Simone, my neighbor and friend, turned eighteen in the summer of 1986, right after we graduated from high school. Though she had a party planned for the following Saturday, she and her parents invited me to join them for a celebratory dinner at a nice res...
As I pulled into my father's driveway, I frowned in confusion at the sight of an unfamiliar car parked next to his. Dad didn't have many friends aside from his poker buddies, so I had no idea who would be visiting him on a Thursday afternoon. I'd recently...
We sit side by side on the couch, our laptops before us. He's brought work home, as is frequently the case, while I'm writing. We've passed plenty of evenings like this. Tonight, however, something about my demeanor captures his attention. Feeling his sta...
On my hands and knees, I searched the floor of my boyfriend's bedroom closet for a pair of shoes I needed. Griffin and I had been dating almost a year and had recently discussed me moving in with him. Since a lot of my stuff had already migrated over to h...
As Kelly and I stepped into her house at a little after one in the morning, we made no effort to muffle our laughter. Her parents were out of town for the weekend, so we didn't have to worry about keeping it down. My best friend and I were home for the su...
I can hear the murmur of men's voices as Jordan leads me toward his living room. His arm briefly tightens around my waist in a reassuring squeeze. The tender gesture makes me smile even while I take a deep breath to steady my nerves. Six men have come to...
Walt and I had almost reached the restaurant when he suddenly gave the steering wheel an exasperated smack. "Damn, I forgot my pager at the office." Glancing over at me, his face was full of apology. "Do you mind if I swing by to get it, Debra?" "Of cours...
I am naked and lying on my back. My head rests within the confines of Robin's queening chair, which is shaped like a box, its sides enclosed around me. I'm grateful for the padded bottom side separating my head from the floor. I'd find the contraption cla...
I went to see Chris late in the day when I knew most of the offices around his would be empty. You know that saying about feeling as if your heart is in your throat? That's exactly how I felt approaching his open door. I was showing up outside of his sche...
I stood in my bedroom, naked, except for the black leather harness I wore. Secured by that harness was a six-inch-long dildo, also black. It was definitely phallic in appearance, but not quite lifelike. Still, sporting it had a curiously arousing effect o...
Dylan stripped me of my lingerie like a man unwrapping a gift. Though we'd been together almost six months, he still treated every intimate encounter as if it were our first time. "What do we have here?" Dylan grinned while lowering the strap of my pink b...
Warren and I ate dinner in strained silence, for I'd given up on trying to make conversation. My husband was far more interested in refilling his glass of Cabernet than he was in talking to me. His expression was dour, and as I regarded him, I wondered ho...
I ran into Wes at the supermarket, of all places. My mom had asked me to pick up a few things for a new recipe she wanted to try, and I was heading toward the spices when I spotted him in the produce section. Wearing a huge smile, I rushed over to his sid...
On Thursday, I was so anxious that I could barely concentrate on my work. I kept thinking about Lance, and of what he and Dawn might have in store for me tomorrow night. For all I knew, she had no interest whatsoever in meeting me. This was Lance's idea,...
Lance moved to lie on top of me, and I eagerly slipped my arms around him. All the while, I thought of how I was the second woman to be fucked in his bed tonight. As he lowered his lips to my neck, I closed my eyes and vividly recalled the way Dawn had be...
