Chapter 1 He checked his face in the small mirror hanging on the tent post. Satisfied, he wiped the blade of the cutthroat razor and placed it against its twin in the leather case. The razors had belonged to his Grandfather, liberated from the saddle bags of an Ulan officer during the First World War. He slipped on his shirt shivering in the cold, morning...
Work was dragging on. It was a dark, rainy day, and apparently, most customers decided to stay home. I started to miss the bustling rush of business from earlier in the week. At least the time went fast then. I decided to find a magazine to keep me occupied. As I walked over to the rack of magazines, he walked in. He--my mystery crush--was a customer I rarel...
We drove to the airport and on the way I held her leg rubbing the inside and occasionally coming all the way up to her young lips but I refrained from playing with her right now. She was so young and so pretty with the perfect little body. Her tan looked good with her shoulders exposed in the sun dress. Her mother got in the car next to me and gave me a li...
I had been home from Iraq about a week. When you first get back to the states everything seems new, and somehow fresh. Food taste better and colors are vibrant. Aside from relief from the heat, and the alternating of excitement and boredom, what Iraq needs most is color. It's a place made up of various shades of tan and brown. My wife, Donna, and I had, of...
She was as nervous as hell. She had given up smoking as a teenager, but wished that right now she had a pack of cigarettes in her handbag. Anything to stop her shaking with nerves. She had chosen her outfit carefully. The black push-up bra with matching thigh high lace panties. The black dress that ended an inch above her knee and had the keyhole cut out to...
Debbie stood in front of the bathroom mirror and smoothed her eyebrows. She ran a brush through her short layered hair and gave it a liberal dousing of White Rain. She recently had cut it short, short like that actress on the tv show "Law and Order SVU". Cut it short at the request of her husband Mike. She turned the bathroom light off and walked into the be...
We were way out in the country. I knew that from things he'd casually told me. But I also knew it was hobby farm, gentrified country, five acre lots pigeon holed for the upper middle class and above, who wanted to raise their babies away from the mean city streets. I knew most of the trees on the hundred or so acres had been cut down so the new owners could...
We know that discipline is essential to a healthy marriage, but it can be beneficial to health in other ways too. My wife has been a heavy smoker for many years. After a friend died from lung cancer she finally decided recently that she wanted to give up, but she didn't do anything about it. A few days after she had said that she was going to quit I told he...
I just got home from work at the local coffee shop; it's around 3 in the afternoon, about the same time I get home every day during the week. I recently graduated from high school and I'm working this job until I decide what I'm going to do next. I live alone with my mom, my father left us when I was 11 years old, and I'm 18 now. My memories of Dad are that...
Mistress Ursula sat in her high backed throne. As usual she looked aloof, serene, confident, perfect. She was wearing black patent leather knee-high boots with polished steel 5-inch spike heels. A close observer would have detected a slight discolouration near the tip of those heels. Clearly the slave had inadequately washed his own blood from them with his...
