Chapter 1 It was on the plane ride that I realized that this could be the best week of my life. I finally had Diane alone for a week in a foreign country where phone calls and texts were not going to be a distraction. I had finally got back on the money train and had dropped some weight and looked pretty good. I wanted to reward myself with a fun week wit...
He stood over her, his belt in one hand and a drink in the other. Raising his glass to his lips he noticed the ice had melted more than he expected, the large cubes watering down the bourbon. That was probably a good thing, he knew he would hurt her if he lost his head and she wouldn't tell him to stop when she was this far in. This was the sixth weekend in...
We're cuddled close together on the couch on a hot summer evening. We've both been working in the yard all day. The air smells of freshly cut grass as it wafts through the house on a warm, gentle breeze. We've both showered, but it's too hot to get dressed. You're naked skin is pressed against mine, as we lounge in our underwear. Your hair is still wet from...
She had this fantasy before and tonight Andrew was going to fulfill it for her. The room was very dark; a security light from the backyard caused a sliver of illumination in her room, but just barely. Her usual bed attire was a satin pajama top (no pants) and a pair of socks; Andrew knew this. He was wearing all black: ski mask, t-shirt, running pants, runn...
It has been quite a few years since I have done any writing, life got in the way, then I forgot my logon password and after trying and failing to get it reset several times I gave up, as a result my writing took a back seat. Recently I received feedback on one of my stories and it inspired me to try one more time to recover my password and it worked this tim...
Before she could turn back to the handle, the door to her hotel room slammed shut behind her. "Shit!" Missy exclaimed. She grabbed the door knob and tried to turn it. No luck. The door locked automatically when closed. She knew she left her room key and cellphone inside. "Come on Missy. That was so stupid," she thought to herself. Shifting the ice bucket fro...
Missy was coming home from work one Friday night. She pulled into the parking lot of the apartment building. She got out of her car. As Missy started walking towards the door to go into the building, someone came up from behind her and put a pillowcase over her head. There was a hole cut out of the case for her nose and mouth to breathe out. She was told to...
Static broke the silence as Jillian turned the dial on the old radio. Manipulating the antennae with her left hand, she slowly moved the red marker on the numbered strip until it stopped precariously between 98.7 and 99. "Beach Baby Beach Baby give me your hand..." blared from the speakers and Jillian smiled. Gingerly, she released her hold on the antennae...
I knew Alyssa had planned a romantic evening for us. It was in the way she seemed to just fly around the house, singing and humming her favorite love songs. We've been married five years and there are some things that I've learned to pick up on. Her romantic surprises is one of them, but I'll never let on that I know. I kissed her softly before I left for w...
My closest buddies and I visit the same small town every year for a July 4th weekend fishing trip. We always rent from the same Podunk green and white motel and generally get the same adjacent far corner rooms every year. The motel is the cleanest of the three in the little town. Believe me, we tried the others and they were dirty by any fisherman's standard...
