I was sitting at my office desk enjoying a midmorning coffee, my executive administrative research assistant had brought me. She had put artificial sugar in it. As a result, I was threatening to drink tea instead because I liked my tea black. I was reflecting on ways I could proceed on an ongoing copyright matter that I need resolved yesterday. The problem w...
To the untrained eye, Demicno was a rundown office building in the heart of downtown Mesa, Arizona. The stucco was as sepia as the sand that blew into the doorway on the day the woman in the suede miniskirt walked through that door. The building was modest, an office area with a single desk next to a large table piled with cases and information she took on w...
NOT LIKELY I was standing at the bar I frequented when I spied a group of young women. They looked older than college girls. I assumed it was one of those 'Girls Night Out' events. All of the girls were attractive, but as I watched, there were only three of them accepting dances and drinks from the men. The fourth was the most attractive: tall, slim, long b...
Chapter 2 Despite working late the night before, reading the operation doc and doing web research, April came in early the next day. She felt she had a handle on what needed to happen to fulfill the operation goals and had printed out various documents to distribute at the morning briefing. As she went to the conference room, she stopped before opening th...

With the pending birth of their own child the young couple gave little attention to the affairs of their parents. Jeff was also concerned about Royce who for several weeks complained of a lack of energy. After some pushing from Jeff he had a doctor's appointment scheduled when he got back from a planning conference. The early panic that Pam had in those fi...
The class was English Composition and I'd been given three papers to write. I'd been given the subject for the first two and they were already written and turned in. The third paper was to be on whatever I could think of. The paper was actually one that should have been done in freshman year, but because of all the credit hours I'd accrued in the Army I was...
I nursed my beer and watched the group sitting on the other side of the room. They were bikers, but they weren't. By that I mean they were all wearing riding leathers and had brain buckets on the floor next to their chairs, but there were no colors on display, no pony tails and beards and what skin I saw was free of tattoos. Three guys and four girls who lik...
No explicit sex. "You'll have to make your own dinner tonight." That's the way my wife greeted me when I got home from work that Friday evening. Helen walked into the living room fiddling with an earring. "I'm going out dancing with friends." I stared at her in disbelief. She was wearing a short black dress with a plunging neckline held up by four spaghet...
