We pulled up into the lot in front of Lab Works Inc., a local Medical lab facility with a good reputation. Beth still had not spoken to me and I was so not in the mood to be ignored. Not with the questions I had and the answers I needed. The only thing I could figure was that I had misread things, no matter what Josh had said. With a dejected sigh I looked...
Have you ever watched something that makes you want to look away but for some reason you just can't tear your eyes from the view in front of you? For the past two hours I'd been doing exactly that, sneaking regular peeks at the couple sitting over by the window while I tried to focus on my job at the same time. Unfortunately every minute that passed by had m...
This story is the first of several which will build on these characters and the situations introduced here. Each will stand on its' own and as such I decided not to make it a story in chapter form. ------------------------------------------ Tom Prentice walked into The Embers Restaurant and took a look around. It was not any different from his last visit,...
About two years ago my wife and I met through mutual friends a couple with whom we share a lot in common. Rita and Hal were our age; in fact the wives were born two days apart the same year, career-wise we were equally successful, our children were all grown and we were all enjoying the thrill of being grandparents. We got together often as a foursome going...
The light was peeking around the curtain when I felt Kat slide off of the end of the bed and head into the bathroom. I dozed off again and was awakened by an arm reaching around my waist. "Oh, she must have climbed back into bed without me realizing it." I thought to myself. She began to rub her hand up and down my bare hip and thigh under the covers. I wa...
BRUSSELS, MID SEPTEMBER It was a curious day. I'd been expecting to spend the time being foolish, walking through the excitement of the capital of Europe, sharing silly jokes and anticipating dinner, and then dealing with a more basic appetite. Instead I felt almost surplus to requirements. Uli was younger than Magda but she seemed older and more experience...
A very dear friend of mine from back in high school was going to get married again. Craig, my friend, married right out of high school at the age of 18. He and his wife had two kids together, house in the suburbs, two cars and looked to be perfectly happy. One day, after 30 years of marriage, he came home from work to a note that his wife had left him. Craig...
This is the longest story, and most autobiographical, I have ever submitted. The story is actually a sexual travelogue that I hope to continue through several different countries and experiences that I am familiar with while developing the characters. Because of the length involved I have broken the story down into chapters, something I have not done in my p...
Valentine's Day was the second busiest day of the year, I had heard, after Mother's Day. I couldn't imagine a restaurant more bustling than what I witnessed that late morning, when I arrived for work at just before 10:45, seeing a crowd of guests awaiting the opening of our doors. The business of the day kept my mind occupied, so much so that, when two doze...
She watched him walk toward her, anticipation building inside her causing the fire to beat below her belly. She smiled. How could she not? He was so handsome, smart, funny, sexy, loving, and attentive. The TOTAL package so to speak. The love she felt for him welled up in her eyes and by the time he reached her and took her into his arms, she started crying....
