Caesar stepped into the expansive peristyle garden of Marcus Crassus, one of the last to arrive at the symposium. He estimated the number of guests at thirty. Crassus was infamous for his over-the-top entertainments, which was likely Roxanna's reason for having chosen this event for Caesar's 'official debut.' He had been under Roxanna's tutelage for just ove...
We had pretty much cleaned up everything by the time her parents' boat re-appeared on the horizon. May had gone against type and put on a pair of panties under her shorts because she "didn't wanna lose any more of (my) stuff from inside" her. It made me sad to know that she felt upset about my leaving and was trying hard not to show it. I was really tempted...
My secretary and I had had a couple lousy sexual encounters. They didn't amount to anything worthwhile, except for one additional number on my "women" scoreboard. I ponder; both of us may have been driven by melancholy rather than genuine love or attraction. After that, bodily contact was suspended in lieu of a strict working relationship. My rational decisi...
Dear Shoeblossom Men call me a tease. I guess I come by it naturally. I love getting guys in trouble. I remember when I was about nineteen or twenty, getting to know my new stepbrother. Mom had married a fire-and-brimstone preacher type, he was rich, and I think later she got sick of him monitoring her TV time and then she took him for a lot of cash. But...
Chapter 03: French Lessons Sunday Freeman, the old preacher at the Church of Love and Equality had invited Jamal, his granddaughter's friend into the Church's dining hall. He smiled warmly as he swung open a big wooden arched door into a room with a long, sturdy looking, wooden table, laden with food, although most of it had been eaten. The preacher book tw...
I guess I should start my story two years ago, when Richard first joined the company. At the time, I was working as a clerk in the accounts payable department. The job involved some occasional light bookkeeping, but was no challenge for someone with an accounting degree, like myself. Richard was hired as a senior bookkeeper in the accounts payable department...
You ask me, dear friend, what the latest, Phase 5, genegineering procedures have done for us, as you are wondering whether to go for them yourself when they become available there. Well, the best way to recommend them is just to describe how we make love now. I know you two have the basic capabilities we have all had for a century, plus Phase 4. We daily re...
It was really the first beautiful day of Spring...snow was almost gone, trees were budding, it was actually warm enough for shorts and a t shirt! But I had a late afternoon class, and it was Friday no less! The last thing any of us wanted to do was to sit in a classroom on a day like this, so Lit class was going to seem like forever! Dr. McHugh was a good t...
Strange things fall from the sky all the time. In 1934, sixteen people in a small community just outside of San Diego died during a storm that produced hailstones the size of softballs. Michel Tebiere, a landscape gardener in the South of France was struck by lightning 37 times in a six year period and survived without incident. In 1978, a woman in a small c...
"Two eight four!" I just about pee myself. Two guards came into the unit as another prisoner and I are mopping the floor. Our work assignment. "Two eight four!" the lead guard yells again. The last three numbers of my I.D. I step forward and he wraps a 'soft cuff' around my left wrist and pushed a button on his device. Both my arms fall to my side like dea...
