Once again the sunlight came through the open curtains and woke me. We seem to have been too occupied to worry about them last night – again. I looked over at the clock – 6:00 A.M.. I'll need to remember next time – they're getting in the way of sleep. I was feeling the warmth from Sue's body as she lay curled around me. How marvelous that small item is – w...
"It's ethics!" Debra said. "Oh, bullshit. You are a Doctor, why in the hell should I have to go see a different one and pay them when I have you right here?" I was feeling a bit crabby at that. It was going to cost me the Medicare co-pay. "Danny, even if I did see you I would have to bill you, the system I work for would insist on that." "Hell, that's lik...
My wife and I share a passion for politics, but I was surprised one night when she told me she wanted "An Obama baby." I had a hunch about where she was going, so I tried to change the subject. "I'm excited, too. Amy! I really think he's going to be our next president!" We're both latte liberals excited about the possibility of our country electing Barack...
Estuary: (n) - that part of the mouth or lower course of a river in which the river's current meets the sea's tide. He was sure of only two things. The first was that the sun wasn't up yet. The second was that he'd had too much to drink, way too much to drink. While his head felt like it was besieged by angry jackhammers, it was the brewing turbulence in h...
At the tick of appointed clock, I drove my husband Karl's top-down British Racing Green Mazda Miata convertible right up to the Welcome Center at the hotel. Rex was waiting alongside a porter. Both approached my car: Rex beaming and porter lugging a two small wicker baskets and a blanket. Rex directed that the picnic be fitted behind the seats. He knew one l...
I was speechless. I didn't think she'd find out this fast. "Well..... I'm waiting." She replied. My throat immediately got dry. Talks with my mother always ended up being an argument. I was not in the mood, but I knew it had to be done. I cleared my throat and replied, "Yes Momma. It was my house." By this time Shane was fully awake and was looking at me...
“Step up on this ledge, Cinna" “No. Not there--someone might see me” she replied. “If you didn’t want to do this you wouldn’t have answered my ad. Would you, Cinna?” Cinna had walked the five blocks to this address in the ridiculous costume he had instructed her to wear. She felt conspicuous but the clamor of trick or treaters was a good cover. Her real...
Everyone even remotely involved with sex in this story is an adult. I was intensely body shy when I was eighteen. I don't know why. My family wasn't particularly prudish or anything. My father and my older brothers often lounged around the house in underwear when I was growing up. As the only girl in a house full of men, I probably saw more flesh then most...
Authors note: This is a reader request story and I hope I do his ideas justice. Please note the first few chapters will be purely plot and character development so bear with me. Any errors are entirely mine, feel free to point out as the story develops if something seems unlikely or unrealistic, as this is not an area in which I have any RL experience. Lexi...
I awoke from my dreamless sleep moments after dusk and opened my coffin. Darkness had descended upon the city and I felt the need. I was hungry. It was time to feed. It had been this way for several centuries and it wouldn't change in millennia as long as I was nourished with human blood. Not just any human blood but...well, I'm getting ahead of myself. Allo...
