I watched as Allie ascended the steps into the private jet, still reeling from all the items she’d purchased for the trip. She had explained that she needed different outfits for each of the six days we’d be gone. It was a good thing the business was booming; she’d gone shopping with a vengeance. I considered it a small price to pay if it helped heal the rift between us. As soon as I entered the cabin, I could see the oth...

I stopped by the grocery store on my way home to buy some tuna and a litter box. When I opened the front door I was greeted by the pleasant odor of cooking, but the best thing was seeing my wife at home doing the cooking. Hobo jumped out of my arms and immediately ran to Allie, meowing and rubbing against her leg. She smiled and said, “You men are all the same. All you think is if you ‘rub on me’ just right, you’ll get yo...

I called Jack’s office and said, “I’m Jason Alexander, one of Jack’s clients. I’d like to talk with him please.” “I know who you are,” a woman replied. “He’s in the field today. He’ll give you a call or I can set an appointment.” “How about both? There are some papers I want him to read that are critical in my case.” “Does tomorrow at one work for you?” “Yes, perfect.” “Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Alexander… I’m fully awa...

After I finished cleaning up from dinner, I went to our home office where Allie was doing paperwork. She looked up and I gave her a kiss. “Busy?” I asked. “Just paying some bills. What’s up?” “Since we have this pool, what do you think about partnering with a therapy organization to give them access for water aerobics and therapy?” “It just so happens that we’ve been contacted by a major hospital wanting to do that very t...

    For my workout plan, I usually vary my heavy lifting to every other day, alternating between upper body and lower. Sunday, I set aside for recovery. Having a balanced program where you don’t over tax your muscles is important to an overall fitness plan. My name is Jason Alexander, and I’ve been addicted to body building since I was a teen. Fitness was my life… literally. My wife Allison is a licensed dietitian who is...

    The breaking sun silhouettes the form of your seductive breathless beauty. Your very scent triggers my memories and beckons me to renew our past exploits. I can wait no longer in my impatience, as I slip into the wetness of your folds. I remember your salty taste upon my lips as I dive head first into your undulating motion. Cresting, gliding, and moving in unison, your promised pleasures are unmatched. I slip and sli...

I wasn’t sure how to respond after learning that our law firm was just another shell corporation of a wealthy billionaire with a questionable legal standing. Physically, Lenny didn’t seem to fit my profile of a gangster. I always pictured mob guys to be fat Italian men with balding heads that talked with a Brooklyn accent.  Lenny was none of those things. He somewhat resembled a middle-aged Paul Newman: confident, if not...

  I could hear her drying her hair when I set her drink on the nightstand. I sat on the edge of the bed and thought about how bizarre my life was. Why was I promoted? Bob had never even hinted that I was being considered for a promotion. In a matter of just a few hours, my life was flipped upside down. It was still difficult for me to accept that my once conservative wife was a real-life porn-star. At least she had called...

  It was impossible to focus at work. My thoughts continually drifted to the revelations I’d discovered about my wife. I was so preoccupied with all the events happening around me, I had little time to digest it all. I had reassured Marika I loved her and that finding out she was a porn actress didn’t change but we both knew that wasn’t completely true. There was no possible way I could view her in the same light ever aga...

I waited outside of the examining room while Marika was checked and samples were taken. After a few minutes, I was approached by an older police officer in plain clothes.                                                                                                                                 “Are you Mr. Robert Thomas?” he asked. “Yes.” “I’m detective Folly and I have a few questions to ask concerning Mrs. Thomas. C...

  Marika, true to her word, emailed me a list of twelve family counselors that she used in her law practice and asked me to pick one. Being a pragmatist, I gave the list of names to one of my junior research associates. I asked if he could work on it off the clock as a favor. He agreed, and within a day he had a file on each therapist. My main concern was their rate of reconciliation, but that wasn’t possible because thos...

I had just finished a case I had been working on for several months, and against all odds I won. McPherson v. the state of California was a high-profile first-degree murder trial where I was lead council for the first time. It was one of those newsworthy cases that was tried in the press, making it almost impossible not to have a tainted jury. Even my firm considered I had little to no chance of winning, which is probably...

  Looking back on my life, I find it strange how completely random events have charted the course of my life more than the ones I planned and prepared for. When they happen, I’m almost always unprepared for the outcome. This story is about one of those times. Ever since I was a pre-teen, it was always my dream to own a Harley Davidson motorcycle, not some dirt bike or crotch-rocket, but a fully dressed custom hog. I can’t...

  Love is an enigma that can’t be fully understood. Poets and philosophers attempt to define it. Every race and culture throughout history embrace it and are willing to bet their very existence on it. Love seems to be the singular universal driving force of all mankind. The religious faithful claim love is a gift from God. However, science says love is nothing more than biological chemistry fueled by hormones and an overw...

  G A I L As I nervously drove to the hotel, I searched my memories and tried to remember when this first started. I think it was a progression of a thousand things over a very long period. All in all, I considered Mike and I had a pretty good marriage. We didn’t have a perfect relationship, but who does? I think (like many couples) we slowly became trapped in a relationship where intimacy was placed on the back burner fo...
