This is the fourth in the series of stories written in collaboration with Alphamagus about Robert and Juliana and their love. Robert and Juliana had already been in the Maldives for a week. He had booked the trip as he knew how drained Juliana had been recently. They had both been under the pressure of projects, deadlines and keeping clients happy in their respective work, for months. It was time for a break before either...

I am a person of substance A woman with character So what I seek is the same A man with principles Who is authentic, not a player With the same sensibility One who is capable of love  As well as lust and passion  I am not a quick shag Not a temporary solution  To a long term problem Not a fungible receptacle for you To use and discard for the next in line Another crude female lollipop A woman who is not disposable  There...

I never believed in fate That anything might be preordained Meant to be I am full of contradictions Both rational and romantic Even spiritual sometimes But not in a religious sense My spiritual experiences were The result of beauty The symphony, paintings, words The golden light of Tuscany Paris at dusk Those were my transcendental moments But then there was you I have been loved before But never like this So tenderly and...

This is the third in a series of Robert and Juliana stories written by Alphamagus and me. We will continue writing them so long as there is fun to be had and a story to tell. Juliana and Robert finished their Friday night dinner but not quite as planned. There had been a mishap with the Eton Mess that Robert had prepared and they ended up wearing as much of it as they ate. It was all over them and the dining room table. T...

This is the second story written in collaboration with Alphamagus. We are enjoying it enough to make it a series, assuming you enjoy it as well. Juliana and Robert were both foodies. They ate out frequently but also enjoyed shopping for food from various market purveyors and then cooking together. Dinners during the week were generally simple, given the long hours that both of them worked. But, on the weekends, there was...

If ever there was someone Deserving of love It is you – smart, funny Kind and thoughtful Warm and caring Filling me with affection From an ocean away We were both unhappy Fate smiled that day  When thrown together You said I captivated you Stimulated your intellect Along with your libido You made me feel adored At a time when I was neglected You called me your darling Long conversations That mended both our hearts And tho...

There was a time When it was new My heart missed a beat When I saw you There online Charming, different Teasing and laughing Beguiled by you Your rough edges  Made sparks rubbing against me I paid no attention To what happened When I was absent Time zones saw to that You wanted me all for you But would not give the same Demanding ownership Taking more than you would give Because you had to be free To be here or gone For m...

There is so much between us That does not need saying As we intuit thoughts And our shared desire Authentic conversation Punctuated by raucous laughter Hopes, dreams and fantasies All seem possible with you. You are romantic and warm Lavishing me with affection Arousing me always To love you and make love. You are strong and seductive Overwhelming me As I surrender completely To the naughty and forbidden Fucking you wanto...

We all have a past A bank of memories  Both happy and sad Of love and passion Excitement and delight Loss and heartbreak. Je ne regrette rien. Fleeting encounters Where impetuosity overcame reason Fuelled by intense desire Being mutual objects of lust  Like a flash of lightning  Incandescent, hot, ephemeral And soon gone.  Je ne regrette rien. Having been loved deeply And loved back as well Sharing everything  Corporeal a...

Always the good girl  But like most good girls With a weakness for bad boys, Dangerous boys making me a bad girl. An intelligent and elegant woman With a simmering sexuality beneath Never fully expressed with lovers Though still surprising them With my sensuality - until you. Until you. You charmed me as bad boys do.  You knew what was there Inside of me, even if I did not As we found our way to bed. You pushed me further...

We cannot see each other but  In your eyes I am beautiful. We cannot feel each other but I live in your heart. We are so far away but You are always close to me. We cannot know each other but  You make me smile. We cannot hear each other but You make me laugh. We cannot touch each other but I sense you holding me. All of our senses so acutely stimulated By each other and yet we are alone. We cannot make love and yet We ha...

There is Only Now We can only live in the moment No past or future, only the present Time stolen from others Out of the dimensions of time and space. Moments seem endless And hours seem short  Because of the intensity between us And the knowledge that our time is not infinite. How does this happen? This understanding, this connection? Distance makes us remote  But allows us to be closer Our defences down Game faces remove...

This is a first effort at publication. Please be gentle. It is twilight – that wonderful time between day and night That the French call l’heure bleue – the blue hour. As I look out over the water, the infinite horizon where it meets the sky I wonder if you are looking at the sky now thinking of me As I am thinking of you and remembering Your kisses and caresses, your tender embrace Warming me all night. We drifted off to...
