Without thinking, I took my hand from Darren's. That subtle gesture made him appear stricken, and he rushed to say, "It's only a suggestion, Gale. I absolutely understand if you're not interested in doing that." I didn't tell him no outright. Instead, I racked my brain for another way. "Wouldn't it be easier if I went with you? I could stay at the hotel while you're working." Darren set his mouth in a grim line. "I wish I...

Upon hearing the news, Darren told me he was leaving work and would be at my apartment as soon as he could. While impatiently waiting, I was overcome by the irrational fear that my milk would dry up before he arrived. I busied myself with stripping out of my clothes and putting on the robe Darren loved. A short time later, he knocked on my door, then immediately opened it to let himself in. We stood in my living room, our...

This whole experience just kind of happened; neither of us had ever been with anyone else in our eight-year marriage. The story is pretty long, but I think it will be worth reading. I’ll give the back story first so you can understand the whole context. I’ve always been faithful to my wife, and she to me; I trust her. She’s only twenty-nine, with me and my buddy that she was with, are in our late thirties. My buddy (JJ) a...

Opening her apartment door, Whitney greeted me and Brandon with a huge smile. "Come on in, you two! I'm so glad you could make it." As soon as we stepped into the living room, she gave me a hug. "I can't wait for us to get to know each other better," she whispered. Turning to Brandon, she gushed over the apple pie he'd brought for dessert. "My favorite! But you shouldn't have gone to the trouble." It was then that Banks s...

Lifting his head, Trey looked down at me with an unexpectedly shy smile. "You're the first man to fuck me," he revealed. I raised my eyebrows. "So this wasn't what caused your divorce?" I knew that wasn't any of my business, but considering the means by which Trey had gotten himself into my apartment, I didn't feel bad about asking. "No," he replied, his smile fading. "My ex-wife and I just became different people than we...

As Irving strode down the cobblestone street, a haze of smoke surrounded him. Women and men alike covered their faces with handkerchiefs in an attempt to avoid the acrid odor. Though the mask Irving wore often grew hot and uncomfortable, he was glad for it now. Rowena had filled its beak-shaped protrusion with a variety of pleasant-smelling herbs just that morning. When he drew in a breath, the comforting scent of lavende...

A couple of years ago, I began mowing lawns and doing small landscaping jobs to earn some extra spending money. It was a modest investment with a tantalizing potential. In our small town, the only job options seemed to be fast food joints, the pizza place, the convenience mart, or the grocery store. None of those options appealed to me. I craved freedom in my daily life and the joy of being outdoors when the weather was p...

Having just gotten out of a relationship, I certainly wasn't planning to meet anyone new at my friend's party. Dax had invited me in the hopes that it would cheer me up, and I decided it wouldn't hurt to make an appearance. By the time I arrived at eight that Saturday evening, his small house was filled with people. "Tristan!" Dax greeted me with a grin and a clap on the back. "I'm glad you showed. Let me get you a beer."...
