Anonymous won't care for this story very much. What a shame... It's about a patient man trying to hold his marriage together when increasingly he seems to be the only one in the marriage. *** *** *** Some lessons you learn by watching others and some you just learn the hard way. This is the story of how I learned my lesson the very hard way. I screwed up...
Prologue The villagers were terrified of the wolf. They feared the wolf's unusual white pelt. The strangeness of such a creature in a bland, flat land of nothing but dull greens and browns was seen as a bad omen. Draught plagued their crops. Disease stole their children in the night. The wild game they depended on to survive the long winter still ahead of t...
Peter awoke with a terrible need to use the bathroom. There was absolutely no schedule in his life of late. I didn't help that he was unable to sleep through the night for some reason. It might have to do with two women in the bed with him moaning all night. He had at least slept well the night before. He went to bed early and even Trish fell instantly asle...
This is Alternative Ending #5 of 'Sprung'. It has the same beginning as 'Sprung 1 - 4, all the way down to 'Alternate Ending Number 5'. It stands alone. There's no sex and it isn't a complete ending.

There once was a small town where time seemed gently paused in the middle of spring. The weight of recent rain hung perpetually in the air, though no one could say the last time rain had fallen.

Nanny pulled the tight shirt over her head and smoothed it down across her firm tan belly. The image in the mirror showed two round mounds struggling to escape the bondage of the cloth. The nipples showed clear through the gossamer fabric but were not yet standing at their full extension. "Ah," she smiled, "Dean will love this." She knew they were slated to...
The spring-time breeze gently creates the constant movement of dancing curtains, parted just enough to let the coolness invade her bedroom, the light from a sunny afternoon slipping through as well, putting her soft pillow-top bed in nature's spotlight. That breeze had earlier dried her freshly washed cotton sheets, now spread out in a fragrant, inviting cov...
The moonlight shone over the horizon as my lover and I drove along the deserted country road. He looked over and smiled at me, I smiled back, feeling so much in love with him. As we drove along, he reached over and took my hand in his, rubbing it softly with his fingertips...caressing my smooth skin. I laid my head on his shoulder, sighing softly...closing m...
It was the spring season in L.A. Niki had tickets for a matinee at the Music Center, a world-famous ballet company doing Sleeping Beauty. She and I had a casual relationship, based on common interests. Or to put it another way, we had casual sex whenever it interested us, which was quite often.

We are driving down a long straight road in the middle of the day. It's a beautiful spring day, the sun is high. We are on a long country road in the middle of nowhere. Green fields to both sides of the road, high with wheat and the smell of sweet clover alfalfa covers the air. It smells like a rich honey on the air. I ask you to pull over for a moment. You...
