Jessica's hand slowly taps the floor of her bedroom looking for her cellphone. The only light in the room comes from a small lamp at the corner.

But she is not able to, her...
It was a beautiful Spring morning as I drove to the airport to catch my flight to Colorado Springs. I was looking forward to joining my husband there. He had left several days earlier for a week of seminar and a strategic business meeting. He was there with a few of the top officers in his company. One officer, Casey Brennan, was one of our better friends an...
She lay supine on the chaise lounge, her long Indian skirt draped about her. She must not have heard his car, he thought idly, throwing his keys on his desk and removing his jacket.

I took my time getting back from my half-baked attempt to run off with the love of my life, Janine. My surprise visit was a disaster in some ways, but good in one aspect. It gave me time to think about what I was doing wrong in my life...and how to correct it. I had almost made up my mind. I had concluded that my unconventional desires had led me to neglect...

Shaking my head in disbelief, as we head toward the elevator in my apartment building, I laugh, telling my cocky friend, "You must have one hell of an opinion of yourself, Danny. Nobody's that lucky with women." Looking slightly offended, he narrows his eyes at me. "What? You don't think I can get lucky tonight? Well, I've got news for you, pal, I've never...
