I met my husband while vacationing in Jamaica. I had just graduated from a community college in my home town in northern Ohio and was celebrating by going to the Caribbean with my best friend Kayla (my name is Kathy). She and I were inseparable during high school and college. We were like twins, but not physically. I’m 5’6” tall, shoulder-length natural bl...
The same year, the year I turned eighteen, as I remember. High school graduation was June 6th, college started in September. I lived at home with my parents and I expected to commute to Ohio State when classes began. It's not that I loafed, I had chores and I practiced piano two hours everyday, but I did have spare time.

This is my first time so be gentle. I'm very fortunate to have a benefit that a lot of first time writers don't and I appreciate it more than anyone will ever know.

Yesterday, seve...

Chapter 3 -- A New Woman In My Life As We Plan For a Confrontation I sat for minute coping with shock of what I'd just seen and all that happened over the past three weeks or so. Lynn Seaburn, a beautiful blond, had found me out of all the people in the Universe to help her relocate to Florida. I'd helped her get a new job, and she was living with me as b...

It was another cold night in the winter here in Ohio. We've been cooped up so much lately due to the cold that we were going crazy. My wife Bo and I decided that we wanted some extra time with Master so we called him to set up another meeting. He was thrilled to get some extra quality time with us, so he asked us where to meet. This was a change for us as he...
