The Mayor of Attleton Market, Councillor Derek Tate, had gone to visit a small town in France on a fact finding mission as' twinning' the two towns had recently been discussed, and wasn't therefore able to perform the...
On board the aircraft, the Business Class cabin crew had a glass of champagne in our hands almost before we had sat down, and I was very happy at the extra leg room that I knew we would both appreciate on this long flight. Amy had done her research well, and the seats were exactly as she had said, and the wide armrest between us flipped up to make two very c...
It was Wednesday. I'd vowed after Saturday that I'd not think about the park or my feelings or what had happened. What had happened was wrong and unseemly. It was repugnant and I was a deviant. Yet by Wednesday afternoon I could barely concentrate on my accounts work and my mind was twisting in self-loathing and some undefined need. I opened a bottle of win...
Jeff introduced us, "Alex, this is Sarah Fellows, Natalie's friend." She smiled and shook hands. We knew of each other, but had never met. My parents sponsored a college reunion every so often at an isolated small lake in New Hampshire. A place that is heaven for a few short weeks every summer, after the mosquitos are gone and before the first frost. My sis...
It was a long train journey from London to Inverness but Lucy preferred it to flying. Flying was stressful, train journeys were restful. At least for her.

While we had breakfast, I was thinking about last night and how things didn't go the way I expected. "Kate about last night, you didn't react in the way I thought you would. I thought there would be tears, when I admitted my fantasies. I thought there might be an almighty row, even you wanting a divorce. Instead you were incredibly understanding, supportive...
She wasn't quite sure why she'd agreed to do this. That wasn't completely truthful. All she had to do was feel the wetness at her crotch to realize why she agreed. Because it's exciting. And the guy, Stefan, was very persuasive. After they'd gotten to know each other, and he'd zeroed in on her desires and fantasies, he proposed, "How would you like for me t...
Sarah had not touched her food. They had both ordered salads, and Darren was mopping up the mayonnaise and remnants of chopped carrot on his plate with a piece of bread. Her mood hadn't gone unnoticed either. "You alright? Not hungry?" Darren asked, then raised a mug of coffee, taking a sip. "Why do you ask?" Sarah answered, not looking up from her plate,...
