In my car on my way home I feel the stresses of the work day slowly start to disappear as you cross my mind. I know you're at home already, waiting for me and a smile crosses my face as I think of how you were this morning. Sleeping so peacefully as I woke up, pretending to stay asleep as I got up out of bed to get dressed, peeking at me out of the corner of...
I didn't know where we were going. They never told me. I was in the passenger seat, John was driving, and David had his face between us, his arms on the tops of our seats as he leaned forward from the backseat. He was begging for disaster if John were to slam on the brakes. John was my boyfriend, but not for much longer if things didn't straighten themselv...
Let me tell you about my boyfriend Mark. If I asked you to guess his age, I'll bet you'd say late thirties, just like everyone else does. Well, you wouldn't even be close – Mark turned sixty this year. There's not a trace of flab or wrinkle on his splediferous physique nor a grey hair anywhere, although that might be more about the fact that he shaves everyt...
This, as so many of my recent tales have been, is based on true events. Names have been changed to protect any semblance of innocence we could find. If feedback warrants I will continue the story and tell you all the second half of it. "I've got a strange favor to ask you," Her lips pursed together in a pout at the end of the sentence, and for the briefest...
I picked you up at the door, waiting patiently as you finished dressing and preparing for our evening together. You were very nicely dressed, a pink skirt with a light pink blouse, tastefully hugging your wonderful body but not garishly and rudely showing it off. Your heels were quite erotic, I do love those 1940s mock heels, especially when they're 4 to 6 i...
Home from work on Wednesday afternoon, Valentine's Day, Emily was ablaze and I could not be happier. Nine a.m. to six p.m. Monday through Friday I was a wage slave. For twenty-four years five months twelve days I had served honorably in the United States Navy on arduous sea duty and isolated shore assignments working strange hours, standing duty every few...
I had bought a small cottage that overlooked the cove, waves pounded the beach, while gulls screamed in pleasure as they dipped and wheeled across the sky. The cottage was reached by driving 2 miles down a deep rutted, rough track; it snuggled into the side of a hill, protected from prying eyes by a small wood of tall oak, beach and sycamore. When I first...
Not The Usual Day At The Office As I walked into the office, I felt myself heave an overly loud sigh of distress... When did this job from Hell ever end? I thought to myself. I swear, some days I just felt like crawling in a hole and dying, some days I felt like committing suicide, and the cause of it all was my boss, my overly commanding boss. If there was...
"Daddy! Where are you?" I heard my twelve-year-old daughter, Rhegan, screamed as she tore through the house, frantically looking for me. "DADDY!!" Her voice didn't sound distressed, so I kept brushing the BBQ sauce over the slowly roasting chicken that I had spinning on the spit of my grill. "Outside by the pool, honey!" I finally gave in, laughing to mys...
The first thing I noticed about Julie was her smile. It was warm and comfortable. It wasn’t a big toothy Julia Roberts smile. It was closed lipped and spread across her face into relaxed cheeks and was highlighted by eyes that radiated a warmth that made you feel at ease. My wife Jenny had brought her home. Jenny had been in and out of Community Theater ove...
