My nightmare had me underwater and I could barely breathe. I struggled to get back up to the surface but got all confused between up and down. I reached up and felt what I thought was a huge rope around my neck and opened my eyes to Julie’s arm resting comfortably across my nose and mouth.
I carefully pushed it away from my face and turned over and immediately fell back into a deep sleep that was only broken by the sound of screeching brakes down on the street outside.
I saw that Julie was up and about a lot earlier than me and I scanned the little note she had placed on the refrigerator door telling me, “Went into the office to straighten out the mail and pay the bills. See you later, xxx Julie”
Thankfully, there was hot coffee still in the pot and I poured a cup before I strolled over to the large window that had three sides to it and hung out over the street in majestic splendor.
There was a uniformed cop directing traffic on the corner. That seemed strange to me because my street was one that hardly ever saw a uniformed policeman even walking a beat.
I leaned out next to the glass pane and saw a trio of cop cars parked right outside my building and felt a sudden churning in my stomach.
I had not the slightest doubt that they were there for me.
Outside my door, I heard a shuffling of heavy feet and then a pounding on the front door that was accompanied by a loud voice proclaiming,
“Michael Malone, we have a warrant for your arrest. Open the door and put your hands on top of your head!”
I knew there was no chance in escaping as the fire escape was not dependable for the weight of an adult man and only small children used them to visit their friends.
I had no choice but to quickly get dressed and follow the orders hoping there were no itchy trigger fingers on any of the arresting officers waiting outside. I left my gun in full view on top of the bedroom bureau and only carried my wallet with my identification inside.
The pricks outside even had a couple of photographers which I knew was totally against the department policy and they frisked me giving them a good shot of the arrest for the evening edition. It was a set-up from the get-go and there was not a thing I could do about it except to plot my revenge.
I was on the wrong end of the stick with the fingerprinting and the photo with my new New York City criminal serial number underneath. I was sure it would also find its way into the tabloids because the guys working that desk treated all the photos as their private property to be sold to the highest bidder There was not a familiar face in the area but that was understandable because it was an unwanted assignment for the newly graduated recruits and not in the least bit as romantic or exciting as patrolling and making arrests.
The good-looking female cop that set up the mugshot had her hands all over me and I could tell from the glint in her bedroom eyes that she really enjoyed her job.
Her shield said “O’ Reilly” followed by her badge number and I had no doubt that she was new on the job.
They put me in the cattle pen down in the basement and I put on my meanest look to keep anyone from getting too friendly. The crowded conditions got a lot better after they weeded out all the homeless bums and the drunks because they were in no position to house them overnight and they usually got rid of them before noontime.
The rest of us numbered about forty and I guess that was close to an average catch for one day in the Big Apple. Then, they separated us into Felonies and Misdemeanors putting me in the smaller group of about fifteen souls in the felony category.
I knew they would use bail and defense lawyers paid by the city to discard the misdemeanors as quickly as possible and the rest of us would be seeing the processing judge for pre-trial incarceration. The bullshit about having a phone call was all a bunch of crap and I surmised I would be heading either to the Tombs or to Ryker’s Island by mid-afternoon. Julie and Uncle Joe would not get an inkling of my arrest until the evening edition came out with my photo on with the caption “Dirty Ex-Cop”.
My assigned lawyer was a Jewish girl just out of law school with the unlikely name of Ruth Swartzman. She spent all of five minutes with me before the hearing and she told me the facts of life even though I was already aware of how the system works. She had a comb in her kinky hair like she had slept with it all night. The poor thing had a stack of files for all her cases and she couldn’t find mine before the hearing. I explained I was picked up on the “Dirty Cop” case and since there was Federal interest, I had no idea what the charges were because I was totally innocent.
All I saw in her interesting eyes was a sense of pity but she was overworked and underpaid.
I was just a number to be soon forgotten.
They put me in a paddy wagon with seven other miscreants and left us handcuffed to be bounced around all the way to the prison. It was obvious they were trying to hit every pot-hole in the city on the trip and I could hear them laughing up front as our bodies hit the walls and fell to the floor on the turns. I managed to hit my head on a metal bench and saw stars for the remainder of the journey.
When we arrived at the intake tunnel at the jail, I was still a bit woozy from the fall inside the van and the guards poked me with their thick nightsticks to get me to stand up straight.
It was easy to see my succulent secretary was fairly busting to break the news to me about the box-seats at the ball park. She gave a short spiel about how she got the info from a source she called “That darling boy at the team’s front office.” I got the distinct impression that no money changed hands in the procurement of the intelligence but her mood indicated she was running on all eight cylinders in the information gathering operation and probably rewarded him in a more personal...
I met my Uncle Joe over at the cop bar on Eighth Avenue that still used sawdust to keep the dirt down on the floor. The scent of the lunchtime menu overpowered the aroma of the beer and spirits that never left the place if you had a sensitive nose. The thing I liked best about the White Rose was their mid-day collection of hot food for the blue-collar workers in the neighborhood. Of course, most of the clientele washed it all down with liberal helpings of the draft beer that tasted like it...
Raymond stood there shaking the raindrops from his obviously borrowed or stolen woman’s umbrella and I could tell from his shifty eyes he was spinning his story with every word that crossed his lips. In all honesty, I didn’t really mind because I was used to Raymond by now and I hoped we could work together without one of us killing the other because underneath it all our dislike was a mirror image. I caught him ogling my secretary Julie’s ass when she bent over to fill my first cup of the...
I knew I should be working on running down the leads in Raymond’s unfortunate demise despite my Uncle’s reluctance to stir things up. It was like we had stepped on an ant-hill with all the Internal Affairs sleazebags poking their noses into the everyday happenings of operational policing. I had to admit it was well within the realm of probability that Raymond’s death was linked to the investigation work he was doing for me on the Donnie Anderson case. Of course that narrowed down the list...
The sky over Manhattan that Monday morning were grey and overcast with a fog that lingered in the long cold stripes called Avenues all the way from the East River to the mighty Hudson rushing brown and swollen out to the Atlantic Ocean. I figured it was not a good time for the news helicopters to be navigating the high-rises and it brought back my fear of the noisy, smelly things that spelled finis to a number of my compadres in the Marine Corps quick response team of which I was one of the...
I should have suspected there was something wrong right off the bat and that it was not a normal middle of the week morning that dreary Wednesday in the city that never sleeps. It was too late now because I was already down at police headquarters swigging down my second cup of overly strong java without benefit of cream or sugar because the spoons were far too dirty to even consider using what with the nasty Asian flu still going around like Montezuma’s revenge on a side trip to Tijuana for...
Rita admitted to me after a few drinks that she was working an assignment from Internal Affairs to weed out the dirty cops taking money from the shadowy cartels that kept the drugs flowing smoothly on the violent streets. I had sort of suspected as much from the way she was asking all the right questions and knew way too much for a rookie cop. Rita told me to be quiet because her room-mate was a light sleeper. I soon discovered it was either a lie or she actually wasn’t aware that her...
The aftermath of the vicious assault on the police headquarters left a lousy taste in my mouth and made me more attentive to possible threats close enough to cause me harm. My Uncle was in a rotten mood and was staying mum on the investigation. That did a lot to increase my sense of paranoia about who was a good guy and who was worth a second look. The day started badly and got worse when my cute secretary with whom I had had some special moments announced in a stage whisper as she was...
I discovered that the Attorney General’s office were a bunch of busy little bees because the police headquarters was swarming with hordes of young men and women all wearing the distinctive jackets with the title “FBI” emblazoned on the back. I knew they had taken the files and were starting to carry the ball on the corruption charges that my Uncle Joe had been fighting to institute these last few years but without success. The case had enough dead bodies to start a tidal wave of protest from...
I got up early that Sunday morning with a determination to put in a run along Central Park West all the way from one end to the other. I actually made it up to eighty-second street before I decided to quit and save it for another day. Saturday night was a bit of a blur but it wasn’t from the booze. I had that under control these days. No, I had gotten a touch of the virus that was floating around the city making working mothers crazy with figuring out what to do with their sneezing,...
In all honesty, I have to admit that I was a bit embarrassed by our impulsive threesome. I could tell that Eve was pretty much onboard with the cherry breaking ceremony and she was so nervous that she spent a lot of time just giggling and laughing about the whole thing. She silently watched me pounding her older sister into the mattress afterwards and she felt her body all over like she was in some kind of a voodoo trance like one of those zombie movies that always amused me. Anyway, the...
The only thing that I didn’t like about dating FBI Special Agent Gloria was that she was all caught up in the handcuff fetish and would hook me to the wrought iron bedpost sometimes when I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I didn’t mind her riding me on top because I liked the way her ass cheeks slapped into my thighs with that meaty sound of mutual lust that never failed to make me as hard as a rock at the right time. We were alone in the bedroom late that night and she had me just...
The shock of the gangland style assassinations of the cops sort of turned the city on its ear and a sense of fear and shame could be an indicator of better days ahead. The pushback from the general public was well covered by the fickle media which suddenly pivoted from blaming the cops for everything from blackouts to enforcement of collecting the fares on the mass transit system to praising them for reach-outs to the local populace using things like the Police Athletic League to win the...
Early the next morning, I picked up two coffees and a pair of doughnuts for Gloria and me to pig out on up on the roof of the Federal building downtown. She was frowning at the doughnut but I noticed she didn’t hesitate to shove it in her pretty little mouth and wash it down with a big swallow of Java. The tough FBI Special Agent had been making noises lately about her putting on some extra pounds around the hips and I took it all with a grain of salt because I was so used to most of the...
I actually began to look forward to my night shift at the laundry because of the perks of getting a piece of Judith’s pleasantly plump rump served up for my enjoyment and daily draining in the supply room. She even threw in an occasional blow job for variety but kept her snatch off limits because to her it was real sex and the stuff that we were doing was acceptable to lessen the boredom of washing bales of dirty clothes each night. She was still giving out favors to some of the long time...
Just before my scheduled visit with my favorite secretary Julie, I got into a scape with a pair of soldiers from the Hispanic gang that liked to think they ran everything on the inside. I usually got along with them, but I suspected that they were put up to it by some of my enemies on the outside. Lord knows, I had plenty of them to go around. I brought it to a quick conclusion by promising them a couple of packs of smokes which I knew I could get from the laundry manager just by...
I was in the inmate discharge section of the facility and was getting dressed in the dark blue suit furnished by my new legal team. They even had a nice striped tie and cuff links to round out the outfit to present me in a light in the courtroom that would not prejudice anyone in the jury to think I was guilty because I was wearing the apparel of a criminal. It was a small detail but I knew how those things worked and knew the attorneys were well-organized and a big improvement over the...
For the duration of the trial, I was incarcerated in a makeshift jail in the basement of the courthouse building. It was a smart move and one that I was in total accord with, although I pretended it was all a supreme bore and another cross I had to bear considering my complete innocence with regard to the charges. It came complete with a lavatory with proper supplies provided by my defense team. The bed was a bit bare-bones being a locally purchased Army cot with a surplus air mattress that...
Today was the day that the delayed trial got underway again. I was beginning to smell a rat in the works because the only reason for delaying was because the prosecution knew they had a losing case. They were praying for some sort of miracle that would create disaster for the defense. This would allow them to walk away with at least some of the charges that were mostly bogus to stick to the wall. The result would give them the right to claim victory no matter how slight. I rousted Angela...
The days of the trial were becoming more routine now. I would rather be in a totally different atmosphere but the light at the end of the tunnel was becoming more focused with each passing day. I had to admit it was far better than being in a combat zone or getting shot at on the job, but I really missed the freedom of choosing my own clothes and going to a ball game and taking a day off if I wanted a bit of variety in my life. I made it up with Julie by having her visit me on a conjugal...
The atmosphere in the courtroom changed as soon as the focus shifted from the prosecution making its case to hearing the defense team finally telling their side of the story. It was obvious to the spectators and hopefully to the jury members that the judge was doing his level best to grease the wheels for the prosecution simply because the evidence and the facts were so overwhelming that some of the jurors questioned why the case was not dismissed at the outset. The sense of chaos at the...
The first thing the judge did on Tuesday afternoon just when the trial was supposed to start back up again was to shut everything down and dismiss the jury with the caution not to discuss the case with any member of the press. His explanation was that the case had taken a new direction and it would be necessary to convene a new grand jury to continue any processing of new charges against the defendants. Most of the jurors seemed disappointed because they had gotten into a routine that...
It was a surprise decision made by those above my paygrade to have a joint task force meeting at the Attorney General’s office early Monday morning to discuss the plan of attack and to share intelligence on the current status of the case. Somehow, my Uncle had decided I would be the one to represent his office and our contribution to the evidence against the cartel running the Dirty Cop project. For the first time, I was unsure of my Uncle’s motivation in selecting me because I knew I was on...
Julie and I were sitting down on the floor next to my little hideaway in the office looking at the assortment of files that constituted the data collected on the murders that had spurred my investigation of the Dirty Cop case and I guess I must have been sporting a huge frown of frustration at not being able to pull it all together into a semblance of logical motivation. When I had taken the courses in investigation at the police academy, the first thing they had driven into our heads was...
With Julie’s attention to detail and the outstanding input from Miss OH, I was finally able to put a blue ribbon around the file on the Donnie Anderson murder and I celebrated by bringing Miss OH back to meet my Julie and they hit it off right from the moment Julie got a gander at her slim perfectly curved buttocks and her wonderful smile when she was getting licked down where the grass grows greener. Julie was getting to that point when she had to be careful about her level of enthusiasm...
I went back to the office and dreaded coming face to face with Julie after my shameful behavior with Lola. I felt really bad about my weakness in tending to the needs of my cock and placing them before the processes of my brain that told me to stay on the straight and narrow and follow up on my original plan. In retrospect, I regretted informing her that I was going to put Lola under the glare of an interrogation naked light bulb. I remembered that at the time, she had looked at me with a...
Julie did a good job of keeping any expression off her face as she listened silently to my report on the intelligence I had received from teenaged Eva on her sister Gloria’s little tricks to stitch me up for a long stretch in prison. I knew I had shamelessly taken advantage of Eva’s crush on me at the beginning of her sexual development, but I mollified my guilty conscience with the argument that it was she that came to me and I didn’t do anything to set her up to pump her more ways than...
Before that expedition to the hospital, I had always considered my getting shot on the job going through that dangerous door as the turning point of my life because it meant I was not going to get a chance at a career with the NYPD. Now, with the page being turned on my life with the birth of a baby and the news that my sham marriage to Julie was a on a lot more solid ground than I had ever thought possible, I accepted my new role as a husband and a father not just as a phony relationship...
I was sitting across the desk from my Uncle Joe about six weeks later ready to discuss my final report with him. His chief of staff Malcom Whittaker sat slightly to his left and behind him with a copy open on his lap. I knew he had probably gone over the thing with a fine-tooth comb and if he spotted anything over the line he would have already talked it over with my Uncle. I couldn’t tell from their poker faces if they loved it or hated it for reasons of their own. I had Julie sitting next...
I sat on the long sofa watching a baseball game on the small black and white television set parked against the opposite wall. It was a cheap model that I had picked up at the police auction of confiscated items a couple of months ago. Consuela’s little girl Maria was watching the baby in the crib and feeding it toys to play with the concentration that only a small child could gather like magic from an invisible cloak. The girl didn’t look anything like her short pleasantly plump mother doing...
Brooklyn was my Uncle Joe’s little fiefdom. He was the top cop in the borough and he had the job for a long time now. He wasn’t that old all things considered because he was the youngest Captain in the history of the Department and rose quickly in the upper echelons of the hierarchy of the New York Police Department. It seemed to me that Brooklyn had a certain magical air about it. At night, it didn’t have the sparkle of Manhattan but it was not as dark as Staten Island. The demographics...
The unopened bottle of Johnny Walker fifty year old was staring at me on the desk in front of me in my office the day after the funeral. The urge to open it and start a lost weekend was knocking at my door. The black dog was scratching at my door like it had in those days of recovery after getting shot up in combat. The phone was driving me crazy and I finally gave up and picked up the receiver to hear the familiar voice of the young girl down at the police morgue tell me they had my Uncle’s...
After that second deadly car bombing that robbed me of my precious Julie, I was in a contained rage that took hold of me and made me have only one goal in life. I wanted to rub out the filthy criminals that had perpetrated this grotesque horror right under our noses. One thing was readily apparent to me and that was that the Federal witness protection program needed some big changes because they were not doing the job their mission described as their primary duty. I knew right away that the...
Monday morning was complete disaster. The alarm shattered what was left of my nerves. I launched a left hook at it and watched it bang into the wallpaper leaving a mark that would require some tender loving care. I didn’t know what I should do first, shower or shave. The decision was too much for my almost zombie-like state of directionless thought. I gave up and brewed a pot of coffee in automatic mode and allowed my brain go into pilotless control wishing that same ploy would work for...

It really wasn't any surprise that Paulina became popular. She was incredibly gorgeous, with her wavy, black hair that hung down her back; her full, plump lips that looked perfect for sucking dick; her C cup tits that constantly strained against the tight, half-shirts she wore; her flat stomach and thin waist; and finally her thick bubble butt that was constantly on display in the tight leggings she wore. The cherry on top was that Paulina was a huge tease that gave every guy in school,...
Hello to all ladies and guys here. I will call myself the ‘masseur’. I am not too comfortable sharing my name in my first experience itself. I am happy to have learnt a bit about the art of massage which helped me pen this. It was a hot humid summer in Goa and I had taken a break from work. I checked into one of the most beautiful secluded parts in south Goa for a weekend getaway away from the noise. Little did I know that the weekend would be one I would remember for ages to come!

Due to my fascination and attraction with female body, I became a ladies tailor and opened a shop in a garage in a upper middle class society in south Delhi. First few days, I was very gentleman like with all my customers. As I was new, most of the time young ladies and girls were accompanied by their husbands or mothers or other relatives. I used to take measurements in hurry without making any bold moves. Very soon I won over the confidence of the society there. All these days, I was really...
"If you were setting up the course, what would you recommend?" David was curious, now that he was over stunned. Junior gave the chats a quick glance, "Lake Erie is shallow and this end has a lot of wannabe islands ... rises and humps that make life interesting for sailors. I'd steer 123 degrees off north and pay close attention to Rattlesnake Island. We'll miss Sister to starboard but 123 would rack us up on this ... bump ... can't call it a reef ... a reef is coral." David looked at...
He was, once again, nervous. This surprised him, somewhat, as he thought that he—and she—had gotten over the initial butterflies-in-the-stomach after their first meeting. But that was lunch, and this was... well, different. Not that it mattered anyway; she was still new to him. This was all new. Even seeing a new email pop into his box—seeing her name on a message—made his heart skip a beat with anticipation of what teasing the message would hold. And now, as he paced the room, he...

“Michael! Wait up!” a familiar voice called across the courtyard as Michael walked past the fountain of lovers on display. Classes were over and his head still felt like it was spinning. All day as he sat through one lecture after another he kept thinking about anatomy. He couldn’t believe what he had done. Turning back now, he saw the study group walking swiftly up to meet him. He smiled, thinking how it was funny that they seemed to have formed a clique so quickly. “Hi,” he said. The group...
NovelsOne Friday night, when I had been working late, I came home to find Max on my doorstep. “What's wrong, Max?” I asked. “Trina dumped me” he said. Max had been seeing Trina for 3 months, and even though I thought that she was a conniving slut, Max had been madly in love with her. “Come inside and tell me all about it” I said. Max went into my house and sat down heavily on the sofa. “She dumped me” he said. “I love her. And she dumped me!” “Let me get you some water?” I...

Iona was not sure how long she laid there. A pain in her chest made breathing exhausting. This pain moved through her body till everything ached. Tears were never a general thing with her; she cried till empty. This was worse than physical abuse; that could only break her back. This broke her spirit. Her spirit was her only pride. To her it had value. There were no memories without it. She clung to it. Her spirit was the only thing she truly owned. No man or woman could take it. Or, so she...

Wife Lovers"How come I don't have a body like Summer's," Amanda wondered as she stared at her wet, naked body in the mirror. She turned a little sideways and frowned as her breasts barely stuck out from her chest. Her hair hung wetly down just to her shoulders, framing her oval face. She wrinkled her nose as she wished for the sprinkling of freckles over her nose and cheeks to just disappear. Methodically, she blow-dried and brushed her dark blond hair, fussing with it until it curled just slightly...
Chapter 1 I was a senior in high school and, like any horny eighteen-year-old guy, I watched porn and jerked off a lot. One day, while watching some videos on XVIDEOS I saw one with a couple of girls and a guy. The girls appeared to be bisexual as they kissed and touched each other a lot, but the guy was clearly the boyfriend of one of them but sneaked an occasional fondle of the other one without his girlfriend seeing him. There were several videos of them and I noted that there was a...
The check point at Butte was bigger than the others. A trailer of some sort had been parked under an over pass along with three police cars, two were Butte City police vehicles, and one Montana State Police cruiser. A small generator was supplying power to the medium sized trailer. After coming to a stop under the over pass, Greg got out and approached the officers. Snow was starting to get heavily mixed with the rain. "I didn't notice any lights for Butte. Have you people lost power...
"I warned you, Jessa! You were over an hour past your curfew last night. You aren't going out tonight; do you understand!?" he yelled from the living room. "Dad, I have a birthday party to go to tonight, I've been looking forward to it for weeks now," she whined. "Well, guess what, too damn bad!!" "And she has done it again, just when will my cute step sister learn?" I wondered, covering my face with both hands. Suddenly the door opened up. "Were you fucking listening to that, Claude?" My hands...

It was a hot summer, a warm afternoon in August. As I came home, I shouted... " MOM! I'm home...."I glanced at the kitchen. But she was not there. So I walked towards the garden. And I saw her. She was in the pool, swimming. "Hi mom! I'm home..!" I said.Mom looked at me and said " Hi Danny! How are you?""I’m Ok, but what a hot day, isn't it?" I asked.-"Yes hon. The pool is cool. Why don't you join me?" Mom said.I looked at my mom and laughed. "Mom I don't have any bathing trunks. I can't swim....
I always thought of myself as a moral man. On the two prior occasions when I was faced with choosing morality over carnality, it was fairly easy to do the right thing. Recently, however, I found myself unable to resist. I’m semi-retired. Lucky, at 63 to have been able to leave the rat race of the corporate retail world early. Married, with three grown kids. All in all, life is pretty good. Not perfect, mind you, but pretty good. I work part-time at a local winery not far from my home. A couple...
