It was a hot summer day with not a cloud in the sky. Kayaking was her favorite hobby and always took her mind off whatever stresses or loneliness she was feeling from her mundane life. Jen slowed down a bit until she came upon a fork in the river with a small island in between. She spotted an area that consisted of field grass and weeds that looked to be a...
As the red hull of the canoe moved smoothly through a slight chop on the lake, Danny dipped his paddle and pulled strongly toward the far side. It was a near-perfect day on the lake; sunny, a light breeze and the smell of summer in the air. In the stern, Danny had his sites set on the far side of the lake, a spot he knew would hold some voracious trout. Thi...
I've taken three years of German language class. I did that because it's the requirement to go on the trip to Germany with the class. The class was taught by one of the sexiest women I've ever encountered and she just so happened to flirt with me every chance she got. It got to the point where the class thought we had a thing until I waved it off. The teach...
The wedding was, as countless guests had commented, "simply lovely." My sister had wed her boyfriend of five years at a mountain resort in Montana in the late afternoon sun, and I have to admit, it was beautiful. I dislike formal weddings, as does my sister, and her outdoorsy touch was everywhere: no bridesmaids' dresses, no veil, no predictable wedding musi...
Katara's POV "It's not getting away from me this time. Watch and learn, Katara. This is how you catch a fish." your brother tells you. You lean over the edge of the canoe and see a fish. Hesitantly, you remove your left glove, you takes a deep breath and with a look of trepidation begins to motion with your exposed hand. Suddenly, the globe of wate...

Three of the girls were sitting on the sofa with me, playing strip poker, when Julie came down the basement stairs dressed in a short skirt and halter type top. When Julia saw me sitting there she came over and stated, "Hey Mike, w...
I felt like I had been in the car for days. I came out to the place I was headed earlier to pick the right spot and get a few things set up. As I made the last couple turns I wondered if one of the cars behind me was Kelsey... I had not met her face to face yet but we had been talking for quite a while. I turned off the road into the gravel parking lot. Th...
Ben and Paul slid the canoes from the back of Paul's pickup and down to the edge of the river. Liz was unloading the supplies from the back of the truck. They were about to embark on a two night trip down the river, a trip that Paul and Liz had taken many times before. It was a first time for Ben and he wasn't at all sure about doing it. Being on water wasn'...
Lynn carried her beach bag and small cooler down the grassy hill to the river's edge. She loved it here, it was one of her favorite places in the world, with the winding river and the bubbling sound it made as it flowed over logs and rocks, and the beautiful, heavily wooded area that provided shade and privacy for her. They were mostly cedar trees and pines,...
While the nights I'd spent at the hotel with each of Amy and Ellen had been memorable, there was something nice about being back on the yacht as a single family. If there was any lose end it was Tash. The nights at the hotel had been avowedly for my lovers in an emotional sense and Tash was more comfortable excluding herself from that category; something I...
