They warned me about him, obviously. "If he orders baked oysters, he's going to try to fuck you," I recall Atis saying, as I stare at the waiter bringing baked oysters to our table. I asked Atis if she had gone out with Mathieu before. She said no, but she knew two other girls from the dorm who had, Alice and Gwinny. They both slept with him on the first da...
All characters in this story are age 18 or older. * Inwardly I groaned. A man in love is not supposed to be going around poking virgins. Sleeping with other people, she knew I did that, but Christ! "I take it the lady is of legal age." "She is eighteen. It is past time." Clarke looked affronted. That's your opinion, buddy, I thought. What about what she...

Note: All characters in this story are over 18. ** It's risky, I know, but I'm willing to chance it. Todd might not even show up; I barely know him, after all. He works on the 12th floor, which is mostly financial positions. He could be in accounting perhaps but that doesn't really seem fitting. Maybe an investor, though he doesn't tend to dress the par...
As told by Marilyn, Single Female, 48 I finished reading the note for the second time, and looked up at him again. "Did you read this?" He seemed surprised. "Oh, no, Ma'am, it was sealed by Mrs. Clarke, herself, and I delivered it the same condition." I folded it and stuck it in my pocket. "Do you know what it says?" He shuffled his big feet, scratched h...

Misty's sobbing continued all the way to Valentina's bedroom. The security man at the door let her in. Misty didn't see Valentina in the room, so she crawled to the tiles that had been set in front of the sofa, and kneeling upon them waited for the Goddess. While she was surprised by Emilia's sudden attack, and still in pain from the vicious slaps to her fa...
