“I’m still married,” I replied. “But I won’t say ‘no’.”
“If there were anything more obvious in the universe than that, I’m not sure what it might be!”
“I’m not quite sure how to take that,” I replied.
“How I meant it!”
I chuckled, “Sadly, I’m not a mind reader. That said, I do recall that three years ago when I said ‘I hate fucking lawyers’ you corrected me by saying I would like it a lot, AND you said you would like it, too. You also said married guys were a problem, but you qualified that by saying I wasn’t a normal married guy. You also told me I was ‘good looking, in great shape, have the most amazing eyes’ and that you had a strong suspicion I knew my way around female anatomy.”
“You remember all that?”
“It’s in my journals. I read the relevant parts this afternoon.”
“With the evidence you have, what’s your conclusion?”
“That we should turn around, go back to the hotel, and prove to each other what we both suspect to be true.”
“And what’s that?”
“That we’ll have some of the best sex either of us has had in a long, long time.”
“You have a very high opinion of yourself!”
“And would you go to bed with someone who doubted themselves or thought they were lousy in bed?”
“No!” Magda laughed. “But I suspect YOU would, because you would take it as a challenge and show them just how wrong they were!”
“It’s been known to happen,” I replied.
“I do think you’re overestimating things.”
“How so?”
“I’ve had some damned good sex recently and I am positive you have as well,” Magda declared.
“You don’t want me to tell you that it was the best ever?”
“Not if it’s a lie. Do you want me to lie to you?”
“Of course not.”
“So if it’s not up to par, and I tell you, it won’t hurt your ego?”
“Only if you don’t tell me what I did poorly and give me a chance to rectify my failings!” I said lightly.
“And would you be upset if I told you I was just messing with you?”
I shook my head, “No, because I had no expectations other than having a few drinks and catching up with a friend. And I’m pretty sure those were your expectations as well, given how we left things last time.”
“Even with what I said about you?” Magda asked.
“Just because we want to do something and can do it, doesn’t mean we should do it.”
“I have a few clients who need to hear that from someone besides me! Acting on every random thought which enters your head tends to get you in trouble time and time again. And doing everything you want without considering the ramifications is another sure way to get into trouble.”
“I wholeheartedly agree. You did miss out on something by deciding not to do it three years ago.”
“Besides doing it? What?”
“You could have been my first,” I replied. “Lawyer, that is.”
“Seriously? You’d never slept with a lawyer?”
“I told you I hated fucking lawyers,” I grinned. “But that was only theoretical. I discovered there was at least one lawyer I liked fucking. So now I think your statement was probably correct, that I WOULD like fucking the gorgeous blonde lawyer with the smoking hot body who is walking next to me.”
“Then I’ll give you a choice. We can spend the next couple of hours drinking in the pub, or we can go back to the hotel and spend the next couple of hours fucking.”
“You’re indifferent as to which?” I asked.
“I didn’t say that. I said you had a choice.”
“Have you had a recent STD test?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’d like you to be my second lawyer!” I said.
I took her hand and we turned around and headed back to the Mayfair InterContinental.
July 24, 1997, London, England
I woke on Thursday morning spooned with Magda, my hand cupping her firm, full breast, and her blonde hair tickling my cheek. Unlike my time with Sari, which had been gentle and sweet lovemaking, Magda and I had simply fucked each other silly until we collapsed in a sweaty, satisfied heap about 3:00am. I couldn’t think of a position we hadn’t tried, nor were there any unexplored areas of either of our bodies.
She stirred a few minutes later, just in advance of the alarm ringing.
“«Fy Fan! Jag vill inte gå ut ur sängen!»” she groused. (“Damn it! I don’t want to get out of bed!”)
“I offered to go to sleep after what I think it was the third time, about midnight!” I teased.
“You also had your tongue in my pussy at the time!”
“I did not!” I protested. “I took it out to tell you we could go to sleep!”
“Right! A guy is going down on me, one who knows female anatomy really well, and I’m going to say ‘oh sure, stop doing that, I want to sleep’? I don’t think so!”
“Get out of bed, we’ll shower, have breakfast, and after you go to the office, I’ll run.”
“Lunch and dinner today?”
“Sure.”
“And another night like last night?”
“Only a fool would say ‘no’ to that!”
“Karin might say you were.”
“With good cause, too. How much do you know about us?”
“Not much, really. She’s told me only the barest details. I probably know more about you and her sister than I do about you and Karin.”
“I can’t violate her privacy, but tell her I told you it’s OK for her to share anything she feels appropriate. If she wants to call to check, that’s OK.”
We got out of bed, showered individually, dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.
“What will you do today? I mean besides run?” Magda asked in Swedish after we got our food from the buffet.
“After lunch I’m going to do some shopping,” I replied, continuing the conversation in her native tongue. “The kids always appreciate when I bring them small mementos from my travels.”
“Would you be OK with room service?” she asked. “That gives us more time.”
“It does. And I like your thinking! Do you have to go to the office in the morning?”
“Yes. What time is your flight?”
“11:00am. Yours?”
“4:00pm.”
“How is your case going? I never had the chance to ask last night.”
“It’s actually not in court; we’re trying to avoid that. I think we’ll have a signed agreement today. It’s just a matter of ensuring the agreement will be OK with both governments so there aren’t any issues with the child going back and forth between the UK and Sweden, and figuring out who pays for what, and so on.”
“You seem to run into lots of Swedish girls who sleep with foreign guys,” I grinned.
“Oh stop! I am NOT having your baby!”
“That would be a biological impossibility, so unless the Archangel Gabriel had a chat with you while I was in the shower, I wouldn’t worry too much, Mary.”
Magda laughed softly, “And last night we practiced her trade!”
I shook my head, “No. That’s a common misunderstanding which resulted in conflating other characters from the Gospels with Mary Magdalene. She was, most likely, a relatively wealthy woman who supported Jesus’ ministry, but she was absolutely not the ‘sinful woman’. The misunderstanding is a result of Roman Catholic error, which can be seen in the fact that the Orthodox churches never made the association of sexual sin with the Magdalene. The Roman Catholic Church eventually fixed that error, but the popular belief is still there.”
“I’ve been to church for my own baptism, my confirmation, three weddings and two funerals.”
“So in other words, a typical Swedish Lutheran,” I replied.
“Pretty much. I know the popularized stories, which means I probably have more bad information than good, if you will.”
“What about the Norse gods?” I asked.
Magda laughed, “You still have your fetish for Loki?”
“Karin must have told you that one!”
“She did. She finds it amusing.”
“I’m sure she does! I swore off traveling after my trip to Russia, but I think I’m going to have to get back to Sweden. I haven’t seen my friends there in quite some time. I miss seeing Karin, Katt, Tina, Pia, and their families.”
“Not because of a certain lawyer from Luleå?” she asked.
“I was very happy to run into you again, and I don’t mean just because of last night. We became friends in those few days we spent together three years ago. Rekindling the friendship is a good thing. Fate has been dealing me a much better hand lately.”
“The kindling worked! It was pretty warm last night!”
“It was,” I agreed.
“Is there anything you won’t do?” she asked.
“I’m completely straight, and don’t like heavy bondage or serious pain, and I have zero interest in ‘water sports’ but otherwise? What do YOU think?”
Magda laughed softly, “When you let me play with you with my vibrator, it was pretty clear! Only one other guy has dared let me do that.”
“What happened to the other guy?”
“My second lover. And the one who bought me the vibrator. I had just turned seventeen, and he was twenty-five.”
“May I ask about your first?”
“My next-door neighbor. We’d grown up together and were really close. We decided that we’d celebrate my fifteenth birthday by giving each other our virginities. For the next six months we screwed like bunnies, but something was off. I could never quite figure out what it was, and one day he said he thought we should stop having sex. To this day, I still don’t know why. I wasn’t in love with him, so it wasn’t devastating. What hurt more was losing my friend, because once we stopped having sex, we drifted apart.”
“Perhaps he was in love with you,” I said quietly.
“I thought that might have been the case, but why not tell me? Even at fifteen I wasn’t a silly romantic. I liked him, a lot, and who knows where things might have gone.”
“Maybe he was afraid? He was fifteen after all.”
“Sixteen; but possibly. Anyway, I was confused, so I basically swore off sex for a time. I dated, but never let anyone do more than kiss me. Then I met Anders and we were literally in bed a few minutes after we met. The sex was glorious and I let him lead. I guess the phrase would be he ‘took me on a sexual odyssey’. For two years, we did everything, more or less within the limits you gave. And then it kind of flamed out because it was ONLY sex. Since then, I’ve had a number of short-term lovers, and a few long-term ones.”
“Kids?”
“I can take or leave the idea,” Magda said. “And Karin’s advice is that if that was my attitude, I probably shouldn’t. I love my freedom, I love being able to do what I want when I want with whom I want. Even with all the state support, having a child is still an obligation I’m not sure I want to take on.”
“I think I have to agree with Karin on that one.”
“My turn to ask - when was your first?”
“When I was fourteen, She was a twenty-three-year-old widow.”
“Every teenage boy’s wet dream! Birgit Andersson was after her?”
“Yes. And just once before she went home to Sweden. I never saw her again after that.”
“Then, may I ask about when you got adventurous?”
I chuckled, “Everything we did last night, with the exception of the vibrator, I did when I was fourteen. The vibrator thing was when I was sixteen.”
“You had anal sex at fourteen?”
I nodded, “Yes. And two, three, and four girls at a time.”
“«Herre gud!»” she declared, shaking her head. “Your first?” (“Jesus Christ!”)
“No, it was pretty simple and sweet with her, just oral sex and intercourse. And it lasted less than two months because she knew we could never have a relationship. The craziness started when I took up with a future lawyer! But we broke up long before college, let alone her passing the Bar!”
“When did you decide you weren’t going to live a conventional life?”
“When I was fourteen,” I replied. “But I did try, on a few occasions, to conform to social norms. Those attempts generally ended in some sort of chaos or even disaster. Believe it or not, my life is calmer, and much more well-ordered when I’m what society would call ‘promiscuous’.”
“A major failing of America,” Magda said. “Everyone is so hung up on what other people do in the bedroom. Why should it matter who I have sex with? That’s my business, not theirs. Swedes, for the most part, can’t be bothered to worry about things like that.”
“You and I are on the same page on that. My kids are being raised with ideas which are much closer to Swedish ones than American ones. I have a sauna in my house and we, and our closest friends, use it Swedish style, including with our kids.”
“You certainly have a much healthier view on sex than the Americans I meet through work. Do you know what pisses me off the most?”
“That they think because you’re sexually liberated, you’re easy, and you’ll sleep with anyone.”
“I slept with YOU, didn’t I?” she teased.
“There’s no accounting for taste,” I chuckled. “Maybe it was a weak moment!”
“Maybe! But yes, you’re right. There was an attorney from New York with whom I was working to help an American man move to Sweden to get married. The attorney simply assumed that because I was a blonde Swede, that meant I’d go to bed with him. I’ve only ever had to slap one man in my entire life, and it was him.”
“A front snap kick to the groin would have been more appropriate.”
“I agree, but the circumstances would have made that difficult.”
“Did you file a complaint?”
She smiled, “I told his wife.”
“Ouch! How did you meet her?”
“She was with him on the trip!”
“Moron,” I said, shaking my head.
“I’m curious, do you have to report in, or do you get to keep your affairs secret?”
“I tell my wives who I’ve been with. It’s a small check that keeps me honest and ensures I pay attention to the rules.”
“Mind if I ask?”
“Nobody they work with, nobody I work with, nobody at the dojo. There CAN be exceptions, but they are rare, and have to be carefully considered.”
“Can they tell you who not to be with?”
I nodded, “Yes, but generally speaking, the ones they wouldn’t want me to be with I wouldn’t want to be with for my own reasons.”
“Do they have the same freedom?”
“Yes, but they elect not to use it.”
“Ever?”
“So far. Each of them has their own reasons, but it’s not because I’d be upset about it.”
“I can’t imagine you being that big of a hypocrite, given what I know about you and what you’ve said about how you’re raising your kids.”
“People have been known to act contrary to their own beliefs.”
“Obviously, and I see that all the time in family and immigration law. I just don’t get that vibe from you. You seem to be pretty much an open book.”
“I try.”
We finished our breakfast, Magda went to work and I ran and practiced my kata, drawing an audience, as the park was more crowded than when I ran at an earlier point in the day as I had previously. I did a few extra kata beyond my normal routine to give them something more to see, and when I finished, they applauded. I thanked them and headed back to the hotel for a shower.
Magda and I met for lunch as planned, and then I went to do my shopping. Finding the right things for each of the kids was always an interesting challenge, but some things were easy. For Matthew, a CD of the Original London Cast recording of Les Misérables. For Stephie, the only possible choice was a stuffed animal I found - a bunny wearing a ‘Beefeater’ hat. The rest were trickier, but by the end of the afternoon, I’d found something for each of the kids, my wives, and Maria Cristina. I’d repeat the exercise in Moscow or Saint Petersburg, filling the empty space I’d kept in my luggage for the loot I wanted to bring home.
On the way back to the hotel, I stopped in a confectionary shop and bought some chocolates for Magdalena, something nearly every Swede I knew loved, and something I knew Magda would appreciate. I arrived back in Mayfair just before 5:00pm, and had just finished packing my purchases when Magda arrived. We had a wonderful evening in the room with dinner, sex, and lots of talking.
July 25, 1997, Moscow, Russia
When I walked off the plane at «Международный аэропорт Шереметьево», I was greeted by a young man in an expensive, Italian-cut suit. (“Sheremetyevo International Airport”)
“Mr. Adams? I’m Lev Kerensky, from the Foreign Ministry.”
I nodded and we shook hands.
“Any relation?” I asked.
He smiled, “Ivan Konstantinovich said you would ask. My great-grandfather’s brother. Will you come this way, please?”
I followed him through two security doors to a private office where my passport was stamped, and my visa was verified.
“Just making sure it’s in order,” Lev said. “We don’t want any trouble from the local authorities or the hotel if something is amiss.”
“Thanks.”
“Your bags will be in the car. I’m to escort you to the hotel and ensure there are no issues. Dima Sergeyevich will meet you there. Your son arrived about three hours ago.”
“Did they get the same reception?” I asked.
“Yes, three people from the foreign ministry met them and they were cleared just as you were.”
We left the office, walked down a hallway, turned to walk down another long hallway, and then after going through two security doors, were on the pavement outside the airport where a Mercedes was waiting for us. We got in and the driver immediately pulled away, heading for the Moscow Hotel.
Just over an hour later, I had checked into my room, unpacked, and then gone to a banquet room where the team was just sitting down to dinner. I greeted Dima, then went to sit with Jesse.

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...
Violet Matheson – Tacoma, WA "Leah, Violet, and Desiree, scatter!" Master shouted. "They're after me, you might get away!" I looked one last time at Master, drinking in his form, then turned and ran as fast as I could from the wreckage. My heart thudded in terror. Behind me, gunfire erupted and I shrieked loudly. Please be okay, Master! Please! I pumped my legs as hard as I could, my lungs burning with exertion. I had never run so fast, so hard in my life. But I couldn't keep it up....
"Come in," I said to my fellow nun's, inviting them into my hotel room. Well, it wasn't actually my hotel room. Last night when I flew into SeaTac from Miami, Providence led me to an insurance adjuster named Curtis at the airport's baggage claim. We flirted while waiting for our luggage and he invited me up to his Hotel Room. When Providence gives you a place to stay, with a cute guy to boot, you don't say no. Right now, Curtis was attending the convention in the hotel and I didn't...
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...
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...
June 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...
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...
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.

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...

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...
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...

October 29, 2000, Chicago, Illinois Birgit followed me as far as the stairs, then scooted upstairs when I went to the front door and opened it. “Hi!” Sophie said. “Hi!” I replied and held the door open so she could come into the house. I closed the door behind her then led her to my study where I waited until she went in, and then walked in, closing the door behind me. I nodded to one of the wingback chairs, she sat down in one, and I sat down in the other. “Is something wrong?” she...
August, 1983, Chicago, Illinois I walked in the near 90°F heat to Carla’s place. I was grateful that the humidity of the morning had dropped significantly; otherwise the heat would have been unbearable. By the time I walked up the steps to the apartment over the photography studio and knocked on her door, I had broken into a light sweat. Carla answered almost immediately and invited me inside her studio apartment. The air was moderately cool, and the window air conditioner was running full...
February 16, 1997, Chicago, Illinois Our conversation during the Rap Session was about how to find ‘truth’ and both Elizabeth and I made a strong case for skepticism as the best approach to life. “But if you don’t believe anything is true, how can you decide what to do?” Brenna asked after a lengthy discussion about how to know what was true. “Remember what we said about listening carefully?” Elizabeth asked. “We operate as if the things we’ve come to believe actually are true, but always...
March 13, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “Hi, Steve!” Ailea said when she opened the door. “Hi,” I replied, accepting the offered hug. There was no touching of lips, just of cheeks, and I wondered if I’d misread her intentions at her birthday lunch, or if, perhaps, she detected my reluctance to return the offered affection. “Lunch is ready, so go ahead and sit. I’ll bring it in from the kitchen.” I went to the low table, sat down, and a minute later, Ailea brought miso soup and sushi, our usual...
April 3, 1997, Dallas, Texas “Remember what I said about drinking too much,” I said, as I poured bourbon into three cups. We’d stopped at a liquor store, bought a bottle of Blanton’s, and then returned to the small suite I’d reserved at the Westin. Deborah’s room was down the hall, and Krissy’s was two floors below. Krissy’s comment had caught me a bit off guard, but I hadn’t reacted visibly. I didn’t know her quite well enough to know if she’d been teasing with Deborah, so I was being...
March 28, 1991, Chicago, Illinois “This day belongs to you, Kara!” I said when the three of us woke on Thursday morning. “Happy birthday!” Jessica said. “Thanks,” Kara replied happily. “I think I’d like an amazing birthday fuck from our husband, and then a nice loving shower with my wife!” Kara said. “Do we have enough time?” I asked. Jessica giggled, “I set the alarm for thirty minutes earlier!” “Then let’s not waste any of it!” I said pulling Kara to me. Kara’s squeals as I plunged...
September 4, 2000, Chicago, Illinois On Monday morning I went to my study to make a surreptitious call to ensure that the surprise I’d planned for Kara was still going to happen, and after confirming that it was, Jesse, Matthew, Michael, and I began preparing for the Labor Day party by getting beer and soda into coolers, getting the grill ready, setting up tables and chairs in the backyard, and ensuring the liquor cabinets were stocked while my wives and daughters worked on food prep in the...
September 1, 1987, Chicago, Illinois “I heard that you have some kind of plan to help Ed,” I said to Connie. “There’s no plan,” she replied. “A witness who saw the shopkeeper alive after Ed left came forward.” That sounded convenient, and I wondered if the witness was real or someone that Anthony had put forward to solve the problem. Certainly, the videotape was real, because I couldn’t imagine how Anthony could have faked that, but the witness? Who knew? “So is he being released? Or is...
August 17, 1997, Chicago, Illinois We finished lunch and Marissa and the younger kids went to play, but Natalie sat with the adults to talk, with coffee, tea, or soft drinks. The Sarcus were very comfortable, but the Heaths were still struggling. But, vitally, they hadn’t left and hadn’t insisted Natalie leave the group. “Can you explain how you developed this attitude and approach?” Chris asked. I nodded, “It started when I was just a bit younger than Natalie. My mom was a total control...
July 1979 — Falkenberg, Sweden On Friday, when I got back from my run, Pam was in her bra and panties again. I whistled at her, she giggled, then finished dressing. I showered, and we went to breakfast and finished up our last day. Once class was done, we were pretty much free. On Saturday, we’d have several optional activities and then on Sunday we’d head back to our host families. After dinner on Friday, I took Pam’s hand and we walked towards the river. It was quiet and peaceful, and...
July 1980, Over the North Atlantic We reached cruising altitude, and I settled back to read my book. Pam raised the armrest between us, snuggled close to me and read as well. The cabin crew offered drinks, and I had my first Coke in a year! Meal service began about an hour and a half into the flight. After the cabin crew picked up the trays and offered drinks again, they passed once more, offering headsets for the movie. Trevor and Maria took them, but Pam and I didn’t, instead we turned on...
