The morning came like a refreshing wind after the thunderstorm that raged the night before. The air smelled like the mountains, moistened by the rain. You lifted your head to the day, the sun peaking in the cracks left by the not quite closed curtains. As you peeled away the covers, you realized you were naked. Your nipples hardened with the gentle breeze...
It is such a beautiful day today, just like the days I remember from years ago when we used to take drives in the mountains near home. Days when the sun was shinning, the clouds looked soft and billowy, like balls of fluff in the azure blue sky. The air has that fresh crisp smell mixed with the scent of the lodge pole pine trees all around us. If it were n...
It's a hot summer day, so hot that heat waves can be seen rising from the paved roads--perfect weather for my beach excursion. I decide to go to the beach on a weekday; everyone goes on the weekend, so the beach is deserted when I reach it. I am armed with: an old large beach towel (just right for laying on the sand without worrying about it being ruined sho...
I had the weekend to myself, the girlfriend was away with her dad to visit some distant family members, neither of them really wanted to go but for the sake of possible future falling out it was the easier option. I had nothing planned and that was the way I wanted it. 3 days, 2 nights of me time, wake up when I wanted, get ready if I wanted and do what I wa...
I want to give special thanks to AlabasterThighs for her assistance in transforming the rough draft into a finished story. Her insights and eye for detail are an invaluable asset in my creative process. * * * I usually spend Saturday morning relaxing around the house, watching TV and doing any odd jobs that need to be done. But this morning I loaded my gol...
The sun was so hot she almost felt like she was melting. "Damn, I wish I had a cold drink." This morning when she had left the sun was just starting to take the chill out of the morning air. It was early when she struck out on her journey. Looking for wild plants to transplant around her yard, she had gone wandering, shovel and wagon in tow. The air was sti...
This is a continuation of the Di and Lew stories. You might want to read "Lew in the Morning" and "Old Friends, New Lovers" first. Thanks!!! ------------------------------------ I must have dozed off for a while. I awoke for the second time that morning to the same sound that had put me to sleep. The water re-organizing the sand as it pounded the shore and...
I couldn't believe my luck as I opened the curtains. The sun was already shining in the sky and temperature rising every minute. I couldn't have planned a better day for a picnic. I didn't see the need for formalities so just threw on my shorts and t-shirt. Today was going to be hot anyway! I had just met April (if you could call it that), we had just been...
Author's Note: This is the continuation of the journey of a man and a woman trying to re-ignite the passion in their marriage after raising 3 kids. In Part I, the experiences of a vacation to the Caribbean a year ago proved life-changing and marriage saving. The flame ignited in that trip began to burn a bit hotter each day since. Now this couple wants to ex...
The soft morning rain was soaking into my shirt as I made my customary morning jog through the neighborhood. The sun had just come over the horizon and combination of morning sun and water conspired to bring her memory back to me. It was a similar morning when we created one of my favorite memories. Alys was a beautiful woman. She was full of life and lovel...
