Emilie unfolded the compact emergency shovel from her backpack. The cold mountain air numbed her nose and cheeks, as she utilized her frustration and anger to dig a grave in the snow. She tugged Joe’s beanie down over his eyes, cinched his jacket’s hood, and pulled his rigid body into the pit. Each shovelful slapped against the material of her ex-lover’s parka and blue jeans, as she hid Joe from the foxes and mountain lio...

"I'll be there in an hour. Be ready." My hands shake as I read this text message. If my husband knew I was in a hotel room getting ready to spend the weekend with Bryan, I couldn't imagine what he would do. We've been married less than six months, a marriage of convenience. My family believed Alexander was a suitable match. I stare at myself in the mirror. Following Bryan's instructions, I slip into a black dress, long wi...

"I love your work." "Mmmmm." "You're the best writer I know." "Yessssss." "No one can top you, babe." "Oh God, don't stop." "I'm your biggest fan." "Feeling the stretch." "I read every one of your stories." "Confidence swelling out of proportion." "Always comment..." "So fucking close." "Then shove a big throbbing '1' up your vote-box." "Satiating my inner-critic." "Beg for it." "Stroke my bloated ego and screw me with a...

Missouri’s tax code contained tricky language although Jimmy noted with a smile that Illinois offered tantalizing loopholes for franchises. After spending hours poring over microfilm and other reference material at the Millville Public Library, the Sitting Bull Bar & Grill executive assistant learned more than he’d ever wanted to know about out-of-state ordinances and statutes. He took copious notes before driving to his...

The new “All In the Family” episode was about to start when President Gerald Ford preempted the Saturday night broadcast with a speech about his plan to fight inflation. Margaret groaned. “Ugh, I don’t want to watch this horseshit.” “Me neither — I hate that baldheaded asshole.” Nicole snapped her fingers at her husband. “See what else is on.” Jimmy clambered from his spot on the floor and flipped the TV to Channel Five,...

Trish reentered the guest room, and the sounds of two bodies slapping together hit Brad’s ears before he even saw them. “Hey, Betsy,” Trish hummed and turned the camera toward the bed. “Your husband wants to watch.” “W-what?” Betsy gasped. She lifted her gaze to the camera, her face twisted half in shock, half in pleasure. “Oh, god. Honey, I’m so sorry.” Brad exploded. His wife lay naked on her back, her bare boobs floppy...

Brad swallowed deeply. His eyes drifted back to the last image. Yes. Please. He waited for the next photo, his two fingers and thumb jerking at his cock. Instead, another message appeared, and it made him moan in perverse decadence. Say please send me more pictures of my wife dancing with another guy. I thought you didn’t want me to remind you we’re married. I do in this case. Please send me more pictures of my wife danci...

Brad’s phone buzzed beside him, the screen lighting up to reveal the image of his smiling wife. The anxious husband stopped pretending to watch TV and snatched the device from off the armrest. It had been over an hour and a half since his last message, twice as long since his first. In all that time, Betsy hadn’t replied to a single text. Yes, she was on vacation, and yes, her best friend and her husband were taking her o...

I blushed and stood up to walk to the sink and get a paper towel and dampen it and clean myself. When I turned my back to him to get to the sink, Johnny grabbed my shoulders. He quickly slid his hands down my arms, forced my hands behind my back, and held my wrists in his hands. “Johnny, please, I need to clean up we have to leave now,” I said as I struggled a little but he was too strong for me to break free. Johnny forc...

I didn’t mean for anything to happen with Johnny, hell I was not even supposed to be in the examination room with the eighteen-year-old boy. I was helping a friend and fellow nurse. I am a Surgical Nurse and should not have even been assisting a general practitioner doctor with a routine physical. Johnny was the last patient of the day and the office would be closing soon. Most of the staff had already left including the...
