Janet… It hurt me to see Dan like this. I know he loves Anne more than anything. He has been so supportive and stood by her with all of her mental problems. They had weathered those storms together, so I knew they could weather this one. I have loved Dan since before my divorce and before we made love. For me, it was making love, but for Dan, we were just fucking. Either way, it was glorious, and the mere thought turned m...

The constant stream of people seeking information was something she had come to expect. Their questions had changed little over the years. While the number of customers remained fairly stable, their expectations and lack of manners had become increasingly challenging. The shifts and overtime were necessary to pay the bills, especially in the big city where rental prices were much higher compared to what she had paid when...

I never replied to my lover's text about meeting again. As much as my body ached for him, I tried to push it out of my mind, keeping myself busy preparing dinner for my husband. Chopping, stirring—anything to keep my hands moving and my mind off the temptation that still lingered. The guilt weighed on me, pressing harder each passing minute. I needed to act normal and focus on my husband. Smoothing down the red dress I'd...

Half expecting her to call or stop by to apologize, Jack worried more that Haley seemed irrational about it. She didn’t give him half a chance to explain what happened or assure her of his love. He knew that her husband had betrayed her repeatedly and left her as he didn’t want to be tied down to one woman and children. That helped him understand why she felt the way she did, but he hadn’t behaved anything like her ex. He...

Father Thomas felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead, his body trembling with the aftershocks of his own climax. He had never felt such a powerful rush of pleasure, and the realization of his sin weighed on him like a ton of bricks. He had crossed a line, one that could not be uncrossed. Mrs. Castellanos opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his through the sticky mesh of the confessional screen. The look of shock and gu...

On the day Darren was to arrive home, he let me know he'd made dinner reservations for three at his favorite restaurant. It was a fancy place, one I couldn't afford to frequent even when I had a job. No longer feeling the need to be modest, I chose a black dress with a plunging neckline. To say my cleavage was ample would have been a huge understatement. Once I'd gotten ready, I waited until I heard Darren's car out front...
