As I explained earlier, I was in deep dudgeon with my employer, the Department of State, for excessive drinking and "additional problems," among which was sex with too many men too often. It was six months of abstinence before I got a telegram that allowed m...

When I was a directionless young woman, just out of community college with an Associate's Degree in computer science, I, Allison Barth, started working for a local Private Investigator. Unfortunately much of the work I did was on cheating spouses, both male and female, with a ratio of about 60-40. After about four years I had become licensed by the State; I...

She began slowly pulling a black nylon stocking up one shapely leg, fitting it snugly midway up her thigh.
