Free Use Neighbor
Evelyn Wild
Turning on the porch light means you're available. Every house on the street is lit.
Nineteen-year-old Sienna signs up for a summer house swap to escape the boyfriend who called her a slut for kissing two girls at a bar. The quiet suburban cul-de-sac seems perfect. Then she finds the covenant card in the kitchen drawer: every resident of Briarwood Estates grants mutual sexual access. Her porch light has been on since she arrived.
The first neighbor walks through her unlocked back door on Sunday morning. By the barbecue on Saturday, the married couple next door is teaching her things her ex never imagined. The pool, the back deck, the clubhouse: every corner of Briarwood strips away another inhibition she was shamed for having. Men, women, groups. Sienna stops counting and starts craving.
Then Ryan drives into the cul-de-sac to drag her home, and Sienna has to choose: hide what she's become, or let him watch.
