Our story begins in an affluent community of Connecticut. A town of upper middle class families whose husbands earned salaries that allowed wives to remain at home often with too much time on their hands. Dominic and Theresa Scalia had moved to the area from California three years ago. Dominic had purchased the major banking institution in town and was opera...
Here I sit in front of a computer screen, my hands on the keyboard ready and willing to type, it 2 a.m., I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep because a few hours ago, I couldn’t write, I have writers block. I never knew how addictive writing could be, I now understand my father locking himself in his study hour after hour. I wonder what he did in those hours he c...
Chapter One: Tuesday Tuesday morning starts off with a bang. Your husband is leaving town on a business trip. He’s up early packing, slamming doors, closing drawers rushing to get out of the house to catch his plane. As usual, he’s over slept and is running behind. If he weren’t so belligerently independent you’d help him but why get in the middle of h...
Last year my husband and I moved to the suburbs. After ten years in the city and lots of hard work and some luck, we had it made financially and were ready to invest in a nice home. We moved to a very upscale neighborhood north of Houston. It was the kind of place that looked ideal. Everything neat and tidy and well kept. Huge homes, country club, golf and t...
In keeping with my style, there is very little actual sex, though the theme is decidedly adult. If someone had suggested to me before I got married even the possibility that something like this could happen, I would have considered it too absurd to even dignify the comment with a response. I can’t pinpoint the time when the whole situation began to develop....
To my reader, it was wonderful hearing from a number of you, a few not so wonderful. I was happily surprised by how many of you said you’d miss my stories. It was a joy to hear some of you say I was your favorite author. I thank you all. This is only a temporary reprieve, my rejection becomes your gain, I really don’t think there well be any more stories...
My friends April and Jon decided to adopt a child. They’re in their mid-thirties and had never had children, so I figured that they had decided to be a childless couple. It surprised but pleased their friends. They adopted a two-year old from Bulgaria, and he was a delight. I have known April and Jon for several years. April and I worked together. She and...
It was fortuitous that Allen appeared on the scene almost immediately after Bill moved (permanently as it turned out) to Europe, and a coincidence that, as with Bill, he first met Betty at an otherwise innocuous social event. However, that’s where the similarities in circumstances ended. Allen, unlike Bill, was married. His wife was, as we learned later, awa...
The hand laid an ice cube on the side of her neck. Katie gave a slight cringe, from its cold wetness making contact with her skin. The reaction it unleashed upon her was both searing and exhilarating. It was like feeling the first touch of rain after a long period under the sun; it brought a sigh to her lips. The hand slid the ice cube downward, leaving a we...
“You know, you’ll get into trouble going around like that!” “What do you mean, trouble?” Ray Denton looked at his wife; a smile played around his thin lips. Perhaps not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Leanne more than made up for this in the looks department. A striking brunette, her dark, sultry eyes peered back at him from under thick, luxuriant lashes...
