His dark eyes met hers from across the crowded bar, with just a glance she knew the countdown had started. She politely excused herself from the table grabbing her purse and made a quick dash to the empty bathroom. With each step her heartbeat pounded in her throat. Entering the private stall she took a deep breath of relief preparing herself. Before she could exhale his hands were upon her. He violently tugged her dress...

The woman had worked in Lord Crow's building for three months and this was her first appraisal; her manager and someone she didn't know doing the appraisal and a third very glamorous woman sitting quietly behind them in the corner who looked at her strangely. After the meeting, which she thought went well she asked some of the women she worked with who the corner woman was and they replied she was Lord Crow's PA. A few da...

I first spotted Lacy working late one night on a dispute over land rights. My client had built a $200 million high-rise luxury condo project exactly two feet over the legal setback. Dumbasses. Now they were going to pay me so much in legal fees, I might be able to upgrade my boat. But this story isn’t about lawsuits. It’s about Lacy. Her apartment was almost directly across from my office. Between our buildings was a park...

Lord Crow opened the door and offered her a hand out. She shivered but although she was naked under the hooded cloak except for stockings and heels it was a warm night - she shivered in anticipation. Lord Crow led her to and through the mansion door as it opened. Her mouth dropped seeing the party goers inside in various states of exotic dress or undress and she blushed bright red under her mask. Everyone was masked apart...

It has been a long week at work. A new job to be done, and due dates have made the week busy. It’s Friday evening, our night. Dinner out. We normally dress together to match and also to tease each other a bit, not to fall in that boring comfortable routine. That innocent brush, that stolen kiss. I look at the clock again. 7:15. I was supposed to get home at 6:00, to get ready for our night out. You are waiting for me at h...

Niceties. He stood up when they were over and done with.  He noticed the change in her demeanor. He knew she’d be his. She just didn’t know yet what that would entail. She tilted her head coquettishly up to him and put down her glass of wine. He grabbed her in her neck and pulled her up, kissing her feverishly as soon as she reached his mouth. It made her want to please him. He pushed her down to her knees and she lifted...

I barely remember the fifty minutes of traffic as I drive back to my house from dropping Sue off at Robert's condo. My brain keeps replaying that unforgettable mountain top sex Sue, and I shared and those last words she said when I dropped her off, "... it will be a dinner for two."  I'm a few minutes from home when my phone buzzes with a text message from Sue, which I key my car to read aloud to me. Hi, I'm going to my s...

Green hedges flashed past the passenger window, occasional gaps and gates giving Ben glimpses of the fields of Warwickshire, the distant trees rendered grey by the March rain. Really not much to keep his attention from Smita’s wedding ring, glinting on her light brown finger below a deep red, painted nail whenever she turned the steering wheel. I really shouldn’t be doing this. He tried to steal a glance at her unseen, bu...
