Peggy had been ill and I wanted to show her a good time. We own a sailboat and actually sail competitively about every month but usually a leisurely sail on a lake is not on the agenda. So without telling her I had a friend pack morning meals and lunches for a long three-day weekend. Then I had the boat cleaned up by a kid at the boatyard, where we kept the...
The day had finally come. They were to meet again after three years apart. An ocean and a few countries had separated them for far too long, and they yearned to be with each other again. Oh my god, she thought as the plane touched down. This is it. I'm here. He's here. Her anticipation of this moment had made the 15-hour flight seem to last for eternity. He...
Imagine this...the wind is blowing hard against the cabin walls, rattling the windows in their frames and howling across the eaves. You peer into the inky blackness outside for some sign of me. Though the interior of the cabin is quite comfortable, the sight of the deep snow and dark night sends a chill across your shoulders and you draw the thick comforter...
Marian came through my office door late in the day, looking good as always. She looked very cool in her t-shirt, shorts, running shoes and white, calf length socks, witnessing to the positive change in the weather. I swiveled in my desk chair and looked her up and down. "Glad you could make it by," I said, "how may I help you?" "Ah, c'mon Mack. It's nice ou...
Imagine yourself walking down a street. It's only six in the evening but the dark makes it feel like midnight. It's cold and threatens snow so the streets are empty. I know what it is to carry a desire around in my head. It can be a million miles from my thoughts and yet it appears as if a switch were flicked. I've just arrived: I'm babysitting a friend'...
"Are you busy?" Her voice sounded friendly and natural on the phone. "Can you come over?" "Sure," I replied. "Is there a problem?" "No, I'd just like to show you something." When I got there, I knocked on the door and heard her voice say "Come in, the door's open." I opened the door and stepped inside. She was standing in the middle of the room, wearing...
A full moon hung high in the cool, cloudless sky. Its bright light shone through the open balcony of an expensive hotel illuminating a previously darkened room. The sounds of a creaking bed could be heard reverberating off the walls and exiting into the clear night. Sitting upon a small table was a metal ice bucket holding a still unopened bottle of champagn...
It was 11PM already and he had not shown up, I could not believe he would stand me up on New Year's Eve, here I was stood alone and only an hour to go before every one would have someone to kiss as the clock chimed midnight, I looked around the room and then from the corner of my eye I glimpsed a figure looking at me, I looked away quickly but cannot resist...
Our eyes meet. It's just a casual glance on your part, but the intensity of your dark eyes causes my heart to skip a beat. I reach down to raise my neckline to hide the tell-tale flushing spreading across my chest. As I do, my fingers almost imperceptively graze my breasts and my nipples harden at just that slightest touch. Horrified, I glance up, praying yo...
Striding down the hillside to freedom, Jacinta forced herself not to look back at her lover/guide, Noctilio. His rough exacting of the payment of her body for the safe journey over the hills had repelled her, yet she left him reluctantly. Moving voluntarily into his arms had been her forgiveness and a tenderness had sprung up between them. Knowing there was...
