I knew I shouldn't call, but I called anyway. I should be glad that there is a loyal man left out there. I shouldn't tempt him. But I was missing his touch. Needing to go there again. The call was short and sweet. "I need your opinion on something," I said with a smile. I knew that he would know immediately that I was teasing but I figured it would take a...
It was close to midnight when I got a text from my friend and co-worker Ling: Hi Michael, sorry to bother you but I really need your help. Our power went out hours ago and the house is getting cold. I don't want Emma to get sick, so could we please stay at your house tonight? There had been a snowstorm and it seems some freezing rain damaged the power li...
The gulls circled overhead, catching the breeze in the warm summer air. One gull spotted a tempting morsel and did a quick dive to the beach, snatching an unfortunate crab. The other gull followed and decided it, too, wanted the struggling crab. The two battled in mid-air, seemingly colliding, causing the first gull to drop its prize. Within seconds a dozen...
One hour into the party and already Claude Baskin felt bored. He held a wine glass in his hand and smiled perfunctorily at the numerous foreigners, fellow expatriates and wealthy Nigerians who paraded about the lavish ballroom. He exchanged casual chatter with several. He pretended to take interest in whatever conversation flirted his way, but really he was...
Mike left Singapore reluctantly, but was excited about visiting the Indonesian paradise island of Bali. He arrived at Denpasar at night and was picked up by the hotel minibus. The drive to the hotel passed hundreds of Aussie tourists. But Mike was interested mainly in Balinese women. He had seen photos of these gorgeous specimens of femininity who until less...
Tyreese paced back and forth in the apartment he shared with nervously. His palms were sweaty and he couldn't catch his breath. This was his second year in Nebraska on a basketball scholarship, and despite it being boring place full of white folks, it sure beat his home town of Detroit! At six foot-two Tyreese was lean, muscular, and possessing high cheekb...
The new apartment was fine. Not nice, not really great, it was fine. By now Burton had lived in enough three-flat buildings in this city to recognize that they were all basically the same-- a living room up front with big windows, skinny hallway with a dining room and bathroom along one side, then a kitchen and the bedroom in back. The long narrow lots prett...
For all my life I had been a lover of a woman in a sexy thong. And well as I reached my college years that remained true and in fact my love for a woman in a sexy thong became more of an obsession. During class I would check out every woman I could to see if that t-bone was peaking out at me. Sure a lot of the time I was disappointed but often enough I'd be...
It was a bright, sunny and very warm day. Perfect for a late summer hike. Plus we saw lots of wildlife. Particularly birds. Shame I didn't bring my camera with me since I enjoy photographing wildlife. Especially avian, but I left it home. If I knew we were going to take a hike over the weekend I wouldn't have. We finally reached the stream, which is the ha...

It was another blisteringly hot August day in Dallas. Rose was in the ki...
