Author's note and acknowledgements This story has sat on my hard drive for four years now. I wrote it, all twenty chapters and 95,000 words of it in eight days of a frenzied, near trance-like state, sitting on my couch with my wife's laptop. She would occasionally have to remind me to eat. When the dust settled, and I looked up, I realized a couple of...
Chapter Five: the new General I awoke the next day just before sunrise because I wanted to make a good impression. I didn't know who would be training me. I got to the hall about half an hour before anyone else had arrived. "Well, were here early Alexandria!" I turned and saw Jason's father. "Oh! I didn't know you were taking the training." I said. "W...
Chapter 3: Fourth Date "I hear you helped the Browns start their car today," Peggy said. They were on their way to Brian's house. He wondered how she could speak so casually about something he had done that day. Had she forgotten what they were about to do? "Yes, I had to push their car out of the garage so the jumper cables would reach. I'm going over i...
~sigh~ OK, this might go a chapter or two beyond what I'd envisioned. -------------------- Aurora did do it to him the very next Saturday. She caught a ride over with a few of her friends who were going shopping. She made the quick introductions and asked Will if she could use his room to change. He nodded and she went into the house to get her one-piece l...
"Another delivery?" April's boss asked her with a small smile on her lips. She nodded her head at the vase already full of roses of every color on the corner of April's tidy desk. "What is that the 7th rose today?" April picked up the pink rose and stuck it in the opaque glass vase. "It's the seventeenth." she mumbled as she slid the card which had been tie...
Summers seem to have a very strong effect on me. But then I guess lots of people might say that. I wonder, though, how many people have found summers to be so influential on their sex life and sexuality as me? Not many I suspect. I lost my virginity in the school summer holidays when I was eighteen. Later that summer, before going to uni., I had a fling wit...
Mrs Guelf, who owned the photo development store in Brewer, had twin daughters: Gwendolyn and Jessica, 18 years old and still in attendance at Grover Cleveland High. "Those poor Guelf girls," lamented one local Brewer lady. "Both plain as pudding." Indeed their skin was pasty and their mousey hair hung limp. There was a hint- in this, and the prison-like dra...
It was early in the summer, and my wife Meredith was enjoying the first few days of her summer vacation. She teaches fourth grade at the local elementary school, and while I'm the one who brings in the lion's share of the income, I'm the first to admit her job is a lot harder than mine. It usually takes her a week or two to fully unwind after the school year...
I am, and I'm being completely honest here, beautiful. I know I can't take the credit for that, it's just the way nature made me, but that doesn't make me any the less lovely. It's plain for me to see that those people who say beauty isn't everything or, beauty is only skin deep, just don't know what it means to be truly beautiful. Everyone admires you and w...
I knew, by the way he smiled as he unlocked the door that he was feeling frisky. Just a feeling I had. When you get to know someone, really, know someone you can amaze yourself with interpreting even the subtlest of hints. Like when his hand lingered in mine a little too long. A gentle rub of his thumb when his hand's on the small of my back. An intense look...
