Even without the combined heat of battle and sex, their bodies were saturated. Luis had his shirt open to catch any slight breeze that might happen along. Beads of sweat glistened on his chest before trickling away across his stomach. Maria was in similar condition. She picked up one of their water canteens, removed her blouse and poured cool water over her...
A car alarm blared on the street outside my bedroom window. Drowsily, I woke, grabbing my alarm clock off the stand to check the time. 6:27. Perfect. I groaned as my head fell back onto the pillow. Get up. Don't be lazy, thought one half of my brain. The other half immediately responded: Just hit the snooze button once the alarm goes off. Thirteen more m...
I have stopped in at the local nightclub, Celebrations, on a couple of occasions after the new management took over and renamed the club. Before the make over, the joint was a sports bar named Barnaby's. The new owners must have thought that renaming the club would bring in a more diverse crowd. It brought in a younger crowd, if that's an improvement. The...
(A special thanks to Duchess Naoko Smith for editing and flogging when needed. Any errors, omissions, unsafe sex, or my incorrigible run-on sentences are mine alone.) * "Fuck... me," I manage to get out. And not in a good hot and bothered way either. Loose rock and pebbles continue to fall around me, a few unlucky ones making contact as I lie in an unorg...
Jessica C. is 40 years old. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband and two sons. She works full-time as a mom and part-time as a reference librarian. * I come from a fairly conservative Catholic background. My parents didn't say a word about sex to me, except when my mother gave me a scientific facts-of-life talk when I was nine. I didn't really disc...
"Well. Okay. I knew I shouldn't have left." Mike Turner was more resigned to his situation than angry. He had taken an unknown side road out of Leavenworth to try to skirt the Kansas Highway Patrol's closing of K-7 due to near blizzard conditions. He just wanted to get home though hotel he was in had been just fine. Now, visibility less than a quarter mi...
I sighed heavily as I opened the front door and locked it behind me. Another day's work at the restaurant finally over. I placed my keys in the bowl in the entryway, hung up my purse and coat on the rack, and dropped my umbrella in the holder. I proceeded into the living room, where I glanced through the mail on the coffee table before flopping onto the couc...
I blame my initial naivety on my parents – just so you know, I'm not naïve any more. I, Amy, was the fourth child and the only girl of a well-to-do family with a significant history in our part of the United States. I was pampered and protected not only by my mother and my three brothers, but by my nanny. All of them paled, in comparison, with my father, t...
I remember the day I made my decision to switch to the medical profession. I had to undergo a full physical exam for the office where I had applied before they would hire me. I had been to the Doctor many times, of course. Mostly the usual stuff from growing up, minor illnesses, and one broken thumb from a fall off a bike. I was 18 when Mom took me in for...
When I was a young man of only 19, I decided to go to church for the first time in my life. No, I hadn't seen Jesus, and I wasn't concerned about burning in hell. My mother and I had just moved to the West Coast, and I didn't know a person for a thousand miles, so I thought that it would be a good place to make some acquaintances. After all, didn't they have...
