She was rapidly approaching the point of completely losing herself in the passion and pleasure of the moment. With her arms tied above her, and her legs tethered by long silken scarves to the posts and iron frame of the hotel bed, she could hear her own breathing accelerate with each passing moment. The new […]
I don’t want you to think I’m weird or anything. I just got curious about some things, and one thing kind of led to another… It started when I was dating a nurse by the name of Luke. No, that sounds wrong. I really don’t swing that way. I better back up. She was called […]
Later that night I was sitting on the living room sofa and Pat came in from putting the boys to bed. Pat had on a shear nightie. I didn’t even know she had one of these. Pat sat next to me and curled up leaning against my side. I put an arm around her and […]
Evelyn calls me at ten in the evening. At first I don’t recognize her voice, and then when I do an abrupt shock passes through me as I realize who it is, that it’s really Evelyn. “Are you alone?” she says. “Yes, of course.” “Why of course? You might be with someone.” “I’m not with […]
I got home late, tired from work. Everyone was asleep, that is, except for her, my darling. I did try to keep quiet, coming into the house, not wanting to wake our guests. But she’d waited up for me, quietly. As I sat in the kitchen with a cup of coffee, she came in to […]

I walked into the topless bar and almost immediately turned around and walked out. Too crowded, too noisy, too smoky… it wasn’t going to be worth it just for $10 table dances. On the way back to my hotel a small building caught my eye with the sign “Gentlemen’s Dance Partners”. I figured I could […]
She sips her tepid coffee and reads the newspaper, trying to decide what to do after the bills are paid and some sort of dinner is prepared. The house echoes heavily with memories of past birthdays, some bright, some dark, all sharing the presence of other people. Making a face, she takes a marking pen […]
I haven’t seen Tamara for nearly an hour, but then, I haven’t been looking for her. Her boyfriend — or, more precisely, the man whom she has been with lately, and who she wishes would be her boyfriend — has left the party early, and alone. I noticed she didn’t leave with him. I think […]
John had always been intrigued by the mysterious woman who frequented his local coffee shop. Today, he decided to muster up the courage to approach her. As he walked over, he couldn’t help but admire her dark hair, which cascaded down her back in loose curls, and her striking blue eyes that seemed to sparkle […]
