Part One White. The brightness felt like a physical force, blinding me. A name escaped my lips, "Anna," but the voice was a croak I barely recognized as my own. A rhythmic beeping drilled into my skull, constant and maddening. I couldn't move, couldn't even turn my head to find its source. I just wanted it to stop. "Anna." A voice was talking to me, a low murmur of questions I couldn't grasp. The only answer I had was her...

The summer I turned 21 was one I would never forget. By then, I had grown from the funny, chubby kid everyone remembered into a handsome, strong young man, thanks in large part to working construction. I still hadn’t decided what I wanted to do with my life. While some of my friends took off to university, I stayed behind in my hometown. It all started on July 28, 2006. My uncle had gotten me a job with a concrete company...

“Now, let’s have a look at the weather forecast, and by the sound of it, a big storm is about to reach its peak.” “Two large warm fronts are going to spill out to the south of Florida, followed by a big high-pressure column, which has already been blown and is now pushing powerfully in from behind, deep into the southern parts where it’s already very wet, as they’ve had at least eight inches. The moisture will soon be com...

I am Paul Lancaster, human, and I was bored, as bored as you can be when you fly an old Earth cargo ship solo. I was a trader plying the Eastern Orion arm of the galaxy. My ship was held together with gaffer tape and prayers, but it still flew and still passed most of the rules and regulations. I had a consignment to pick up from Keppler 22B. The cargo I was to collect was a tonne of Blue. Blue was a spice that originated...

Although I had never been to Jamaica before, I had heard stories about women, mostly white women, single or married, traveling to Jamaica to hook up with a young, dark Jamaican stud just for sex. I was one of those women, single, and needing something different and exciting. I booked a week’s stay at an adults-only resort and packed my sexiest items for the trip, including my tiny bikinis that left little to the imaginati...

“Ah… Louisville.” Daniel looked out from the airport as he waited for his Uber. It wasn’t long before his Uber arrived, and Daniel got in with his lone suitcase. “Headed to the Seelbach… pretty nice hotel,” the driver stated. “Yeah… here for business. Our company has dealings here, so every so often I come here.” “It’s an okay city.” “Yep. It has its charms.” It didn’t take too long for the south-end ride to the hotel dow...

It took me almost two years to get up the courage to ask her. Demi was great in bed and had more experience than I did. She was a masseuse and loved to touch and be touched. We met after my divorce. She loved sex as much as I did, and I felt like I had been released. We had great sex, and she was certainly adventurous, but this was something new. What would she think of me? I am pretty much a man’s man, so what would she...

This happened to me while I lived in Utah several years ago. My employer had asked me to manage a branch of the company that was failing in Salt Lake City. The promotion, and the money, convinced me to take the opportunity. I was single at the time, but I decided to buy a house in a slightly higher-than-middle-class neighborhood. After moving to Utah, I discovered that the Mormon Church pretty much dominated my new neighb...
