After a great deal of effort I have finally gotten Steve to ask me out on a date and I am very determined that it will be a date that neither of us forgets in a hurry. Steve will pick me up at 7.30 to go to an opera and a late supper. I start my preparations for the night at about 4pm by turning on the taps to draw a bath. I slowly slip into the warm bubbles...
Do you remember Love Story with Ryan O'Neil and Ali MacGraw? Well, this is a love story of sorts, this is Dog Story. No, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Old Yella are not the dogs in the story, but it is a dog story, just the same. Think of this dog story as you would remember Dino on the Flintstones or Astro on the Jetsons. (Boy, I'm showing my age.) Where has al...
Lt. Williams looked up at the gray sky. The heavy overcast had grounded all flights as it seemed this weather had socked all the airbases and extended across the continent. He was thankful for the day off. He and the crew of "Tantalizing Take-off" had completed a dozen missions and so for only one crew member, Roberts, the right waist gunner had been hit. Ev...
Author's note: This is a tamer tale than many I tell, and that's very deliberate and for a very specific segment of my audience (you know who you are). As well as that, there's maybe a little more of the autobiographical about this one, but I'm not telling you which bit in particular... * I knew I was finally going to do it the moment I left the house that...
Kara'it (the apostrophe is like a cheek click) decided that it was time to mate. Her people had long-ago discovered the secret of interstellar travel and had visited the planet that rotated below her many times. They had observed the inhabitants; using television reception, remote observation devices, and the behavior and anatomy of people brought aboard the...
"Where is that man of yours, Sarah? He hasn't been by to see me for a week," Beauchamp asked. A week had passed since Stefan walked in on what appeared to be a passionate kiss between myself and an ex-lover, but was anything but. The fact that he hadn't stopped by or called or should have bothered me more, but I was still so stunned by the rape that nothing...
You know your girl well: always up for an adventure, always interested in trying new things, the more active and challenging, the better... you've often said it - the sexiest thing you've ever laid eyes on. Maybe it shouldn't have surprised you when I told you that I was taking pole dancing lessons. Or maybe you weren't surprised that I was doing it, but mor...
I walked in and saw you asleep on the sofa. I let my purse fall to the floor as I began to undo my jacket. I walked quietly past you and into the kitchen. I remembered there was somethin in the refrig that I had bought just for a time like this........... As I entered the livingroom, you had not moved. I watched you as you slept. Your strong chest rising s...
for my white tiger... She awoke from a deep sleep, he was calling her again. This was a nightly occurence that she ignored... until tonight. This time she would go. It was time to find out exactly why he penetrated her mind every night, not allowing her to sleep peacefully. The dreams came every night that she heard him call, they consumed her. It was as i...
The sound of the alarm was my first recollection that today was going to be a day that I would probably never forget. Never mind that it was tax day…April 15th, the day that most Americans absolutely dread. Instead, I was looking forward to it with certainty and anticipation. My workload at work was extraordinarily light, so I was able to think about the com...
