Several years ago I had an opportunity to go out of town with my 'work wife' over the Valentine's Day week. Both of us had been experiencing rough times with our spouses, despite our best efforts, and neither of us had sex in many months. When we arrived in Minnesota for our class, I realized I had forgotten to pack underwear. Gina was delighted to help me...
College life wasn't as fun as Katie had imagined it, even though she had survived her freshman year and now was a "sophisticated" sophomore. Sure, it was nice to be independent, and going to school in Sunny Florida was a nice departure from her home in Maine – especially since it was now well into Fall. Her sorority life was good – she got along with almost...
He was going to leave it at that. It had been this way for a couple of weeks. Was the romance going out of their relationship? "We should take two cars today, babe," Kyle said in a low voice. He was turned away from her, sitting on the bed, not looking at her. His hand went for the pack of cigarettes sitting beside an ash tray on the nightstand. But the han...
My wife has told me about a few different clubbing and Halloween costumes she'd worn back in the days before we met. Early on, her costume consisted of nothing at all. She went once as a nude sunbather, wearing only a sunhat, shaded glasses, and sandals, with a beach towel over one arm. Another time as a statue, with just a thin scarf, loose around her sho...
"What are you going to be for my Halloween party?" A simple question, really, but one I had been avoiding. My friend and co-worker, Jackie stared at me as she waited for the answer. "You know, when I was a kid, I loved dressing up for Halloween. Free candy and all that. Now. I am a 35-year-old man. Who wants to see me dressed up as Superman or Batman. No...
JOEL gripped his program as he watched the play. The actors playing Don Quixote and Sancho Panza rode up to the inn, to ask if there was any room for weary travelers. Joel had seen Man Of La Mancha many, many times, and knew that this is the point in the story where Aldonza, the whore, enters. Now, it's not in the play script that "ALDONZA, in a leather bust...
Chapter 1 - Friday Night on the Town "How about this one?" My roommate April was browsing the back pages of the local underground newspaper. "Grand Opening," she read out. "Club Latex! Love to dominate? Live to serve? Or just curious? Everyone welcome!" I looked up from my book. "Are you nuts? I just suggested we try something a little different tonight....
I had always loved dressing up for Halloween as a child and wearing fancy and colorful costumes and pretending to be someone else, even if only for a few hours. I truly looked forward to it all year, and getting to go to school dressed up and show off our costumes. The class parties where the teachers would bring in usually homemade treats, or the male teach...

I had known Dianne since she was 10. We kind of grew up together, our parents being part of a big extended family group that got together regularly. She was a few years younger than me, and we had never been close enough for anything to happen really. One afternoon years ago, I remember being at her parents place having a swim. She must have been eighteen an...
