Whenever we go anywhere outside of the house, my wife Cassidy is always cold and I'm usually hot. Most often at movie theaters, restaurants, in hotel rooms and on planes. All four of which we frequent when we travel. As a result, I usually try to bring along a small travel blanket in my carry-on backpack that she can use. It's not much, but it helps and she...
Cassidy Black woke up that Friday morning and groaned in agony, even before the harsh beep of the alarm clock. She knew it would ring soon, but she remained still with anticipatory dread. It didn't matter. She was miserable because Cassidy hated Fridays. Her futon's rust-worn coils squeaked and screeched when she rolled upright. Her plump toes searched the...
She was there almost every day when he got home from work. If he was lucky, he got to ride in the elevator with her. She was the most exotic treasure he had ever laid eyes on. Her lips were of devil red and her skin the color of mocha. Trenton often mused that she had to be the girl in the old Ricky Martin song. But Ricky Martin's description didn't do this...
The laughter filled the darkened street as the children ran up and down the laneways to each home. The air was crisp and clean, the perfect October evening.

In fact, it was part physical and part final job interview. Cassidy had recently...
A/N: Thanks to my editors Sylvidoll, Spookmeister, and to my buddy Mike! ***** A solitary cloud passed overhead, casting the area in eclipsing darkness. The atmosphere over the pond was fraught with tension as Shawn's eyes took a few moments to adjust to the gloom beneath the trees. He could see the vague silhouette of a man that was only visible as a dar...
Shawn couldn't find any good hiding places that could conceal two people. He looked around, frustrated at his lack of options until he thought back to the rescue the previous night. He started scanning the rock walls around them. Thirty feet back from the ridge there was a small plateau that could fit the two of them as long as they got cozy, but it was out...

Debbie seemed to be in a very deep sleep, and having just smoked the equivalent of about two blunts in less than an hour, after smoking no weed for two months, I concluded that she probably wouldn't wake up for several hours. So I decided to explore my humongous new girlfriend, who I first saw just three hours earlier. First I lay her on her back, then roll...
