I drove back to Amy's apartment, knocking softly on the doorframe for fear of disturbing her neighbours at 2:35. The door opened as if by magic. She hid behind it as I stepped hesitantly inside. I looked at her with a curious smile on my face. "You have a magic door?" I whispered. She burst out laughing. "Yes, there's a lot of magic happening here tonight, Billy. Disappearing men, for starters." "I know," I said, "I apolo...

Pam and I had been on the go for almost two months. Near the end of September, we started to get jobs close to home. I’ll never forget the first job we could stay home. “Coffee, Baby?” I heard that sweet little voice. I started to sit up in bed, turned to take our mugs of coffee from Pam, and lost it. She was standing there in an oversized tee shirt, pink fuzzy slippers, and her hair in curlers. I had to make a mad dash f...

I thought it might be time to turn a hobby into a part-time job. Photography had always fascinated me; there was something about capturing a fleeting moment that felt almost magical. I loved all kinds of subjects, from landscapes to portraits, but it was one experience that eventually gave my life a whole new meaning. Life at home had been quiet for years. My partner, Jane, had turned her passions toward travel, often jet...

I cried off work the next day and remained in bed until after 10:00. Fending off recriminations was a hobby of mine and I refused to allow it to infiltrate my brain. Yes, I’m an alcoholic. Yes, I’ll always be an alcoholic. Yes, I deal with it on a day by day basis. Yes, it can be difficult. There were supports in place for me and I used them when it was appropriate. I also used the crutches of support that were always ava...

Sprawled on the sofa with the evening newspaper wouldn’t be everyone’s idea of an idyllic lifestyle. It wasn’t mine either, but I was tired after a long day on the site, I hadn’t changed my clothes and I was covered in dust from head to toe. The sofa suited me just fine. I had my kids for the midweek evenings while my ex worked the night shift at the local pub. My son, Gary, aged seven, had gone to his first training sess...

I woke at 4:00. I was in Jules’ bed. Jules’ arm lay across my chest as she slept, her breathing a cute cross between a whisper and a vesper. I remembered that I’d left my phone charging in the car, so I dragged on a shirt and trousers and went to retrieve it. Jules was waking as I returned to bed. “What’s the time?” she croaked. “A little after 4:00.” “Fuck! Are you ok?” “Yes. I always wake up around this time.” “Why?” “I...

I awoke to the sound of a shower running and reached for my phone. It had just turned 7:30. I texted Doug to say I’d be late. I then ordered coffee from room service and pulled on my trousers and shirt. I looked around the room and only saw Susan’s dress and shoes as they lay undisturbed on the carpet. We hadn’t made much of an impression on the floor. The bed, however, told a different tale. I sat on the side I had slept...

She was lost. Somehow, Elaine had managed to be separated from her tour group and now found herself wandering the streets of London alone. She had agreed to this trip with her girlfriends after her husband had unceremoniously dumped her for another woman ending their forty-one-year marriage. Never the kind of woman to be overtaken by despair, she chose to shake off the cobwebs of her former life and emerge stronger and mo...

Groggily, my eyes opened. I momentarily struggled to recognise where I was. The bed was a warm and cosy haven that held me in its embrace. I saw the tangle of discarded clothing laying on the dark grey carpet in a haphazardly logical tableau. The final garment, a minuscule black lace thong, resting in a misshapen dream on top of my navy blue chinos. I was alone in Heather’s bed and I smiled as images from the previous eve...

“Why?” “I can’t say, Maria.” “But, Tony, I ……” I cut her off and walked out of the room. I didn’t trust her. I decided to hold fire. I’d keep an eye on developments. Luckily Brady had come to the office and was checking some information on the Hartford job with Barry. They called me as I passed and asked me to sit in with them. “Tony, Brady is looking for information on these,” Barry said pointing at his computer screen,...

I closed the bedroom door and locked it. I didn’t want us to be disturbed for a while. As horny as I was, I understood that this was a significant moment for Dan. His girlfriend had left him for some unfathomable reason, and he was vulnerable. The mother hen in me wanted to cuddle him and make him feel better. The wanton slut in me wanted to fuck his brains out. The combination of the two could be disastrous or wonderful,...

We made the last pit stop half an hour from our destination. I had moved to the back seat an hour before. The twins had kept after me, sneaking in little feels and accidental touches until I thought I was going to scream. They had me so damn horny that it was unbelievable. I had to move or give up. I chose to move, and as I did, I pointed a finger at them. “You two stay right where you are.” The raging erections and grins...

It was still dark when I woke up Saturday morning. I felt my Sweetheart stirring next to me. I kissed her on her cheek, and she mewed. She touched the side of my face. “Mmmm, good morning, Lover,” Cynthia said. “Don’t tickle me, please. This is urgent.” She slid out of bed and scooted into the bathroom. I heard some movement and water running in the bathroom. A few minutes passed, and Cynthia emerged, hair framing her fac...
