Fifteen Minutes Of Sibling Heaven

Boring. The highway is just so mind-blowingly boring. The miles stretch endlessly on my trip to Florida. Boring. It´s still early in the morning and I´m already bored to death. The day doesn´t look promising at all. I could entertain myself by annoying one of my friends with a long phone call. But as I rarely drive long distances and the X5 is quite new, I haven´t yet bothered to purchase a snap-in charger for my phone. And I´ve forgotten to bring the USB charging cable. So I have no way to recharge my phone´s dead battery. Without my phone I can´t even access my music collection. Which makes everything even more boring. To the right I see a boring small Louisiana town. On my left side, a boring dark sedan is overtaking me. My boring tank is still half full. No reason to stop and interrupt my misery of total boredom. Why in god´s name haven´t I taken the plane? In hindsight, this idea to finally run in the new car was ridiculous.
On my right I admire a small group of cows. One is brown, all the others are black. Truly amazing. At least amazing enough to make them the main visual attraction around here. In my mind´s eye I see locals gathering around this spectacle every day, watching the cows in awe. On my left I see ... the nozzle of a gun pointed at my head. Instinctively I immediately fully slam the brakes. I barely realize that my side window shatters. I look to my right and see a highway exit through the other shattered side window.
Still fully on the brakes, I yank the car into the exit. I barely miss it. The pedal is on the metal again even while I´m still plowing through a stretch of grass before reaching tarmac again. I look into my rear mirror quickly. Nobody to be seen, just an empty and innocent looking highway exit. I realize that I´m surprisingly calm. Shouldn´t I be more upset? Would shaking like a leaf be more appropriate? At least a tinge of panic maybe? Hell, I´ve never been in this situation and I just don´t know how I´m expected to react. Surviving is quite high on my list though, that much is clear.
Who might want to kill me? I think I´m the classical nice guy. I´ve never fucked someone else´s wife - at least not as far as I know. My criminal career is limited to a stolen apple at the age of eight. And I somehow doubt that Mr. Thompson - the fruit dealer - has finally found out and is upset enough for such drastic measures. Is this maybe just a coincidence and no one will follow me? Some kind of spontaneous Louisiana greeting ritual? Oh, shit, no such luck, I see a dark sedan speeding down the exit behind me.
Of course, I press everything out of my car that it´s got. Which is a lot, as I had impulsively opted for the bigger kind of engine-thing. I have no idea about such stuff and hadn´t really understood the difference at the time. Eight cylinders somehow sounded better than six, so that´s what I had bought. All I know is that my car feels seriously fast right now. But surprisingly, my pursuers manage to keep up. Suddenly a shot smashes the front window. Shit. Of course, I duck my head, hating me while I do it. Because it´s silly, it´s too late anyway.
My still quite un-shot right rear view mirror tells me two things, both of which add to an already shitty day. First, there is a large lump of bird-shit on the mirror frame. Damn, this car is almost brand new. But I at least thank the obviously quite big bird for omitting to target my now non-existent windshield. Second - there´s a guy leaning out of the side window of that damn sedan, pointing a gun in my general direction. I´m not sure if he´s aware that he looks absolutely ridiculous, like in a cheap 60s gangster movie. I´m a little disappointed that he´s left out some kind of Humphrey Bogart hat. If I´m about to be shot, it should happen with style.
I see a small humpy country lane to the right and decide to use every advantage I might have against them. I have an SUV and they don´t. So I turn onto it, braking late and hard. And I immediately accelerate down this small track, almost pushing the pedal through the floor. I don´t even know where exactly I am. Probably somewhere in Louisiana still.
Driving at more than 100 mph down a small, holey track is a challenge and I have my hands full with keeping the car on it. I hope that the massive dust plume I´m producing might help me. My location is painfully obvious this way, but I don´t envy them for racing down this stretch of dirt at this speed in a dust plume. It´s difficult enough without it.
Suddenly the steering jerks and the tire pressure warning goes off. Shit, they´ve probably hit a tire with a round. The car remains surprisingly stable but I decide I have to leave it nonetheless. I haven´t managed to shake them with four good tires, so I certainly won´t manage to do it with three. I slam the brakes, get out of the car and run. I just run. There are some trees around me, but not enough to really hide me. I don´t look back. I barely look where I´m running. I just run like hell.
The bark of a tree on me right explodes into a cloud of splinters but I don´t care in the least. I run for my very life. I don´t even know how many of them are chasing me. One or two, maybe? Two, probably. That´s what they always show in the movies. No, the cops come in twos. The killers are always alone. Does it matter? No. But a surprisingly lot of stuff goes through my mind during these supposedly last seconds of a life I´ve thoroughly enjoyed so far. Well, it´s been good. That´s the phrase that probably describes everything best. Always stick to the classics if in doubt. And it´s sad that this good life has to come to such a sudden end at the ripe age of 29.
The thing is - oops, I have to watch this root - I´ve kind of won the big lottery of life. Although it might not look like that today. Caution, mud puddle, jump over it. I´m quite good looking. I personally don´t think so as I generally don´t appreciate the looks of men, including myself. But the part of the female population that fancies me has assured me so. And I don´t care much about the opinion of the other part.
A fork in the path. Okay, the left one. Why not? I don´t know where I am anyway. It´s not important where I run to. It´s important to keep doing it. And I do this whole running thing more out of habit to prolong my life as much as possible than out of hope that it might save me somehow. The battery of my mobile phone is dead. The number of cops in sight is - wait, I have to count - zero. Which, by coincidence, matches the total number of people in sight. I´m unarmed, not trained in any kind of martial arts, I´ve never been near a marine, a green beret, a navy SEAL or anything like it. I´m more some kind of peaceful, non-confrontational guy. Oops, I better run on that grass, the path seems dangerously muddy and slippery. So, I´m toast. I´m chased by a professional killer. And I´m just an unarmed, unskilled guy spoiled by a sheltered life. My only fight was with Timmy Burns at the age of eleven. And I´ve lost it. So they would probably kill me even if they went out of ammunition.
Spoiled? Definitely. Rich from the moment I had joined humanity. Heir of old money. Intelligent enough to finish an ivy league college without ever having the intention to actually work as a lawyer. Living a life of luxury, busy with meaningless stuff, never contributing anything to humankind. Apart from just being there. Blocking resources that would have better been invested in more ambitioned people. That´s what it boils down to, old guy. You´re just superfluous. No kids, no responsibility for anything. You´re a money-losing business for humanity. I´ve never seen this, somehow. I was just too busy being me. Driving around in fancy cars, chasing pretty women, living in nice houses, traveling. But now, running down a muddy path somewhere in the South, it seems quite obvious. It strongly looks like mankind will manage to survive without my presence. No one will give a shit, to be more precise. The insight is quite disillusioning. And it seems a little late to change my life now.
But one thing might be to my advantage. I´ve always been good at sports and I´ve been running a lot. I think I´ve maintained a good pace so far. I can´t hear anybody behind me any more and even the shots have stopped. Okay, I´ll take the left path again. So I might have been able to put a little distance between me and the killer. Or the group of killers. As far as I know, there might be as many as twenty guys chasing me. I have to chuckle as I envision a group of black-clad guys with sunglasses stumbling down this damn path. But seriously, not more than five self-respecting killers would have entered that shitty sedan.
It is at least consoling that I won´t die as clueless as I have lived. By now I have a strong idea who might want to see me dead and why. Being in this somewhat inconvenient situation is partly my own fault.
The path leads me around a bend and suddenly I´m in some kind of clearing. It looks like a trailer park. About fifteen trailers seem to be scattered across the clearing in what looks like a totally random pattern. Not two of them seem to be aligned parallel to each other. The positions are equally haphazard. They look like some toys, dropped here by an enormous child. Everything seems to be silent, not a single human being is in sight. Most of the trailers sport some weird decoration. Chains of lights, colored lamps, everything that might give the place a gaudy and cheap look is present. In it´s own tastelessness, the place is very consistent.
Well, I can´t be picky, can I? I rush to the nearest one of the luxurious residences, omitting the one with the “Jesus loves you” sticker, which seems somehow inappropriate, given the circumstances. I frantically pound on the door of my chosen potential refuge.
“I´m off service. You see, my light is off,” I am informed by a bored female voice from inside. My God, what is this, some kind of forest brothel? I´m running for my dear life here. But I´m glad that someone is home and is willing to at least talk to me. Even if it is through a closed door.
“Please open up! It´s important. It´s a matter of life or death. You have to help me!”
The door is opened surprisingly quickly and I´m being pulled inside. It´s quite dark in here and as soon as my eyes have gotten accustomed to the surroundings, I perceive a blond women in front of me. Her face is not pretty. It´s spectacularly beautiful. She has the sharply chiseled features of a classical beauty. What is she doing here? This seems wrong. I have no idea why, but somehow I feel that someone as beautiful as her should not live in an old trailer in a remote wood in the South, working as a prostitute. This is not how things should be, according to Josh´s rules of life.
She´s about a head smaller than me and looks at me expectantly with her fists in her waist. Her make-up is exaggerated and tasteless, but maybe this is what´s in demand around here. Given some attention to her styling and clothes, she would be a raving beauty. I hardly notice that the trailer seems to be packed with books, which surprises my a little.
“So?”
“Sorry to disturb you, mam. But someone is following me and to be brutally honest, is trying to kill me. I´m Josh, by the way.” I extend my hand in the hope of breaking some ice here. I hope she will take it. I desperately need her as my ally.
She carefully studies my hand before slowly reaching out and taking it. “Hi Josh. I´m Mia.” She takes my hand, which I take as a good sign. “The thing is, life around here might not be ideal. But I kind of have gotten used to living. And I plan to do it for a while. I´m 26 and I think that might be a little early for my big departure. So as much as I´d like to help you, I can´t see why I should endanger my life for a stranger. You see, for all that I know, you might as well be the villain in this story.”
Wow, she might be a prostitute working in a rotten trailer in the middle of nowhere. But she surely isn´t dumb or uneducated. Quite eloquent, actually. I like her sense of humor, even in these stressed circumstances.
“I´m not. I swear.” Well, given the current situation, a little more volubility than this would be appreciated. My life might depend on it. This might be the first and only situation where my abilities as a womanizer would significantly improve something of relevance. And it seems that it´s the first time that I completely fail since Peggy Andrews´ bitch-slap in tenth grade.
“So give me one reason to help you.”
“Imagine the alternative. You send me out there again. I will be killed for certain. And you would have to live with it.” Uh, risky. I´m playing the guilt card. I don´t like me for it, but I´m desperate.
“So you´re betting your life on me being a woman of morals? You´re talking to a whore.”
I was still holding her hand, squeezing it. “Why should a whore have lower morals than anyone else? You see, I don´t like to play with guilt. This is not your problem and I hate to burden you. But I´ve also come to like being alive. And I´m just desperate. Being killed would really put a damper on my day.”
Her impressions softens and I hope that I´ve convinced her. Which would be a small miracle, keeping in mind how I look like. Dirty, sweaty, in torn clothes.
She heaved a long sigh. “Okay, what do you want?”
“Could you please call the police? My mobile´s battery is dead.”
“Sorry, we have no net here. No phones at all. This little paradise is as illegal as it can be.”
“Shit. I need to survive for - let´s see” I check my watch “15 hours. Until midnight. Then I´m safe.”
She looks at me pensively. Then she obviously comes to a conclusion. I just hope it´s the right one. The one to keep me alive. My life is in her hands.
“Follow me.” She leads me to a wardrobe.
“Mia, these are really bad guys. They are sure to look in here. Please, we need to find a better hiding place.”
“Trust me. We know about such stuff. We have some illegal immigrants among us.” Now she opens a kind of hidden door inside the wardrobe. A small hiding place appears.
“Gosh, you´re right,” I say. “This might actually work.”
“Get in. They are already looking for you. Two guys.”
“Thanks.”
“Thank me later. If I´m still alive then.”
I just look at her with what I hope is a sincere and thankful expression and stow myself into the small space.
She closes the door and I´m engulfed in total darkness. My only sensations are the slightly stale scent in here, the sound of her feet shuffling around and some birds singing in the trees. And now I hear a loud banging on her door.
“Open the damn door, you fucking whore.” The rhyme gives his demand some lyrical quality but the content is surprisingly rude. This is a guy that will clearly make no new friends around here. But his gun probably makes it unnecessary to be tactful anyway.
“I´m off service. Go to one of the others. It´s early in the morning, I´m tired.”
“I don´t give a shit. I´m not here to fuck a dirty piece of shit. Open the door or I´ll knock it down.” I guess that the whole trailer park will be aware of what´s happening by now. And this is probably not the first door they knock on. Someone here will be armed to protect the girls. But whoever it is, he or she doesn´t seem to be intent to do something about it.
But these are prostitutes and the guys pursuing me are professional killers. So yes, it´s probably a lot healthier not to mess with these guys. My lovely ex Sally seems to have spared no expense and has hired competent specialists.
I hear the front door being opened.
“So what do you want?”
“Looking for someone. Won´t take long. Just don´t get in my way.”
I hear him walking around, opening and checking everything quickly. Finally he opens the wardrobe. My life as well as Mia´s depends on this moment. Come to think about it, they will probably kill all inhabitants of this lovely theme park just to eliminate possible witnesses. This is sick. All these people would have to die for Sally´s greed. And for my mistakes.
“Okay. If you see a man in dirty and torn clothes, let us know. We´ll be around for a while.”
Mia doesn´t bother to respond and someone closes the front door.
“Stay in there for a while. We need to be sure,” I hear her whispering. Smart girl. Beautiful, smart, witty and willing to endanger herself to help me. What exactly is she doing in this dump?
I try to remain calm and patient for a while and not to succumb to claustrophobia. I´m not tending towards it, but I have to try not to acquire it now. The place would be ideal for the task. After an eternity, light floods my small hideaway. I unfold my aching body into the real world.
“Thank you.”
“It´s not over yet. They´re still around.”
“I know.” Our whole conversation is an exchange of whispers. We´re both aware that they will probably be busy right now with pressing some ears to some aluminum panels.
“You owe me.”
“Yes. What do you want?”
“Your story.” She smiles. How can she smile in such a situation? And boy, does she have a nice smile.
“Really? That´s all?”
“I haven´t said that that´s all. But it seems to be a proper down-payment.”
“Okay.” I realize that my voice is croaking a little.
“You´ve had a rough time, right? You stay here in the bedroom. No one can peek in here. I´ll get you something to eat and drink.”
I look at her incredulously. She´s right. I´m desperately hungry and thirsty.
I realize that something has gone completely wrong. I´ve married some kind of monster while a beautiful and caring woman like Mia had to work on her back to survive. At least I suppose that she has to do this out of desperation. No other reason is thinkable for such an angel.
She returns with some cookies and a glass of water. All of it is history within seconds and Mia smiles at me benevolently.
“Okay, go ahead,” she whispers.
“Well, I´ve led a rather easy and carefree life until today. Never been in trouble, no enemies, my life was just one pleasant journey. My problem began in college, although I didn´t know at the time. I met a girl named Sally. She´s very intelligent, can be very nice and funny and is rather pretty. Not as beautiful as you, but pretty enough.” She smiles briefly, but tries to hide it. “I have inherited a little money from my grandpa, which enabled me to go through college without too many worries.” I omit to mention that I´ve inherited a three-digit million sum. No need to tell her that. It had brought me enough misery with Sally. “Sally on the other hand had a scholarship because she is really bright and a very hard worker. She is driven by ambition and definitely doesn´t want to live like her parents did. But despite her scholarship she had always trouble to make ends meet. So I think I was the perfect match for her. I wasn´t too keen on a steady relationship but she was relentless and charmed me into it. After we had our degrees, she decided that we should marry. I had my doubts, but I was too passive and too lazy to really disagree. It would have caused to much trouble and too many arguments. So it was easier to just relent. But being a lawyer, I at least insisted on a prenup. If we broke up for whatever reason, she would get a relatively small lump sum.” 100.000, to be more specific. “But she is also a lawyer and she insisted to have a clause that in case of my death during our marriage, she would inherit everything. I saw no problem in it and understood her need for some safety. My fault. Because this clause is valid regardless of the cause of my death. And it is valid up to the day the marriage is finally dissolved.”
“Oh, I see where this is heading.”
“Exactly. To cut a long story short, our marriage went downhill fast. Maybe she had no intention to keep it alive and I sometimes suspect she even actively wanted to end it. To be honest, I don´t have a clue what she´s thinking, never really had. Anyway, I caught her with another man. Maybe she wanted me to catch her, I have no idea. Of course, I immediately filed for divorce. I believe that she had to accept the prenup against her will and relented only because of the death clause. Maybe this was the way she intended to get my money from the beginning. Well, after I´ve filed for divorce I´m sure she was tight on money. The divorce was granted six months ago. And three days ago my lawyer advised me to pay her the small amount she was entitled to. That was probably a big mistake. Because she obviously used it to hire these gentlemen to end my life. They need to kill me within - let´s see - 14 hours. If they do, my money will be hers. If they don´t she will have almost nothing. Maybe she needed the divorce because during our marriage she never had the lump sum to hire such guys. Only the one-time payment at the end enabled her to do that.”
“Wow, quite a story.”
“Yes, and I hope it won´t turn out to be a short story.”
“So do I. Because the end of yours would be also the end of mine.”
Uh, this is going into the wrong direction.
“So what´s your story?”
“Oh, that´s a sad one. You really want to hear it?”
“Well, it can´t be worse than mine.”
“Oh, it can. The short version - my father died when I was fourteen, my stepfather was an alcoholic that beat me and raped me as soon as I turned sixteen. Shortly afterwards he sold me to this slaver ring and I ended up here, unable to escape. Waiting for my savior.” She looks very sad.
I´m stunned. “Really? That sort of stuff happens? That´s terrible, Mia.”
“Josh, you´re a nice guy. But you´re totally gullible. I really don´t know if I can let you go out there without guidance again. You won´t stand a chance against the next evil bitch. You´re just too nice. And what´s the sense in saving you today if you´re too naive to survive on your own afterwards.”
“What?” I don´t understand a thing.
“Josh, you believed that crap?” She actually starts to laugh, but tries to do it silently. “I was brought up quite sheltered and had very good grades at school. But after high school I was just too lazy for a real 8 to 5 job. The thought depressed me. So due to default of a wealthy knight in shining armor I decided to pursue the reputable profession of prostitution. It seemed to be the easiest way.”
“Oh.” I have to grin now. “You wicked bitch.” She punches me lightly in the arm in retaliation and we both have problems to keep our laughter silent.
She obviously has the same dry humor and laconic way that has earned me the “cold fish” label from my ex. But the way Sally meant this was far from the truth. I´m actually a quite emotional guy. I just don´t want to run around with my hands holding my head, screaming. If I´m in trouble, I get calm and rational. And I try to see every situation in a humorous way. Mia seems to be the same, which probably is the reason we get along that well.
“But why are you doing it here?”
“I quickly learned that I don´t like pimps. They don´t provide much protection, they just provide trouble, violence, dumbness and disappearing money. Here we girls can work without that burden.”
“I see. But what about intimacy and love? And you still interested in such stuff?”
“Oh yes. I´m quite a book-worm and I read a lot of romance novels. I still dream of this stuff. What I do here is completely separated from this. Believe it or not, I have never made love to a man in my whole life. I´m still some kind of virgin.”
“You´re kidding me again?”
“No. Seriously. I´ve had vaginal penetration thousands of times. And I´ve sucked dicks equally often. But I think I never really had sex. Much less made love. I just provide two openings for rubber-clad cocks. I´ve never had an orgasm in my whole life. I´ve never had any kind of pleasant emotion while I did my job. I´ve never touched a dick without a condom. So yes, making love and loving someone is still quite high on my agenda. The problem is that I just don´t meet any nice men. The guys coming here are mostly the ones that don´t get any good pussy any other way. They are the sediment of the male population. Halfway attractive or nice men don´t come here, they don´t have to pay for such a half-hearted service. We are not really in the luxury segment of our business, you know? The problem is just to remind myself that there have to be decent men out there. And that I just don´t get to see them here.”
“Never?” I smile and wink.
“Well, rarely.” She also smiles.
“So you´re unhappy with your current situation?”
“Yes. But not desperately so. But I surely need to change something soon. But as easy as it is to get into this, as hard it is to get out. I hardly have any qualification for a normal job, have I?”
I just nod and decide that this gets quite serious and I do what I always do in such situations - I change the subject. “So do you think we can hide here for 14 hours?”
“We might if sheriff Clarkson and his deputy will come to see Clara and Becky. If we´re lucky, they will arrive shortly. The girls will probably tell them something is wrong. But I have no idea what they will do about it.”
“Okay, let´s wait and see.”
“Josh, I will have to switch on my light soon. If one of the girls doesn´t accept customers for a long time, the men hunting you will be wary.”
“You´re right. Is that a problem for you?”
“Not at all. It´s just my job. But maybe it is for you?”
Well, it might be, come to think about it. I like her. A lot, actually. But I surely won´t admit that now. Mia is already in more than enough trouble because of me, no need to complicate her life further.
“I think it´s necessary, ain´t it?”
“You won´t like it, right? And not only because you will have to wait in the wardrobe for the duration?”
“Yes, I think that won´t be the main problem. I like you. And I won´t like to hear you doing your job.” Okay, time for a little honesty.
“It will be hard for me too. I also like you and I´m afraid that I will be ashamed for the first time for my job. And I´m afraid that you will like me a lot less afterwards.”
“I don´t think so.” Although I´m not too sure about it. I honestly don´t know how I´m going to react. I´ve never been in such a situation. I doubt that many men have been. “And we don´t have much choice anyway, have we?”
“Yes, sadly.”
“Let´s get over with it.”
“Okay. You don´t have to go into the hideout. You can as well stay in the wardrobe. If you prefer to sit in between my clothes.”
“That doesn´t sound too bad.”
And during the next few hours I learn a lot. First, I´m indeed getting jealous upon hearing some guys fucking Mia. Why am I reacting that way? I have plenty of time to think about it. Because I like her as a friend and I can´t stand to listen to her abuse? No, she isn´t abused in any way, she´s very relaxed and friendly with her customers. No emotions, but a sovereign way to handle the situation. The reason is that I like her, but not only as a friend. I´m just plain jealous.
Second, booking a girl like Mia is surprisingly mundane. The talk sounds like everyday talk. Yeah, it´s too hot for this time of the year. Have you seen the fuel price? John and Marsha are finally going to marry. Peggy is pregnant again. No sexy talk at all. Even when I jerk off, I´m usually in a more romantic mood.
Third, I really enjoy sitting in between her clothes and smelling her fragrance. I like smelling her. And I think that is telling me a lot about my feelings for her.
I between her customers I can leave the wardrobe. But I don´t want to be tactless by using the situation to see her in her non-existent “work-clothes”. That would be tactless. Well, I´d sure like to full inspect her nude body. But somehow it doesn´t seem right, so I keep my eyes on her face or somewhere else. She notices my problems, smiles a little and puts on a robe.
After three hours and just as many johns, the situation changes.
“Oh, oh. The sheriff and two of his colleagues have arrived.” Mia peeks out of the window while I have to stay hidden. “They go towards Clara´s, Becky´s and Andrea´s trailers. Now things will get interesting.”
She continues to watch the scene unfolding.
“They come out again. All three. All of them have their guns out. They are talking. Deputy Andrews goes to the squad car. Now the shit´s going to hit the fan. If the killers decide to shoot them, they will have to kill us all. But that´s risky. You don´t just kill three cops. Even as a hard-boiled pro. Especially as a hard-boiled pro. Too much risk for one job.”
“You know what you´re talking about?”
“I´ve seen a lot of shit. But not as closely as today, luckily. Boy, you owe me big time if we get out of here alive.”
“I do, doubtless.”
“I´m going to hold you to that, rest assured. Now go into the wardrobe. No, better into the hideout. We won´t know what´s going to happen.”
“Okay. 10 more hours. Shit.”
“We need to get through this.” She looks me directly into the eyes while saying this. I feel a tingling sensation in my tummy.
“Yes. We do. Thank you.”
“Thank me later. Now go. We have to hide you.”
“Do you think I should just run towards the cops?”
“No, I think they might just shoot you from a distance. They probably have rifles. Too risky.”
Fifteen minutes late, April thought. Great. Fifteen more and she’d be free to go.A friendly waiter approached. “Are you ready to order, ma’am?”She stirred her water glass. “Maybe just the drinks menu?”He nodded, “Right away, ma’am.” And briskly walked away.Wow, she thought. So we’re really in the “ma’am” days now, huh? At thirty-nine years old, she’d hoped she had a few months left in her before people would catch a whiff of her rotting eggs.It was infuriating. No one, not one person had called...
Love StoriesFifteen Minutes Ends a Marriage. I am sitting on the side of my bed crying. Reflecting on what fifteen minutes of stupidity cost me. My story. My name is Harriet. I worked as an analyst for a big marketing firm in town at the time. I was married to a general contractor named Jim, we had no children. A new department head was transferred from another branch of the firm. His name was Marty. He was also married, with two young sons. He was cute, funny, social and he liked to flirt. I did...
There was no hint at the start of Abbey’s evening that before her shift had ended she’d experience the fuck of her young life. Dennehy’s bar was its usual dingy self. Clientele the same rowdy bunch of jocks. Atmosphere noisy and on course for drunken mayhem by closing time. The music, however, was a cut above normal. “Who are these guys?” she asked Angelo, that evening’s head-barman. “The Devil’s Rejects,” he called above the din. “Pretty hot!” She poured frothing glasses of beer. “What,...
Santa's hand slipped up the inside of my thigh. He had taken off his wooly mittens so he could caress the skin; my pussy pulsed into a low throb. But, just before he reached the apex--and with an enormous effort on my part--I moved a step away. I pretended to straighten an ornament on the fake Christmas tree. "Knock it off, Saint Nick," I said in a low, indulgent tone. "We still have four more hours on our shift." Mall Santa and elf. He groaned, the sexy bastard. Well-built, athletic, and...
Quickie SexI'm Teddy Nelsen, currently 29 years old, about 20% legally disabled, married, but not for much longer, and unemployed. Before all this happened, I was a policeman in Harlan, a middle-sized West Virginia town. I was also in the Army Reserves as a Tank Gunner. Like most people during 2002 I read the papers and watched the news at night, so it was no big surprise when my unit got activated during the run-up to the second Gulf war. The orders came down and we were scheduled to leave for a...
Mo spent the bus ride to school trying to work out what was going wrong. There were hardly any Muslims in Luxembourg, for one thing, and most of them weren’t from Pakistan either. The place was FULL of racist unbelievers! Why had his father brought them here? His mother hardly had anyone to talk to either, even after his father had given her permission to go out whenever she liked. It was a bit weird going into school on a Saturday, too, just to meet a pair of white girls and a white guy,...
“Hi,” Mohammad greeted Paul as he arrived in the car park, at just before four o’clock the next day - Tuesday. Mia had texted the plan, after Grace had finally replied “OK” to his fifth apology late last night. The gang would ride out to the junction, then Grace and Paul would go left while Mo and Mia went right, and wait at the first and third junctions each way. Mo knew Mia was keeping him away from Grace. Grace was just bound to have told Mother Hen all about it! Anyway he’d got his new...
Paul had been half afraid of something like this: Mia was flirting with them. Them, plural. Mo and him. “They’re with me,” Mia was even seeing off a girl who’d been dancing a bit close. “See?” she grinned at him and Mo, as the girl moved away to safer territory, “you’re the hottest guys around.” She’d had a few drinks and was looking a bit wild. That would also be why she was calling him hot, he could only guess. She’d got them into a licensed restaurant and now into this club, and was...
Strawberry pancakes and maple syrup! What a thing to have for breakfast! Epic. It was incredibly serious why they were here, but Grace couldn’t help being excited. San Francisco. America. This huge hotel with all glass and so much space, including a huge swimming pool that she’d had a swim in already with Mia. It was true: everything WAS bigger over here. She was looking forward to driving down to Mountain View in their dark red ‘rental’. She played with pronouncing it ‘rennle’ in her head....
There was one big problem of course. “Can you drive?” Mia asked Paul. “Not really,” he gave a little grimace. “But you know about lanes and signs and lights and everything like that? Where we’re supposed to go?” “Yeah I guess so.” “Okay,” Mia was more decisive than ever as the tension rose. “We’ll do it between us. Grace you’re driving, as long as the seat goes forward enough for you. You just work out the controls. It’s an automatic at least. Paul you go in the passenger seat telling...
Grace could only shake her head mutely. How was she supposed to know where she was? Somewhere in Cuba, for some reason. “You’re in Penny Lane,” sneered Boris. He didn’t seem to mind losing his sleep. Grace stared at the box. She had no idea where Penny Lane was, though obviously this wasn’t a lane. “First of all there was Strawberry Fields,” he smirked, “because it was Forever. Forever as in: you never leave. Now there’s Penny Lane, which is kinda down a lane, and luxury believe me, by...
As the door locked behind her Grace turned on the light and burst into tears. Those people! They just had no feelings at all. She could cry, that was okay. Anyone would, after that. In fact it was weird how she hadn’t felt like crying while it was going on ... well Xenia wouldn’t have cared and Boris would’ve got off on it. But she had to not be a victim. Well, she could be a victim, as long as she worked at stopping being a victim. And she wasn’t here as a victim anyway: she was here as a...
Grace turned off the Trackimo, after another five-minute burst, that Mia would see. She’d be in Florida perhaps, looking for a boat. Time to make breakfast. While she ate she went back to watching the TV, with its nice people out there in the ordinary world, who didn’t know what was happening in this secret world, that might change everybody’s lives forever. What could she do? What should she be focusing on? There wasn’t any point focusing on Xenia and Boris, just because they were...
This is a true ‘how-not-to’ story and it is not erotic at all. Read at your own warning. I never had trouble with drugs or booze or any of the evils that most consider the road to ruin. I had a rough divorce where I work too hard to please my X and make the divorce pleasant. That failed. I had found a job I liked (my own business) and she wanted more income and a man with a larger check and faster car. I thought the split was to be for each of us to grow. She decided to be hateful and...
David had been running all his life, about two centuries and a half. He was one of the few immortals who walked the earth. At least he was the only one he knew of, but he had heard stories of others. David had stop aging at the age of 15, his arms and legs had stopped sprouting, and his facial hairs never grew into his baby face. The men chasing him through the alley were government agents. David knew if they captured him he’d awake on a gurney in a secret location where the government would...
I lay next to my wife of 15 years, and admire her beauty as she rests peacefully next to me. I caress her silky smooth hair, and breathe in her intoxicating aroma. I love her deeply, and I thank God for the day I met her. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a lazy Saturday afternoon, and I was sitting on a field right in my old stomping grounds of College. The sun was out, but it was cloudy enough so that it wasn’t too hot. I was reading a book and halfway through the...
I was driving cross country and had pulled off Interstate-80 in search of something more satisfying than a chain-restaurant meal. I really can’t recall much about Rick’s Café in New Paris, Indiana. But I will never forget the woman I met there. ‘I hate eating alone,’ she said. ‘Don’t you?’ ‘Why not join me?’ I asked, gesturing to the empty chair. Rachel was in her mid-20s. She had pale green eyes, an unruly mane of auburn hair, and a lithe, dancer’s body that turned half the heads in the room...
It has been 15 years since Laura and I married. In that time we have changed careers a number of times but have been consistently lucky in that we never have really wanted for anything. We have also been blessed with both a handsome son and a beautiful daughter. In this time Laura and I have had our ups and downs but we have remained faithful to each other and have somehow remained rather happy in our lives together. Our sex life has remained truly amazing considering the fact that we have...

Group SexThe wine was delicious. We headed upstairs so your wife could finish giving me the tour, leaving you with the dishes. We catch each other’s eyes as I follow behind her. Oh, yes, her cute little ass sways seductively just out of reach, taunting me.We bump into each other, giggling and smiling. I stroke her arm as she proudly shows off your family photos – she’s positively glowing now. Our glances catch one another, there’s a sparkle in her gentle eyes.

SeductionGrace couldn’t stop thinking about her mum’s terrible fake laugh. She and her mum had been really close since her mum had kicked her dad out. Now it was the two of them, together in the world. Grace’s one remaining parent was her only rock amidst the shifting sands of different countries and homes and schools: her mum’s job was so specialised they just had to go where it took them. Now there was this secret coming between them, and Grace didn’t like it. It was making her feel lonely and...
Mo watched Grace approach, looking excited. ‘Cute’ would be a massive understatement. “What is it?” the little beauty gasped breathlessly, “what have you found out?” “I had to do a bit of burglary,” a touch of exaggeration wouldn’t hurt, to keep that rapt expression fixed on him, “then I used Call History, and the time I overheard him, to track it down. And the guy was in his Contacts so I’ve got his name and even his email. No address though, it wasn’t there.” “So who is he? Where does he...
Mo rode in a fury through the car park after Grace. It was just typical of that brazen Italian bitch hoe that she’d tricked him into saying he already had a bike, so that he’d be the only one on a mountain bike, with its huge, slow knobbly tyres, while everyone else had a road-racing bike. He didn’t even have cleats on his shoes, so he could only push the pedals on the downstroke while the girls could power the upstroke too. They’d pulled that trick on Paul as well, he could see. Well ......
The four members of the gang each rode into school the next morning with different things on their minds. Mo nearly didn’t go into school at all. In fact he nearly didn’t even get out of bed, he felt so bad. But he had to get up or his mother would tell everybody and that would make everything even worse. He kept replaying his imam’s words in his head: ‘Learn from being used’; ‘Why did she do it’? Being used was certainly the worst feeling ever. It made him feel like ... worthless. But what...
“Hello,” the alien replied! It wasn’t a helmet: she had bright pink hair, or red almost, that glittered metallically. It was woven into six tendril-like plaits, shoulder length, three each side. “You speak English!” Grace was shocked. The alien thought a moment before replying slowly: “We learn,” she said, “come in.” She stood back and waved Grace into the little grey house. “Hello,” smiled Grace to the two other aliens - the front door had opened straight into the living room. These...
“Wow you have a big room,” Mo looked round. All kinds of girlie scents flooded his senses, presumably emanating from that big dresser with tiny bottles and makeup things all over it. It was all luxurious. “Well mum and dad both work, you know, and they’re both quite senior I think, so...” “Your mom and dad seemed pretty cool about you having guys in here,” Paul was looking at the bed. Maybe it was left over from previous owners or something? Otherwise what kind of parents would get their...
The next afternoon, Thursday, they were all back in the gloomy, secret little stone house with the aliens, and this time Grace’s mum was there too along with their erstwhile quarry Claude Simon. Grace knew the story, the basics anyway, and was waiting to see what Mia made of it and to hear it from the aliens themselves. Dr Simon had smiled at them, with his longish hair and little beard, and told them to call him ‘Claude’. He was obviously a kind person. He’d said it was rather clever how...
After dinner they were all tired again, and only Claude was allowed in the bar, so they were all retiring to their rooms. Grace had wondered about inviting the others to watch TV in their room, but Mia wasn’t showing any sign of doing that, so she didn’t. She suspected Mia would be wanting her to try on her new pyjamas, since she’d actually said how she was looking forward to it! They were shorts and a short-sleeved jacket; plain sky blue, but in a faux silk that was very thin and soft. On a...
By dinner time Claude had sent Cyan the login, and it was mission accomplished: Cyan would be installing her space-age virus and stopping the transmission that might have been guiding the bad guys to Earth. The meal was a celebration. Later on though, lying cuddling on the bed with Mia, Grace found herself replaying the meal, and wondering if Claude had been quite as joyful as the rest of them. “Do you think it’s really the end?” she asked. “I don’t know. Probably, why not?” Mia was...
In the morning Grace came down for breakfast, with Mia, having talked it over and cooled down a bit. Her mum shouldn’t have to have her permission to start dating again, should she? It was understandable she was nervous about telling her and had put it off. And she herself liked Claude too, so it was quite natural from that point of view and it wasn’t for her to be jealous and spoil it. She’d ask her mum about it and her mum would explain and it would all be okay. And having a dad again could...
“Okay,” Mia indicated the agents. “Let’s get their guns and wallets and radios, and dump them at the top.” “They might die,” Grace objected, as she struggled into her robe. She was afraid one of them was dead already, at least. She was trying not to think about it. Mia was hunting through the pockets of the one who’d shot Mo. She pulled out something from his ear. “Okay we’ll use one of their radios to tell them. They must know it’s gone wrong already.” They took the lift to the top,...
“Why do you want a tracker?” asked Mia. “We can’t find my mum by looking, can we?” “But we can’t plant a tracker on the agents,” Paul pointed out, “they’d notice even if we could get close enough somehow.” “I don’t like the look of that,” Mia was looking at a big off-roader that had come up on their left side. Grace made herself not look. “What is it?” “Big SUV,” said Paul, “Ford Explorer. Gray. Two guys in it, same type as in the lift - big, open shirts, and looking a bit serious....
They were parked outside Radio Shack in Vacaville, with three freshly purchased Trackimos, all on charge in the nice modern rental’s USB ports. Mia was searching for a ‘clinic’... “Okay, this looks perfect: ‘Vacaville Urgent Care. Special pricing for cash-paying customers. New patients can register quickly and conveniently.’ We have to ring, but then we can go straight there.” Half an hour later Grace had a new backpack with some essentials in. Her gun was in the backpack, with one tracker,...
“How are you feeling?” Grace asked Mo, over their second coffee. It was the third time she’d asked. “Okay thanks,” Mo smiled. “Thanks to you.” “I didn’t do anything.” “I know what you did.” “I helped get you shot, and now I’m helping you get captured. Are you sure you won’t go back and be with the others?” “I’m not going to leave you on your own.” “Okay. Thanks.” Grace smiled into his eyes and gave his hand a squeeze. “Perhaps we should go out and walk a bit? They might not want to come...
After a few minutes the joggling ride became rougher and the jeep slowed down. In another three or four minutes it stopped, started again, and stopped. The driver switched off the engine and it went quiet. Lights came on outside. Boris got out, opened the back door, grabbed Grace and hauled her out by her elbow, so roughly that she’d have fallen except that he held her up. For a couple of seconds she dangled completely off the ground, at an angle, while Boris showed off his strength and...
The next day Grace woke to the sound of boots scrunching past on the path. She slipped her robe on and got to the window in time to see Cyan and Emerald being taken along past her cottage towards the interrogation building. They looked tiny and scared, next to the burly soldiers, in orange overalls that were far too big, with the sleeves and legs rolled up. She had breakfast and her shower, before settling on the bed to watch for the aliens being brought back. But when they were, at almost...
Paul turned the wheel hard towards the cigarette boat and opened the throttles, doing a U turn as though he’d forgotten something. The powerboat whipped round in a tight semicircle. He didn’t see Mia being thrown off the left side of the cockpit surround behind him, where she’d been sitting. Claude was next to him, and didn’t see either. Mia crashed into the water upside down. It took her a few seconds to get upright, and by that time the boat was 30 or 40 metres away with the engines...
Claude hadn’t realised it would be so violent. It had been impossible to be below or even think straight, while they’d been crashing up and down at eighty miles an hour into the swell and wind, with the engines bellowing. And for ten hours, nearly! The kids had thought it was great of course, even with half of it being in the dark - rocketing into pitch black relying on the radar, and gambling there wouldn’t be a rogue wave. Luckily the sea had been a little calmer than forecast. The one...
Grace gave her mum a big squeeze, before freeing herself so she could focus. “Mia is coming,” she told her, “and Paul and Claude, to get us out. We need to be ready, with a plan. An escape plan. She mustn’t come and find us not ready.” “How do you know she’s coming? ... Oh! Grace! You didn’t seriously get yourself captured on purpose? And go through that...” “It was the only way. And I had three trackers, I kept one secret, so Mia won’t go to the others wherever they are, she’ll come...
Rose had understood Google Maps straight away - in fact she probably thought it was quite primitive - so luckily Grace had been able to just drive the humvee and go where Rose pointed. It could probably go literally anywhere, by the feel of it, but there were dusty tracks to follow, that were just about wide enough. So now they were at the little cove between Blind Beach and Blue Beach, where hopefully Mia and the others were going to pick them up, probably the following night. It wasn’t that...
Shit! Grace watched a yacht deciding to come and sail almost into their cove. A big catamaran with white sails. Were they allowed to? Grace had been assuming the US military would be keeping everyone away; but perhaps not, or not straight away? She’d better get dressed anyway, though her orange overalls weren’t exactly the best camouflage and they probably made her look exactly like an escaped prisoner! She stepped into her panties, left her bra to save time, slipped on her tee and struggled...
Late night, middle of nowhere on a deserted back road. Todd is late on delivery with a pizza and getting really tired. It has been storming pretty for more than an hour. After driving a little longer, he finally sees a place and sure enough it looks like it. It's a pretty big place with three stories and an electric fence surrounding everything. It's obvious as he looks around, that the owner, a woman by the name of Chrissie, is very wealthy. Todd gets out and rings the communication buzzer and...
She MalesMisfit Hours I slow to a stop to allow Rita to gain some distance. It's a pleasure just watching her walk plus I want to see her reaction to the kind of attention she draws now. She's still learning how to handle it and needs the practice. The tight pencil skirt, the tailored cotton blouse and even the 4" pumps suggest a smart business woman who's taken off her suit jacket for a nightcap. The seamed stockings, perfectly aligned with the thin heels, and the long red nails flashing...
Annie had thought about her actions for quite some time and it was with a little regret and a lot of anticipation that she took Dan up on his offer of showing her the ropes, as he put it. She knew that he didn’t actually mean ropes per se, but she hoped that he did.Annie was open to suggestions, as many suggestions as Dan could propose in the intervening seventy-two hours that she had available to her; the time between her husband going away on a business trip and coming home. He was going to...
SeductionIt was a cloudy Saturday morning when best friends and roommates James and Dwayne were chilling at their dining room table, drinking their morning coffee. "Happy birthday, my dude. Sucks that your dirty thirty is in the midst of this pandemic. Woulda been hella nice to have taken you and the friends out to celebrate." James said while sipping on his warm brew. "I did get you a gift, so I guess it's not all bad." "Bro, I told you that you didn't have to get me anything. It's...
"Harold, this is crazy! We're never going to fit all that in the car."I had to agree with Mom on this one. We were shutting down the summer cabin early, and as usual, it meant bringing home lots of gear that had migrated there during our multiple 'mini-vacations'. Unfortunately, Dad's workload had exploded with a new contract, and it was unlikely we'd get back out to the house again that summer.This season we'd accumulated more than ever. The coolers with all the game meat were the main...
Seventeen Hours By Belle Gordon "'Bye dear" I said dutifully kissing my wife on the cheek, "I should be back tomorrow evening at the latest. I'll call you if there is a problem. You know which hotel I'm staying in?" "Yes I do." "Good; sure you'll be alright?" "Yes of course I will." She said with a touch of irritation. "You know perfectly well that Sophie has a friend from college staying so I won't be alone." As I turned to go she said "Good luck with your speech,...
25 hoursPART 1Click, click, how many times have I reached this point in self bondage and desired a session that will last all night, how many times have I had an orgasm and then escaped, how many times have I broken into a hot sweat and panicked and escaped, how many times have I been to uncomfortable and bored and then escaped?.I have set the parameters of my own destiny and I alone will suffer at my own hand.

Men are so funny. All that macho and bravado and arrogance, it’s a wonder they can accomplish anything. I don’t know why they can never admit when they are wrong. If Jesse hadn’t been so intent on proving his manhood, he would have never even dared to challenge me on my knowledge of Stevie Wonder. Come on now, e’rybody with breath in their lungs should acknowledge that I am the Queen of all Stevie knowledge and I keep a running catalog in my head of albums, songs, lyrics, release dates and...
I’m hoping that writing this will help get it out of my mind. Not so much a story as a fantasy, with no real end, but I’d love to hear ideas to help continue my thoughts OK, last year I was in Lanzarote and mainly went to one bar. It wasn’t a gay bar as such but the guys I met were. The main 2 were about 50. Maybe mid 50s. Just normal guys. One quite tall and the other pretty chubby. I’m thinking the tall guy is quite well hung, but nothing too huge, and the chubby guy a bit smaller. So,...

It was a cold Saturday when we had this wonderful experience. I'd driven over to Sophia's house on my 50cc scooter (because I was a teen at the time) at 9 am. I arrived nearly frozen because of the long drive to her house but that didn't bother me a whole lot because it was worth it to see her. Despite the feeling of near frost-bite on my fingers, the warm look Sophia gives me when I see her makes me forget all my troubles and worries. In the morning, we mostly napped together in...

As I sat in my car in the dark hotel parking lot my heart raced. I thought over the online correspondence that had led me here. It started out with a personal ad. Then a few emails. Then some online chat. And now I was just moments away.The sun had set hours ago and lot was mostly dark. There were other cars in the lot but not much was happening. It was one of those cheap hotels where the doors were right on the street so you didn't have to go through the hotel to get to your room.My heart had...
Author's foreword: In every city, in every community, there are stories we've all heard. We call these stories Urban Legends.

I was 17 at the time and attending an all boys school. It was a monday morning, the beginning of another long week at school, when I drove through the gates on my bike and made my way to the parking area next to the athletics track. As I parked my bike, I realised how late I was for class so I quickly made my way around the back towards a shortcut I sometimes made use of. When I was late I would usuallt sneak through the back door of Mrs Keys' classroom, which at that time of the morning was...
