Taylor saw a trick. A green Honda Civic was slowing down and, yes, the guy was nodding at her. She walked to the driver's window as fast as she could, though slower than usual because of the irritation on the ball of her left foot. "Can you tell me which way to Kroger's?" he asked. Damn. She knew and gave the fucker directions. A pretty, slightly built Af...
Two - Second Daughter's Friend It had been just about 6 weeks since I got the cast for my broken arm. I had fallen getting into the shower after answering a phone call. My daughters were the ones who found me when they had arrived for me to take them out for a family dinner that evening. It was rather embarrassing that they had seen me naked, but it was g...
The sun was bright and I had a hard time making it to the video store. The sunlight was not as dazzling inside, and it felt cooler to my eyes. I moved up and down the aisles. Comedy. Children's. Headed the wrong way, I thought, so I turned around and wandered back the other way. Ah, here it is. Romance. I sat down on the floor next to my video. There were...
I have a story to tell that is strange but true. It happened a couple of years ago, but the mystery still remains. At the time, I was attending a small private college in the Northeast. I met the most fantastic girl in the first week of my junior year. She was tall and slim with dancing blue eyes. She had shoulder length blonde hair, long beautiful legs, an...
OK, sometimes I can be a little dense. I’ve always considered myself to be a fairly perceptive person. I’m aware of my surroundings and usually able to discern meaning from context, to condense fact from the vapor of nuance. I suppose that it’s when the nuance is aimed at me that I develop a blind spot. Tracy had been cutting my hair for about a year. I ha...
"So, you will do it?" I asked Linda over the phone. "Sure, why not, lover?" she replied. "It will be a gas!" "Okay...I will be there at seven, sharp." I put down the receiver and thought of the wild evening to come. I dressed in my shortest shorts, white t-shirt, and heels. Then I drove to Eric's house, and he greeted me at the door. I kissed him a brief...
The next morning at dawn we continued our journey, nodding twice to passing riders but otherwise seeing no one until we pulled into the outskirts of the settlement around the fort. We spent the next two days trading with different merchants and catching up on the news of the world. It seemed that there were ever more rumors about a war between the north and...
Note: Though I think this story can stand alone, the early part will make more sense if you have already read "Lisa finds a Way..." Thanks for reading! ***** Amanda woke with a start, bleary-eyed but able to see that the time on her phone's screen began with a 6, too early for her liking; seeing the phone call was from her friend Ryan she answered, starti...
You've been gone four days in Illinois. I bought a new chair while you were gone. Red leather, rich and dark like the walls of a Pompeian brothel. The first thing I notice about the new leather armchair is its smell, like animals and barnyards. As soon as the delivery men leave, I throw myself onto it, rolling and sliding and sniffing the dark red earthines...
I had only been with her for a few hours, just enough time for her to pick me up at LAX and drive me to her and her husband’s place out in the country. Kristen and I had ‘known’ each other for over six months although it had all been online. For four of those months we had been voracious lovers, doing the dirty deed constantly – online of course. We were mad...
