It had been a wonderful evening and as I slowly pulled my screen door open I knew the night was about to get even better. Fumbling a bit with my keys, I finally found the correct key and nervously slid it into the front door lock. I had to jiggle the key a bit to get it to work in the ancient lock, but it finally unlocked so I pushed the door open, stepped b...
Kristen's thirtieth birthday. With every passing year that she'd gotten older, so had her desire to not celebrate it. What was the point? She had everything she needed, why dwell on getting older? She had a god job, a brand new house, and worked for everything she owned. One thing was missing, but not important. Not that she needed a man to make her life com...
As I approached our pre-arranged meeting place, my tummy was turning somersaults and my heart was thudding in my chest. Were we really going to do this, after more than 30 years apart? Angela and I well, we were each others first love both emotionally and physically, back in 1976. We were both young and fell in love, simple as that. After lots of false star...
Caroline, a 20 year-old college brunette who I work with, had recently transferred Universities. This was her first year attending a school with a large campus - over 40,000 students. She was nervous, to say the least. Since I had graduated that May, she asked if I would, sometime that summer, set aside some time to walk her to her different class buildings,...
He woke up, when the light from the corridor hit his eyes. The bedroom's door had just opened. She was back. He closed his eyes again, intent on drifting back to sleep. He could hear her in the background, dropping her bag on the floor, hanging her coat, taking off her shoes. The usual, nightly routine. He opened his eyes again, when he heard the zipper of...
I was in the middle of my lecture when Bijou walked into class. The topic that day was line breaks in poetry, and I was talking about how the William Carlos Williams poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" perfectly illustrated how carefully chosen breaks add sense to a poem. She sat in the back of the room, crossed her legs, and smiled at me. Only one or two of the stu...
Remember that poem about the little girl who 'when she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid'? That's my Marvin. Simple story. He was insufferable to me and our eight-year-old son. So why did I stay married so many years? Because I have a condition the doctors can't explain. I need sex every day. Often a couple of times a day...
She could not believe how bold he was; he just came right out and asked her how big her tits were! It had been a little over a year since Kathy's husband Glen had died in that tragic car accident. True, their marriage had been up and down before that, she had had affairs, but the last few yrs, they had worked hard to fix it, and the intimacy had been retur...
Outside it rains. And it rains. I don't hear Darlene's car until she presses down on her brakes and the brakes squeak.. I her her say "Damn"(the rain) and Darlene's slats hitting the sloshy mud. Darlene opens the front door as a thunder crach splits the raining sky right behind her. As usual I am reading something old as hell, a classic novel. Tonight it's...
Anna had been gone about an hour. Adam had comfortably settled down with a coffee and the newspaper when his phone whistled - Sharon's unique ring tone. "Hi honey," he answered. "What's news?" "I have no idea what you and Anna got up to overnight, Adam. All I know is that she has a smile as wide as the Hudson River and all she wants to do is sleep." He gri...
