It was my sixtieth birthday. I was running my fifteenth half marathon in three hundred sixty-five days to qualify for the "Saturn" level in Half Fanatics. I could have gotten by with twelve, but I didn't want to just get in. The level below 'Saturn' is 'Uranus'. I know it's high school humor, but I didn't want to tell anyone I was 'Uranus,' so I did a few mo...
--Part Ten - The Letter -- Following the day trip with Jonah, I limited my visits to once or maybe twice a week. On two occasions, Jonah was home. I no longer needed to bring coffee because little did I know; one of the items found in our box of garage sale leftovers was a coffee pot that worked. This little fact caused me a lot of internal conflict. For th...
We were back in our bungalow washing off the salt water prior to meeting back at the central palapa for lunch. Since we'd finished our last dive and returned to the resort with the rest of the dive group fully naked it didn't take too long to get out to our outdoor shower. I'd brought the underwear we'd been using as swimsuits up to that point to wash them o...
I thought it was really weird when I received the random text from my step mother, even though I had known her for most of my adult life as my father's new wife we had never really been close. Hell, for that matter I had never really been close to my father either, he was always pulling long hours at the office when I was young, so he was never around. Nowad...
He outdid himself this time. What the hell was he thinking? This was definitely the craziest gift I'd ever received. Still, it didn't stop the wide smile and throbbing between my legs while I envisioned my semi-mysterious secret admirer. In the wee hours of this cold, mid-January morning—three-fourteen a.m. to be exact—most people around my cookie-cutter ne...
"You are supposed to be going to the East with my husband," I hiss at John, pulling him aside in the unnaturally empty corridor. All of the men of court seem to have been given a task by Henry - he has sent them to the West or the North to gain support, or he has sent them to the South to settle discontent, or he has taken them with him as advisors to his ba...
I slept around the clock for two days straight. I vaguely remembered getting up and using the bathroom once or twice and then wolfing down a can of raviolis and drinking a soda before falling into bed again. I had worked the long Alaska construction season that summer and I was physically as well as emotionally exhausted from all the work of the season, my d...
This short story is meant to be fun and light-hearted! It is told by the heroine, who is a closet exhibitionist, as she is 'reluctantly' put into embarrassing and uncomfortable situations by her voyeur husband. She thinks highly of herself; but in a fun, innocent way! Regrettably, I removed the original stories from this series about a year ago, after postin...
Interlude Brett always preferred older and mature women in his younger days. He had enjoyed a marriage with one for ten great years and had a wonderful son together with her. He always felt it signaled confidence and maturity, being with a woman two years older than himself. He had loved his life with her and was heartbroken when she suddenly passed, the re...
As usual my editor ScarlettKisses has made a great job. Thank you. ---------- Sarah and I have been marriage for about 40 years. Being just as attractive today as she was the first time I saw her, I have noticed that men still looked languishing at her. Her nice but somewhat restrained behavior in the social life had made it interesting to many people to...
