For once I manage to get away from work early and head home. It is Wednesday and the weekend seems a long way off yet the previous weekend is already a far distant memory. She will already be home when I get there. No doubt busy, as always. No doubt tired, as always. I think about her as I drive, the way she looks, the way she moves. It has been days since...
"Bang, bang, bang, BANG!" Becky awoke from her very short night's rest. "They're here again," she sulked, and tried to go back to sleep, but to no avail. The construction workers arrived every morning at 7 o'clock, and it was bad enough that she was still jet-lagged from returning from her vacation to Hong Kong. After another 30 minutes of tossing and turn...
It is with a sense of disbelief that I take my clothes off. It's like I'm watching someone else do it through my own eyes. I don't want to, not any more, but I'm here and he's left me alone in the room and I don't see what else I can do. I'm taking it a step at a time. Yes, I can put on the clothes I've brought with me in the rucksack. I've come a long...
Stephanie looked at her watch. It was eleven o'clock and her visitor was due at noon so she had better not waste time. She had completed most of her housework, the place was looking reasonably respectable because she knew he was a stickler for tidiness, so all she had to do now was get herself ready. There was time for a shower, to select the appropriate cos...
I had just got back from college for summer, back in with my folks and already I was so bored. I shut myself away in my bedroom most of the day, playing on my games console and surfing the web watching porn and going onto chat sites. It was going to be a long summer and I needed to find something to do. But what? I lived in the middle of no where and my mate...
Penelope and Billie help me get dressed into my dress uniform for my retirement ceremony. As always, I am wearing the pants and not the skirt with it. My ribbons are measured, the metal and buttons are polished, and my shoes are shined. I pull by hair into a tight bun and adjust it so my cap can remain firmly on. Chief of Police gave me the go ahead to dress...
My phone vibrated on my desk letting me know of the text message. I reached for it with little thought as I continued to stare at the computer screen trying to get the tests running so I could leave for the day. I glanced at the time while I unlocked the screen. Five to six, nice, I needed to get out of here and was looking forward to heading home for a nice...
Scarpelli stood in a loose robe at the bedroom window, looking down slope to the paddock where the Senator's wife rode a cantering gelding over low wooden jumps. The room was perfectly appointed in the style he'd expect in a 17th century Virginia manor; lush fabrics, busy wallpaper, thick wood moldings, heavy brass knobs and stained oak doors. Outside, the g...
I had to laugh when I heard the music playing and the shower running behind the door of the master bathroom. Dana, my wife, apparently had the same plan as I did about getting ready early that Saturday evening before we met her girlfriend and husband for dinner. Yes, she wanted to see as much of the football game as she could before we had to leave. Though...
Rachel texted me in the middle of the day. It had been quiet at work, so I noticed the message arrive. "Are you busy?" "Not so much, what's up?" "Can I come over?" "Sure" She arrived about twenty minutes later. She was dressed in her usual plain clothes, just jeans and a T-shirt. "You see," I said, "this is what I'm talking about. You dress plainly, so...
