I had just turned eighteen and graduated from high school. I landed a summer job at Sunrise Cemetery as a groundskeeper. The head of maintenance is Ms.Carter, who works alongside two other employees. She lives on the same block as I do. She is in her mid-thirties, attractive, with brown shoulder-length hair and bright hazel eyes. She is 5 feet 2 inches tall and has a curvy figure. As the newcomer, the boss assigned me the...

Today was the day that I was going to tell her. Walking up the staircase, I heard water running. Reaching the top of the stairs, I noticed my parents' bedroom door was ajar. The shower grew louder as I approached, and after stepping inside, I removed my clothing. Standing there for a moment, I inhaled deeply, settling my nerves. I approached and stood in the doorway to the master bathroom; with a nervous voice, I said lou...

Thanksgiving was only two weeks away. Jeff felt as helpful as tits on a bullfrog. He knew that tables and chairs would need to be set up. Valerie wanted some decorations since this was their first real holiday together. While he was thinking about all of this, the thought came to him. How did Valerie’s Mom know about the accident and call Valerie? When Valerie walked in the door, Jeff greeted her with the usual kiss. He a...

The rhythm of jazz floated lazily through the smoky air, curling around conversations like ribbons of silk. The Paradise Club was packed tonight, alive with laughter, clinking glasses, and the velvety notes of Evelyn Sinclair’s sultry voice. A haze of cigar smoke lingered, mixing with the illicit sweetness of bootleg gin and the powdery bloom of expensive perfume. The night belonged to whispered sins and velvet shadows. F...

Tammy and I were in bed having our morning coffee when my phone rang. I knew it was Vincent because of the designated ring. He wanted me to go to a new build on Hawthorn Street. The foreman on the job is Marvin. I should get in touch with him. I doubted there could be two Vincents. I’ll find out, that’s for sure. When I showed Tammy the text, her expression turned sad. She kissed me and then got out of bed. I hesitated, b...

Jake got dressed and made his way down to Dr. Caldwell's office, arriving just a little before three. When he entered the office, he was met with an unexpected sight. Instead of Naomi's beautiful, welcoming smile behind the reception desk, a young man wearing a slightly rumpled dress shirt and a sweater vest was seated there. “May I help you?” the man inquired, his voice polite but with a slightly pompous tone. Jake felt...

I woke up, and for a few seconds, had no idea where I was. The grogginess faded, and I looked next to me in the bed for the answer. She was the answer to everything, really. By the time we had both got off work and moved my stuff to the storage building and her apartment, we’d both been so exhausted that we fell asleep almost instantly. After six months of dating, we knew it was time. Our schedules made it difficult to ca...

James breathed a sigh of relief as the last gym patron headed out the door at about ten minutes until closing. He was expecting Amy any moment, and anticipating what would ensue in the showers after their workouts. The phone rang, and he swallowed hard when he saw the name of the gym owner – Amy’s father – on the display. He took a couple of deep breaths, quickly practiced the standard company greeting, and then answered....

I wore my French Maid outfit and got to work spring cleaning, humming a happy tune. I opened the windows to admit the spring breeze, blooming lavender scenting our home. The day flew by while I dusted and cleaned. I bent to sweep some dust under the corner of the rug when hubby walked in and caught me. “Catherine!” he scolded. Bending me over, he spanked my bottom, exposed under the short dress. “Oh! Gregory!” I yelped. H...

I would like to think that my café girl adjusted her chair for my benefit. We have seen each other at the café several timesa week for the past three weeks. She sat down, and the waiter came over to take her order. Deep in thought, she closed her eyes. Her right leg crossed over and rested on her left leg, causing her short floral skirt to slip up slightly. The skirt roseenough to reveal the gentle curve of her right butt...
