It had been a very long day, made longer by a client who took advantage of the business he did with Jim to drink into the early morning hours. Drinking to forget an unpleasant marriage, he was in no rush to get home. Making him even later, Jim insisted on...
Rachel glanced again at the clock. Where was he? She’d expected Bertie to be home almost an hour ago. She acknowledged that it could be traffic keeping her boyfriend out of her arms, but for this long? No, something was up, and Rachel had to consider, not...
The woman in the seat next to mine glanced at my carry-on and asked, “What’s Black Rose?” I never check my laptop case, but I have a luggage tag on it when I travel. It’s one of those tags that has a clear plastic pocket on one side to hold a business car...
I'd been promoted to branch manager a few years ago and was very successful in that role. I prided myself highly on the output of my branch. I'd taken a new approach when interacting with my subordinates. While my predecessor used fear tactics to persuade...
Rachel stood next to naked in the corner, considering her options. She begrudgingly admitted she’d put herself in this position, but by her count, she still had several hours to find a solution to the problem she’d created. It was Bertie’s birthday – not...
Rachel whistled. The volume of the snow outside her apartment window had doubled since the last time she’d looked out, less than a half hour ago. The sounds from other tenants spinning their wheels in the parking lot was becoming irritatingly familiar, an...
I had a fantastic childhood growing up in a neighborhood with over a dozen kids my age. Never lacking a friend to play a game, go for a bike ride, or explore the woods, it was idyllic. There was a pretty even count of girls and boys, and as such, we also...
The next day was Good Friday, which meant that Tony would be home from work, as he would be for the following three days. The potential good news for Louise and Calvin was that there were two football games on TV, so Tony and Chris might be glued to the s...
Richard was twenty-three, a PhD student at a prestigious British University. He was doing one of those PhDs that only someone else with a similar PhD understands. He had been in London, visiting some friends. They had drunk a lot the night before. Being s...
Rachel had found herself in the dark, praying for illumination as to what could possibly be wrong with him. Bertie had been withdrawn for the last week, quieter even than usual, and while her boyfriend was a classic introvert at the best of times, he also...
She had spent most of Saturday afternoon picking the perfect outfit. She’d started one of her old band t-shirts as a base, but had trimmed off the sleeves and cut strips into the shoulders, which she had then braided and accented with wooden beads. The bl...
“Rachel, we’re going to be late.” He spoke as evenly as he could, but Rachel could still sense the tension in his voice even with her eyes glued to the screen. Bertie could be such a stickler for punctuality. He stood in front of the door to their apartme...
Dear God, it was good to be home! Rachel looped her purse around the doorknob as it swung closed, and stepped gaily into the kitchen of her single-bedroom apartment. This night’s gig had been a slog – a nearly empty bar, and those that had stayed through...
Sleep remained difficult for Chloe. She was looking forward to being with Professor Mike again, remembering how, just this afternoon, he’d pulled her into an empty classroom and spanked her. It didn’t matter that it was short: the complete surprise of it...
Elizabeth Bennett was aged fifty-nine, and she liked to be spanked. She liked both being spanked for pleasure and for punishment, but in either case the spanking needed to be hard. She was a widow, and she decided to join an online sex site seeking a male...
