- 23 - Jessica was talking with Julie when I got back up to my desk. Immediately they both went silent as I approached. Jessica spoke first, "I got to know. Please tell me because it is killing me. Don't lie or make something up, alright." her words seem to bubble out of her. "Did you have a...," she paused and looked around and continued in a harsh whisper...
Chapter three – Tom and Karin An uneventful flight the next morning, and the evening's reception at the hotel kept Tom's thoughts occupied. Checking in, unpacking, confirming the summit itinerary had him hopping until evening. He'd seen Karin twice so far at the hotel in passing, both had waved, but both had been on normal business seminar type errands and...
It didn't seem like the perfect plan for a 20th Wedding Anniversary. I am a company troubleshooter and my boss was sending me to Salt Lake City for the week. After a bit of negotiating the company is flying my wife Judith along for free and giving me two weekends plus the Thursday and Friday off during the week. Any time with Judith is a treat. I don't know...
His birth name was Simon, and his friends used to call him Si; now he preferred people not to know his name. He didn’t have an address, or a phone number. He had an identification card once, but that burnt with his house. He’d only been in trouble with the police once, and they didn’t take his fingerprints. They simply made him sleep it off in a cell. As far...
Thanks to Miss Jones I had everything just as I wanted it. The agency had a job for me in my first weekend in the apartment. I got $1000 to escort a nice old gentleman to a dinner for his retirement. He was a fun old coot, and did not try it on. He kept saying I looked like his grand daughter. It was a fun night but not what I had been looking for. This wen...
Holly shifted uneasily in her bed. She felt she would never get to sleep. Her tiny breasts felt tight and almost ached. Her nipples were sort of tender but not like with her period. Her panties had felt wet. She'd checked them, it was a clear fluid and it seemed to come from between her lips. She had been a very late developer. Her period didn't arrive until...
As a child, I was crushed and broken, although I mended myself time and time again. I was and am a stubborn creature, built for some greater promise than that which my parents handed to me at birth. I am a wandering soul, questing for meaning in a world that gives me none. During this quest, I have met many beautiful and arrogant people. These high beings...
Surveying his workshop, Santa frowned. It wasn't like him to be in a bad mood, but work was progressing slowly this year, and the number of good little boys and girls seemed to be at a record high this year. He was worried that they wouldn't finish all the toys by Christmas Eve. Now it looked like a pair of elves had taken an unscheduled break. A pair of ham...
Like so many nights sitting at this bar before, I ended up thinking about my husband. This was a little odd considering I was sitting at a lesbian bar, absentmindedly ogling a cute chic that seemed to be looking for a hook-up, but my life had flipped upside down and inside out so much in the past two years, the strangeness barely even registered. The girl fr...
Gloria was glad she finally convinced her husband, Gary, to visit their old friends, the Porters in Orlando. Oh, Gary could be an old curmudgeon, sure enough. Everyone knew that. But even he admitted it would be nice to see the Porters again and Gloria was looking forward to seeing the Potters' daughter and son-in-law at the same time. They lived in a nice...
