Well, here we go, Mark thought as he heard the bathroom door open. Tessa slowly made her way to the bed on feet sore from a long day at work. She gave her long blonde hair a shake, dislodging a few strands that were caught under the thin straps of her top. Five years married, the sight of her in pajamas still made his heart race. When he smiled at her, she...
When I got out of my steel grey Lexus RC F, in a very White part of the city, I knew that I would draw looks from just about every person on the street. My 6'1" stature, along with my shaven bald head, and no facial hair, make for an intimidating look. Add to that, my very dark African skin color, plus a 240 lb hard-earned frame, most people take notice righ...

We're not born into this world to make it out alive. _______________ I remember falling in love with the curve of her mouth. The swim at midnight, salt in our kiss, bodies floating together, meeting in the middle of the pool. Then diving, tugging her by the ankles to pull her down with me. Her face, illuminated by the pool lights, looking at me in shoc...
Carl had been really successful in business. Because of that his wife and family enjoyed the better things in life. Big vacations, fancy cars, and a lot of the right connections in life. Business and Mormon Church duties took up a lot of his time, but his personal life and love life seemed at the top of the heap. Two years into their marriage Carl was doing...
There we were eight of us at the diner, all of them were Caitlin and my closest friends. Our host's where Jimmy and Linda Lange, then there was Phil and Carla Thomas, Tony and Jean Marsh; my wife Caitlin and myself. Whilst Caitlin assisted Linda in serving the food, the rest of us made small talk. We all knew that when we had finished the meal the subject of...
Just for a little while. We hadn't been away, just the two of us, for several years. We thought a trip to the Caribbean would do us some good. We just didn't know how good! We arrived at the resort around 7pm. It more than lived up to its billing! (I would certainly hope so at the cost!) Anyway, we had a nice dinner, a couple glasses of wine and then some...
My wife and I were good friends with another couple, Kim and John. We would often go out together for dinner. Unfortunately when we were with them both they liked to squabble. It was always petty stuff and I would look at my wife and wonder what was going on between them. When you got them alone they were always on their best behavior. I couldn't figure out...
This story is jointly dedicated to Papatoad, the granddaddy of flash stories, and HDK, the wizard of all things twisted! * My ex-wife was sitting in front of me and crying her eyes out. "You must have something left from the divorce settlement. After all you did get 1.3 mil from the sale of my business and our house." I asked her as I offered her a glass...
Most people would never look at Jay and Terry and expect them to have the type of bedroom secrets they did. The married couple were clearly in love and very affectionate, but behind closed doors they took it well beyond what their friends would ever think possible. After nearly a decade together, the last five years as husband and wife, they had developed a...
