Mary and Carl had been married for 13 years. Of late, Carl had become much more obsessed with work and his position in the company. Mary was growing tired of the constant attention that her husband's ego required. Most people don't realize just how much energy it takes to support a spouse emotionally, they just divorce and move on these days. It was late af...
It was a box. Or possibly a crate - wooden sides with a bit of plastic on the side containing what I'd think was a packing slip. No visible marks otherwise. No 'fragile' (which my mind nearly always reads mentally as fra-jill-ay) or other stamped text. Just a decent sized box (crate?) sitting on the second step of the little concrete steps leading to my fron...
The sun poked into the break in the blinds this morning alerting me to the speed in which the day was already passing. Without hesitation, I flipped the light cotton quilt off my naked body and bounced to my feet. There were things to do, and a great many places to go today. The first of those places was the gym. In a promise made to myself and in statement...
Ray walked through the crowded aisles of Cashmon's Army-Navy Store. It was a favorite place for him to find unusual items for his unusal avocation - his role of Master Ray, Dominant to a small clientele of submissive women with whom he had occasional sessions, always at their behest. Cashmon's was on the outskirts of town, along a freight rail line and some...
"A diver?" "Yes, in a diving suit. Well, it's a fancy dress party, so you have to wear something appropriate." I sighed. "Can't I just go as an accountant or something. They're easy to dress up as." Alice pouted. "Aww, and I went to such trouble to get this for you." And then she smiled up at me, "And I do think it would look quite sexy on you!" I kn...
"Give it to her in the back door!" Someone yelled. The costumed crowd hooted and laughed. I felt sick. I leaned against the bookshelf, bumping my head against the wood and staring at a worn copy of Aldus Huxley's 'Brave New World'. This was humiliating. It had all started earlier in the night, while I stood in the kitchen pouring liquid green Jello into gl...
DISCLAIMER: Everyone DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER IN ANY WAY THAT INVOLVES ANYTHING REMOTELY SEXUAL IS OVER THE AGE OF 18. *** I'd been shy most of my life and I was more likely found with a book in hand, reading in a quiet corner of the school grounds every recess and lunch break. I'd walk home, still reading, and always alone. It wasn't t...
As the sunny day blossomed into a glorious afternoon, Holly and David lay very close together on the blanket spread out on the soft cushion of the rug. He lay on his back with Holly on top of him, her hands on his shoulders; her cheek nestled in that special valley of his chest where she could hear his heart beat. "Oh, David," she said, pressing herself dow...
Aathan was asleep. Floating. Dreaming. He hung motionless in the zero-g inside the padded chamber that was his bedroom on the Moebius. He could have slept in a bed, strapped in by a blanket like cargo, but he preferred to float free. His dreams were a jumble of cell biology experiments and being sexually ravaged by an alien woman with six hands. She looked s...
Ami shook her head in disgust. What was the matter with her? This was the third time tonight she had lost track of her studies. A natural speed reader, she could usually get through her nightly assignments in a little over an hour. Tonight though, after almost an hour and a half, she wasn't even close to finished. Worse, she couldn't name what was distractin...
