My wife, Diane, and I met our darker selves one evening, after she cheated at cards. A game of Bridge, of all things, nearly tore us apart. We were guests of Cyril and Coral, a couple we had only recently met, initially through Diane's legal work. The following evening we coincidentally met them again at a London club. Over drinks they extended an invitatio...
The alarm. Again. He had heard it now maybe twice before, and always at intervals of 10 minutes. Time just enough to fall back into dreaming--the plot continues but is now informed by that subliminal contingency of just 10 minutes more. Shit. Why don't she turn the fucking thing off? And so consciousness arrived to confirm a splinter--at first only a v...
Eddie Bennet had a busy morning. He had traipsed on foot over the last three block radius to read each and every homes water meter. Documenting the usage before journeying onward to the next residence. Today his normal routine journey got a whole lot more interesting. Glancing at his clipboard while making his way behind a large Victorian style mansion he c...
I have a confession to make. I cheated on my wife. We were not in a good place, and the affair just sort of fell into my lap, so to speak. It started last December. We were getting ready for my office's annual Christmas party, my least favorite part of the holiday, when we had a bit of a spat over my tie. Yes, my eventual affair hinged on such a petty argume...
"Hey Bren," called my assistant Sarah. The home office called while you were out smoking. You Better call Mr. C back. He didn't sound happy!" "Okay, thanks dear. I will call him back straight away," I replied as I headed to my office. As I was opening my door Sarah continued. "You know, you really have been taking a lot of smoke breaks lately. We are all co...
Erica had some time to do her nails before Collin was to pick her up, and she reflected on her conversation with her husband, James. She was glad James had gone to Becky's 18th birthday party which had been held several weeks after the actual birthday. It was good of him to do so on his own, and show support for the teenager who had been so close to them....
TWO Several days later Bridget returned home from shopping, after I had returned home from work. She had stopped by her office before going on what was obviously a shopping spree. She had a multitude of bags and sent me to fetch them for her out of the car. I had already prepared dinner, as she had instructed per her note left on the kitchen counter. Brid...
**Author's Note: This chapter in Amber's life follows the 'Amber in the Rain' stories, but is still well before her National Nude Day exploration. It's also a slightly different direction for her. Please, tell me what you think. Sara's Demand Ouch. First times with anal sex kind of suck. I got over it, but owee. Well, the truth is, it didn't hurt all that...
If one word were used to describe Margot Smith it would be…amazing. She was the most well rounded individual in the high school, being a good athlete, a talented artist and musician, and she still retained a 4.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. Margot was the picture of popularity, but she never showed it. She was just as at ease playing football with the jocks after a b...
The lights were off and I sat on the couch in the dark living room and stared at the opposite wall and wondered how it could possibly have happened to me. I had always thought of myself as a man. Truth be told, and I admit to some ego here, I would have considered myself a 'manly man.' As a middle linebacker I made All State in my junior and senior years in...
