Hope checked out her reflection in a building front's window while her girlfriends continued jauntily down darkening Main Street in Dallas's Deep Ellum. The jazzy, upscale area of the city's entertainment district was hours away from revving itself up into full party mode. Hope's cousin Lacy had wanted to get out—and home again—early, tomorrow being her wedd...
Friday We have been married for over 20 years now, with two kids away at University, good jobs and a nice home so everything in life seems good. We have enjoyed all sorts of swinging adventures too, ever keen to try and push the boundaries of our sexuality. We are regulars at a swingers club, had threesomes with friends and my brother, Jayne even experienci...
"Enjoying the scenery again?" my wife Aliza asked me. "You know me so well." "Here we are, having a nice romantic Valentine's weekend without the kids and you can't stop looking at other women." The words could have been harsh, but Aliza was chuckling as she spoke. "It was your idea to come back to the scene of the..." I began to respond, but found myse...
I do okay. I'm good at my job, have two great kids in college and a wife that is incredible. I don't mean she is a super model, but she is a great role model. If my girls turn out exactly like her, I will consider myself fortunate. She is my partner, my best friend, my financial advisor, my playmate, and the best lover a man could ever hope for. In short, Su...
As I walked into the bar and looked around, I didn't see him. Glancing at my watch, I realized that I was a little early, so I walked over to the end of the bar and sat down, making sure I was in a good vantage point to see him when he arrived (but far enough away from the main crowd so we could have some privacy). Signaling the bartender, I ordered a SoCo L...
New York is a wonderful place, but in Early Spring it can sometimes be miserable. Especially for a Cab driver. Tuesday night is usually a good night for a Hack. But this night my fare box wasn't even half full. A bone chilling rain fell all day, chasing most of the business off the streets. The gratuities were plentiful, so the night wasn't a complete wa...
It was one of those visual images that had stuck with me for twenty years: flying across Lake Michigan at night, window seat, watching the thin line of lights on the western horizon slowly unfold, brighten and expand. Chicago: a giant wheel of lights, moving and stationary, radiating from the hub; defined and edged by the inky black void of the lake. So it...
NPOV "Evan! Get your ass down here if you want to go!" My idiot brother was taking his sweet time getting ready. We were just going to his bar. I didn't understand what the big fucking deal was. He owned the place for God's sake. It's not like the patrons hadn't seen him in his everyday clothes. "Dude, chill the fuck out." Evan finally came down the stair...
"Another Manhattan, Miss?" the bartender asked from behind the posh bar. "No, that's ok," I replied. Best to pace myself on an empty stomach. I took the last sip of the sweet drink and felt the warmth trickle down my throat. Toying with the cherry stem between my fingers, I glanced again at my watch. Twenty minutes late. This can't bode well. * * * * * "Y...
It was his habit to buy a lottery scratch ticket whenever he was in the Jewel store. The machine was conveniently located just after the checkout counters. His regular purchase was a $5 Bingo card. As with all lottery tickets, it contained a four digit number that confirmed the amount of the win. In theory, one could simply uncover this code and have the age...
