“You haven’t been yourself, baby,” she commiserates, and it’s true. Clouds flatten the cold sky outside the window. Silent birds huddle in the trees. His response to her: a low groan. “Something's missing.” She slides her finger one knuckle deeper into hi...
Later that evening, Percy got home and plunged right into the horrible mess. Sandy was not about to let up, not this time! “Admit it, Percy!” she yelled. “Admit what hun?” came his pitiful, yet all-knowing response. He knew damn well what she was referrin...
Later that evening, the clock ticked almost to ten. She’d be home shortly, he thought. He didn't wish to mention anything of what had happened. It was just easier to say nothing. “Hey how was your day with Mimi, Sand?” Percy spoke walking on eggshells. He...
Clayton Bailey, coworker of Percy, benched Press at his mom’s pad a few days later. He flexed his big guns and sweat dripped off his monstrous arms and thighs as he busted 40kg of man-power boulder-weight! Mimi had filled him in on Percy and Sandy’s love...
Percy arrived home that evening with a puzzled mindset. Initially, he was astonished at Holroyd’s gesture. It was unicorns and rainbows, the excitement of the trip that lay ahead with his work buddies. Yet it all seemed to deflate at the mention that he w...

Early retirement hadn't turned out to be the idyll either of them expected. Buddy had sold his business back in February and Sheila had had enough. For six months she had put up with his lazy-assed, fucked-up, king-of-the-hill attitude. It wasn’t just tha...

My wife Lynn and I are really not very compatible; it’s kind of amazing that we got married in the first place. And ironically, I think it was my sex drive that was the catalyst. We were young then, and she loved my attentions; it was an ego boost for her...
She sat back in her chair and took several breaths. “Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I can’t back out on Andy, but I can’t say no to Donald either!! Oh my god.” She grabbed her phone, deleted her message, and started again: “Hey honey...
It was a cold December morning, but Annie was warm and cozy under the covers. She stretched out under the soft sheets as she blinked her eyes. The sun was barely starting to come through the blinds. She snuggled back against her husband’s large frame. Her...
“How much cheese would you like on your eggs?” Luke asked as he flipped the omelet. The scent of fried onions and peppers filled the kitchen. “Do we have goat cheese? I love lots of creaminess in the morning,” Erin replied, then laughed at her own entendr...
A rush of warm air hit me as I opened the door, twitching my nose to the sweet scent of banana bread. I shook off the snow from my fur and basked in the comfort of finally being home. My ears perked towards the kitchen. I could hear Sophie washing some di...
