The distant barking of dogs somewhere in the castle brought Blue back to reality "Have to be fed" she thought. "Where the hell is the kitchen again.?" She made her way down the staircase and searched through the labyrinth of passages until she found the dark cavernous kitchen. It was warm in there. The AGA stove was still alight. Over in the corner was an...
I was cleaning house in my maternity baby blue shirt and a pair of blue jeans waiting for my husband to get home. I then turned on the TV and Jerry Springer was on. The episode was "Having affairs and your spouse knowing about it." It sounded pretty interesting so I stopped vacuuming and sat in the rocking chair and sat down and watch. This one couple who ha...
It was late December of my senior year in high school and I had just turned 18. My boyfriend Mark, a year older than me, invited me to one of secluded mountain bike trails in the woods between the high school and the airport. We rode for an hour, and then took a break at his place. Mark embraced me, and that was when he finally noticed that I was not wearing...
Arriving in Chicago, I waddled up to the front desk of Jack's hotel where he'd left a key for me. The desk clerk gave me a long up and down look, clearly admiring my swollen belly and burgeoning breasts. Even though the belly was fake, my breasts were real, and I felt very sexy under his gaze. Carrying only a small overnight bag, I waddled to the elevator, s...
It wasn't anything I planned, I mean how can you plan something as off the wall, or I guess I should say off the bookshelves? At the time I was visiting a used book store, one of those in an old, converted house with narrow aisles, interesting room shapes and lots of nooks and crannies. Although it was an inspiring setting for the casual book shopper, the ch...
It was a few years ago, and I'd just started a new job, working as an office manager. It was a good opportunity, although admittedly I felt a bit weird being the only man in an office full of women. Many of them were attached—as was I—and really my job was primarily to sort of stay in the background and keep things running smoothly. Generally, I just hid in...
CHAPTER 29 The pace of life picked up in that week before Christmas as the agencies he'd registered with started getting back to him. He attended interviews at various schools and by the end of the week he had mastered how to talk about the five-year gap in his resume with some degree of confidence. His best chance looked like being a maternity leave cover...
He stumbled in the darkness, picking his way through the stand of birch trees. Leaning against one of the pale trunks, he paused, hands on his knees, and tried to catch his breath. A black sedan crawled down the road, and he threw himself flat on the cold, hard ground as they combed the woods with a handheld searchlight. As the beam sliced past him, he coul...
"I'm fat!" exclaimed Audrey. "Yes, but there's a perfectly rational explanation for that." I said calmly. "I don't care. I feel FAT!" she said again. I turned to face her and tried to give her a reassuring hug but her 39½ week belly was getting in the way of me trying to comfort my wife. I ended up walking behind her and putting my arms reassuringly aroun...
As best I have been able to tell, my sugar addiction started even before I was born. My mother ate sweets for more than half her caloric intake from my conception until my birth. Things got worse when I was a child. We always had candy and soft drinks around the house, donuts or sweet rolls for breakfast, and intensely sugary desserts like baklava every nig...
