Annie awoke to the sound of the shower. The morning sun was streaming through the open curtain over the sliding door to the tiny patio, and she strained to open her eyes in the bright light. She quickly decided it was not worth the effort, and laid her head back on the pillow. Memories of the night before came flooding back to her. It was a night of firsts f...
"How we doing tonight?" This was the fourth time the waiter had come by in ten minutes, she thought. Did he know? He'd watched her ass the whole way - she felt it. And he knew she knew, by the heat on her face and the way she wouldn't meet his eyes. But did he know? "I'm great, thanks." She pushed around the garlic potatoes on her plate in what she hoped...
About ten years ago I was out of town on business in Wichita, Kansas. It was going to be one of those trips where you live out of a suitcase so long that you would be tempted to go the grocery store and buy a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly to feel like you were home. I dreaded the trip from the very beginning in that regard, but it...
The next thing Carla knew, her feet were on hot sand. She screamed. This was not the Saint Philip General Hospital. It seemed like a nightmare, more than anything. The heat! It was searing, lapping at her toes. A dark feeling of dread coursed through her body, and she trembled, in pain and in fear. She saw black, twisted towers extending over the horizon,...
Sex between my husband and me was wild for a while but, as I think happens to most couples, life, kids and finances wore us down and we returned to a normal once or twice on the weekend schedule. After my oldest started kindergarten, I started to work part time to help with the finances to at least reduce that part of the stress in our lives. Because I had a...
Communicating on a telepathic band no humanoids could perceive, much less understand, the coordinating intelligences behind the Intai Juhen invasion of the colony world Delporte pondered their situation. The initial invasion had gone well. As usual, the insertion of assault forces had gone unnoticed until it was too late, and the combat drones had smashed th...
Curiously, I don’t think I’d have seen her if the night had been brighter. The streetlights gave out an orange glow that seemed to flicker and glimmer on the pavement in the light rain. There were strange, hazy reflections. It was about ten o’clock and I was walking home quickly, trying to escape the chilling rain. After a difficult shift at the nursing...
Master took me to the lounge tonight. He wanted to have dinner and drinks with some business associates. He set out a little black dress and some high heels. I showered in the afternoon. I made my skin as soft as it could be and conditioned my hair twice so it would be soft for Master to touch. I rubbed lotion with oil in it into my skin. I painted my toes...
I was sitting at my desk, outside Ms KC. Rider's office when my mobile phone flashed. 'Message' I clicked it open; it read, "You look HOT today– going somewhere nice?" I scrolled back to see who the sender was – Tommy, one of our sales rep's. I looked around the office, to see him sitting 20 yards away, grinning like a Cheshire cat. The phone flashed, again...
When Bobby got home from Mrs. Fargo's house in the wee hours of the morning, his home was quiet. It looked as if everyone was in bed. He walked quietly down the hall toward his bedroom and noticed a dim glow under Lana's door. "She's probably staying up late studying," he mused as he walked by. He went in his room and stripped off everything but his underpa...
