Here comes Alice, foot in front of foot, her hands in the warm confines of her jacket pockets, her hair carelessly tied back with a scrunchie, her eyes determinedly staring down at her black Doc Martens, step after step after step. She is not thinking. She is trying not to think. Her mind, one of the most powerful in this part of the galaxy, must be crowded...
Note, When I originally wrote this story, Josie's relationship with Fiona's father was much different, Colin was more brutish, and there was a period of non-consensual sex coupled with physical punishment. Josie bore it for love of Fiona, and to redeem Colin for Michelle, she was successful, but the story had a big dark bulge in the middle that distracted...
Many years ago, when my children were young, a friend and I were talking about the women that dropped their children off at school and how approachable they were. After all we had something in common; our kids probably sat next to each other in class. As the drinks flowed during the conversation, the opportunities this presented us, in our fantasies of cours...
This story follows on immediately from "Nicki's Mini". ***** Well, I loved my mini. For the next few weeks though, I really couldn't use it for work. It just didn't make sense because all the jobs I had were within walking distance of home, or, if they were further afield, they were near train stations: Lewes, East Grinstead, Littlehampton. Every day thoug...
We was down the Dog and Duck, Big Norman, Harley Charlie, that's the bloke with the 50cc Honda Moped and me and a few other lads drinking Stella and Strongbow like while we waited for a Lib Dem meeting in the back room to finish so we could meet up with Al and play pool. Their meeting dragged on like Lib Dem meetings always do, you know if we don't agree we...
'I need to see you, can we meet?' A text I was not expecting pinged on my phone Friday morning. Last time I spoke to Liam, almost a week ago, we decided enough was enough. We'd taken too many risks already, we had to cool it before it got too out of hand and people got hurt. We agreed we didn't want to hurt anyone. We hadn't messaged each other as we had s...
Wednesday evening, now 3 shopping days to Christmas Lady Barbara was fuming once she was able to close the door on Daniel. He had kissed her on both her cheeks, of course, he always did, and she had tried to squeeze him hard into her but she already knew that all was lost. His physical lack of response was evident. He offered to help her relight her fire w...
My life was never the same after I met the Reid family. Phil Reid was a dairy farmer and the largest farm client of the veterinary practice in which I worked. When Joe Sanderson, the boss of the veterinary practice, died unexpectedly I worked for Joe's widow, struggling to keep the practice going. It was a stressful time. I had graduated from veterinary co...
Chapter 14 – Sex in the snow It was a happy time for Gary. It had not simply been the one time with Zara that winter holiday; not just the time he had found her waiting in his shed with the snow on the ground. Far from it. He did not see her every day from then on but when she came around Gary knew it was not going to be just for a chat – though certainly t...
He had time to spend, and spent some of it in a small village on a small island. He'd been here most of a week, with his sketch book and his paint box and his walking stick, and the weather had been glorious. This morning was not glorious but overcast; rain had fallen overnight, and more was predicted for the afternoon. Sketchbook and paints did not fare we...
