It was Spencer’s annual tradition to go to Lake Tahoe for his birthday week in early June. Since his divorce five years ago, he continued to go, now simply staying at a casino hotel for the week instead of renting a vacation home. Of course, he no longer had a wife, and his kids were now living their own lives after graduating college. Spencer was a serious golfer, having learned to play as a child. Spencer, his brother,...

March 15, 2010. There's always a day that the universe conspires to present one with a gift from the heavens. There is no method of ascertaining when that day arrives. There are neither portents nor indicators of good fortune, neither are there any physical or psychological manifestations nor fluctuations in weather patterns. The skies don't open up either. There are, however, moments that warms one's heart, little bits o...

It was Clare’s nineteenth birthday, and she was out celebrating in the city with Karen, Sarah, and me. Currently, we were in the popular “Luke’s Bar” waiting for the last two members of our group, Jaz and her boyfriend Rob, who normally was stationed in Germany with the army. For me, Rob was an enigma; I had heard so much about him and yet did not know him at all, other than he had fucked Clare last summer. It happened no...

Halloween fell on Friday that year. The weather had been unseasonably cold, and the weather reports hinted that there was the possibility of snow, but it was not until late that night. Gwen had texted Patti to ask if they could postpone the dinner. She didn't want to come over and have to walk back to the dorm in the dark in a snowstorm. Patti offered to let Gwen stay the night or the entire weekend if it did happen to sn...

On a frigid early October Saturday, Gwen Kirkpatrick sat at a table in a tiny cafe, looking bored while sipping her chai tea. She'd finished half of her five-mile run with Paul, a guy who sat next to her in their first-year biology class. He seemed like a nice guy in class, offering to help when Gwen had questions. He wasn't pushy, so she accepted when he invited her to run. Now, she was regretting it. They'd run the two-...

Blair sauntered over to her car as Ryan drove slowly out of the parking lot. Her clit throbbed in her sopping skivvies. The driver’s door was barely closed when she had her hand down the front of her jeans. Warm liquid coated her fingers as they sunk into swollen folds. Her thumb pressed circles on her clit while her fingers stretched and rimmed her pliant hole. Blair reclined the seat and closed her eyes, imagining Ryan’...

Scott was exhausted. He’d been traveling for twelve days living out his “Bucket List” baseball trip. He’d been to four cities, five ballparks, and saw six games. The highlights were seeing games at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park, and his first visit to New York City. He was up early to catch his first flight of the day. He left Boston, took a short flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, and was finally boardi...

I stood there in front of the mirror, dressed in my black tuxedo, the reflection telling me I was James Bond. However, despite looking suave and feeling debonair, my overall demeanour was one of uneasiness. Tonight I was going to walk the red carpet and be thrust in front of the press. It was a thought that had me checking the tux’s lines once again, and then I heard Sarah giggling. “You are hogging that mirror longer tha...

Jay huddled his coat closer to his body, shivering in the sharp chill of the night air. The darkening sky hung heavy above him as he made his way towards the grand hotel, its lights casting a warm glow onto the bustling street below. In the warm and inviting hotel bar, he was about to reunite with his friend Eliza, who had journeyed from Australia to be with him on New Year’s Eve. He breezed past the doorman and entered t...

It’s not unusual for Karina to stop by my desk to acknowledge a comment made in a meeting or pop into a casual conversation at the beginning or end of a workday. But it is unusual for her to pull up a chair and show me something on her computer, as she did Friday of last week. After all, Karina is our Chief Financial Officer, responsible for budgets, expenditures, maximizing profitability, and ensuring financial data comp...
