My wife, Donna, teaches third grade at a local school. She's had the same job since she graduated from college 22 years ago. She's blonde, smart, sexy, funny, beautiful, well...
"I'm going to miss you," Harry sighed as he held his wife. "When I get back let's make up for all the time I've spent preparing for this." He thought about all the nights he'd stayed late all for this goal. He reels this in, and they'd be set financially. "I get it," Laura stroked her husband's back, "I hope you nail it, but knowing you, I have no doubt." S...
My wife Jena and I were sitting at the hotel bar drinking away our last few dollars. We tried to figure out how the whole situation had gotten out of hand.

Herman and I were married in a tacky Vegas chapel that very night. Against the advice of all of his lawyers, he filed the marriage certificate immediately, without a prenuptial agreement. We had a small honeymoon on a small island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, (which he partly owned) and promptly returned to Vegas. Nobody in the company except for the sev...

Chapter 50 Yazmin Yazmin and my Mom Maryanne were roommates and best friends during their college years. Marriage, children and careers had conspired for them to lose touch with each other. It was funny that they had found each other again at a lingerie party thrown by a woman that was a mutual acquaintance. The two widows were now inseparable. Yazmin was...
"Dae? What the heck kind of name is that for a writer?" Audrey and Stephen had just made love on a king size bed, careless that the occupants of the adjacent suite could hear them. They, too, had been fucking like there was no tomorrow the night before. Audrey rested her head on her boyfriend's chest. He had a point, thought Audrey, but staring at Stephen,...
