I. Take the afternoon, said Mr Hubert. There was no need for both of them to sit with the girls and be bored to horsehair in Madame Salle's villa all afternoon. Courtesy visits, he added dryly, and didn't she need to do anything? Postcards home, or something. They'd see her in the evening, sometime after supper. Not too late. She could sort something out on...
This is part 5 of my "Pet" series. I should have named the chapters better but got carried away. Part 1 is "Pet Needs Good Home." Part 2 is "Pet Has Good Home." Part 3 is "Pet and Friend at Home." Part 4 is "Pet and Mistress Sunday Morning." * This is only 15 minutes after Part 4, about 10:00am Feeling sexy, I saunter out of my bedroom with a sensuous...
I'd had it with Mason. His affairs, one right after the other, had begun to push me over the edge. My favorite decorator, on her knees in my new den with his penis in her mouth, was the straw that broke the camel's back. That night in our bedroom, I laid down the law. "We will not divorce for the sake of our child. You and I will sleep in separate wings of...
Amber stepped into her apartment after a long day of classes. She could hear Mandy in the next room, and a constant, quiet sound. As Amber turned the corner, she saw Mandy painting their kitchen a soft blue. It was called Baby Blue, and they'd both agreed on it at the paint store when they'd shopped there nearly a week ago. Since it was their senior year a...
“Okay counsel, your witness” The judge said as he motioned to the prosecuting attorney. The prosecutor stood, straightened his suit jacket and approached me as I continued to sit on the witness stand. “Mrs. DeFrancisco, how long did you know the victim, Miss Simmons?” “Since we, I mean my husband and I moved to Arlington,” I answered. “And how long was th...
Sarah sighed wearily as she saw the blinking light telling her there was a 'chatter' waiting and clicked on 'enter chat.' The whole thing was a new venture for her law firm in an attempt to connect with the younger generation. The idea was that people could go to the corporate website and if they couldn't find the information they needed then they could 'c...
John, my husband of twenty years, pulled his head out of the newspaper one morning at breakfast and out of the blue said, "I think you should hire a maid for you-personal attendant, so to speak." It was one of the few times a month he was home for breakfast and one of the even fewer times he actually started a conversation with me. I held my toast in mid-ai...

My first real job out of school was not the greatest, but the ladies in my department made it tolerable for a couple of years until I found something better. It's amazing how a measly two years in a standard office job made my resume improve. I even had training and professional references to add. Naturally my boss at Widgets Inc. (not the real name) was a...
"I can't believe she's even old enough to have a boyfriend." I leaned in to whisper my words to Gretchen as we cuddled together on the couch. Gretchen's head was tucked under my chin as we shared both a spoon and a pint of Haagan-Daas—just like old times. "Time didn't stop when you left, you know." Janie tossed the length of her honey-colored hair over her...
