The next day was raining. The weather was miserable for fall. The trolley was packed. I was drenched during my short walk to work. I dropped my coat and gloves on the rack to let them dry. In the back, the girls were bringing out pans from the chef and starting the morning inventory. I went to work where I overheard two girls gossiping. Una and Tessa were t...
Zubway Zip Up © Literocat 2012 L'etrangier: You'd think the trains would be empty at 2:00 a.m., yet there were at least thirty commuters with me. Where were they all coming from? Much too late to be desk jockies. I don't remember ANY of them being in the sleazy strip club I just left. Damn, those women know how to tease! Mostly young and average looking la...
"Come on, dad! The game is starting!" My eldest son called after me and I tried to keep up the pace. It was easy to get lost in an arena this size, and it was always the biggest headache tracking down one of them when we got separated, so I grabbed my youngest's hand and hurried forward.

Then again, the location was his idea, not hers. She'd...
Sometimes Lena got bored with sex. With just lying there, licking and thrusting and sucking. Sometimes she just wanted to try something new, anything new, just to be doing something different. She said that to Jake, her fuck-buddy friend, while they were having sex. She said she was bored with boring sex and wanted to do something more interesting. Then she...
After the Casino party I once again foreswore alcohol and became a normal, proper girl. No more outrageous exhibitionism, and certainly no more promiscuity. My best friend Mary did the same. Instead we enjoyed our boyfriends, Mike for me, and Tony for Mary. To my surprise Mike seemed OK with this, and only gave me occasional pressure to go on display for oth...
