I cursed Bev one more time when the notice for my reservation popped up in an email. I suppose I got what I had deserved for starting the relationship my pussy argued for, but my head warned was a bad idea. Bev on a good night was amazing, but what a temper. That temper drove me right out the door. Because I was afraid we might have a real fistfight if I didn’t go. Call me Anne, because that’s my name. I'm tall for a girl...

The four hot moms were seated together in the bleachers watching their sons play ball. None of them found the games all that interesting, they were just there to support their boys and the team. Watching a field full of young teenagers play pony league baseball in the summer heat can be a tedious affair. They wanted their boys to win of course, and they often did, but their attentions were not always focused on the action...

I never imagined myself being as outgoing as I was last Friday night. In fact, many would tell you that I lead a rather dull life. And at the age of twenty-two, that is a little sad. Oh, I have friends, lots of them. But when we hang out I am usually the last one on the dance floor and the first one to sit back down. I must admit, reading my own description of my social life makes me want to fall asleep. “Come on, Claudia...

“Mike died,” his wife, Shelly Carter, informed me over the phone. “Oh no! Shelly! I’m so sorry, hon.” It wasn’t a surprise, his cancer had become very aggressive in the last year. Still, it was difficult news for my friend. Shelly and I were work friends going back almost thirty years. She was "Auntie Shell" to my kids. She knew things about me no one else in the world ever did. Ten years my senior, I still had the hots f...

John rubbed the back of his neck and groaned. His wife, Kathy, looked around their new house and sighed. They were extremely overwhelmed at the thought of unpacking all of these boxes. “New houses should come with little helpers to unpack everything,” Kathy commented. “Kitchen faeries to put away all the glassware and utensils and bedroom gnomes to hang up everything in the closet would be might handy right about now.” “Y...

Marco had just logged into his workspace and ticketing system after starting up his computer Thursday morning when he heard the front door chime. “Shit.” No problem that his utterance was out loud. He was the first one in the office that morning, so no one else would hear. With a huff, he locked his computer and pushed back from his desk. If this wasn't someone with a key, he'd have to let them in, or if it wasn't an empl...

"I'm not scared. Are you?" Craig stood with his arm around Kerri, looking at the newest addition to their household. "No. We've talked about this for months. I'm sure we're ready." "We better be. No returns now, right?" "Right. No turning back now that we've set up our new little bundle of joy!" With a touch of the power button, their new espresso machine came alive. After a long time of wanting to cut down on the time an...

As a little girl, I dreamed of my prince charming astride his noble steed, whisking me away from dragons and evil queens. Never did I imagine that my potentate would also be potent in the kitchen. Two years later, my deft dauphin, Carter, is in his final semester at Escoffier Culinary School, and I am eight pounds thicker. The final semester - desserts - is heaven for my mouth and hell for my hips, all wrapped in one ligh...
