June locked the door behind her and did a quick walk around the property room. Being the weekend during the summer, it was as empty as she had expected as well as cool, quiet, and secluded, since few had the key and most of those were home for the summer. She went to her favorite place, a little alcove within a larger alcove on the left of the property room in the back with spare pillows and fabric, and sat in her spot be...

After Lynn had returned to the US, life for me settled back into a routine. My husband continued to be a pain. He had announced that he’d been chosen to head a sales initiative, which meant a trip to China within the next week. I was thankful that I'd have some time on my own for ten days. I eventually caught up with Sheila for the first time since the party. We both had so much to tell each other. I went round to see her...

Tina had been a cheerleader at Franklin High for three years, and if life was fair, she would be one of the most popular girls in her high school. But life wasn't fair, and while Tina had always been friends with the other cheerleaders, none of the boys ever seemed interested. Tina was tiny- just 5'3", and not more than 90 lbs—and was always the top girl in the cheer pyramid. She was good at climbing up, doing her thing s...

“And I believe that’s checkmate, Don,” said Charles with quiet satisfaction, casting a charming smile at his father-in-law. Don rested his glass of red wine on the table and passed his fingers through his long, dark blonde hair, casting a final glance at the chess board in a futile attempt to spot some avenue of escape.    Charles really was devilishly handsome and charming, thought Don to himself as he finally looked up...

Mike had definitely gotten Kim’s message that she was not impressed with his act of poor judgment. Sleeping with a prostitute on his business trip to the Caribbean? Not cool!  After Kim took her initial revenge, she didn’t want him making love to her for a while until he had truly learned his lesson. She told him he would have to follow her instructions before she would allow him access to her sex or for that matter even...

Kitty had heard about the music festival for years because it took place just a few miles from the trailer park where Kitty lived. Her mom told her that the kids who came to the festival were dirty hippies, and told Kitty to stay away from them. But every summer, Kitty saw the vans, and the kids walking in, who seemed to be having a LOT of fun. They all wore colorful outfits, both the girls and the guys, and they didn't m...

“Though of course, not so much evidence was recorded, the sources make it fairly clear that many of the peasants were practicing some form of birth control at the time.” A girl up front raised her hand and asked, “But what did they do?” “Coitus interruptus, most commonly.” “But wasn’t that against Catholic doctrine?” “Of course. It was a sin to waste one’s seed.” Then she looked around the classroom and, looking straight...

James reluctantly left his bedroom with a slightly wistful glance at Fiona still asleep in his bed. She was sent over from his Service to help him heal from injuries suffered during his last mission. She was doing more than just heal his physical injuries, but also reminding him that even with his replacement parts, he was still a man! His still healing leg was stiff and uncomfortable, but he knew he had a very important...

Having nothing better to do than hunt for a woman for the weekend or at least the night, Ben tried the beach. It was a perfect day, sunny but not too hot. He wore his royal blue boxer-style swim trunks and walked barefoot down the beach looking for possibilities. There were various sizes and shapes lounging under sun umbrellas but none of them caught his eye. That is until he saw Karen. She was walking out of the water, w...
