Nathan pulled the heavy load on his back a little higher, and slogged up the hill before him with a determined groan! "I'll make ten miles today if I have to crawl!" he growled, wading through a stand of young pines, springy branches brushing some of the heavy snow from his jacket. Putting one burning leg in front of the other, the hiker made steady progres...
I am not really sure how it came to this. How have I survived this long? I never even thought I would ever make it to 38, to tell you the truth. But here I am, the "poster girl" devoted wife, successful career girl, "got her shit together" Lisa. If only Randy knew who I really am. If our friends and family really knew who I am. This double life. This charade...
A semi-autobiographical account of my sexual encounters over many years. Chapter Twelve. 1996. (February.) Rupert, early-forties. Out of the blue I received a phone call from Rupert, the artist I did some life modelling for you may recall. At the culmination of the final class there had been a certain amount of euphoria and in the confusion he'd forgotten...
Author's Note: This is my first attempt at erotic fiction. I wrote this story after an "erotic chat" session I had with a friend so as such it is lacking in exposition, plot, and character development... in other words, it gets right to the point. Those of you familiar with Colorado will know that Red Rocks is a real place and a special one too. In addition...
"You owe me." He stood by my desk and looked down at me like I was some kind of scum. "Yeah. I owe you. Ask me to buy you dinner. Ask me to take you out on my boat some weekend. Don't ask me to take your sister out on a blind date." "I know it's a lot to ask. Look, I know you'd like to go to the big scuba show at the Queen Mary this weekend. I'll pay for y...
I love the outdoors. Hiking, camping, fishing...you name it I love spending time outdoors. This all started whenever I was a kid. My dad was paralyzed from the chest down from an auto accident when I was a kid, but that didn't stop him from teaching me and my sister about nature and the outdoors. One of my favorite past times is to go hiking. I've hiked the...
I know it's been a while but I'm still writing. Lots of half formed stories, but unfortunately, real work with real pay must take precedence. This short series is close to completion so I will start to release it. There are three chapters, I'll publish one a week. Please enjoy, and write feedback. I like the feedback. *** *** *** Cecilia stopped to consu...
The hitch-hiker. It had been nearly two years since my life partner of two decades had died, and in February 2014 I had finally made the move away from the Australian capital to rural eastern Victoria. The sale of my previous home had allowed me the luxury of buying suitable land in the quiet seaside village of Marlo, where the Snowy River meets the ocean....
A Tarantula Wasp, impregnated and laden with her egg, hovers in an arroyo deep in the Sonora Desert, searching for that giant, hairy spider that will feed her unborn daughter. She spies a large male and engages him from above, landing on his back where he is defenseless, and injects her potent juices. Within a moment he is paralyzed, and she drags him into h...
BETH I was summoned up to Superintendent Ploncke's office where I found my pal and fellow probationer, Gina, waiting outside the door. She and I had become friendly at the police academy, but not really very 'best' friends, and having both graduated somewhat closer to the bottom of our class than the top. "What's going on?" I asked Gina. "Don't know. My...
