Summer. Hot and heavy, like the air was thick with moisture and tension. There was a smell of burnt leaves in the forest. Nina was walking barefoot along the cool footpath, her sandals swinging in her left hand. She had black hair, shiny and long, hanging down her back and floating across her face. Ray …
A Tale of Two Paramours Ch. 14
I stood in the dark, Jessika still in bed behind me, as I stared at Jessi’s last text message, the one that had followed pictures of her with another young blonde, Amara. The pictures included one of Jessi and Amara kissing, one of Jessi fondling Amar’s exposed breast, and one of Jessi’s sucking on her …
A Walk in the Woods
It wasn’t a river. I guess stream would be the best word for it. Two inches to two feet deep, depending on where you were standing, and only about 30 feet wide. When my wife started wading down it, I had no intention of following. I was wearing sneakers and was happy to stand on …

A Little Something in Common

I knew Amy in particular would be as relieved by the …
A Dream Come True
1. Drugs are my life. As a pharmacist for 20 years, I thought I had seen everything there was to see. On Tuesday night, October 27, 1998, I found, to my delight and surprise, that I was wrong. It was two o’clock in the afternoon, and I had given my deliveryman the rest of the …
A Camera Voyage
He was middle-aged — if the mid-fifties could be considered middle-aged. He wasn’t six foot four, but he was a tall man. He wasn’t wiry, anymore, but he managed his weight well. He had the typical gray fringes that a man sometimes gains, but he still had most of his hair. Admittedly it had gotten …
The Egyptian Teacher’s Night Out
Mrs. Ehda was new in town, she was to replace a science teacher in the local school. A tall and stacked Egyptian woman with fantastic curves and a soft, silky touch who was not only a teacher but a devoted wife and mother of 2 kids. However, this did not stop her from not only …
Accidental Pick Up
Flying to Phoenix for the first time and almost deaf had me worried. It was my first experience with an e-ticket. I am widowed and trying to do new things. On the shuttle, a young lady helped me open my app and find my ticket. She then sat next to me inside so when they …
