The seat belt sign came on, announcing that they would be landing soon. Lynn looked at the blanket of white out the window and instantly regretted her choice of attire. She was flying into Denver in December dressed in a sheer blouse and miniskirt. Her high heels wouldn't do her any good in the snow either. "Fuck," Lynn thought to herself, trying to decide if looking hot was worth it. Lynn loved the attention she got when...

It was our tradition to spend the Christmas break at our cabin up in the mountains. This year, my sister's flight home from college was delayed due to the weather, and she wouldn't arrive until the next day. Mom and I decided to drive up ahead of the weather and get the cabin ready for the holiday, and Dad and my sister would come up later. Mom and I left early because she didn't like driving the mountain roads in the dar...

I am a traffic control flagger for a local road construction company. The workweek has been brutally hot, with temperatures soaring to a scorching one hundred fifteen degrees. Friday was a day that will remain etched in my memory for the rest of my life. I had just halted traffic on the two-lane road when an eighteen-wheeler came barreling toward us. Fortunately, there were only eight cars in line. The truck driver had th...

Kevin strolled the exhibition floor, glancing at each booth he passed. The booths were advertising various services and hardware for pharmaceutical development. This conference would likely be the biggest sales day of the year for many of these companies, and the exhibition floor buzzed with the excitement. A few vendors recognized him. “Mr. Canidae!” exclaimed a young man seated behind a table of swag, the booth behind h...

Anton had always wanted to play a woman. A talented cellist, he had occupied principal chair in the city’s symphony for the past three years. Music was his life, but this, his douleur exquise, was a burning tattoo on his soul. An unrequited craving that created a bottomless ache in him that he tried to satisfy with his cello but never could. Play her like a musical instrument. Bring exquisite music from her, wringing sens...

I slipped out of my night shirt on Christmas morning and put on my robe to start a pot of coffee first before going to take my shower. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I clicked on the light and saw my nephew had been sitting at the table in the darkness. By the time my feet hit the floor from jumping around in fright, my robe was wide open, giving him a full view of my naked body. There was no doubt that he'd seen my...

My long-time girlfriend and I go to her family's Christmas party every year, where they have a white elephant gift exchange. It usually gets out of hand with some of the crap that the family brings. This year, I decided to throw something in that would surely cause a stir. We don't use names, so I thought, why not? I couldn't wait to see the fireworks fly. My girlfriend's sister ended up getting the gag gift. She went whi...

I’d heard her initially, clicking heels echoing along the drab subway platform. It was almost midnight on Christmas Day. Turning at the sound I only saw her from behind. A cascade of honey-hued blonde hair flowed over a short, dark winter coat. Her legs were bare. My eyes slid across her black heels, hovering over the thick leather straps that circled each narrow ankle. Her coat hung loosely; other than her glorious hair...

The room swirled around him. His heart raced out of his chest. He had to remind himself to breathe. This wasn’t really happening. It had to be a bad dream - surely he would open his eyes any moment now, and none of this would be happening. Only, it wasn’t a dream. It was very real. “Landon? What do you have to say for yourself?” Andrew queried in a stern voice. Andrew was a co-owner of the plumbing company Landon had work...

Kevin stepped into the hotel hot tub, grateful for the opportunity to relax after a long day at the pharmaceutical industry conference. The hot tub was empty except for a single woman, reclining with her eyes closed. The jets partially obscured her frame, but he could tell she was middle-aged, perhaps 40, with a slender build. Something seemed a bit off about the stranger. The way she shifted every few seconds, arching he...

The capital city of the Bothage Kingdom, Rivendell, is situated at the edge of a dense, towering forest and is truly a modern marvel. Its charm is complemented by the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, which have significantly influenced the city's development. The wealth generated by these mountains is of great importance, and they have also played a crucial role in shaping architectural designs, as the majority of build...

A violent storm had passed, and Max was busy cleaning up the debris in his yard. In addition to picking up all the loose branches and raking piles of leaves together, he also had a ladder to reach broken branches dangling threateningly overhead that needed to be cut loose. Heather’s attention was drawn to his efforts by the occasional sound of the chainsaw or leaf blower, and she smiled as she looked out her kitchen windo...

The warm Autumn sun was beating down on me as I took advantage of the perfect day to do some yard work. I had worked up a sweat as I raked the leaves and separated some of my perennials in my flower bed. The perspiration was running down between my breasts, despite wearing only a tank top and shorts. A familiar car slowed at our driveway and pulled in. It was Jeff and Kim. I hadn’t seen them since the the night they invit...
