My morning into work was wonderful, everything seemed to happen with purpose and good timing. Traffic into the office was light, I managed to hit all the green lights, there was an empty parking space close to the entrance, even the coffee pot had just finished brewing when I went for a cup. My thoughts of Julie and the previous evening were constantly with...
Becky considered her unlikely situation as she walked down the hall to meet for the first time ever with Mrs. Olivia Blake, the owner of the Centerfield Resort and Country Club. Becky had recently secured the position of assistant marketing director for Centerfield. It was her hope she would retain that title after her meeting with Mrs. Blake. Upon graduati...
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said ""The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function..." The eternal argument about open vs closed marriage; about sharing vs exclusivity is one where I honestly can see both sides. I'm no genius; my wife - and every one else - is very...

Goddamn it, the airport was crowded. Thank God Heather's flight was due to arrive any minute now. It was crazy to think I hadn't seen her...or kissed her...or been inside her for over three months! She had spent the summer abroad in Europe on an all-expenses-paid trip, courtesy of her rich parents. Meanwhile, I'd been stuck here in Massachusetts, taking s...

In real life, all non-monogamous sex should be practiced using accepted safe-sex precautions. Very special thanks to editors Ravenna933 and Sidney43. This is a better story due to their efforts and insight. Any remaining faults a...
All right, all you lawyers, students of the law, or just plain nitpickers, listen up. I don't know shit about law, I drive a forklift for a living. The part of writing fiction I love is just that, it's fiction. I don't know if Alabama even has a three strike law, but for the sake of this story it does.

If ever the devil's plan was made to torment man It was you, Jezebel, it was you... "Jezebel," written in 1951 by Wayne Shanklin, first recorded by Frankie Laine (1951), other recordings by The E...
Chapter One Anna looked into the mirror and gave herself a nod of approval: the dark Porsche glasses nicely finished her disguise job. Normally, Anna didn't mind some attention, or even bucket loads of attention. In fact, she couldn't live without it for extended periods of time. But sometimes, discretion was in place. Today was one of those "undercover" d...
I worked for companies for about thirty years. I always made a decent living. We have a nice home (and mortgage), my daughters have no student loans, we’ve managed to upgrade our cars every few years. So it’s been a good life. But it’s been close to a hand-to-mouth life. If I lost my income for any appreciable time we’d have been in big trouble. But that’s a...
