The Saturday before Halloween was the date for the company party. Since this was to be the first one, Andy and Jeff were hoping for a good turnout. Most of the workers on the project signed up for it, but no one knows for sure until the party starts. The starting time was seven o’clock, by seven-thirty the place was almost filled. Andy dressed as King Neptune, and everyone bowed as he walked among them. There was a mobste...

Every summer, the owner of the company throws a party for his employees. He has a few acres well out of town. It comes complete with a four-room house and a good-sized pond. All of us chip in Fifty bucks to make it as much fun as possible and help cover the extras for our dates, wives, or whoever. I asked Valerie if she thought her Mom might enjoy the party. “Call Mom and ask her. I think it would do her good. And I think...

They had decided to take the day off. It was Friday and they wanted more time together. Valerie called Jeff. Her heart was pounding. “Good morning, Jeff. How did you sleep?” “I didn’t,” he responded. “All I could do was think about you. I honestly don’t think I slept at all. We are still going to have the day together, aren’t we?” “Jeff, what would you say to today and the weekend?” “Really? OH OH. What is your mom going...

Hot Dam – Whoop-de-do – Hallelujah – Sumabitch - a one-hundred-and-ten-yard kick-off return for the touchdown and the woman can kiss my ass, and I didn’t lose everything I have worked so fucking hard for eighteen years. If I listened to Sammi Jefferson and left that woman alone as she had warned me. I would have to go through all of this legal bullshit. Beer -thirty here I come. “Oops, damn, miss, excuse me. I didn’t see...

Tim was not feeling very productive. All he accomplished was to make a new sign. He wanted it to appear almost invisible, but he wanted to make sure he would not be open for business on January fifth. Then it finally hit him. Why was he busting his butt trying to come up with a sign? This is a small town. Not much custom occurs between Christmas and New Year’s. Tim decided on a sign for the door. Happy New Year! I will be...

Tim sat in the quiet of the living room trying to think. He was beginning to think that Cynthia knew their relationship would be coming to an end. She eluded it. But how? Oh, yes, female intuition, the sixth sense. His thoughts kept going back to Pat. Tim heard Cynthia stirring in the bedroom, he went to check on her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed smiling like the Cheshire Cat. She looked at Tim’s crotch and lick...

Tim sat on the edge of his bed trying to think. Would this be just a wild goose chase, or would he find Lillian? But where does Delany fit in or, does he? Are these two separate incidences? Tim began to wonder if Sheriff Thompson had gotten any farther with his investigation of Delany. What has Thompson uncovered, if anything? He finally decided the best move is to wait until morning. Then he could drop off Miss Emma’s co...

Sunday morning, Tim was awake before sunup. He quietly crawled from between his sleeping lovers. He was even going to go without coffee. Tim didn’t want to face the ladies because of having to say goodbye, but because he lied to them. But he was sure Delaney had something to do with the Sheriff wanting to talk to him. “I’ll have a cup.” Pat’s voice startled Tim. “I felt part of me leave.” Pat’s face was sad. “Pat, I don’t...

Tim knocked on Pat’s door mid-morning on Friday. When she answered the door, Tim was flabbergasted. She was stunning. Her auburn hair flowed gently around her face. Her makeup was dark for daytime, it was what Tim loved. Her lipstick blended with her makeup and glistened. She was wearing a tan blouse just sheer enough that you could barely see her bra. Her black skirt just reached her knees, and her legs were covered by s...

Michael’s mouth hung open, his eyes wide. “Yes?” was all he could say. By now, Sarah stood inches away from her mother. Linda put her arm around her daughter’s waist, pulling her closer. “I…I...” Words came slowly for her. “Sarah, it’s okay, go ahead.” Linda squeezed her butt. “This is a big step for all of us. Just say what you want to say. Nothing bad is going to happen, you know that.” Sarah bit her lower lip. “Dad, I...

Wednesday morning came within seconds of going to bed. We had coffee and toast, then I got ready to go to Overton. Cynthia looked wonderful in her see-through robe. She walked me to the door and gave me a gentle kiss. “Good luck, Baby. I’m going by my house to check on things. I may stop by to see my brother. Call me when you can. And Tim, I am very proud of you.” It was a very beautiful afternoon, and the road to Overton...

Tuesday morning, Cynthia and I headed back to Medford. It was another beautiful day, so Cynthia had the top down. I have to admit, watching Cynthia get dressed was a bit of an arousal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her put on her blouse without a bra. I’ll save that for the ride home. I was driving when we got to the two-lane road leading to the highway. I thought this was as good a time as any. We were approaching t...
