As I packed my suitcase, excitement coursed through me, making my pulse quicken. This business trip with Daniel was not just about closing a significant deal; it felt like a pivotal moment in my career, one that could change everything. I had always admired Daniel's sharp mind and charismatic presence, but the last few weeks had revealed a different layer of him—one that was both thrilling and terrifying. Standing in fron...

Initially, I wasn’t on schedule for today, but since I was a manager now, I had to come in for paperwork and to fill in for Katie, who was officially the General Manager. I dropped Noah off at Sadie’s place. Out of all my bandmates, she was the most responsible one. The theater was calmer today, and along with Lewis, Mack, another manager, was also on staff. “Congrats on the promotion,” Mack said when I walked into the ma...

My body was dripping with sweat as I ran down from Cinema 18’s low-side to high-side hallway. Outside, the storm continued to boom, and the emergency lights flickered on in the building. I weaved through the crowd of angry guests and rushed into auditorium nine. The screen was off, and the crowd of customers there were rising up from their seat. I pulled out my walkie and spoke into it. “Picture and sound are off in nine....

In my last chapters I described how I started an affair which took me to discover a slightly slutty side of myself. Then returning home from a weekend of pure sex I was left worrying after a phone call from my lover. I spoke to my friend Sue who was having a fling with one of his mates and she had got the same message. We were both asked to meet at a local pub for a party of sorts on Wednesday night. I informed my husband...

Tuesday, 9:09 pm “What a fucking day,” I said as I walked through the lobby of Solomon’s Palace. I meant it too - I’d woken up to a fantastic blowjob from Bobbi and made a Faustian bargain with her, though in this instance, I felt more like Mephisto to Bobbi’s Faust. After that, I’d reserved the room for another week, displacing some honeymooning couple over the weekend, but I made sure they were taken care of on my dime,...

It’s lounge lizard time. Just lying back, relaxing—end of a long, tough week. Fingers lazily tracing breasts and throat and lips. Contented, calm, peaceful moments. Your thoughts are still attuned to work as you start to wind down after another hard, but very rewarding day. You finally closed on the Dickenson house. Just over $1.1 million net and Rudy closed the sale of that new apartment building across town as well. The...

My name is Amber, I’m a single thirty-six-year-old who had recently moved to the city. Finding work was difficult, After a couple of months, my savings had dwindled and I was nearly giving up hope, I needed a job and this ad caught my eye for bar staff. It fitted well, as it was evening work, leaving me free to enjoy my days how I pleased. I got the job. I was now in my sixth month. However, since working at the bar, it h...

Lost in the atmospheric boom of my morning playlist, I climb the stairs to the second floor. Shamelessly, I hum along with the long melody arcs that ease me out of sleep into the Monday morning; who would be listening at this hour anyway? I find the heart-jumpingly embarrassing reply when I try the key to unlock my office door and it won’t turn. Instead, the handle snaps and the door creaks open like a new chalk stick on...

Throughout my career, I’ve had to travel to meet with clients. Usually, my trips are scheduled efficiently so my travel is easy and meetings are productive. Yesterday was different; I was traveling with my boss. We had a breakfast meeting in Pensacola in the early morning and another meeting scheduled in Tampa in mid-afternoon. A distance of 330 miles as the crow flies. This was doable, but only by helicopter. Recently, I...
