THE CRUISE – BARCELONA TO MIAMI It seemed that I lay lay down on the bed, fell asleep and woke up instantly. Looking at the clock I could see that I'd slept right at eight hours ... and I rarely slept more than six. I was on my balcony watching the harbor when I saw a cruise ship docking, close to eight-thirty. I couldn't quite see the name but I could tel...

Memories and Moonlight: A narrative from Ms. Gimply's collection I. Anticipating and Remembering It was a beautiful afternoon in late October. The sun was still far above the horizon.

I'd been lucky enough to be in the right place at th...
To regular readers of my raunchy stories: Bless you, and I hope there are many of you, but please be advised: There is no sex in this chapter, except a reference to what led to the divorce of one of the protagonists. The second one will have a fair amount, as he and his female counterpart make up for lost time. If you just want to read smut, you might prefer...

It all started with a call from my old service buddy Brian. "Hey, Manny, we're having a beach party in three weeks at John's house. We want to have one last get together before Allison gets too big to go out." Finals were coming up, but when people are celebrating the impending birth of your best friend's first son, you show up even if it's inconvenient. I...

A little bit north of there is the land between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, it's called the Kingdom. Trenton was right on the Illinois River, with the riv...
