A friend of mine asked me about my most memorable experience, so I thought I would put it down on paper. Well, the computer anyway. I hope you enjoy it, and feedback is always welcome. * * * * * A few years ago, long before I met my husband and shortly after I turned 18, I went to work at the local renaissance festival. It wasn't much money and it was a l...
Abby sat in the crowded bar quite literally crying into her beer. Well her white wine to be more specific. Her third glass for a woman that only drank one socially. After five years, five long years in a relationship with Stuart it was over. Just like that. Over because he wanted to be polyamorous, he said. In plain Texan, he wanted to screw her and the woma...
Mary slowly stretched out under the duvet, taking a few moments to appreciate the snug warmth, before she had to get up. As she lay there, she couldn't help but smile, because today was a very special day, a very special day indeed. For today it was her birthday, and her Mom had promised her that now she was almost a woman it was time for a whole new wardrob...
From the very first time Sandra walked through the front door at the firm, everyone took notice. She was tall, with long, lustrous, auburn hair. She had the face of a Persian princess and a long, slender body to match. She strode in the door wearing a navy blue pinstriped suit, a high starched collar on her dress shirt and wing-tipped, stiletto heels that we...
"Oh, Emma, I'm so happy for you," Charles gushed over the phone in the morning. "I only wish I could have met the man first, but I guess you're a grown woman who knows how to take care of herself. I just... Can't believe it." Emma lay back against the arm of her couch and listened to the man, her patience growing ragged as she listened to the water run in he...
Duchess Delicacia of Brinmoore sat demurely by the hearth of her tower room, plying her needle. Her husband, the young Duke Bold, stood at the window with the shutters thrown wide, letting the cool night air wash over him. "I hate it here at court," Bold said savagely. "Endless councils and feasts and Lord Condign swooping around everywhere like an overgro...
The day of the wedding finally arrived. A day of happiness and joy and love. Everyone she knew would be there and Allison had been looking forward to seeing them. Allison had been so happy to be invited. She went out and purchased finery a little above her budget, but how often does your favorite cousin get married? She had been looking forward to the weddin...
Look, reader, you can believe this or not, I really don't much give a shit. This is my story so, sit down, shut the hell up and listen while I tell it. David, my husband, and I were invited to a big Halloween shindig over in Lake Oswego. You know the type of party I mean, business guys sucking up at a ludicrously big house belonging to some rich asshole and...
Traveling has always been a pleasure that Macy enjoyed. She never made any plans, just would throw some things together, hop in her car and take off. Where she would end up was always a mystery. She had met many interesting and wonderful people on her escapades and that is why she enjoys it so much. This particular time she headed up toward the Great Lakes...
It was hot, humid, and muggy. Hadn't these people heard of air conditioning? I was glowing– since mother said ladies don't sweat– brightly enough to light up a corner of Vegas. Trails of sweat, um, glow were trickling down my chest, melting into my bra. It was irritating to be in this paradise in my Akron, Ohio suit. God damn TWA. The dim interior of the sho...
