It was very late when we awoke and there was nothing of urgency to do on the Saturday, except to have a leisurely lunch and get ready for the party, that evening. The girls cooked the lunch and it was odd to see them behaving like ordinary young housewives, having previously watched them behaving last night, like sex queens. Barry and I spent most of the d...
Harry had completely forgotten that he had an appointment with his immediate superior on Thursday. Every quarter all staff had to have a review of their performance and Thursday was the day. Harry's immediate boss was called Samara. She was an Asian girl, about thirty, and was obviously destined for high office if the speed of her promotions was anything to...
02. The party begins. Before the guests arrived, three cooks arrived at the beach. Ashley recognised them from her previous stay at the mansion. One was smartly dressed, and took place behind the bar.

I always enjoy summer, especially those hot lazy days that make hanging out at a lake a pleasant place to be. The stinky hot weather usually pushes the tenters out because it's just so hot and muggy at night. While the RV crowd doesn't mind the muggy nights at all, thanks to their air conditioning. As usual, the middle of a stinky hot week meant that I had...
A thick, wrought-iron sign with the single word "GRIMSLEY" was arched between two massive stone pillars that marked the entry to this all-girl academic enclave.
