It was lunch-time and most of the staff were out, or closeted in their office w...

She had been cooped up under the glare of fluorescent office lighting for the past six months and she figured she could use some vitamin D. Without opening her eyes, Mel reached over to...
Time dragged on and I pined for her. My every thought was tainted with the image of her, with the imagined taste and smell and feel of her. Linda was driving me mad, and if she had any idea she hid it very well. I needed desperately to be with her, but she had shown no interest in other women, and I didn't know how to coax her into such an encounter. I did h...
