left very little to the imagination. She was unexpectedly naked at the Toga Party and the Tarts and Vicars 80s Extravaganza was an opportunity to wear an outfit that the local sex shop would have refused to sell because it was too risquΓ©.
However, her reputation wasn't based on her racy attire or lack of inhibitions, but was founded on the stories of her sex life. Most of the men on my course had claimed to have had a one-night stand with her; I knew many were revealing long-held fantasies rather than recent encounters, but the term "I had an Anna last night" became slang for an overnight fuck. She never cared what people said about her; it never bothered her.
I was one of the few men that had never truly crossed Anna's path; I had had a steady girlfriend from my first year until a few months before graduation and my love would not have enjoyed the thought of me playing away with the blonde-haired buxom beauty that had enchanted so many of my peers.
As it was, her attitude was highly hypocritical, as my long-standing girlfriend's favourite pastime in the afternoon was bent over her teaching's assistant's desk while he fucked her doggy-style.
The secrets, rather than the sex, upset me; I was the last person to know. Our relationship was completely unsalvageable after we had the most public of all rows across the University courtyard. You can't call your girlfriend such abhorrent names in front of hundreds of people and then fix it all with a simple apology.
Dave - one of the more popular students on my course, and someone who I was only mildly acquainted with - did his best to cheer me up. He did the only thing he knew - lashings of beer and an invitation to a party. His birthday celebrations.
The freshly-turned 21-year-old engaged in some mild arm-twisting and I joined the rowdy crowd of twenty students who hit the student bar, the local nightclub and then crashed into the living room in his student house for more drinking and hedonistic celebration.
It was a warm night; many of his guests lounged in chairs, on the floor or in the garden from their excessive alcohol consumption. I watched the less comatose revellers play spin the bottle and then start on more drinking games. For the first time that evening, I registered Anna in the corner of the room; her body stirred. Her body-hugging black dress had ridden up, exposing the tops of her stockings and revealing her lack of underwear. I glanced for a few seconds longer than was gentlemanly.
She rose to her feet, staggering slightly. I put my hands out to help her gain her balance. It is often said that strangers make up their minds about a person within the first few seconds of meeting them; she smiled at me and I smiled back. A warm, welcoming smile with her bright red lips and turquoise blue eyes. She murmured her appreciation, as she got up to say good night to her host. She said she didn't want to stay for the drinking games and watch Dave and his friends vomit the night away. I agreed with her, and offered to walk her home.
She accepted.
We may have both been very tipsy, but the two-mile walk from Dave's student house to Anna's campus flat was an enjoyable time spent with a truly engaging young lady. I made her laugh with ease, she made me smile and my cheating ex didn't even enter my thoughts. Given Anna's reputation, it would be easy to believe we fucked that night, but we didn't. I walked her home, she kissed me to thank me and we went our separate ways; the only part of our bodies that touched - other than our hands - were our lips.
It would have stayed like that if Dave hadn't passed me Anna's phone number on a piece of paper the following day with a short message, "she said she wants you to ring."
We watched a film in her bedroom that night with a bottle of wine and popcorn; I saw her topless but nothing happened. Nothing ever did. For two months, she was either with me in the evening, or with a short-term partner; I saw her naked multiple times but I was firmly in a category of "men she knew who she didn't fuck." There was no-one else on that lonely island.
It would have stayed like that until we graduated if the night of her class party hadn't happened. Anna and I arranged to meet at her flat at 11pm to watch something on television; I had an essay to finish before the end of my course and my delectable friend was going to an end-of-term fancy-dress party dressed as the Easter bunny, as imagined by the Playboy Mansion.
It was inevitable she would get male attention; Anna always did. It was also inevitable the alcohol consumption on an empty stomach would send her tipsy. I had arrived early and a naked man wordlessly let me into Anna's shared six-bedroom flat, arranged around a communal bathroom, lounge and kitchen. The sounds of Anna fucking were not alien to me; the sights and smells were. Her bedroom door was open; her costume discarded over the sofa.
"You've come to bang her?" He asked, despite never having met me before. "I told Martin to send anyone who wanted a quick fuck. She's fucking gagging for it." There were two men on the bed with her, three men watching in her cramped bedroom. Her hair was matted with cum; several full, discarded condoms lay in and around her bin and her room smelt of sexual exertion.
Anna was living up to her bog wall reputation. She never recoiled when she saw me; she never stopped, but simply beamed her Hollywood smile and replaced her lips around the jutting erection of an overweight classmate.
While I watched and waited, five guys fucked her before I did; a couple more got blowjobs. Each guy pistonned his prick deep into the shaven snatch of my slutty soulmate, before unloading into a wafer thin condom. And then replaced. I lost count of Anna's climaxes; many times she had confessed to me that a long-held fantasy of hers was being the subject of a gangbang and that night she had made it come true.
