I awoke in the morning, showered, dressed, sat at the kitchen table, and savored my coffee. I thought about Wiley. He was handsome and witty, plus the sex was amazing. We did it in the pool, where anyone could have seen us. That had never entered my mind, as I was lost in our shared passion. I hoped to hear from him but didn't expect to till after finals. With that thought, my phone rings. I look, and it's Wiley. "Hello,...

We woke up on Friday and went straight to the pool to reserve loungers with our towels and Lori’s beach bag. We headed to the large buffet restaurant where breakfast was served and enjoyed our meal. We spent the next several hours at the pool working on our tans and had fun people watching. Our favorite game was “Guess Where They’re From?” There were guests from all over the world at the resort. Not only a lot of American...

My wife, Shannon, and I had been married a dozen years when our relationship hit a crossroads. We were both working full time, commuted an hour each way, and had two kids, ages seven and eight. Our plate was full of the kids' extracurricular activities, our extended families, and friends. We were always busy, and each evening exhausted. The result was no time for us as a couple, just the two of us. And this meant there wa...

I’ve been seeing the same Doctor for over five years now at a large medical group. It seemed like every year she would have a new medical assistant. Some of the women I’d still see in the “pod,” now working with other doctors, others never to be seen again. On a recent visit, I was sitting in the waiting area when the door opened and I heard my name, “Grant,” after a short pause, “Grant Michaels.” Having my back to the do...

Julie sat in her kitchen deep in thought. She was nearly desperate with loneliness. She needed the intimate touch of someone that loved her. Her husband Bob was around some evenings and part of the weekends, but he never treated her as a woman anymore. She felt like in his mind she was a somewhat useful utility. She was good for occasionally getting his rocks off and keeping his shit cleaned up. He never touched her roman...

The new couple had to take Friday and Saturday off from seeing each other as Kathy had her mother and younger sister in town to visit her at her new city and house. On Sunday morning, Kathy took the two to the Coffee Lounge as she knew Brock would be helping during the peak morning period. The three walked in and stopped, allowing Mom Julia and sister Beth to take a quick look around the shop. Katherine had obviously talk...

Sue and Cath didn’t take any notice of James and me racing through our breakfasts. But Sue looked a bit puzzled when I stood, so I told her we had something to do before we packed our bags, and we headed for the beach to find a spot where James could resume his account of the previous night’s activities. —— James was eager to get his encounter off his chest - “The kiss with Naomi was incredible; she wrapped her arm behind...

It was a perfect day. Seabirds cried and wheeled overhead as I walked through the sand near the water’s edge, studiously avoiding the rocky patches that dotted this secluded beach in Northern California. The air was warm, much warmer than usual for February, and I planned to take full advantage of nature’s sunny gift. My visit today was impromptu, with no specific goal in mind. A bit of exercise seemed prudent, perhaps fo...

Every Sunday, weather permitting, you can find Mike Phillips and his dad Mike Senior under the hood of a car, or under the car. Mike’s mom, Alice, said if anything happened to either of them, the only way she could identify them was by the butt in the jeans. Mike Senior worked as a mechanic, so Junior was born with cars in his blood. That’s the way it was until that day in November when Mike Junior went off to the Navy. M...
