This is an edited version of the original chapter. I made quite a few minor alterations to the text, but resisted making major changes. As a result, the chapter is still rather wordy in places. I should also warn you that there is a long build up over the story (hey, it's romance), so no sex in this installment. -------------------- Alessandro drummed h...
I'm still early, and the people at the airport desks are not yet ready to take in our suitcases. I have to wait behind a rope until the staff allows me to come; nervously I watch the time go by. Once more, I check the tickets and passports—time and date on the tickets are correct, and the names are spelled exactly the same way as in our passports. Fortunat...
Life had been very kind to me. I had been born into a family with some social status and a modest income, I had been well educated by my father, and I had been blessed with a reasonably pleasant face and a sound, healthy physique. Moreover, I had experienced certain titillating events in my childhood that many men older than my current eighteen years would b...
All in the family Bablee and Adrian were talking about school, and Jimmy told them about his job. He told them to stay in school as long as possible, because work sucked. Bablee giggled over this, as she was twenty-six and shouldn't have been sent back to high school. A woman in the corporation had mistaken her for her husband's niece, and thought she was...
When Lillian was just a young lass of fourteen years, she was sent to an all-girls' boarding school in a bland, concrete-saturated town far, far away from her home town. There she had met a young girl who knew her way around the school – the hierarchies, halls, and much, much more – who went by the birth name of Kate. Kate also had a brother that...
Sara and I were sitting by a boarding gate at Miami International, waiting for our flight to St. George. We traveled between the States and St. George a great deal and had become friendly with many of the flight crews who worked this run. However, the flight attendant who picked up the PA microphone this morning was new to us. She was a pert blonde with a wi...
When you first glanced at her face, Shari looked like she was fresh out of middle school instead of a twenty-year-old woman. Standing a petite five-feet, she had a pretty Chinese face that was framed with straight jet-black hair that fell to the middle of her back. When she giggled, her almond-shaped eyes twinkled, her cute nose wrinkled, and her sweet dimin...

Hello. My name is Becky. I'm a thirty-nine-year-old teacher of English, and I'm delighted to testify on the subject of open marriage. It wasn't my mother's bag; but as I matured, my friends and their standards helped me evolve--not revolt--from my Quaker heritage. Actually, in boarding school my sexuality had raged, frustrated and confused, in my petite body...
Fencing is a difficult and dangerous job. To be effective, fence posts need to be in straight lines and spaced evenly. If there is a five tonne rock or a one hundred year old gum tree where the fence post needed to go, then too bad, the fence needed to be straight. Barbed wire needs to be tight, and applying tension to it is risky. Fencing was normally done...
