I work in a bed shop. I won't tell you which one, but I'll say it's quite well-known, and has some 'z's in its name. I've worked here for nearly three years, since I finished my A-levels, and I'm going to be promoted soon. The pay's okay, and I get a bonus every time I sell one of the more expensive beds. I'm the best saleswoman here. Melissa, the head of sa...
Closing her book and sweeping both hands through her curly brown hair, Heather White crossed and uncrossed her long legs knowing what that was about. A storm was coming in from the southeast and that always made her feel sexy. At all other times it took a guy to be pressing her button before she became interested in sex. The nearby town's assistant libraria...
My old Honda 1100 was really getting long in the tooth. After twenty years and 37,000 miles reliability was becoming a question. So I took the plunge and splurged on a new 600 sportbike. Hearing that my old bike would soon be sold, my wife's sister Fran surprised me by inquiring through my wife if I would take her for a ride on it. Now I've known Fran for...
I met my wife 8 years ago, at a football game. My weeks were largely spent in Omaha, on a 2-year consulting project. Thursday nights I flew home to Atlanta, though on occasion would stay in Omaha and sample the night life there, for a change of pace. In September 94 a co-worker invited me to go to a Nebraska football game, in Lincoln, about an hour away....
((Please pardon the present tense instead of past.. my writing sucked back then)) Darkness This is all he can see at this moment. Darkness. The lights aren't off. His eyes are covered. They're covered in a fine tight material, smooth and silky. He reaches to touch it and finds his hands are bound together, but still free to move in front of him. He can he...
If you have never seen a dead body, the first thing that hits you is the smell; the more brutal the murder, the more pungent the stench. When Jim Springer arrived on the scene the smell was overpowering. Tied to a chair in the park was his ex wife Janet, her throat cut and the finger where the wedding band had been was removed. At that moment, the only forc...
The merchant seaman was at the stern-rail, unhooking the fish they'd caught on the long-lines trailing behind the ship, when the explosion blew him overboard.... He had shipped aboard on this tramp steamer as a last resort. An American, he'd had to do some fast talking to get a berth on this Uruguayan vessel. But they were short-handed, and needed experienc...
It begins to rain harder and he holds his briefcase over his head. He stands outside an upscale, Lower Manhattan restaurant just having finished a gathering with business partners. He looks down the street in hopes of taxi. Nothing. "Cripes, I am going to be soaked to the bone." he thinks as he begins to walk north towards the subway. A block away he sto...
My husband and I have this silly little Christmas tradition, which we've observed every year since we married. Each Christmas Eve, Steve goes out for a drink with his mates while I get the girls round for a few cocktails. Then, around midnight, he comes home, dresses up in a ratty old Santa Claus outfit, creeps into the bedroom and, erm, gives me my first pr...
I was winning big. The fun, though, was wrung out by the two ladies ridding my skill and luck and yakking about something on the rare times I lost at Blackjack. They wanted every hand, not just the two of three I was bringing in. I should have sat on either end of the table, not the middle. Looking around, my eyes caught the strong and slender back of a dark...
