Only six o'clock and the day was already hot. I drove in another nail, keeping my mind on the goal. That goal was to finish before she came out of the house. This was my third day on the project and the routine was always the same. She would come out and tease me senseless. She asked me to build a shed. The lady was the boss, so I agreed to build a shed for...
After many months of chatting with Aaron online, Kayla was on her way to meet him; she was sure her husband would not approve of her having a friend stay the weekend with her, although he probably wouldn't even notice, the last four years Kayla has been alone in her marriage and all the attempts of making it work had failed. And finding Aaron was the best th...
It was hot that summer, with temperatures in the 90s and 100s for days on end. The only relief, other than just staying cooped up in the house, was to go out to our local lake and swim. We live about ten minutes from a state lake, built my the Corps of Engineers years ago. It was a great summer attraction in a state with few national parks. We used it often...
A crisp breeze heavy with the scent of pine rolled in from the jagged peaks to their front. They looked to each other, then back to the gorgeous peaks to their front. In his backpack he had a little food to eat along with a bottle of fine champagne and a large thick blanket. The morning air was warm and alive as they set out up the trail to their front. The...
Stretching out on the couch, Phoenix idly flicked through the channels on the TV, stopping every so often to watch the antics on the talk shows. She surveyed the room from her vantage point; Rob would be home soon, and he'd be pissed that she'd done nothing all day. He'd specifically told her to clean up the house, and like an unruly child, she hadn't. Pho...
Your eyes close tight, blocking out the light that glares relentlessly into them. Your lips are dry and your tongue flicks in your mouth seeking any moisture. I can see the skin of your cheeks twitching as I move closer to you. Your hands are helplessly bound behind you. Your legs held in a perpetual spread position by the bar shackled to your ankles. I am...
And in that moment I knew I'd take it, that chance I never thought I'd get. I'd take him. I'd take him now while I could, the way I wanted, and damn the consequences. Damn them all I would. He knew what I had in mind, what was in that bag and didn't seem to care...didn't back off in the least. He had choices; to not show, to leave, to take control or to go b...
On his way out of the lecture hall, James noticed a sign outside it. Presumably in preparation for a later lecture in the day, the sign said: 'music - guest lecturer: Kenneth Roy.' James had been about to go home (having no other lectures until the afternoon) but stopped at the sight of this sign. Kenneth Roy was an absolute legend of rock music and one of...
You come to the door, not knowing what to expect. We've never met, after all. Our eyes meet for several seconds through the glass of your storm door before you open it silently and turn to retreat into the house. I catch you before you're into the living room, my right arm sliding around your waist as my left hand lifts your chin to allow my mouth access to...
This is my first submission, please vote and provide constructive criticism. Thanks! It was a Friday afternoon as Lydia sat in her office dreading the remaining few hours of work for the week, not to mention she was supposed to be going out for girls night with a few friends tonight. She couldn't remember the last time she went out, as she was busy with wor...
