I scanned the faces on the crowded train, many looked hot and flustered. A hard day in a sweaty office followed by a busy crowded commute home. No wonder they looked tense.  One guy stood out though; tall and cool, standing opposite me in the corridor and just to the right of my hubby who was sat on the aisle seat opposite me. Linen shirt and chinos, blonde with grey streaks and his pale blue eyes which strafed my body. L...

  If you didn’t know, I’m A retired engineer. I worked in the aerospace industry Primarily working with jet engines, so it wasn't a surprise when a friend of mine called me to ask me if I would be interested in looking at a design he had. Don came over to the house that evening. After getting him a beer, we sat at the kitchen table where he pulled out all of his drawings and notes. It turns out that the machine he designe...

“Here is the situation, Jonny,” Elena began as her husband sat down after handing us our drinks. “You used our credit card to get cash to gamble and you lost. Again! I am not going to bail you out this time.” His name was Jonathan Charles and he hated being called Jonny. He thought of himself as Giancarlo and looked and acted the part of the Italian playboy. Having a wife with the look and style of a model on his arm rein...

He needs her now. There is this constant ache to touch her and to see if she is everything she claims to be. Every day he logs on to talk to her and to get lost in her words. Work is now an afterthought to his carnal needs.  Yesterday he made sure to flirt with another to see her reaction. Just as he suspected, she marked her territory with the perfect comment on his profile. The only problem is, she won't show her face n...

  We both lay on our backs staring at the ceiling, our naked bodies spreadeagled on the bed. I felt a thin skin of sweat on my back and forehead as I breathed heavily. Neither of us said anything for a second, but I could hear Deb blow her dark fringe of hair away from her eyes. She broke the silence. 'Well, wow. That was intense,’ she said, turning her body slightly to face me. 'Absolutely. Oh My God.’ ‘Feels like a mass...

It was still dark when I woke up. My joints were cracking a bit as I stretched out in the bed under the blanket. I recalled watching Die Hard last night and drinking a toast to Bruce Willis. And of course to myself, since my birthday came the next day. The silence and the peace that morning felt unusual. There was no need to hurry anywhere, to huddle breakfast to anyone, and even the neighbor wasn’t hammering as usual on...

Love. A simple and small word, but it carries such a strong meaning. Is it possible to love two people? Or better. Could I love two people? Questions and more questions. Three months have passed since our first “incident.” My passion for him was stronger than ever, and we used every opportunity we had to be together. I had gone back on birth control because I honestly hate condoms. My husband had a vasectomy after the bir...

Research shows that women are aerobically superior to men, according to a running podcast to which I subscribe. I’m sure the usual disclaimers apply, but this came to mind as we were running a local 10K on a Sunday and she was long out of sight ahead of me. Soon enough, the finish line was in sight and I saw her standing there, with a post-race glow and her medals around her neck. I finished and she hugged me. We walked h...

Chapter 2: Let's Make Up Lynn walked into the bedroom and threw the bags down on the bed, a white lacy suspender belt falling out from one of them. "Wow," smiled Chris, "you weren't kidding about the weekend." "I certainly wasn't. Now lose the dressing gown and turn around. Shut your eyes too, keep them shut until I say otherwise, and remember, no more questions." Chris did as he was told. He really wished he could watch...

Chapter 1: Sexual Equality It was Saturday morning, they were both lying in bed awake and the tension was almost suffocating. At last, Chris had the courage to speak. "Look, I'm sorry, but I just can't switch on like a computer at least not right now, I need something to get me going. I do love you, but all this stress with my job just makes it really hard for me." "Or not hard!" came the barbed reply from Lynn. "Well, th...
