Chapter 16 The Morning AfterThe next morning they were quiet with each other. When Lauren was ready she zipped up her overnight bag and went out into the hallway, closing the door to her hotel room behind her. She turned and saw Carmen sitting on an upholstered bench by the elevator bank, with her overnight bag, ready to go. "Been waiting long?" "No, just g...
Her lustrous fiery tresses flowed halfway down her back, loose curls swirling seductively around her shoulders and catching on the fabric of her pretty floral cocktail dress. Of course I knew who she was -- it was hard to imagine there was anyone who wouldn't know -- but this was the first time I'd seen The Muse in the flesh. And it was Valentine's Day! I wa...
"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center." ― Kurt Vonnegut "What up, señor?" I launched my wee hour text into cyberspace. "Good morning, sir," came Vegas Vic's rejoinder. V-2 was enslaved graveyard shift ― five days a week. "What do you wanna work for?...

Every time the conversation turned to sex we would get really turned on and rub on each other. He had been telling me about these parties for months and I was so excited that he was taking me. I hoped that the first time we fucked w...
As strange as it sounds, this never would have happened were it not for our refrigerator. But before I share our appliance-created story, let me share a little bit about my wife Lea and I. Lea and I have been married for almost 25 years and have 4 wonderful children ranging from elementary school to college. We met while attending college and from the mome...
I remember it like yesterday. I was 18 and I just moved to Florida to live with my dad. He and my mom had divorced when I was seven and a year after the divorce was final, he moved to the Sunshine state. So after I graduated from high school, I moved there to spend time with him and to get to know him better. When I got there he was dating a bitch named De...
This is purely an experiment to get writing. I do not know where this story will evolve. It is something of a break from the massive series which I am also working on... but more of a forgivable weekly sprint to see where a story will take me. My goal is to publish every week.
