You walk behind your wife as she climbs the station steps. On the other platform is the train she will take with me to town and the hotel you booked. One room for us and one for you. She boards the train and finds me. I stand to let her take her seat and you take yours a few rows back. She puts her hand on my arm and we kiss. Slowly, but firmly, and you know...
It was probably mid-morning when the loud knock woke all four of them from their sound sleep. The knock repeated itself soon after and Jon eventually staggered out of bed and wrapped a sheet around himself before opening the door. He immediately recognized the man who had checked them into the hotel a few nights earlier. "Buenos dias," the man happily said...
Minerva By Denham Forrest, The Wanderer Minerva chapter 03 A little later that day I was sitting in the west conservatory, accompanied by Jack Blake, reading a book. Jack is one of the two, long-term residential guests of the Cliff Head that I knew well, and actually liked. Jack Blake is an extremely well dressed gentleman of indeterminate age. Near...
Chapter 2 - News Disclaimer: This is the second chapter of what will be a mid-long series. In order to understand this chapter, you will need to read chapter 1. All characters are 18 or older. No sex here either! If you feel susceptible to my story, the possible racist attitudes, mention of abuse either physical or mental or the fact that the main story de...
"I slept with Michael," my wife confessed. Well, duh. Sonya's sense of humor, while playful, tended toward puns and a lack of subtlety. We had just got back from a real estate convention, and due to a mix-up at the hotel, we had been forced to share a room and a king bed. Sonya had provided the 'buffer' between the two men, clad chastely in a long flannel ni...
After lounging around the apartment complex pool for most of the afternoon, it was getting too hot for me to stay - even with generous amounts of sunscreen. Glancing over to my wife, Linda, I smiled in appreciation of how sexy she truly was. Linda was sitting on the chaise with her eyes closed. Wearing just a string bikini, she was baking herself to get a go...
Vic and Natalie – Decision Time Vic came home in a good mood. He'd finalized a profitable deal with Nick Fitzgerald and Joe Marcolina that would result in his moving from spec-homes to custom-built homes that cost thousands of dollars more. He wanted to take Natalie out and celebrate. "Honey, I'm home!" he called out on entering his foyer. "We're celebrati...
A quick little story about cheating and a little revenge. My name is Eric Larsen. I'm 28 years old. I work for Allied Security. I've been with them for three years. I worked my up from the bottom. I watched for shoplifters, stood around at private parties, watched closed warehouses and so on. It was all pretty boring but it paid the rent. Finally I got prom...
Forward Long ago and far away, I read Bartelby the Scrivener by Herman Melville. My English teacher very cleverly offered no help in interpreting the story or its curious central figure, Bartelby, who calmly declines to do even the most minute task with the declaration I use in this story. Instead, he let a room full of 16 year olds debate the story and its...
Authors Note: Thanks to all those who commented on Chapter 1. And thanks for all of the constructive criticism. I noted that some readers were a bit concerned about a couple of things. First, the stereotypes...My apologies if I offended anyone. I need the stereotypes to create the imagery I want for the characters. That style will continue. So, if it's not y...
