First, a warning - this story is based around a "Loving wives" theme. If that gives you issues, you are going to have to grind your way to the end, some 50,000 words away before you can grumble. Ask yourself, is it really worth the effort? The second warning is, the first 2 1/2 sections are substantially the same as an earlier submission of mine "Emergence...
I had come to Japan to complete negotiations for a large deal for my company. The love of my life, Niki, accompanied me on this trip. We landed in Tokyo after an overnight trip and hit the ground running. I went off to the golf course to negotiate with the COB of the Japanese company, and Niki went sight seeing with his daughter. We had dinner with the COB,...
Paulina was having a party with the people she met on the beach. She didn't care how much damage she did to the assets of house, or the new Mercedes, or the murals hanging on the wall, or any of the other possessions they may have once shared. Those things were now like her heart, her mouth, her liver or her sweet, rounded ass, or the smooth, well-trimmed pu...
After a long drive through the desert from Fresno to Las Vegas, both you and I were nearly exhausted but excited. We had both put in a full week of work, and we needed some time away from the more mundane details of our jobs. We planned the trip to Vegas a few weeks prior in honor of our second year together, and we were both ready to usher in another year i...
Thaddeus was in his car a half hour later cruising along Washington Boulevard. He had one arm thrown across the passenger seat while he steered with one hand. Lying on the backseat was a knapsack in which he'd thrown a few items: clothes to wear for tomorrow along with shoes. A pouch bag that contained his toiletries; other house clothes to wear; three jazz...
I had been thinking about it for some time. I was in upper management at my company. My salary was six figures and I was enjoying the fruits of many years of hard work and dedication to my job. My only problem was my wife, Judy. We would be celebrating 25 years of marriage soon. She was a beautiful girl when we met. Her figure was absolutely incredible! She...
Alec and Krista stood on the balcony staring at the people rushing around below. Krista leaned over, eying all of the possible victims. It had been almost two weeks since they had last eaten. The journey had been hard, but Alec didn't want to take the chance of being found out. "Why can't we eat now?" Krista asked, focusing her gray-eyed gaze on him. Alec...
Previously on Lost (ha ha!): Flying to the Caribbean to watch part of the England cricket tour of the West Indies I had entered into conversation with my seated partner, Julie. Chaperoning her much younger sister Sara, elsewhere in the plane, the unhappily married woman was not so interested in the sport but more in getting time away from her errant husband,...
My name is Jill. This past Christmas I had the most amazing experience. Actually, there were several. It was just after my first semester of college and a month before my twentieth birthday. My friend Ann had invited me to go to her beach house for a few days over the break. Being winter, there was no chance we were going to get a tan, but she assured me tha...
FOUR Matt left the shop, seeing that it was fully dark. He glanced at his watch, the digital dial reading 7:10 PM. He hurried back to his apartment, getting there at twenty minutes to eight. He went up to his apartment, glancing across to his neighbors darkened windows, then changed into his new outfit, slipping on the one pair of cowboy boots he owned and...
