It was obvious when they entered my office that they had problems and were in trouble. It's not that I'm so sensitive and astute and aware of people's feelings, it's that people don't come to see me unless they are in trouble or have a problem.
The paint showing the name on the frosted glass of the door was somewhat faded and peeling. It read:
Matthew Steele
Investigations
Security Specialist
That's me, Matthew Steele St. Louis, Missouri investigator and security consultant. I'm what's commonly known as a private detective; I also work as a security consultant at times, better known as a bodyguard.
I'll do almost anything pertaining to investigations, from background checks, to keeping the scum of society off your back and away from your body, to following a suspected cheating spouse, to finding runaways. Doesn't matter if it's a wife, a husband, a kid or your enemy; I'll find them; for a price.
I'll do just about anything that's legal, although that can be a fuzzy line sometimes. One thing I won't do is provide muscle to physically assault someone. If you and your neighbor or business associate are at an impasse over something, I won't kick their ass for you. I'll find out things from their past, if there is anything, that you can use to control them but if it's physical payback you want, then go talk to someone else.
It was just before lunchtime and I'd been sitting back in my chair with my feet on the desk, contemplating the world situation when the man and woman came in; actually I'd almost been asleep. Taking my feet off the desk and putting them back on the floor I sat up and waited for one of them to speak.
"Mr. Steele?" The man asked. I nodded and he continued, "I'm Jason Worth, this is my wife Susan, and I need your help."
He sat down without being asked and without waiting for his wife. Jason Worth was about 55 or so. His styled thinning hair, smooth features, the spray on suntan, and his very expensive clothes should have taken years off his appearance, but didn't. He was 6 feet one, muscular build, probably from a gym, and had an air of entitlement. Worth had an attitude that only a lot of money could bring and it surrounded him like a shroud. I immediately took a dislike to him.
Susan Worth is the kind of woman that shouldn't be allowed to walk down a busy street. Her looks would cause men to walk into sign posts or wreck their cars because they'd be watching her instead of where they were going or what they were doing.
Mrs. Worth couldn't have been more than 35, if I was being cruel; about the same age as me. Tall for a woman at five feet ten, she had the type of body and face that could start wars. Hey, it happened back in Troy, it could happen now. Susan would have made Helen of Troy look like an ugly cousin.
She also had a muscular build, but she looked like she did tennis or golf or something instead of hitting the gym exclusively. Susan leaned more toward a toned voluptuous body than runway models. She had a sexy, girl next door face, sort of like Kate Hudson, long auburn hair worn loose down her back, and piercing blue eyes. If she would walk across a bar or restaurant men, and some women, would follow her with their eyes and thoughts.
I watched as she sat down and crossed her legs. Her fashionably short skirt rode up displaying a lot of long beautiful thigh. I sighed and settled back in my chair. Keep your mind on business, I told myself. Myself answered back saying are you kidding me?
Continuing the discussion with myself; the devil side of me said we would fit well together, as I'm 6 feet 3. The devil also said that my hard muscled body, weighing 200 pounds even, would feel good rubbing up against her. The last thing the devil said before I pushed him out of my mind was that my black hair and gray eyes were just the thing she needed to compliment her.
Get thee behind me Satan.
"I've checked into your background a little and I think you're just the man I need," Worth said.
I nodded sagely and thought, ah yes my background. Matthew Steele had been a rising star in the St. Louis Police's Detective Division at one time. I was sure to make Captain by the time I was 35; that was five years ago. A sad set of circumstances led to my, shall we say downfall or should we say being screwed by the system.
My partner and I were on a stake out and something I ate didn't agree with me. When you're on a stake out, you can't be too choosey about food; I should have been more careful. After almost two hours of jumping out of the car, running into the nearby alley and throwing up, my partner suggested I go home.
"Hell, with you jumping in and out of the car, we might as well put up a neon sign saying, 'Police stake out on duty', so go home."
I walked to the corner about two hundred feet away, called the Precinct and asked for a patrol car to pick me up and take me home. The two patrolmen good naturedly ragged on me all the way to my house. Thinking back on what happened, it's a good thing they were with me.
It's an old story and a cliché, but when I got home there was a strange car in the driveway. I entered my house with the two patrolmen behind me. The noises coming from down the hallway to the bedroom couldn't be mistaken. Somebody or bodies were getting it on.
I walked to the bedroom door, knowing what I'd see before I got there; I was right. My wife Johanna and a man were having, I guess a conjugal visit is as good a way to describe it as any. "What the hell?" That was my not very original question; the same one that's been asked thousands of times.
Having seen my share of domestic disputes I planned on telling the guy to get the hell out of my house. In spite of my anger I knew if I started beating on the guy I might not stop and that would lead me into trouble I didn't need; I already had a plate full. That was before I recognized my wife's playmate.
Her boy toy was my superior at the Department, Captain Joe Harper. Harper was a brown nosing, ass kissing hack that only got his position because of political pull. When I saw him stand up, naked, in surprise, I lost it. Still I wouldn't have attacked him if he hadn't gone for his gun lying on the night stand next to the bed. Guess he was as surprised as me and his first thought was about self preservation.
I closed the distance between us before he could grab his weapon and hit him so hard I bet his daddy got a headache. He fell across the bed; I straddled him and started beating on him. Now I swear I hadn't planned on hitting my wife; I don't hit women. But she jumped between Harper and me; I never knew if she wanted to protect Harper or to stop me from going to jail. Johanna caught a roundhouse right hand and went ass over tea kettle off the bed.
It's a good thing that the patrolmen, who had brought me home, rushed down the hall to the bedroom when they heard me yell. If they hadn't I might have killed that piece of crap Harper. They pulled me off him before I became guilty of manslaughter or murder.
No one including my wife, who worked for the local school board and especially Captain Harper, wanted the situation to go public. He didn't bring charges of assault with intent and convinced Johanna not to press a spousal abuse complaint. However, when the dust cleared, I had lost my job and my wife. I did get to keep the house and most of the money.
I complained that it wasn't right or fair that I would lose my job and Harper would go unpunished. It didn't do any good; I was still terminated for conduct unbecoming or some such bullshit. Harper didn't get off scot free; a severe letter of reprimand was put in his file.
Whoop de do, I thought. Major Taylor, the head of the Detective Bureau, told me that Harper would be demoted to Lieutenant and because of that letter and the reason for it, would never get another promotion. Taylor also said Harper would have a hard time with the rank and file of the Department.
"Yeah, but the asshole still has a job," I argued. "Where is his punishment? What has he lost? I've lost my wife and my job. Hell, I've lost my way of life."
"It's a bad result," Taylor said, "but his family has too much political clout for the higher ups in the Department to do much more. If you need a hand or I can help, call me Matt."
"What about my background?" I ask Worth. I was still a tad defensive about that piece of history.
"I know you were a good, maybe even great, police detective. I also know why you left the department." Worth took a gold cigarette case out of the inside pocket of his very expensive sports coat. "Mind if I smoke?" He asked and lit his cigarette before I answered either way. I slid the ashtray I keep for clients across the desk toward him; I don't smoke but it isn't up to me to police people's vices or health.
"Your knowledge and talents as a detective plus your experience with your ex-wife suit you perfectly for this job."
When he mentioned my ex, I thought, I was right; I don't like this son of a bitch. "What's the job Mr. Worth?"
"My wife," Worth squirmed in his chair, obviously embarrassed and angry, "had an affair with one of the hired help."
"It wasn't like that Jason," Susan complained, but she had a sly little smile on her face.
"Shut up," Worth said in anger. "It was like that. You just couldn't keep your hands off him, could you? I still can't believe it; a woman of your station and class rutting like a pig with a damned pool boy."
"Stanley is more than a pool boy; he's a very talented up and coming actor," Susan countered.
"Talented actor my ass," Mr. Worth responded. "He's had a few bit parts in plays at the Muni Opera. And it doesn't matter if he is an actor; you shouldn't have been with him."
"I didn't say his talent was in acting, now did I?" Susan said with an evil smile.
"Damn you Susan. When this is over you and I will have to revisit our relationship," Mr. Worth promised.
Susan started to answer but I interrupted. "Enough, I'm not interested in hearing you two verbally tear each other up. What's the job Mr. Worth?"
"Like I said, Susan had an affair with our pool boy," Worth stared at his wife, daring her to deny it. "When I found out, I threw him off the property and put the word out so no one that matters would hire him."
"Again, what do you want me to do Mr. Worth?"
"Well apparently the boy didn't like the consequences of his little tryst with my wife and he has threatened me."
"What Jason really means is that Stanley is blackmailing him," Susan said with a sexy little grin. At least it looked sexy to me. "He, Stanley I mean, told my husband that he had a DVD of Stanley and me together. Said he'd make sure it went public and all our friends, family, and Jason's business associates would get a copy if Jason didn't pay him one hundred thousand dollars."
"Shut up Susan," Worth almost yelled. Looking back at me he said, "I want you to find him and persuade him to leave me alone and to give you the DVD and any copies he has made. Do anything that's necessary to make him leave us alone." Worth looked at me with an angry face and added, "Anything that works, anything at all."
"Have you contacted the police? Blackmail is a crime you know."
"If I go to the police I might as well put an ad in the paper saying my wife acted like a slut," Worth angrily replied, glaring at Susan. "That's why I came to you. I've heard that you are very discreet."
"From who?" I asked.
"What?"
"Who referred you to me?"
"Well ... Major Taylor for one. We've met him at several of the police social functions." Worth took a deep breath. "I don't understand the question Mr. Steele. What difference does it make how we found you? The only question is, are you going to take the job?"
"I haven't made a decision just yet," I replied. "Leave your number and I'll call you by tomorrow morning with my answer."
"There are other private investigators, you know,"
"Yes there are Mr. Worth. Feel free to contact any of them, but if you want me you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if I'm available."
Worth looked around my office. He saw the worn carpet, the walls that needed painting and the beat up desk I was sitting behind. "It doesn't look like you can afford to be choosy about jobs."
"Appearances are deceiving Mr. Worth and besides, money isn't everything." I lied; money was everything. Well almost everything. "If you like, I'll call you tomorrow; if not, it's been nice meeting you."
"Very well," Worth said and stood. "I'll expect your call tomorrow Mr. Steele. Come along Susan."
Mrs. Worth made a show of uncrossing her long legs, stood, and offered her hand. "I think I'm going to like working with you Mr. Steele. I'll bet you'll be more fun than poor old Stanley."
"Not for the same reasons I hope Mrs. Worth. Goodbye."
I called Major Taylor right after the Worth's left. "Hey Major. I understand you're sending business my way."
"I take it you're talking about Jason Worth, Matt."
"Why'd you suggest he contact me with his problem?"
"I don't know what his problem is," the Major said. "He was a bit secretive about it. When he asked if I knew any PIs I could recommend, I told him I'd recommend you or Rollie Chambers. He's a spoiled rich guy and I thought you might make a piece of change off him."
"Thanks Major, I can't talk about his problem but I'm going to take the job."
"How are you doing Matt?"
"I'm good Major. It's been almost two years since I was screwed by the Department and I've made lemonade out of those lemons. I like my life; I can work when I want and for who I want. And I don't have some politically connected jerk telling me what to do."
"How are you doing for money? I've heard about that office of yours and the truck you're driving."
"Between you and me Major, the work I'm getting is setting me up pretty well. The truck runs good and I don't worry about parking it in some of the areas I've had to go to. As for the office, the only reason I even have one is for some place to meet clients."
"Wouldn't a nicer office impress your clients more?"
"My place makes the people think I'm a little desperate; it makes them think I'll work harder to earn their money."
"Okay Matt. Call me if I can help."
"Sure Major and thanks."
What wasn't mentioned by Major Taylor or myself was the settlement I got from the St. Louis Police Department. I'd sued for wrongful termination and a whole bunch of other things. My attorney, Jeb Smith, was an old college buddy and he is very good; a real vicious Great White shark in an ocean of lesser sharks. Jeb was so good that the other sharks got out of the water when Jeb started swimming.
It's good to have friends; it's even better to have friends that can get you 'Go to Hell' type money in a settlement. 'Go to Hell' type money is when you have enough money to tell everyone to go to hell; you don't need them for your livelihood.
"You really don't have a case Matt," Jeb told me, but he had this shark's grin on. "I mean you did beat the hell out of your boss. And that's insubordination, no matter what the reason. But."
"But what?" I asked.
"But the Department doesn't want the publicity of this case. It's bad enough that a superior humps a subordinate's wife. But when the superior gets off with a slap on the wrist and the husband gets fired, well, that won't sit well with the public and really wouldn't sit well with the rank and file policemen. They'll settle and for high six figures." Jeb grinned and added, "And I'll get them to pay my fees too." Then he laughed like hell. Jeb didn't care much for the establishment.
Jeb sent an 'Intent to file suit' letter to the Police Commissioner with copies to Captain Harper, his boss, and their legal department. Then he sat back and waited for the explosion. It wasn't long in coming. The attorney for the Police, Judas Dobson, immediately called to set up a meeting with Jeb and me. When Jeb told me about the meeting, the when and where, I said "Judas, that's a fitting name for an attorney." Then realizing who I was talking to said, "Sorry Jeb, I don't mean you.
Jeb laughed and opened us another beer. "Call me what you want but pay me my 30 pieces of silver." He read through the request for a meeting again. "We'll go meet with Dobson. But here's what I want you to do."
We walked into Dobson's office and were shown to a large conference room. The secretary got us coffee and Dobson and three other people came into the room; they were all lawyers. Jeb was outnumbered four to one, but I had confidence in my shark.
"Mr. Steele, I'm Judas Dobson," he said as he sat down across the table. It was all I could do not to laugh at hearing his name. "I will speak for the St. Louis Police Department during these negotiations."
"Hold on Dobson," I said. "This is not a negotiation meeting. If my demands aren't met, and met by end of business tomorrow, I'll file suit."
All of this was according to the script Jeb and I had worked out the previous night.
"Surely Mr. Smith has told you that you have no case?" Dobson's face was red. The young pretty female lawyer on his side of the table was trying to keep from smiling.
"Yeah, he did. But I'll demand a jury trial and take my chances in court." I looked directly at Dobson with a challenge. "Worst case scenario is I have to pay Jeb's fees. Best case, the jury will see what a hosing I got and side with me; they'll roast Harper, the Department, and the City of St. Louis. Your choice Dobson. C'mon Jeb, let's get lunch so you can pad your expense account."
I stood and started toward the door. Jeb stood, shrugged his shoulders at Dobson, and followed me. We had a hard time eating lunch because we kept laughing about the look on Dobson's face.
Jeb called me about 1 PM the next day. "We'll have a check first thing tomorrow morning Matt. If you take care, you probably won't have to work for three or four years."
Enough reminiscing, I thought. I picked up the phone and called Mr. Worth. "I've decided to at least talk more in depth about your case Mr. Worth. I'll be out to your place tomorrow morning at 10 to get more information and possibly a retainer."
"Is that really necessary Mr. Steele?"
"It is if you want me to work on your case. Your choice"
"I'll see you at 10 sharp." Worth hung up the phone with a little extra force.
Worth's house was set back from the two lane blacktop road; you couldn't see it from the street. The grounds were more like a golf course with lots of trees rather than just a place for a house. The grass was extensive with no bare spots and manicured to an exact height. The address was so exclusive that it didn't have a city or community name; it just said 'St. Louis County' and a zip code.
The look I got from Worth that morning as I drove up the tree lined road to his house was priceless. I was driving my old pickup truck. The right rear wheel fender was a study in body filling Bondo; I was having the rusted area repaired. My truck has three different colors of paint, not counting the Bondo, because one door and one front fender are each from different trucks.
In its defense, the old Chevy has a 350 Cu. In. engine that's just one or two accessories from being a full blown racing engine. Not only does it run good, it will outrun most cars; including police interceptors. My truck is what is known as a sleeper. The old adage of you can't tell a book by its cover aptly applies to me and my truck.
Worth had a disgusted look and a frown on his face when I pulled to a stop in front of his house. "Really Mr. Steele. Is it necessary to drive to my residence in such a ... a ... well, a deplorable dilapidated vehicle?"
"Yep. That's my work vehicle, my only work vehicle." I had to shut the driver's door twice to get it to latch. "Shall we get down to business Mr. Worth, or do you want to discuss my ride some more?" I smiled at him and waited.
He looked at my red satin, St. Louis Cardinal jacket, the St. Louis Rams T shirt, faded jeans, and cowboy boots with the same disgust on his face. Worth was wearing a dark blue suit and vest with a lighter color pinstripe plus a blue on blue shirt with little diamond shapes on it, opened at the neck; I think the shirt was a Christian Dior. His clothes were probably, no not probably, his clothes were worth more than my truck.
"Come inside please," Worth said and turned to lead the way into his humble abode. The house was a copy of one of the southern plantation homes that you see in the movies. Tall white columns supported a second story balcony.
I guess he likes to stand out there and watch the peasants work, I thought. Inside facing the entry way was a staircase that would rival the one at Tara in Gone with the Wind. It was about eight feet wide and led to a landing. From there it split so there were two ways to continue to the second story.
"Jacqueline, bring coffee into the sitting room please," Worth requested of a young woman in a gray and white uniform. To me the room he led us into would be a living room; I guess the elite and landed gentry called it a sitting room.
The 'sitting' room was very large and very airy with floor to ceiling windows along one wall. The view was over the manicured lawn and swimming pool at the rear of the house. The furniture was mostly rattan with glass top tables. This is a damn jungle, I thought as I saw all the plants scattered around the room. Guess they want the feeling of being outside without having to deal with the heat or insects.
Susan Worth stood as we entered. This time she was dressed a little more demurely but there was no doubt that she was a very sexy lady. I'm quick that way; I'm a trained detective and I pick up on things like that in a hurry. She wore a pair of tailored slacks that fit very snugly across her rear. Her blouse was silk and unbuttoned about two buttons more than should have been allowed by law. It was obvious from the tightness of the slacks and with the opening in her blouse that Susan wasn't wearing anything else.
She shook my hand and held it a little longer than necessary; both to her husband's and my discomfort. Got to watch myself around this one, I thought. You don't screw around with a client's wife or girlfriend; it makes them hesitant about paying the bill.
Pulling my hand away from her, I looked around the room. On one wall, over a wood burning fireplace, was an oil portrait of Susan Worth. Now I don't know much about art, I just know what I like and I really liked this painting. Susan was sitting on a plain chair with no arms. Her legs were crossed and her arms were folded across in front of her holding her opposite shoulders and she wore a beautiful smile; and that's all.
Mr. Worth walked over to me as I stared at the portrait. "She screwed the artist too," he said with more than a little disgust and anger in his voice. "And then the bastard still demanded full payment. She seems to like tormenting me by screwing the help."
I turned to look at Susan and she gave me a sexy little smile as if to say, 'you too can be one of the lucky ones'. Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to watch myself around this one, my thought echoed again.
"Okay Mr. Worth, tell me more about this Stanley."
"His name is Stanley Moore; here's a picture of him," he said handing it to me. It showed a young man about 25 with a lot of sandy blonde hair, blue eyes and a well muscled torso showing a 'six pack'. "That picture was taken by a security company that watches the house when we're away for any length of time," Worth informed me.
"Okay, I'll need all the information you can give me about good ole Stanley; like his address, phone number and such."
"I've put together this ... well biography, on Moore." Worth handed me a folder that contained Stanley's last known address and phone number. It also told me where he went to college, didn't graduate, and what he was interested in; besides Susan Worth that is. I looked at Worth with an unspoken question.
"The parts about his likes and such came off his employment application," he said. Turning to his wife he suggested, "I'm sure Susan knows more about him than I."
Susan gave me one of her semi sexy smiles. "I really don't know that much about Stan." Looking at her husband she added, "We never talked that much."
"How did Moore contact you about the money?" I asked.
Worth went to his desk, unlocked the middle drawer, and searched for something. While he was doing that, I looked at Susan. She's so sexy it ought to be against the law, I thought. Still, I wonder why Worth puts up with her crap. For that matter it's obvious she doesn't think much of her husband, so I'm wondering why she stays? Duuh, silly me, it's the money stupid. Shaking my head, I had answered my own dumb question.
"I received this by courier at my office," Worth said and handed me a folded sheet of paper.
It was a letter, really a note, supposedly sent by Stanley Moore. The note said that he had a two hour DVD showing Susan and Stanley getting it on. He wanted one hundred thousand dollars for the DVD or he would send it to friends, family, and business associates of the Worth's. The note said he would call them in a few days to set up a drop for the money; when he got the money he'd send Worth the DVD. The note was a word document from a computer; even the signature was printed.
"I know this is a silly question, but do you have those kinds of funds available, Mr. Worth?" Jason Worth looked at me like I was an idiot, like I was asking if I'd asked if the Pope was Catholic.
"Oh, Jason has that and much more," Susan answered with a grin. "Don't you dear?"
"Let's keep our business, our business, Susan," Worth chastised her. The look on his face was interesting. He showed both pride that he had that kind of money and frustration that his wife would talk about it. "Yes Mr. Steele, I have the funds. It will take a trip to my bank to get the cash, but it's available."
"How many employees do you have, Mr. Worth?" I asked.
"What difference does that make? Stanley Moore is the one demanding money."
"This note is printed from a computer or word processor. It isn't actually signed by a person; anyone could have used Stanley's name. So, how many employees do you have that are here all the time?"
"Why only those that live here?"
"Only someone that was here all the time would be in a position to record Mrs. Worth and Stanley. A stranger would have been seen coming in to set the camera or to take out the recording. Unless, there is someone who comes here a lot, it has to be someone that the staff wouldn't find unusual being here."
"There are four that live here." Worth stopped and then continued when I raised an eyebrow.
Raising an eyebrow is a very good way of communicating without speaking, if you can do it. The raised eyebrow can ask a question, show disbelief, interest in what someone is telling you or invite them to continue. I've practiced in front of a mirror until I mastered the trick.
"Samuel is the butler and house manager; his wife Millie is the cook and housekeeper," Worth informed me. "Ralph is the chauffer, he also maintains the vehicles. And Jacqueline assists Millie with the house. After a few seconds, he continued, "Of course there's Susan's string of playmates. The latest one is Danby Summers; he's here at least two times a week from what I hear from the staff. He comes during the day mostly, when I'm at the office."
Susan at first looked surprised that Jason knew that her boy toy visited and then she got a wicked smile on her face. "If you spent more time with me, he wouldn't be able to visit, now would he Jason?"
"If I spent more time with you instead of at the office you'd have to get a job to keep up the lifestyle you've become accustomed to Susan," Worth replied.
Jason Worth looks like he's caught between a rock and a hard place, I thought. If he doesn't make a lot of money, Susan won't stay with him; but him spending a lot of time away gives her the chance to have other men. Rock and a hard place alright.
"You need to get me pictures and information about each of your employees. I'll be spending some time here at your home, checking things out and I'll have some questions for them. You can tell them I'm a security consultant."
"I take it you've decided to accept my case, in spite of your reservations about our lifestyle," Worth said with what I took as a relief.
"Yes sir. It isn't up to me to make a judgment about how you live. It wouldn't work for me but hey, whatever floats your boat. My concern is stopping Stanley Moore or whoever is trying to extort money from you. What about this Danby Summers character? Where would I find him?"
"We're having a little get together tonight," Susan answered. "Just a few people, twenty or so. Danby will be here. Won't you join us?"
I looked at Worth. He didn't seem too happy at the scenario. I don't know if it's because Danby is coming to his house or that I'd be coming in a social context, I thought. Probably a little of both.
That moment in time is something I will never forget. Though it wasn’t even the most pleasureful moment of that day it’s forever frozen in my mind. The feel of the chains on my limbs. The vulnerability I felt from the nudity, bondage, and the control she had over my most intimate parts. The feel of her possessing me, me belonging totally to her. I’ll never forget it. The chill of the cold steel shackles around my wrists and ankles began to raise goosebumps across my skin. I could feel the cool...
DominatrixChapter four: The Club. Michael was beginning to come to the unhappy realisation that he was bored. A harem of five beautiful women and no need for him to lift a finger or deny himself any material thing that caught his eye sounded like heaven, but the mind craved variation and challenge. But Gregory’s warning held him in check. If he messed up and attracted attention then the consequences would be dire, perhaps even fatal. He felt distracted and irritable, as though held in some unseen...
Chapter two: Harem. Michael awoke to momentary confusion before the events of the previous day came back to him and he remembered where he was. The magic ring currently on the dresser beside the bed — always cold to the touch — that allowed him to manipulate others’ minds, the girl — Jessica — whose house (and bed) this was, her sister — Kat — still asleep in his arms. And on his other side, Jessica herself, just waking up. Michael grabbed the ring and slipped it on. It wouldn’t do for his...
Chapter three: Family. Michael arrived home to find a stranger in his house. The man, middle-aged, balding, and dressed like a respectable businessman from the 1950s, was seated at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of tea, and apparently waiting for him. But the thing that worried Michael most was that this man had a mind unlike any other he’d encountered since acquiring the ring, most minds were tangled, threads going in all directions. Minds that he had manipulated began to show signs of...
Michael was woken by a phone call from Darryl. The man seemed determined to be friends and Michael hasn’t managed to shake him off. Sighing, he answered the phone. ‘Mike, you’ve got to get to the club. You’re not going to want to miss this.’ ‘What are you talking about, Darryl?’ ‘The old man’s here!’ ‘Old man?’ ‘The founder! He doesn’t come in much these days, you don’t want to miss this!’ ‘OK, sure. I’ll be there.’ — The old man, it turned out, was a rough-looking rake of a man in his...
Chapter one: Jessica Michael walked down the street, looking for a particular type of shop. He wanted to find a pretty girl, so where better to look than a high-end clothes store? Finding just the place he went inside and began browsing. Though he was careful to give the impression that he was looking at clothes, the real objects of his scrutiny were the young women milling about. When he saw Jessica, he knew she would be the one. Tall, with long, brown hair tied back in a ponytail, a nice tan...

BDSMJanice Webster scraped the frost off the window of the piper cub one more time. The expanse of snow and trees seemed unchanged from the last time she looked, over an hour ago. The sun was slipping beneath the horizon, leaving a ruddy glow on the otherwise pristine white surface below her. She was beginning to regret her decision to accept the teaching job in the native Inupiat village called Kluso. “It’s only August and the ground is already covered with snow,” she thought to herself. “What...
Dearest Franklin: I'd never even thought of telling you this, my darling husband. I know. We've been married twenty-five years. We have no secrets. Except this one. It a memory I have cherished for years. A really terrible little event, I'm afraid. I'm embarrassed to even write it down. Don't worry. You'll never know. When I'm done writing this, I'll delete it. But, tonight, with you in Portland on that medical convention, I've given myself permission to write this. And masturbate...
When it’s three a.m. in the morning and the stiflingly hot weather is ruining your sleep, the first thing that you do is get out of bed, and go straight for the fridge. Right after a nice and cold shower, of course. That’s exactly what a certain dark-blonde woman was doing on a stiflingly hot night. After a rough day at work, not being able to sleep was making her very uncomfortable. Even as she pulled open the refrigerator door, her ripe and young body was covered in nothing but a brown...

That’s exactly what a certain dark-blonde woman was doing on a stiflingly hot night. After a rough day at work, not being able to sleep was making her very uncomfortable. Even as she pulled open the refrigerator door, her ripe and young body was covered in nothing but a brown tank-top that clung tightly to her wet curves, barely hiding her assets. She felt the beads of water that were still sliding down her smooth skin, vaporizing and drifting away on unpleasant warm currents of air. She...
He knocked on my door promptly at 8pm. I opened the door, and his eyes slid quickly down my body. ‘Very nice, but aren’t you going to be cold? It’s only 50 degrees out there.’ I smiled, ‘I’ll be okay.’ He was right – the little black dress and sexy high heels were no match for the breezy spring chill, my coat doing nothing to protect me. However, I kept quiet, hoping he didn’t notice the goosebumps covering my arms. It was a pleasant date, we talked and laughed easily through dinner,...

It was a cold January morning. Caitlin could see her breath in the chill room as she poked her ruffled head over the edge of the comforter. She looked around the room. It was still snowing outside, she smiled, she knew her lover would stay with her for a few more days while the blizzard passed. ‘It’s cold.’ She pulled the cover back over her head and snuggled up to him, rather excessively. ‘Mmm, so warm, I don’t want this to end.’ Jason was about half awake. He rubbed her hips beneath the...
On the far end of the Galaxy, our intrepid hero Dirk Starkiller is on yet another mission of dire importance. “Aw shit, hang on to something!” Dirk ordered a second before the shuttle collided with the surface of the moon. The hull slid along an ancient sheet of rock and ice for eight hundred meters before finally shuddering to a halt. Dirk exhaled slowly as he opened his eyes. He blinked, taking in the field of white that filled his vision before realization dawned. “Whew! Snow must’ve...
Fantasy & Sci-FiIt had been a hot day out here in the desert, and as night fell, the heat was just getting bearable. Even now, as it was rather late, Sara was still sweating, as she pulled up outside the small, neon lit bar. Entering the bar, she found it almost deserted. The bartender was clearing the tables, and a man sat at the bar with the last beer of the evening. She hesitated, and the two men looked her over, but what the heck? She knew she was a good-looking woman in her tight jeans and a t-shirt,...

Amy and I enjoyed camping during the autumn months when the trees were a rainbow of colours, and walking through the forest was a beautiful array of sights and sounds. This year however my friend Zach was visiting for the season and we took this trip as a good way to catch up since we were all friends from college and hadn't seen one another in ages.This year however felt a lot colder than usual and we were second guessing our time outside, but decided we could handle it being hardened campers...

COLD FISH, Section 1 by [email protected] Rob was a cold fish. It was the phrase used openly by his colleagues and subordinates at work, even those who liked his ruthless efficiency and drive. And it was a phrase that Rob himself welcomed: he was pleased to be detached and unreachable by his colleagues. Rob was Sales Director of a large publishing company in the city of London, no mean feat at the age of 28. He had graduated with a first class degree at Oxford and quickly risen through...

She was home alone… in a strangers home. At least it was well-stocked. She went about tidying the place up for something to do. He had given her the larger bedroom… she snuggled up under the fluffy blanket for a while, but she was too nervous to fall asleep. It was only afternoon but it was dark outside, the snowstorm didn’t seem like abating any time soon. The phone in the kitchen rang for a few seconds and fell silent before she could get out of bed. Now, the phone besides her bed started...
My name is Mark and I lived with my Mum, Helen, in a small, one-bedroom cottage in Wales. She had the bedroom and I slept on the sofa bed. In the winter of 1979 it was very cold. Very, very cold. Mum and I have spent many an evening sitting by the fire to keep warm, wrapped in blankets, drinking hot chocklate and chatting each other about things that had happend that day, School or her work.Mum works in the local post office, we do the best we can. We've have got eachother. It's not all bad,...
by Millie Dynamite This is a very short flash story from the disturbed mind of Millie. It contains Rape of an underage girl. If you don't like that sort of thing, um, why read it? If you, then read away. Cold Encounter The cold of the night clawed its way inside me. My face pushes against the cold, rough, hard bricks of the building, chaffing my tender flesh from the relentless rubbing my left check against the nodulous surface.

The night was freezing and a lone woman picked up the pace. She was drenched, her heels clicking across the wet asphalt as she peered through the black. Still, the dark man was behind. Slowly, gradually, he was beginning to catch up. Running wasn't an option unless her sinister pursuer suffered from a similarly debilitating case of asthma. She turned a corner. The moon was nearly hidden behind the clouds and street lights no longer reached the tiny alley, yet she pushed on. Would he follow...
Monster SexThe sun was high over the ocean and I could feel the warmth on my face as I reclined back in my beach chair, singing along with Van Halen’s “Beautiful Girls” on a blaring radio by my side. “ ... now, I’m a seaside sittin’, just a smokin’ and a drinkin’, I’m ringside, on top of the world. I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand. All I need is a beautiful girl...” As I dug my toes deeper into the beach soil and took a swallow from my frosty beer bottle, I glanced over at my...
Amy had enough that day. Roger announced he wanted to break up with her, but the thing is that he was a coward and didn't tell it to her face. Instead, he went around telling everyone else on campus that he was seeing another girl. Amy was furious and confronted her boyfriend. "Don't be such a chicken shit and come tell me that you're fucking around!" She yelled at him. "Calm down Amy please!" "Roger, just get out of my face. I don't ever want to speak with you again. You...
Lita raised her head as consciousness returned. The full moon shone in her eyes and no sound aside from the occasional whisper of wind-blown leaves reached her ears. Where am I? She wondered, not quite able to discern her surroundings. There was no hint of fear, no apprehension, just a dull ache in the small of her back and a persistent throb in her crotch. Her wits returned a little at a time, and she saw that she was in a clearing surrounded by large, graceful pines with the alluring scent...
That's always the trouble during the Winter months up North, its dark, misty and fucking cold.I did not want to leave the warmth of the bus as the cold permeates through the woolens, attacking the bare flesh closest to the warmth generating areas on your body, covered with the flimsiest cotton, all in the notion of fashion, who the fuck is going to see a thin pair of cotton panties under your skirt, I suppose even a girl of f******n needs to feel she's hip in these frozen wastes, and if I dont...
Slippery when wet By Forcemaster2000 He kept telling himself, at least it's a job. Spencer Drake had spent more than enough of the last few years on the unemployment line, or worse yet, standing in line at a soup kitchen. There were plenty worse jobs than pushing corpses around the morgue, at least that's what he kept telling himself. At the moment, he was pushing some old dead fart from ICU down to the meat locker. The old guy came in that morning complaining of chest pains,...
Author’s Note: I fully realize that the laws for child custody and adoption are much more complex than represented here. The real laws are frequently counter-productive and in many cases provide less support for children — rather than more. Several people have suggested that I change the time of the story back to when the bureaucracy was smaller — but for obvious reasons I wanted it generally in the current time frame. So with poetic license and the forgiveness of my readers, I give you this...
I'll write this in several segments, "Cold October rain" is the beginning of how I met my last lover back in 2001.My husband and I lived in what was a semi rural town with lots of freedom after we were married. An older house with two lots on a not so busy street with fairly nice older neighbors who minded their own business unless stirred, but friendly enough folks. Well, as with all things, change was in the wind. The older neighbors began dying off, replaced with younger people who...
"Wow," Sharon said breathlessly. "It's snowing." It was the beginning of winter break and it had yet to snow, so when Sharon saw the feather-like white flakes outside, she rushed to the sliding glass window that led to her back yard. Placing her palms against the glass, she watched the snow fall peacefully. "James, come look!" she said without even a glance toward him. With her parents out all night on their date, Sharon had had the perfect opportunity to have her boyfriend over. James watched...
Straight SexHello guys out there, this is Hardman (alias) from Kolkata studying in a reputed college. I am an avid reader of and finally decided to pen my experience down. Being my first story, there might be mistakes. Please ignore. So the story goes likes this. My cousin’s ring ceremony was the night when this incident took place. In those areas, nights would be as cold as 2 degree Celsius. That night, the short gown slipped off her shoulders and my fingers drowned in the dripping clefts of her body. It...
IncestThe chill of the cold steel shackles around my wrists and ankles began to raise goosebumps across my skin. I could feel the cool dry air of the room as it moved in and around my mostly naked form as I stood, spread-eagled and chained to the two large columns in the center of the room. In the center of her room. My breathing deepened as the realization of my situation began to sink in. My temperature was running high from the anticipation that had built up over the course of the last few weeks...
FemdomAMTRAK Such a tragic scene - two kids stranded in the rain. I'd gone to the train station in Newton, Kansas, to pick up my mom — she was coming to stay with me for a few weeks for Christmas. The roads were bad and I was running late. A cold winter storm - this was almost the middle of December - had moved in. The temperature was hovering a few degrees above freezing and the rain had occasional flurries of sleet mixed in with it. Even with the four-wheel drive of my Range Rover I expected...
The cold of the night clawed its way inside me. My face pushes against the cold, rough, hard bricks of the building, chaffing my tender flesh from the relentless rubbing my left check against the nodulous surface. Up an inch, down, up then down, as my body lurched from the hard thrust from behind me. My hands pressed to the wall, clutching the edges of the bricks as if I prevent my falling if he let go of me. I feel my pants and panties bunched around my ankles. The man’s knees pressed into...
I was nine when Uncle Jack came calling. I was out in the garage playing with our new dog, Lady. I heard a few loud bangs from the house then saw my Uncle jack quickly get into a car an drive away. I ran into the house to see what happened. I almost stopped breathing when I saw them. My mom was dead with a bloody hole in her chest. My dad was dead with a hole where his right eye was. My sister--My sister was dead too. The bullet went into her forehead and took out half the top of her head. I...
Opening my eyes slowly feeling at a loss as to my surroundings. Feeling the aching in my body as I begin to rise up. Suddenly realizing my body is unable to move. Looking around me seeing my hands and feet bound by small pieces of silk rope. As I lay naked and alone in a dark room. My eyes can barely make out a wall in the dim light, filled with things I have never seen before of metal and leather. Panic rising in my body as the realization of my situation sinks in. Desperately fighting the...
I’ve been away for a while. Real life and other projects have kept me busy. Things have stabilized a little and I hope to get back to writing shorter stories. This is a return visit to one of my characters that I like very much. It is a standalone story but I would suggest that you read the other two installments of ‘Cold Steele’. Those stories will give you insight into the main characters and their personalities. Either way, I thank you for reading my work. Constructive comments,...
There I was sitting in the instrument lab of Sampson University, running the sixth of what would be ten trials. There was a hell of a storm outside, but you wouldn’t know it from here in the fishbowl. You can lose track of time, as well as any semblance of connection to the outside world, in this brick room in the center of the building, filled with all manner of instruments used by the chemistry department. The room is officially named the advanced chemistry instrument lab, but everyone calls...
‘Jeff Pierson, you have been in bed for the past four days, nonstop. You smell disgusting, your mail is flowing OUT of your mailbox, the newspapers have formed a pyramid amongst themselves, the neighbors are starting to talk, AND I’m getting pissed. Now get out of bed.’ ‘Go away, Lacey,’ I groaned, wondering now why I ever thought giving her a key to my place was a good idea. ‘Dammit, Jeff, I mean it. It’s nearly one in the afternoon. Get. Up.’ I didn’t budge. I didn’t need to pull the covers...
Will tonight be what I fear, a plaintive Pas-de-deux choreographed to the requiem for a dying marriage, danced without desire for an audience of strangers?'I wish my life could be that dramatic, that flowery, even that corny, but my journal reflects the me I want to be, crushed under the weight of the me that I am.I know my husband Joel and I love each other, but what brought us together ultimately kept us apart. We had severely repressive religious upbringings, we're socially inept engineering...
Group SexFor any of you living in this area you will know that this morning has brought cold wind and horrible rain, enough to make you freeze if your not wrapped up warm enough. Well I went to get on the first bus this morning and waiting at the stop wwas this slim girl dressed in nothing but a tight long sleeved top that showed her small teenage clevage and very short tight fitting skirt. We didn't say anything as we both got on the bus and made our way to the back bench seat. She sat on one side...
Marissa opened her eyes. The pain in her head was terrible. The light from the single bright bulb stung. She slowly accustomised to the light and could make out bare brickwork. She felt cold and naked. She became aware that she was seated and that her hands were tied behind her and her ankles tightly bound. She looked down at the plastic tag hloding her ankles and saw that only the black, lace top hold ups and the black heels remained of the clothes she had been wearing. Marissa panicked and a...
FetishIt had been a long cold day. Mom had had to turn the heating down this winter to save money, ever since my father had cut her off she’d been showing signs of slight desperation. The heating was yet another sign. I tried to help out where I could always silently cursing my father, who could more than afford to keep us in the, well no I won’t call it luxury but comfort is a good enough description, that we’d become accustomed to. I mowed lawns on the weekends or washed cars, earning a...
We lived in a small, poorly maintained two-story house in what I always referred to as the ‘frozen northland’ – other folks called it Minnesota. The master bedroom was downstairs and our two bedrooms were upstairs. My sister’s bedroom faced the north, while my bedroom faced the south-east corner. Because the windows in her room sucked – literally – her room was always cold in the winter. To prevent her from freezing in the winter, the heat was always turned way up. While it made her...

So its another cold winter night and I have been out late shoveling the walkways, the driveway, helping out the neighbors and then having a quick couple of beers with a couple of neighborhood guys. I am cold and wet, but after the beers I am feeling a little horny and wondering what my beautiful and sexxy girlfriend is doing inside the warm house. As I open the side door to the house I am struck first by the warmth, then by the fragrance of candles and only the light from the candles. I am...
CaughtKneeling on the cold, concrete floor beside the toilet, dressed in lingerie and wearing pink lipstick waiting for the door to open, my mind kept going around in circles to what led me here, wondering if I could have done anything different to prevent it.I remembered sitting on the toilet, I looked at my bight pink nylon and white lace panties, resisting the urge to play with myself. They looked so lovely against my pale, shaved legs above the stocking tops and garter straps. I blushed...

AnalThe cold was the problem. He first noticed the absence of sensation. Regaining consciousness, he shifted, and his arm dragged with dead weight. Still semi-frozen in the rigor of sleep, he strained to no avail. Arm wrapped across his chest and hand trapped below his side, it would not budge. Moments of panic hammered at a dry spot below his throat before a coughing breath broke the last of sleep's iron web. Pins and needles stabbed though his hand as he flailed to roll over and scrambled...
Matt went inside the room and saw Trevor, lying on the bed, naked and motionless, with his eyes shut. Matt walked toward the bed and sat on the right side of Trevor. He watched Trevor's nude body, which was then very pale but very muscular. He marveled at Trevor's well-toned body, just looking at it made him very hard. Matt placed his hands on Trevor's breasts, feeling his taut muscle beneath his palms. He moved his palms over Trevor's shoulders and caressed his way back to his breasts. He...

It was Sunday evening in late February and the Globonautics building was all but deserted. Outside the wind was whipping up a storm, and Chad Nelson stared at the swirling rain lashing the car park on the video monitor in his office. He hoped the weather wasn't going to ruin his night. Nelson was stocky in build, with a close cropped military style haircut and a rigid demeanour. His grey eyes were strong, with a gaze that seemed to cut through anyone who challenged him. At fifty-two, Nelson...
I turned on the bathroom fan, the soft lights illuminating the white and blue tiles. I turned on the shower water, and within a few minutes, steam was rising from inside. I made sure to bring in my razor and shaving cream. After doing my hair and face, I sat down on the gray, cold stone bench in the shower stall. The heat had worked its way into my pores, and my skin had opened up for me. I took a handful of shaving cream and lathered up my cock and balls. It tingled and sent waves up...
It was just something I did. Just a sideline, an amusement to satisfy the voyeur in me. Usually on a Thursday afternoon, when it was quiet, so I could see her without disturbance – no customers moving in the way of my desire and interrupting my current fantasy image. ‘She’ was in her forties and beautiful – always in a business suit, always looking immaculate and always incredibly sexy. And then there was me. A student in his 30’s who really should not be pretending to browse the...
