The walk from the Speak Easy pub to the condo was short but brisk. Light snow was falling, and the mood was festive, illuminated by Christmas lights galore. My boyfriend, the pub owner, was happy with the season and its profits. We let ourselves into the condo, shaking the snow from our overcoats before entering. “John, we’re home,” my boyfriend James shouted to his roommate. No response was received and a quick peek into...

Once, we danced in the summer light, Two hearts beating in perfect time, But seasons changed, the days grew night, And love slipped out, like silent rhyme. In whispers now, the memories fade, Of laughter shared and promises made, A ghost of warmth in the coldest shade, In lost love's shadow, I quietly wade. Yet, though you're gone, the echoes stay, In dreams, in thoughts, where shadows play, A fleeting touch of yesterday

The alarm sounded and Lisa and I reluctantly parted ways, spending an extended amount of time at the front door, kissing and caressing. I walked her over to her house, still naked, and watched as she went in. I complimented myself on my boldness at being naked out front, but it was almost midnight, and our neighborhood was mostly asleep. I entered the kitchen, poured myself a glass of wine, and wondered what was happening...

I cringed when I heard the forceful knock at my door. It had to be the landlord again, wanting the rent. I had begun my final internship before graduation at a very prestigious company. These internships often led straight to employment, which was my hope. I had to quit my job waiting tables at the Speak Easy pub because of the demanding nature of the internship. The insistent pounding came again and I reluctantly answere...

The warmth and gentle massage of the hot tub slowly revived me and I idly wondered if James was hard again, and then I put the thought away for another time. I got out of the tub, acutely aware of my nakedness as I toweled off and walked back inside, carrying my robe. I put some jazz on and looked at the spy equipment I had received from work. Rhonda had charged everything, so I downloaded the app and tested the camera an...

The stars were beautiful that night, and I thought later that even the most talented astrologers could not have predicted the future events that would unfold for us. The next few days were uneventful for me, although Rhonda and Lisa had several bonding experiences during the day. I finished my grant project on Wednesday and decided to take Thursday and Friday off for a four-day weekend. I worked out in our home gym on Thu...

The question was out there, hanging heavy in the air. The only sounds were the soft bubbling of the hot tub jets and the crickets. The pause immediately affected Lisa, causing her to attempt to retract her question, “I am so sorry, Rhonda. I shouldn’t have been so presumptuous, but I thought you two were into sharing, and I got caught up in the moment…” Rhonda stopped her by sitting up abruptly, putting her wine glass dow...

I hung up the phone, and Rhonda slid over, kissed me, smiled, and said, “Phase one looks like it’s underway.” “Yes, it is; I was thinking tomorrow night. I think talking about this got James so hot and ready to go earlier.” “He was ready to go, wasn’t he?” She gave me a prolonged, probing kiss and said, “I’ll tell you a secret. I loved it when both of you just fucked me hard and without any warning. I am to the point wher...

So, as it came to be, I was sitting in our kitchen in my robe, sipping Irish coffee and watching my beautiful naked wife prepare breakfast, She was wearing a sexy apron, however, popping bacon grease can be harmful. Her beautiful ass was on display at all times, however, which made everything alright. She paused from flipping the French Toast, looked over her shoulder, and asked, “When are you going to tell me your plan?”...

Once again we were recovering from a night of rousing physical activity, seated in our robes on our deck. This night had been shorter than the previous one but was equally as satisfying. “You don’t think I was too aggressive, do you?” Rhonda asked, just before taking a sip of the special Irish coffee I had prepared to speed our recovery. “Absolutely not, if anything, it was exciting that you knew what you wanted and went...

The morning found us tired, sore, and hung over. We slept late and eventually dragged ourselves out of bed to the shower. We decided on a bit of “hair of the dog” and had about half a glass of wine each and felt much better. Rhonda had on panties and a robe and I had a robe on with nothing underneath. We had our coffee on the deck and the bracing morning air helped revive us. We had avoided discussing the previous night,...

The decision to rent our mother-in-law suite as an Air BnB rental was life-changing for my wife, Rhonda, and myself. We interviewed an engineer who was working on a project to expand our local airport. The projection was six months but these things were unpredictable and we gave him the first choice for an extension if necessary. His name was James and he projected an air of quiet confidence and was not intrusive in the l...

We leisurely strolled through our new playground and were once again amazed at the sheer size and opulence of the place. It brought to mind pictures I had seen of the palace at Versailles. There was room after room, some with doors closed and some open for viewing. We passed one with a dominatrix, in the appropriate dress holding the face of a handcuffed female slave against her crotch and was obviously in the throes of a...

The twilight was fast approaching and rain was coming down in sheets as I approached her door but nonetheless, I paused to read the plaque posted on the wall. The lettering was engraved in heavy brass in old Edwardian script lettering, "Laura L. Wellington Clinical Psychologist Ph.D., LPC, ACS”. I moved closer, oblivious to the rain, and lightly traced the letters with the tip of my index finger and felt the familiar surg...

The darkness moves slowly like a reluctant lover its fingers tease the memories of their passion that grew until it threatened to consume them and it did now sitting on the hill collar to the chill I peer into the twilight that mysterious time when light touches dark and we are there
