The summer I turned 18 was a turning point in my sexual life. It was August, a month before my birthday, and as hot as it gets in our part of the country. We lived near a large lake, and like many families in our area spent as much of the summer as we could in its cool waters and the shade of the pine forest that surrounded it. Unlike previous years, we di...
I have mentioned in other stories I have written here that I worked for many years as an English professor at a small but expensive New England college. I retired at the age of 65 as a result of the college's policy of mandatory retirement—a stupid idea in an age when most people live longer than they did in the past and most retain their brain capacity. I c...
Short and sweet for Summer Lovin 2020. It's my first ever contest submission and is inspired by a true story and some great memories. * Back in the Summer of '87, my dad took me and my brother to a resort in Wisconsin for a week's vacation. I was just a 13-year-old kid and wasn't really looking forward to missing sandlot baseball games in favor of fishing...
Sure, little lady, you can come aboard. Deelighted ya stopped by, whatever it's for. Let me give ya a hand. Nice day, isn't it? May get a bit rough tonight when the storm blows through. Can I offer ya something to drink? Now, now, I've got all kinds of stuff here: bourbon, Scotch, gin, vodka. Even got some craft beers from the monastery, Belgian stuff young...

I was nineteen and had just returned home from my junior year at boarding school. I was old for a junior, but home-schooling doesn't always prepare you for the world like it should. I was primarily just relieved to have successfully completed the first of the two years my parents had planned for me to attend. All things said, it had been the most tumultuous...
First timer here. This entire project was actually too large for its own good, so I broke it up into 3 parts. Parts 2 and 3 are coming soon. * "Just keep doing what you're already doing. As you work, I'm going to place my hands on certain muscles to make sure you're not overly straining anything." Gabrielle turned back to her task and rolled her eyes when...
I didn't figure it out until last week, more than 20 years later. At the time Macey was a new girlfriend, 19 and adventurous with already a wild past. We were just getting started and I was not yet privy to her stories and her curious streak. Later that summer and into the next year I would learn more about her, but did not put the facts of that night toget...
You Are Not My Father. That was what my daughter Amy said to me. She was right of course, we had not met until she was twelve but much to the amazement of the three of us we got along well from the start. I did all the Dad things and perhaps a few more. I took her out on a to dinner dates on her birthdays, just the two of us. I taught her to drive. I was a...
Summer laid on her bed. She was only three days past her high school graduation but already feeling the boredom from summer creep in. It was a rainy day, and none of her friends were around to hang out. Her parents were gone, and no one else was in the house. As she laid in bed, her skirt gently slid down her legs. Suddenly the mood struck her. As one hand...
