Emma arrived in the train's dining car, wearing a stunning, strapless red dress she had impulsively bought before her trip aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr route. It was nearly Christmas, and the car was festively decorated. She found a table by herself, setting her camera next to her. She was still reeling from the previous month, where her long-time boyfriend abruptly broke up with her, resulting in a creative void for...

Chelsea tried not to fidget as she and James waited inside a casual American/Mediterranean-style restaurant situated about halfway between downtown Chicago and O’Hare Airport. They had made sure to be early to their scheduled appointment. Chelsea was reluctant to even call it a date because she wasn’t sure what it would be. They were meeting up with Angela, the waitress she had been texting over the past week. Angela had...

I could not believe it. I just could not believe it. One of the hotel’s many elevators had just broken down - stuck somewhere between the fifth and sixth floors - and standing on the other side of the uncomfortably small space was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. As I looked at him in awe he smiled, dimples showing, as our eyes met. I smiled back shyly after a moment, not wanting to disturb his peace - or worse, say...

Chloe's childhood bedroom, plastered with posters from her youth, became the setting for a passionate afternoon tryst. She and Ethan had arrived at her house after leaving college, consumed by raging desire and youthful lust. Though her mother had strictly forbidden having boys over while she was away, Chloe invited Ethan in, leading him upstairs to her bedroom. Chloe's heart pounded as she brazenly brought Ethan into her...

Amanda had planned to meet Jen, a long-time friend, in town later that afternoon. She showered and changed into a new pair of skinny jeans (these were VERY figure-hugging, especially around her buttocks) and a black t-shirt. Putting on some makeup, Amanda decided that she'd be ready to go when the time came. Amanda made herself a fresh pot of coffee and rolled a small joint. It was just after 1 p.m., and Amanda thought sh...

“All right, that's it for today, everyone,” my professor said, turning away to begin erasing the whiteboard. “You have your assignments, and I'll see you next class.” I smiled to myself, watching and waiting as the other students left before hugging him from behind with a soft sigh. “I couldn't wait to see you today.” He smiled, turning to me with open arms and a teasing grin as he dropped the eraser to lead me into his o...

On the drive home, Fran started the conversation almost as soon as we got in the car. "So, how'd you like your lunch?" "It wasn't that bad, the appetizer was delicious though." She slapped me on the shoulder for that wisecrack. "Oh my God, you are so bad! Seriously though, how'd you know I was ticklish behind my knees?" "Uh, I really didn't. I was just enjoying feeling your legs in your stockings when they almost buckled...

It was Saturday morning. Hailey's parents had gone to Dallas for the weekend and Hailey was alone at the breakfast table with the family's house guest, Brian. He asked, "So what are we going to do tonight?" "It's date night. I've got a date," Hailey replied apologetically. Brian gave Hailey a disappointed look. "I had one too, but I blew it off." "Blew it off... why?" Hailey demanded. "I thought you might want to practice...

The next morning Hailey was sitting at the kitchen table in her underwear when Brian came out of his room for breakfast. He paused and looked at her from the doorway. "Not quite as skimpy as what you were wearing yesterday," he observed, "But still mighty fine." "You approve then," Hailey asked, pushing her chair back and dropping her arms to her side. "Yeah... I mean what man wouldn't." Hailey was in full tease mode. She...

"Ooops!" Hailey said as she retreated into the hall, "I thought you were still in bed." Brian was seated at the kitchen table with his back to the hallway door. At the sound of Hailey's voice, he turned. "Still in bed," he asked, "At 8:30... why would you think that?" Hailey was mostly hidden behind the door frame. "Well uh... your bedroom door was closed, so I just assumed -" "Bad assumption," he said, "And why are you h...
