June, 1985, Chicago, Illinois
Kara arrived early Saturday afternoon and once she was settled, Karin asked her to talk. They didn’t resurface until it was time for dinner, so I spent several hours working on programs for NIKA. Penny had made quite a bit of progress with the modules that she was working on, and I did my best to finish a key module that I’d been working on during the week. By dinner time, I’d come close, but I’d need a few more hours which I’d try to sneak in on Sunday.
After dinner everyone went to see A View to a Kill, the latest James Bond movie. Christopher Walken played an insane businessman whose goal was to destroy Silicon Valley, and he pulled it off quite well. Roger Moore as Bond was only so-so, but overall the movie was entertaining. We went for ice cream at Frusen Glädjé afterwards, and Karin laughed at the name and the faux Swedish milieu.
“You weren’t kidding when you said that Kara is completely different from you described her in the past,” Karin said, once we were alone in my room.
“Once she managed to escape from the evangelical Christian mindset, she became a new person.”
“So why not marry her? She obviously loves you. Is having two women that important to you?”
“Did you ask Kara that question?”
“I did, but I’d like to hear your version.”
“It should match hers. She told me not to ask her. When she came back into my life, it was with a single purpose - to be my lover and have my children. That’s all she wants. That’s all she ever wanted. She thinks that’s the best scenario for her and me that provides maximum happiness. She was reasonably certain that Bethany and I would marry, and she’s not only fine with that, she encouraged it. The path I’m on was one that Kara laid out for me.”
“She said some other things that I found surprising.”
“Such as?”
“She offered to join us in bed if I was interested.”
I chuckled, “ARE you interested?”
“We’ve had that discussion!” Karin said, shaking her head. “I’m curious as to why she would make that offer?”
“Didn’t you ask her?”
“I did. But it doesn’t make sense. She said you love her and will protect her and she feels free to do anything when you’re there, so long as it makes you happy.”
“And that confuses you?”
“It just seems like she’s made herself into some kind of slave for you.”
I chuckled, “No, that would have been Anala. Anala would literally do anything I told her to do, period. She submitted completely to my will. Kara, on the other hand, feels free to do those things if it makes me happy. Maybe it’s a subtle difference, but it’s an important one.”
“So you wouldn’t ask Kara to do that?” she said.
“Never. On the other hand, if she wishes to, then she’ll just say so. As she did to you. Anala wouldn’t have suggested it, or perhaps even thought about it. But she would have done it, no questions asked, even through she’s straight.”
“You certainly have had some interesting relationships. What happened with Anala? I don’t think you ever told me why you two broke up.”
“Because I’m not Hindu and won’t convert. I’m not religious, and she wanted a devout, Hindu husband. She found one. She’ll be getting married in a couple of weeks.”
“And that was her criteria? Religion?”
“It was an important one. That’s pretty common here among evangelical Christians, too. And for my friend Dave, who’s Greek Orthodox. He and Cindi broke up over the issue. Julia agreed to convert to be with him. That’s not all that strange here. I know it is in Sweden because very few people are religious or go to church. But in the US? It’s an issue for a lot of people.”
“Is being willing to have a threesome with you a requirement?”
I shook my head, “No. Not at all. Just because Kara offered it, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Bethany and I have done that before, under special circumstances, and not with Kara. Think about what I like with regards to sex.”
“Simple love making,” Karin said.
“Exactly. Just playing around is fun, but if the only thing I could ever do was make love in a missionary position, I’d be satisfied.”
“For a guy who has done just about anything I can think of that doesn’t veer off into being deviant, that’s pretty strange. But I know it’s true.”
“You don’t have to answer this, but am I still the only guy who you’ve been with?”
Karin smiled, “Normally, that’s a question a girl should refuse to answer, but yes, you are. I’ve been tempted to make love with Kristian, but I haven’t. That’s the guy I’ve been seeing. He’s been very patient with me.”
“Does he know about me?”
She nodded, “In the same way Bethany and Kara know about me. And probably the same way Jonas knew about you and Birgit.”
“May I ask why?”
“By the time we were at that point, I’d decided to come see you. I felt it was better to wait until I was here so as not to feel like I was either cheating or leading him on.”
“That makes sense. So?”
“Ask me on the 30th. Until then, I just want to make love, talk, and spend time together. If you need to work, I can talk with the girls. In fact, I want to do that. For now, it’s time to make love!”
On Sunday morning after breakfast, I turned on CNN to get an update on the TWA hijacking that had turned into a hostage crisis and heard that a 747 operated by Air India had crashed into the Atlantic, in Irish waters, about an hour after a bomb had gone off at Narita Airport in Japan. The speculation was that a bomb brought down the Air India flight, but at the moment, it was only speculation.
When the news got to the TWA hijacking, they reported that Israel had announced the release of 31 Shi’ite prisoners, but claimed that it wasn’t linked to the hijacking. That was tough to believe, even though Secretary of State George Shultz also insisted there was no linkage. I didn’t like it, but it wasn’t up to me.
For the next six days, we followed Karin’s plan - spending time together, talking, and making love. She took time to talk with Elyse, Stephanie, Jennifer, Kara, and Bethany. That gave me the opportunity to put in a few hours each day on the programming for the estimating software for Gerald Brown. With the hours I’d put in before Karin arrived, I was on track with Julia’s plan.
On Saturday, the day before Karin’s deadline of the 30th, White House spokesman Larry Speakes announced that the TWA hostages were on their way to Damascus and were expected to travel later in the day to Frankfurt, West Germany. Syria claimed responsibility for securing their release, but the Shi’ite militias rejected that claim. I was glad to see the hostages released, but wondered what backroom deal might have been cut.
The other piece of news was the confirmation that Air India flight 182 had been brought down by a bomb, and that the bomb that had gone off at Narita Airport in Japan and been intended for a second Air India flight, but had gone off prematurely. The Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder of the crashed 747 hadn’t been found, but other evidence seemed clear. There were no claims of responsibility, but investigations were focusing on Hindus and Sikhs in Canada.
Karin and I spent Saturday at Oak Street Beach. The temperatures were in the mid-70’s and with only scattered clouds it was a nice day for a picnic lunch by Lake Michigan. I hadn’t been to a beach since I’d been to the beach in Sweden with Pia, and it was a nice change of pace.
“Just remember,” I said seriously to Karin, “this isn’t like Sweden and going topless is not allowed.”
“You wish!” she laughed, giving me a playful shove.
Late in the afternoon we went home, showered, and then went to the restaurant on the 95th floor of the Hancock Building for dinner.
After dinner, Karin and I walked along Michigan Avenue and went to see St. Elmo’s Fire, a movie about a group of friends trying to figure out life and relationships after graduating from college. The movie starred Emilio Estevez, who was Martin Sheen’s son, as well as Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy. Overall, it was fairly clichéd, but that didn’t make it any less accurate. I saw quite a few parallels to real life, which made it, like The Breakfast Club, relevant to my experiences. Karin didn’t like it as much, which wasn’t surprising as she really didn’t have the same cultural context. She did say she enjoyed the movie.
“You seem to find a lot of parallels in your life in that movie,” Karin said as we were discussing the movie on the drive back to my house.
I nodded, “Stereotypes work because there is some relationship to observed reality. There were quite a few moments in that film where I could have switched places with the characters, or my close friends could have, and it would have fit perfectly. It’s kind of like another movie, The Breakfast Club, which was about High School. I think in both cases, though, the context was very American. My experience in Sweden was different, but there were similar kinds of teenage issues there. I think they just come a bit earlier because kids there seem to mature faster.”
“That’s true, at least for girls. Boys I’m not so sure about. For them, it’s often after they go to university. For girls it’s either right after 9th grade before they go to gymnasiet or while they’re at gymnasiet. I think your kids will be more like Swedish kids, at least until society gets them in its grasp.”
“My goal is to prevent that. It’s something about which Jennifer and I agree completely. The same is true with Elyse, Kara, and Bethany. Not all my friends agree, but obviously, it’s something I had to agree on with anyone I’m going to have a kid with.”
“Have you considered moving to Sweden?”
“Several times, but in the end, events, and choices I made, have put that option off into the distant future. Given the commitment that I’ve made to my friends who are working for my company, as well as to Jennifer with the baby, I just don’t see that happening. I’ll visit, but moving there doesn’t appear to be in the cards.”
“Can I ask you why you decided not to stay with us in Stockholm for your year in Sweden?”
“The pain was too great at that point. I would have been sleeping in Birgit’s old room, at least until you made your move, and even then, she would have loomed over everything even more than she did. Things weren’t rosy with the Jonssons, but being in Göteborg was good for me. It was what I needed - to be away from home, to be mostly on my own, and, to be frank, away from Birgit’s ghost.”
“I suppose that makes sense. You had planned to live with us when Birgit was alive. I remember her talking about that before she and Jonas went out sailing. She was so excited.”
“So was I,” I said. “But then they sailed into that storm. Honestly, even seven year later, I still wonder if Jonas knew about the storm and sailed into it on purpose.”
“You mentioned that before, and I still don’t think so, but it’s certainly possible. There’s no way to ever know.”
“Bethany should have asked Birgit,” I said.
“What? How?” Karin asked.
“When Bethany’s heart stopped, she had a vision, or something, of Birgit and the baby that Becky aborted. Birgit told Bethany to come back to me because I needed her.”
“That’s crazy!” Karin declared. “It was just her mind playing tricks on her. That happens sometimes when people come close to death.”
“Maybe. But Bethany believes it was real. And the trauma surgeon who saved her life believes something happened, but like me, he’s somewhat skeptical about things like that.”
“My sister told Bethany to come back? Because you needed Bethany?”
“That’s what Bethany said. You can ask her for more details if you want, though I don’t know if she has any more.”
“That’s just bizarre,” Karin said.
“All I know, and all Doctor Barton knows, is that Bethany fought to live. If that vision did it, then I’m going to accept it as real, because it brought her back from the dead. And that I can’t argue with, despite my serious questions about religion and god.”
“It seems your entire life is wrapped up in my sister in some way. Not that you’re controlled by it, but that things with her seem to define key points in your life, even after she died.”
“And yours as well. At least up to the night we first had sex.”
“And after, too,” Karin said. “It wasn’t until we changed her room and other things in the apartment that outside things became more important. I kind of feel guilty because I haven’t gone to see her since last summer. I just don’t think about her as much as I used to.”
“Me neither, but she’s always there with me. Always. And I suspect she is with you, too. You can’t have someone that important to you completely disappear from your life, even if they die. The empty hole is still there, and will always be there, it’s just much smaller because other things have helped fill the void, at least to a point. I think that’s part of what happened to us - we used each other to fill that void. As the void became smaller, we didn’t have the same bond or the same attraction we did before because we didn’t need each other like we had when the void was bigger.”
Karin sighed, “That is probably the bottom line, isn’t it? We used each other to try to ease our pain and that was never a basis for a relationship. Even when we tried to start over, Birgit was in the way. She was always with us and everything we did was colored by her. It is like you said.”
“I know it’s not the 30th, but do you want to talk?”
“No. I want you to take me home and make love to me all night. We’ll talk in the morning. If we’re still alive!” she giggled.
“Is there something specific you want?” I grinned.
“Twice each way, if you can manage that!”
“For you, Karin, I can manage anything!”
“And tomorrow night, before I leave, I just want you to make love to me your way, as much and as long as you are able.”
“Trying to store up? Or a fitting end?”
“We’ll discuss that tomorrow,” she said.
When we arrived at home, we went straight up to my room and got right into bed. My sixth orgasm, around 4:15am, was in Karin’s soft, loving mouth, while I licked her to the last of her orgasms, of which I’d lost count at twenty. I barely had enough energy to turn around and pull Karin into a sweaty, sticky, cuddle as we both fell asleep from exhaustion, not waking until 11:00am.
“We stink!” Karin giggled when I kissed her.
“I’m going to open two windows to air the room out. We’ll need to change the sheets, too. It’s a good thing I bought that waterproof mattress cover because otherwise the mattress would be history!”
We got out of bed and I opened the windows while Karin stripped the sheets from the bed and dropped them in a pile on the floor. We went to the shower and spent fifteen minutes under the hot spray, washing each other and then just enjoying the warmth of the water and holding each other. I had a suspicion as to what Karin was going to say, but I wasn’t sure. I still felt that any situation that involved other girls was a bridge too far for her.
December 5, 2000, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota “I had a good time last night,” I said. “I was surprised you invited a friend!” Mary laughed as we walked into the exam room, “Naomi had a good time as well. You know what a Resident’s life is like.” I nodded, “No social life.” “Exactly. You guys seemed to hit it off pretty well.” “Yes, but I’m not here for that!” “You’re everywhere for that, and you know it!” I couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s just say that you hit the sweet spot -...
Duty. That's what they told me it was. Duty to my family. Duty to my clan. Duty to the business. It didn't matter that that wasn't what I wanted. It was what I had to do. After all, it was only five years of my life. That is all they would ask of me. Just five years and, hopefully, a child or two. An arranged marriage seemed so outdated and somehow wrong, but, deep down inside, I knew it wasn't, not really. It was my chance to do something for the family, after all the years I avoided it. I...

FantasyMay 15, 1992, Glencoe, Illinois “Join me in my study, if you would,” Noel Spurgeon said when we finished our dessert. It had been an interesting evening. Samantha and I had talked for a bit before we’d been summoned to dinner. The meal had been prepared by a chef and was served by a white-coated young man. Again, this was a far cry from Lois at the van Hoeks’ house. What wasn’t a far cry was the fact that I was having dinner with a man who knew I was going to be sleeping with his daughter...
THE PROPOSITION My divorce was painful. My wife Sharon had finally had all she could take of my constant begging to let me have more free space to engage in my chronic desire to cross dress. Even as far back as childhood I was always interested in hair and makeup. I would cut out pictures from magazines and add them to my special secret collection. It was easy to hide it from my parents among all my books and magazines about science and art. I easily made it through technical college...
The wind blew in off the lake, clean and crisp, a gentle breeze cutting through the coming heat of the day. I had forgotten that the summer could be anything other than a wet blanket of humid air wrapped stiflingly around your head. When I left Washington, it was already hot and muggy. There should be a law against temperatures above 80 before breakfast. Landing in Toronto was like landing on a different planet, one where the temperature was not only considerably cooler but where the humidity...
6 months earlier. Dominique and Alex's paths crossed in march of 2009 at the Paramount hotel near times square, NYC. Alex was what you might call "ultra-wealthy." His first job out of Princeton was as a highly paid technology researcher at Goldman Sachs. He was a brilliant investor who became exorbitantly rich during the Internet bubble of the late 90s and then compounded his riches following the lead of his Goldman buddies betting against the financial sector during the stock market...
October 1981, Chicago, Illinois I arrived back at the apartment just before 10:00pm and saw the address for the party. I decided I wasn’t particularly interested in going so I put on some music, poured myself a glass of wine, and started reading more about Russia. I was alternating between the history and culture book and the Communist Party book, decided on the history and culture book for this time. I didn’t get much reading done because I was thinking about Tatyana, which led me to...
Introduction: A sizzling hot proposition from my naughty fuck buddy Nedra and I are both 55 and were fuck buddies. Or, as she refers to our relationship: non-exclusive fuck buddies. I sometimes quiz her as to why she insists on refering to our relationship as non-exclusive fuck buddies. She usually replies, in baby talk, with something like, So it would be allowed for me to have someone get those hard to reach places, silly boy. Once, however, in the throes of pillow talk, with her eyes glazed...
Making the Deal I have been rather successful in life thus far. Shortly after graduating from high school, I had started an internet dating site as a hobby. For some reason that little hobby turned into a very lucrative business. Though I struggled to make ends meet the first year my site was in business, it took off like a rocket after that. Over the next few years, my hobby provided me with a very comfortable living. About five years ago, a major internet player made me an...
June 23, 1994, Oguni, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan My first week in Japan flew by, and a routine developed. Sakurako would wake me; I’d exercise and run, then shower and have breakfast, and share tea with Sakurako. After breakfast, I’d meditate, and then have my training session. After lunch, I’d work in the garden, or, as I had this day, wash the floors in the house. Hiroshi would accompany me back to the cottage and we’d talk while I washed up and dressed for dinner. After dinner, I’d spend...
Higa emerged from the woods at the edge of the campsite, a freshly killed doe hanging limply across her broad shoulder. She set the carcass down beside the tanning rack, then planted her massive cudgel in the ground, leaning on it as she wiped the sweat from her brow. “That’s three today,” she announced, looking over to where Satou was preparing a stew beside the fire pit. “I swear, they’re so loud and careless when they’re horny.” “Just like you,” Satou replied. She marched over to him and...
She returned home from the party on Monday. She was very confused, so she called Kim to come over. “Are you all right?” “Yes, I am.” “He sold me to some black brothers for the next weekend. They loved to fuck me, the younger brother had a big cock, 10 inches long and 3 1/2 inches thick. He loved to fuck my pussy and ass but I could not take it to suck it. Then he called one of his slaves and brought her and fucked her. She did a deep throat on him and I loved to watch it. He made a...
Canada is a progressive and liberal country. Toronto is its largest city and an incredible place to find state-of-the-art hybrid sexual beauty. Let's talk tits, for example. Young girls with cunts get new and enhanced tits every day. Now it's wonderful to see young girls with cocks get the same high-tech sensual vision. First let me tell you that the old phrase, "the best of both worlds," is much too trite to describe the modern TS from TO. These women ARE women. That they have pretty cocks...
She MalesJune 15, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “That’s everything, I think,” I said. “My luggage is in the trunk of the car, I have my passport, tickets, and money, both dollars and yen. I can’t think of anything else.” “I’ll see you in five weeks,” Elyse said, giving me a quick hug. “Did you see they rioted in Vancouver last night because they lost the Stanley Cup?” I chuckled, “Only Canadians would riot when they LOSE the Cup! I did see that on the front page of the Trib. Are we ready?” “Michelle and...
Once, however, in the throes of pillow talk, with her eyes glazed over, she actually said, "There is someone who knows what I'd do to be stuffed more than full with cock." Somehow, I just knew better than to probe too agressively on that topic. Hey, I'm a guy who certainly has no allusions of ever being in the record book in the size department. That's based on what I'm seeing on this site. Any guy would consider Nedra a babe. She has a very pretty, sun bronzed face and a perfect...
May 26, 1991, Iron Mountain, Michigan “Shall we see if we can find a farm?” I asked at breakfast on Sunday morning. “That sounds like a great idea,” Jessica said. “There’s a visitor’s bureau in town,” Kara said. “I saw it when we were here the first time.” “I’m sorry I ruined that vacation,” Jessica said. “Ruined?” I protested. “Are you kidding? Getting you back was way more important than a few days of vacation!” “I agree,” Kara added. “Jess, you know exactly how bad off Steve was...
January, 1985, Chicago, Illinois I arrived back in Hyde Park about ten minutes before the end of the Super Bowl. It didn’t look like it had been much of a contest, given that the score was 38-16, with San Francisco trouncing Miami. I grabbed a Coke and some chips and sat down on the couch next to Julia and Dave. In the room, besides my housemates, were Jamie, Kenneth, Kurt, Kathy, Jorge, George, Charlie, Bert, and Wen. “Julia, I got approval from both guys in Cincinnati,” I said. She...
Late on Saturday afternoon Dave shifted into his job as one of the bartenders for the Circle. Just as he was ready for a first customer, Emma came racing up to the bar. She was alone and only wearing a monokini, unlike a few hours earlier when her parents and younger sister had visited and she was dressed conservatively. She extended her body over the bar and kissed Dave. “Thank you for being so nice to my parents and sister.” “Of course. They’re nice people. I take it they don’t know a...
July 22, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “Albert, do you have everything packed?” Mom asked. “Yes, Mom!” I replied, rolling my eyes because she’d asked before I went to bed. “He’ll be fine, Babe,” Dad said. “Let’s walk to the hospital.” I usually didn’t get up early, but Dad had suggested it would help Mom if I walked to the hospital with her because I was leaving to see Jane for three weeks. Mom, Dad, Aunt Kara and I left the house and headed down the sidewalk towards the hospital where Mom and...
August 1981, Chicago, Illinois On Sunday morning, I made my usual call to Karin. I described everything in the apartment and all the things I’d done during the week, including the reception. Both of us would start school in a week and we were both looking forward to it. When we finished talking, I went out for my run, showered, and ate breakfast. I made some tea, started a load of laundry, and then turned on the stereo. I put on an REO Speedwagon album and then relaxed on the couch with the...
The basis of this story has evolved from a shock encounter with my mother in law last week, the first part is the build up to her surprise proposition and the second part is my subsequent fantasy that i as yet haven't acted upon, Though it is fair to say i am very tempted!Last Thursday my mother in law June asked me to fit her new kitchen sink for her rather than fork out the expense of a plumber, now it would be fair to say that over the 6 years me and her daughter have been together, june has...
August 21, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “Unbelievable,” I said when I read the headline from the Chicago Tribune. “It says here that Solidarity activist Tadeusz Mazowiecki was nominated to be Prime Minister of Poland.” I hadn’t had a chance to read the paper on Sunday because it hadn’t been delivered before we left for the race track in Michigan. “So now what?” Kara asked. “We’re in totally uncharted territory. Your guess is as good as anyone’s right about now.” “Steve, do you have a minute?”...
June 1977 When I got home, I grabbed a Coke and some chips and went right to my room. I didn’t think I could deal with my parents or Jeff or Stephanie. I just needed to be by myself. That wouldn’t seem odd to anyone, because I often went to my room to read. In addition, I now had the TV I’d received for my birthday. I flipped it on to WXIX Channel 19 and reruns of Gilligan’s Island and Green Acres played in the background while I read. I had to get my mind clear for the final exams that...
July, 1982, Milford, Ohio I woke up early on Friday morning to make breakfast for Kara and her mom before she went to work. Mrs. Blanchard was surprised, but very pleased. After her mom left for work, Kara gave me a fierce kiss. “Thanks for staying in and cooking breakfast for us,” Kara said. “I hope that doesn’t cause you trouble with Stephanie, with you breaking your normal routine.” “Don’t worry about it,” I said, kissing her back. “We got in a bit later than I expected, and she’ll...
July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois I woke up early on the First of July, because my body clock was still set to Swedish time. The flight back had been long but uneventful, and I was happy that the businessman in the seat next to me hadn’t wanted to talk. I read, wrote some longhand journal entries, ate, and generally relaxed while the plane zipped over the Atlantic. I’d come home, taken a sauna, eaten a light meal, and gone straight to bed, not bothering to check messages, look at the mail that...
July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois After Rosie left, I stripped the sheets from my bed, as well as the cover of the duvet, and tossed everything into the washing machine. I lit a lavender candle in the room, and then swept and dusted. I did a quick spot-check of the rest of the house and noticed that the tub in the sauna needed to be cleaned. I scrubbed it, then mopped the sauna floor with a damp sponge mop. I finished cleaning the sauna about the time the washing machine finished, so I moved...
August, 1984, Chicago, Illinois The rest of the week proceeded as expected - class on Wednesday, as well as the usual visit from Penny, work on Thursday, and class on Friday. Kara and I had lunch together at IIT, Sofia practiced her driving and parking, and I hung out with Mark Agnini after class for beers. Staci and I got into a couple of interesting debates about the Old Testament that Mark had to break up to allow others in the class to participate. She was very much of the ‘directly...

March 25, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “What time do I need to have you home?” “8:00pm will be fine,” Misty replied. “My parents are in Normal visiting my brother at Illinois State. They aren’t supposed to be home before 10:00pm.” Misty and I were in my car on the way to the NIKA apartment which, fortunately, was not being used. With our expansion, it was in more or less regular use, and that meant I didn’t have access to it as often as I would have liked. I was glad there had been a delay in...
I My name is Teddy Carlson. I’m twenty-two years old and I fucked my stepmother. Not just once in some momentary lapse of judgement. But again and again…and again. Before you judge me, there’s a few things you need to understand. First, Dad and I never exactly got on like a house on fire. He was the CIO of a large hedge fund which meant that he wasn’t around much. He travelled to Europe regularly and commuted during the week to Manhattan for meetings. When he was home, he was either...

June 1977 Friday ended up being a non-event. The more I thought about it, the more I was sure that there was no way on this earth I could say what happened between Birgit and me was a sin. Calling it a sin would debase it into a meaningless act. I could never do that. And the more I thought about Jennie McGrath, the more sure I was that I couldn’t call what she did for me a sin, either. If the church was right, I was going to hell. And frankly, there was no way that could be true. So I...
January 17, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “What time do you have to leave this morning?” Kara asked as we showered together on Tuesday morning. “About 8:30am,” I said. “I’m driving over to get Jeri, then heading to O’Hare. We have an 11:00am flight. Assuming all goes well, we’ll be in the office by 3:00pm Pacific time. We’ll spend a couple hours going over the software then go to dinner. The demo is tomorrow. Our flight back on Thursday leaves LA at 11:00am, so we’ll be home by 8:00pm, I...
May 14, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “Start talking!” Melanie demanded when I sat down in her office about an hour later. “There isn’t much to say. Katya found the information for me when I asked her to look into several things about Brandon Littleton, Kevin Lomax, and John Milton.” “Do you know more about him?” “A LOT more. I don’t think you want to know.” “Probably not, but I’m your criminal defense attorney, and even though San Antonio doesn’t have you involved in this, you know the CPD...
“So, how should we do these Stone’s songs?” Phil asked at our rehearsal session. “I think we all know the music, we just need to come up with a pretty awesome arrangement; we don’t want to sound like yet another cheap cover band.” “I had some ideas, if it’s okay for me to make some suggestions,” Allison said. “Of course it is,” Phil said. “Everyone can have a say, there’s no rule that says you can’t participate in the discussion.” “Thanks, Phil, I guess being the newest here, I’m a bit...
May 11, 1992, Chicago, Illinois Monday was turning out to be a LONG day. After my run and talk with Gina, and my talk with Elyse, I had a full day at the office scheduled. First was our leadership meeting in the morning, and then I had status meetings with each team. At lunch I’d gone to see Siobhán and explained that I was going to break off the sexual relationship, but that I wanted to remain friends. She was disappointed, but admitted that Thursday would have been the last time, since she...
January 19, 1989, En-Route from LAX to ORD When the engines of the plane started, Jeri reached over and took my hand. She held it while we pushed away from the gate, and taxied for takeoff. Her grip tightened a bit as we hurtled down the runway, but nothing like the death grip she’d had on my arm for the flight out. The plane roared its way into the air and once we leveled out, Jeri’s grip loosened but she didn’t let go of my hand. “How are you doing?” I asked with a touch of...
It was six-thirty when I finally got home from work on Friday night. Walking through the kitchen into the living room, I saw Danielle’s two children, Elizabeth and Steven (or Lizy and Steve as I called them), sitting in front of the television, watching an Indiana Jones video. ?Is your mom upstairs?? I asked. Lizy nodded her head and said: ?She’s getting ready for her trip.? ?Her trip?? I said, wondering if I’d heard correctly. ?Mom said that she had to fly to California this weekend for...
I My name is Teddy Carlson. I’m twenty-two years old and I fucked my stepmother. Not just once in some momentary lapse of judgement. But again and again…and again. Before you judge me, there’s a few things you need to understand. First, Dad and I never exactly got on like a house on fire. He was the CIO of a large hedge fund which meant that he wasn’t around much. He travelled to Europe regularly and commuted during the week to Manhattan for meetings. When he was home, he was either...

October 1981, Chicago, Illinois I went to my room, closed the door and dialed my old number in Milford and Stephanie answered. “Hi, Stephanie!” “Hey, Big Bro! How’s Chicago?” “Pretty good. A lot of stuff is happening. But I have a favor to ask. Well, really, it’s a favor from Ed. I’m coming home this weekend and I was wondering if I could borrow the keys to the apartment.” “You and Kara? On Saturday? I’m sure the answer is yes. Where are you staying?” “I was going to call Mrs. Spencer...
September 1982, Chicago, Illinois The weekend was quiet and besides homework, I worked on the program changes for Frank, called Karin, Tatyana, and Kara, and hung out with my usual study group. Monday was refreshingly normal. On Tuesday morning, I handed Katy my completed intake form. She put it in an envelope and stuck it in her bag. She said she’d let me know soon about the interview. On Tuesday afternoon, after having lunch with Stephie, I made my rounds and then I headed over to Sigma...
October 1982, Chicago, Illinois The drive back to Chicago was as uneventful as usual, and I arrived at the apartment just before 6:00pm. When I arrived, Elyse and Stephie were sitting on the couch and Jackie was sitting on the loveseat. Stephie hopped up as I opened the door and greeted me with a hug and a kiss. “Hi, Peaches!” I said. “Glad you’re home, Yankee!” “Hi, Steve,” Elyse and Jackie both said. “Hey,” I replied. “How was the weekend?” “Well, it was just Kurt with me, Stephie,...
September 4, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “These are really interesting pieces,” I said to Siobhán. Kimmy, Elyse, and I were reviewing the two completed pieces that she’d done as examples of what the series would look like. “You don’t like them?” Siobhán asked pensively. “No, I do! Why would you think I didn’t?” “Usually when someone says ‘interesting’ about abstract art it means they don’t like it.” “Sorry, in this case I meant it. Maybe ‘intriguing’ would have been a better word.” She...
June 29, 1995, Chicago, Illinois On Thursday, I finally had lunch with Melissa again, something I hadn’t been looking forward to. Much like with Cèlia, Melissa and I had passed an inflection point and I was left with sub-optimal paths forward. I’d been struggling with the possible solutions, and all of them had pitfalls. When I walked into Takumi, I had something of a plan. Whether it was good or not would only be known once everything played out. “I spoke to my wives,” I said after we’d...
June 11, 1989, Chicago, Illinois It was just after 3:00am when I kissed Trish goodbye. She’d been an enthusiastic, energetic, and adventurous lover. We’d done just about anything either of us could think of, though her breasts weren’t large enough for a tit-fuck. The last time had been in the shower where we’d ostensibly gone to clean up afterwards, but instead I ended up taking her from behind as she leaned against the wall of the shower. “I think I’ll have you again, Steve Adams,” she...
May 1978 The first couple of weeks in May were busy with school, work, and friends. Except for Becky, I didn’t even have any dates. But I was OK with that. Well, almost OK. I wanted to see Anna, but it likely wasn’t going to happen until school was out. I had tutoring sessions with Melanie, but she still wouldn’t talk to me about anything other than Spanish. Barely a hello. I was grateful for the tutoring, but it was maddening seeing my friend this way. I hoped someday she could understand...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio As I drove along I-65, I thought about what Stephanie had asked for and what Bethany had said without even knowing about the request. Of course, because Bethany and I were so in tune, she might have actually had an idea that I was struggling with getting involved with my sister again. I kept turning it over and over in my mind and I kept coming to the same conclusion — that I shouldn’t do it. I was torn between doing what Stephanie wanted and doing what Kara and...
September 7, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “That went reasonably well,” Michelle said when her parents drove off. “There were a few times I thought my expression would give away something I shouldn’t. You were messing with me, weren’t you?” She grabbed both my hands and smiled, “I was telling the truth, in my own way. Thank you!” She leaned forward and kissed my cheek. “So, what’s left?” I asked. “To visit UofC tomorrow and formally withdraw from classes. To spend some time with you and your...
August 15, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “Whoa!” Cynthia declared, as she turned the pages in The New Joy of Sex. “All these positions! I want to try them!” She was paging through the section of the book which had lots of illustrations. “Wait!” she gasped, as she turned the page. “Bondage? Whoa! He has her tied to the bed!” “That might be fun,” I grinned. “And then I can tie YOU to the bed?” she asked with a silly smirk. “I suppose turn-about is fair play.” “And threesomes?” “That might not...
June 23, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “Steve,” Kimmy said over the intercom, “I have a Suzanne Aavik for you.” “Thanks,” I replied. “Put her through, please.” A few seconds later, Suzanne was on the line. “Hi!” she exclaimed when I greeted her. “I’m in Chicago for three weeks. Can I still run away and join the circus?” I chuckled, “You might want to find out what the circus is actually like before you join! If you’re free, you’re welcome to come to the house tomorrow or Sunday and meet the...
January 23, 1996, Chicago, Illinois “Father, bless!” I said, greeting Father Basil with upturned palms. “Bless you, Stephen,” he said as I kissed his hand. The waiter showed us to a quiet table along the wall of Roditys in Greektown. He took our drink orders and was back quickly. We placed our food orders right away and he left to put them in with the kitchen. “I’m not quite sure how to address this, so I’m just going to ask you bluntly. Are you the father of Michelle’s baby?” I shook my...
A few days later at Dori and Ty’s house, Dave got tapped on the shoulder. He turned around, “Are you still avoiding me?” Rachel asked in a pleasant tone. Dave counted back the weeks on two hands right in front of her. “Hmmmm. It’s been twelve weeks. You tell me how you’re feeling and let me think about it.” Rachel crossed her arms and then looked peeved, “I’m feeling a bit like a pariah with you, and that makes me sad. I still love you, but I think you accomplished what you set out to do,...
March 1980, Hovås/Göteborg, Sweden I woke early as usual, but just enjoyed being in bed with Katt. When she woke, she hopped out of bed and pulled a robe out of her closet and handed it to me. “There’s a spare toothbrush in the bathroom. Go have your shower, then we’ll have breakfast after I have my shower.” I quickly showered and brushed my teeth, and went back to Katt’s room. She went to shower and came back a few minutes later. She dressed, and I got a very good look at her sexy body...
April 5, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “You missed cuddles this morning!” Birgit said accusingly when I walked into the house about 9:30am. “I know, Pumpkin, but I had a work emergency and had to go see Aunt Joyce and Grandpa A.” “And now we have to get ready for karate!” “I know. We’ll have some family time this afternoon. I don’t have any plans.” “Good!” I hugged her and the rest of the kids, then went to find Kara. We hugged and kissed, and went straight upstairs to get ready for...
September 3, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “Good morning, Sensei,” I said, bowing to Sensei Jim. “Good morning!” he said waving me to a chair in his office. “How was your trip?” I asked. “Enlightening. I spent most of my time acting as a manservant to Sensei Robert and Sensei Hiro.” “He who will lead, must first serve,” I said. “Someday, I’m going to send you to Sensei Hiro, should he live long enough. You understand.” “Does that mean you are now 6th Dan?” I...
