My dating life in college was a disaster. I don't know why I thought it would be better than it was in high school, but the hope of college can blind you to reality. I was never the athlete or preppy guy. At 5'8", half the girls wouldn't talk to me because I wasn't at least 6 feet tall. I was always more into intellectual activities than sports or athletics....
I was finally settled into my room at the Marriott. The flight was typical, the hotel a hotel. I still wasn't sure if the following week would be of any value. I wrestled with how I could better have argued my case not to attend this conference as I settled onto the bed and opened the paperback I had purchased while waiting for my flight. I probably wouldn't...
Hey, everyone, I'm back with Chapter 4 of our intrepid Arcanes. I hope you all enjoy it, and please, do leave a comment and a review. I do enjoy hearing from you all! Chapter 4 Kara sat in the passenger's seat of Santiago's car. It carried the smell of takeout and coffee in it. They'd been quiet as they drove, but Kara couldn't stand the silence. "So tell...
Dear Jelly, I have been watching you at play in The Playground. I find you very exciting and I hope that we can chat. I have read several of your posts on the Arouse Me in 5 Words thread and was very impressed by your wit and sexiness. I saw some of your other comments too and, think that it is gratifying to know that you are so sensitive and that you love...
Debbie didn't recognize the woman staring back at her in the mirror. Just a few months ago she was a proper, chaste woman, who was looked up to and respected by many women within her church and neighborhood. Her girls even thought she was a prude when it came to sex. She almost laughed as she thought about their perception of her, and what she was in reality...
Part One: The Meeting with the Master There were seven of us seated around the table in the private dining room of a swanky New York restaurant. I couldn't believe my good fortune; I had been invited to dinner with a bevy of celebrities. One was a writer and editor for a posh fashion magazine, along with his lovely, but simple blonde buxom wife. There was t...

My Wife Is No Longer My Lover, Ch. 04 Sometimes not a good place to be, home alone with John. Continued from Chapter 03: Yet, if she knew her retirement would be like this, so empty and so boring, she would have better financial...
It's a beautiful hot summer day and I'm in the front garden admiring my hard work. Weed free beds, blooming flowers soaking up the water I have given them, bees and butterflies dancing to natures tune. "Hey Mrs B, how are ya?" I'm startled, shaken from my reverie. I see Robbie's friend Dean on the pavement, looking young and fresh in shorts, jogging on t...
"Don't listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, they'd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance." - Michael Cudlitz Samantha looked around her second-floor room in her parents' home. It was like a 5-star hotel suite with a furnished living room that included designer furni...
First I'm in 11th grade and never had a boyfriend. It's so despicable, an 18 year old that just never happened to talk to a boy like "that" before. Lucky for me I had friends. I guess that's what happens when one attends an all girls' school. The school was rather big- containing at least 40 children per class and 7 multiples of each grade ranging from grad...
