As a child, I can remember my father being a serious commercial fisherman and nothing at all about my mother. The times I would ask him about her, he'd simply say that she hated loneliness and moved on. He was the no nonsense type and he only played the few days (or nights) each month that he was home from the sea. It was well known throughout town that...
SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE I had a first cousin, Jerry, who, as soon as I met him, became my best and dearest friend. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that we were born on the same day, same month and year with him being just four hours younger than me. I don't know how dad and aunt Becky arranged that! Every family get-together, we'd be off by...
**I hope you enjoy this one. While there's very little specific details about either person, they are based on real events. Please comment and rate if you feel the compulsion.** We'd only met once. He'd emailed me in response to a post I'd put on craigslist but was ultimately too afraid to go through with. I'd been looking for someone to dominate me, fearfu...
My name is Helena. What I am about to describe, my story, began with a one night stand, an explosive one. Much more happened after that and is still happening. I don't know where it will all end and no longer care. I abandoned the notion of limits, because they seem to present themselves only to be immediately abandoned. How long ago was it? Could not tell,...
The masked ball wasn't his kind of thing, but he had been talked into going by some friends of his, after weeks of cajoling, he had given in. The costume he had hired from a local shop made him look like an extra from some Jane Austen novel, long boots, tight britches and filly shirt with oversized cuffs. Looking at himself in the mirror, he put on the mask...
The evening was balmy and warm, typical of Texas in August. My clothing clung against me and it was really the coolest, briefest thing I owned. He strolled along at my side, smoking with that incredibly casual air that gives a man such rough attractiveness. The others had stayed at the hotel, claiming exhaustion, sending us out to the nearest liquor store to...
I got a job at a casino as a blackjack dealer, because after years of dealing drugs, dealing cards just seemed to make sense. A few months earlier I had been busted at a friend's house when the police raided him for growing pot in the basement. I didn't even know he was growing it. Shows what a great friend he was. The police busted me too because I had a cr...
The saying, "The good ones are always taken" has always held special meaning for me. It has never failed. The men who seemed the most perfect for me were already married or had a girlfriend. And inevitably, as much as we exchanged flirty glances or parried sexually charged innuendos, nothing would come of it. I was single. My last relationship had ended disa...
You sat motionless on the edge of the bed, smoking your cigarette slowly, your eyes glazed over. I could hear the wheels turning in your mind, and I couldn't help but wonder what was next. I pushed a loose strand of my auburn hair behind my ear and ran my finger down the side of my face, under my chin, and between my breasts, gathering your attention. You g...
An Unfortunate Afternoon I was berating myself over my decision to come to the bank today. This bank in particular. It was a financial institution I had never been in before, but I thought I'd pick up a money order on the way home from work for a purchase I was to make. Now, I found myself embroiled in the middle of a terrorist stand-off at a bank in the mi...
