I had been planning this in the back of my mind, for sometime, keeping the desire hidden from my husband, and at time from myself, imaging how it would be, what my desires were and how to make it happen. Well it happen yesterday, in Albany, the heat from it was nothing like I dreamed it to be. The desire so intense, the feeling so warm and tingly, my dream h...
Author Notes: Moonlight is a vignette, a brief sketch of a few minutes in the life of a married couple. The sketch gives no hint of why and little of who other than names. I used Mary and John for the couple and Samuel for the lover because they are among the most common names in the Judeo-Christian world. The what happens of the sketch is fifteen minutes in...
The encroaching night is chasing the steam of the day away with a cool breeze from the ocean. It's the time of day when the dying light is at its most explosive, painting the blue sky with streaks of red and orange. And you decide to take a shower. You walk into the room stripping as you make your way to the outdoor shower. You're reflecting on the lazy da...
When my now husband mentioned marriage, I doubt he thought it would lead to a three day inquisition. As a single mother with two failed relationships, I wanted to discuss in depth some obstacles from the past; among them was sex. Admittedly, I have an unusually high sex drive. By the end of my fourteen year marriage, sex had become contentious rather than en...
I felt my beloved husband of five years roll over in bed. I knew what came next; stretching and farting. I smiled softly; pretending to still be asleep. He would sit on the side of our bed for a moment before rising to get ready for another long day at work; leaving me and the baby to sleep away the pre-dawn hours. But this morning, the routine was broken...
We've all been part of those conversations where the question is asked, "So what country did your ancestors come from?" Of course we are supposed to say they are from Kenya or Germany, perhaps India or Mexico. The truth is I don't know. I have a wandering spirit that I suspect I got from my ancestors. So I see my past rooted in a handsome man from Spain, a p...
The stillness of the sunset was startlingly surreal. It was as if I awoke in another place, another world separate from the real one, where the problems of my life melted and floated away on the lingering air. But even I knew, that this false reality would come to an end. All my problems and issues would reappear and everything would be as hard-if not harder...
Elena had cried herself to sleep every night for the past month. Her husband and best friend from high school had been in the Air Force. He enlisted to earn money for college. Sadly, that was a dream that would never come to pass. He had been a cook (under the job title: services.) Unfortunately, the services department got deployed almost as much as pilots...
In Zamindars Part 1, I had described the situation that I witnessed on arriving at my friend Vivek's estate. His father, Subhash (The Thakur) was openly having a sexual relationship with Champa who was 20 years younger to him and the wife of his driver. Part 2 is more about what I saw between Subhash uncle & Champa. Champa was sitting in uncle's lap while h...
After the end of October Halloween party I realised that it would not be long until my January birthday when I would receive a beating. As I had participated in thrashing others I could hardly avoid what was due to me on my reaching thirty. When after joining the company in May and realising what went on I had been filled with a mixture of fear and excitem...
