After they returned to Parameter, Jim started to work on incorporating the changes into the construction. He continued to see Ann everyday on the construction site and they had dinner once or twice a week and they spent every Sunday together.
The construction continued at a hectic pace, but the problems seemed to be fewer. He attributed this to the fact that everyone knew what had to be done and that everyone was really interested in making the project come in on time.
About 3 days before Christmas Ann came to the site to discuss the progress. They went over the items that she had concerns about and he could tell that something was bothering her.
"Do you want to tell me what's bothering you or should I guess?"
"I'm sorry. My daughter and her husband are flying in tomorrow early. One of the production lines just went down and I'm have the broken parts flown in. It's probably going to take 2 days to get the line back up and running. I'm going to have to ask her to catch an airport limo. I wanted to be there to pick her up."
"How about if I pick her up. I can get away. Everything is running as smooth as it can."
"Jim, if you could I would feel so much better. I don't want her to have to fight the crowds and maybe have to wait hours for a limo. She had trouble getting tickets because of the heavy travel."
"Then don't worry about it. Just call her and tell her I'll pick her up."
The next morning he was standing in the airport holding a sign that read "Jessica Day". Ann had to tell him Jessica's married name over the cell phone. He had forgotten to ask before he left for the airport. As he saw the people approaching he held up the sign. A pretty young woman walked over to him and asked if he was Jim Furol. He said that he was and she introduced herself.
"Where is your husband?" he asked.
He saw tears come to her eyes and she sat down on her carryon an started to cry.
"I'm sorry. I thought I could hold it in until I was alone. Can we get a drink? I'm shaking inside. I don't know if I can face my mother right now. Maybe I shouldn't have come back here just now."
He took her bag and led her to the airport lounge and sat in a booth. The lights were dim and the booth allowed them as much privacy as you could expect in a public place. He ordered a beer for himself and was surprised when she ordered a Jack Daniels and water.
When the waitress brought the drinks, Jessica downed hers and ordered another one before the waitress had a chance to leave.
"Would you like to tell me what's bothering you? I listen real good and I don't make judgments."
Jessica looked at him as if trying to make up her mind if she should confide in a person that she had only met 10 minutes ago.
"Are you the man that's been keeping my mother so bubbly? You're all she wants to talk about when I call."
"If I'm making her all bubbly as you put it, I'm glad and yes I am seeing your mother. I don't know where we are going with it yet, but I have high hopes."
Jessica stared at her second drink, "John and were happy the first couple of months after we moved to California. He went with that computer outfit and things started to change. I don't now if you know anything about the computer industry, but money flows like water. I got that teaching position and I have to spend my evenings grading papers and making lesson plans. John figured that anytime off of work was party time. He started going out without me. I knew that his friends were doing drugs and were pretty wild. He started to be gone all weekend and he said that he was expected to go on these parties with his co-workers. About 2 weeks ago he moved in with some teenybopper and said that I was boring and he wanted more out of life than working all of the time. I've made up my mind to come back home after the school year. I have a contract and can't get out of it until then."
"You only got married in June didn't you?" he asked.
"Yeh, we're more efficient than your generation. It took years for your marriages to fail, we can do it in months."
She started crying hard again and he moved over beside her and put his arm around her. He held her until she stopped crying.
"I'm sorry. It just hurts so bad."
"Your mother and I both know how you feel. We've both been hurt like you have. Nothing that your mother or I do can make the hurt go away. That's up to you. You can either let it eat you up or you can put it behind you and move on with your life. I was so miserable the first year after the divorce that I almost got fired."
She tried to stop crying and wiped her eyes, "What about you two. What's going on there?"
"Well, that's an unfinished story. Your mother was hurt worse than you realize. She's very fragile. She's asked me for some time and I'm giving it to her. I could drive her away by pressuring her too much."
"I understand now just what my mother went through."
Christmas day dawned bright for Katie Shaw. Her clock radio had awakened her to the sound of Christmas carols and news of snow falling since 2:00 that morning.

The prospect of the roads being covered didn't dampen Katie's spirits as she turned on the shower while she brushed her teeth.Stepping from the shower Katie took down the oversized towel and rubbed it briskly over her skin.

Merry Christmas, slut By Shannon Cole Shannon padded slowly down the hallway, still more asleep than awake. Her surroundings were familiar but she still felt lost in her sleepy haze as her feet automatically made their way to the kitchen. She trailed her fingers along the smooth wall in the hallway, half to keep her balance, half just because she needed to touch something, anything, not wanting to be alone. She found the kitchen and sleepily put the tea kettle on, readying her favorite...
Merry Birthday to You Merry Birthday to YouAuthor: Dr Charles ForbinCopyright ? 2005??????????????? I generally view birthdays with a somewhat jaundiced eye as I've advanced in years. And I will admit it is fair to say my sweet bird of youth has not just flown, but has been shot, stuffed and served at Thanksgiving.??????????????? So I honestly didn't expect there to be anything different this year than in the previous ones.??????????????? Low expectations prevent disappointments I have...
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Make the Yule time bright. From now on our troubles will be out of sight..." Fuck Christmas! Fuck the holidays! What a kick in the fuckin teeth! The next fucking jerk off that spews the carbon copy "Merry Christmas" or "Happy holidays" bullshit out of their cock slurper to me, will likely get a two word response, and I don't mean "You too!" From somewhere off to the east I could hear the refrains of the song, most likely from the ice rink in...
Another coin landed in the Cup I had placed on the pavement and I murmured a “Thanks and Merry Christmas”. That was the funny thing about this time of the year. People either just rushed by or they gave more than the rest of the year. I reached for the cup, counted the coins. Not enough for a hostel, enough for food, enough for tobacco, enough for a coffee. Wait another hour and try to get more? But I was restless, memories tried to force themselves onto me. A group of young girls walked past....
This story is dedicated to my dear friend, Trish Patricia stood by the open doorway, looking out through the storm door at her small, snow covered front yard, and the street beyond. Her front porch light illuminated the heavily, but silently, falling snow which prevented traffic on the street. Her heart felt heavy and a tear slid down her cheek because she knew the storm would prevent Tom from coming to see her tonight. He probably would not come tomorrow either because the forecast was for...
It is the night before Christmas and it has been miserable. There is a bit of snow left on the ground. It’s dirty and slushy and there is mud all around. On the drive home I’d barely escaped some idiot that managed to put his car into a skid on the dark ice. It’s been windy all day, the chill factor is below zero and I may be coming down with a cold. To top it all off my boyfriend called me last week and broke it off. Merry Christmas! I did all my shopping early. I’d hoped to catch a glimpse...
Two young college students share a special Christmas vacation...written as a contest entry in 2009, it came in third, btw...Merry Christmas, BabyBack in the summer of 1980, I was a restless young man. I was a 19-year-old with a natural curiosity and a cocky attitude. The summer of 1980 was also the last summer I had before going off to college. I had taken a year off after high school and felt I needed to make the most of my time off. That meant work hard and play even harder. I had taken a job...
It was nothing more than a circle of plate steel mounted on an old truck wheel bearing. There were pipe railings leading towards the center like chutes. Laughing children made daytime play here.Things would be different tonight; it was quiet in a moonless warm summer evening. The post midnight sky was inky black and scattered with brilliant jewels and celestial spirits. The van slowly drove the last quarter mile with lights off at a near idle like a a brisk walk. Anne glanced across the...
Cindy and I were practically inseparable that summer. We did everything together. I had never before become so attached to one girl. But Cindy was different. She had that certain something that words just cannot describe. By the end of the summer, I was completely taken with her. Everything about her I enjoyed thoroughly. I can't say I was ever really in love before, but now I was. I was enjoying every minute of it. Not only was I completely taken with her every move and word, but she...

Introduction: A pair of young college students share a special time during Christmas break. Back in the summer of 1980, I was a restless young man.

Kate and I had only been dating for about seven months by the time we went to that New Year’s Eve party.She was, is, my everything.We had actually met back in college, earlier that year. We had a class together during our last semester before graduating. She sat next to me and was friendly at first. It took me a while before I realized she was flirting with me. But, despite my obliviousness, she stuck with me. Once I registered the fact that she was flirting, we out and it was awesome.I always...
LesbianA Christmas PresentMy bath was just starting to cool down when I heard a car coming down the drive to the house. It was my best friend, Holly, coming to visit and right on time, as usual. I smiled to myself and got out of the whirlpool, drying off as I heard her make her way inside and upstairs towards my room."Katie?" she asked as she came into the bedroom."In here, Holly," I replied as I moved over to the shower stall. She walked through the open door as I got in the shower and reached for my...
One night I was sitting in the living room watching pointless TV when there was a knock on my door. That was odd, because my building had a front door and you needed to get buzzed in. I looked out the peep hole and there was Lisa, the blonde lifeguard I had great sex with a few days earlier. Of course, she had a key to the building, so she didn't need to get buzzed in. I opened the door and I was about to close it when I see a petite red head hanging back in the hallway. "I hope you don't mind...
"Oh god yes-s-s-s-s-s Johnny Ray, make mommy cum," Raylene moaned with passion as she rode me sitting in my lap facing me. Her hot tight sweet naked little 34B-22-32 body was pressed in against my naked body as she bounced up and down on my cock and I sucked on her breasts. The only thing Raylene was wearing, besides a smile of contentment, was a red Santa hat with a white band along the bottom and a white ball at the topOur hot naked bodies melted in together as we passionately kissed, our...

Straight SexI was moping around the house when my younger sister, by a year, came into the living room. Bev didn't have my problems. Everything was easy for her. She was almost 2 inches taller, had light brown hair that was usually in a pony tail and easily attracted whatever guys interested her. Where I was short and skinny, Bev was tall and more of a cheerleader type. And to top it off, she was every bit as smart as me. "What's up Pete?" "Nothing. Same old shit." "Bummer. So, what do yo want...
“Hey, where you going?” my wife called out as I rounded up my keys from the top of my dresser. “None of your business,” I said. “I just have a couple of errands to run.” “Ooh, mysterious errands,” she said, walking into the bedroom. “Are you going to get a Christmas present for little old me?” “Should I?” I said, putting on my best innocent look. She sidled up next to me, took my arm, and wiggled around a little bit. “Well, I’ll be thinking of you while you’re gone,” she said. Yes, I was...

Jesse and Grace sat together on the couch in front of the fire, snuggled together and enjoying being close.

WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY.Outside the world was white and frosty with the North wind blowing great gusts of snow this way and that depending on its mood. But in a small bungalow way out in the middle of nowhere recently wed Ted and Alice were enjoying their first Christmas morning together opening their presents...Ted opened his last gift to discover a box full of multi-colored golf balls staring back at him. He lent over and kissed his new wife who was sat on the sofa beside him as...
SpankingI let the cabover Mack tractor snake its way along the 2 lane highway, enroute to another delivery. Another day another delivery followed by another pickup, same story different day; the only thing that changed were the cities involved. Today I'd delivered in northern Kentucky, a load of glass bottles. My pickup was a load of food at a Cincinnati warehouse, bound for a distribution center in Charleston, WV. It was a useless little load, the goods involved were cheap and the miles were short, so...
FetishHello, all. It's been a while. A lot of things have happened since we last spoke. The massage parlor was sold to my friend Deb, who moved it to a stand alone building. That gives our customers more discretion, especially vocally. She made me the manager, so now I'm there quite a bit. I also moved, I bought a new house in town. My boys love it, and so do I. Now, on with my story.Last Friday, I had the morning off, and wanted to finish up some holiday shopping. I woke up hornier than normal, but...
Straight SexI'm sipping a fresh brew of hot cocoa on Christmas Eve when the knock sounds on my door. I start out of my reverie and spill some of the contents near the top two buttons on my new blouse. Wisely, I set my mug on the coffee table before throwing my hands up in frustration.The knock sounds again, and I wonder who would be at my door in this weather. The snow's been falling in sheets ever since I got out of classes for the day, and the Midwest winter dark is out in full force. I amble toward the...
Merry ChristmASS, Bitch Boy! The holidays were upon us. I had spent the last three months of my life as the personal sex slave of Brittany Andrews and Chantz Fortune. By now I was used to the chores, and the beatings, and constantly servicing and being fucked by their various strapon dildos. However, I never got used to the humiliating situations that they placed me in on a daily basis. Little did I know the worst was yet to come. I was trimming the Christmas tree, wearing nothing...

VoyeurJim finished wrapping the packages late Christmas Eve. He started to take the packages down to the pickup truck. He was glad that he had had a fiberglass bed cover put on the pickup as they were predicting snow for later tonight. He had the cell phone clipped to his belt in case Jessica called. It took several trips to get all of the presents into the truck and he had to put the presents that he had bought Jessica, earlier in the day, into the front next to him. He went back inside and waited...
Mike snored on his back as Liz curled up on the sofa. Mike jerked awake when his heard a strange voice in the room. "You have been a bad girl,Liz" A short pudgy man in traditional dress was looking at Liz as she lay with her legs spread and an obvious wet patch covering her downy pussy lips. "How are we going to change that?" An evil twinkle flashed behind the wire rimmed glasses that covered the intruder's eyes. "Santa" sat down on the throne that had appeared in the corner next...

A flip of a switch filled the yard with colored lights. Regina smiled while watching the spruce trees lining the sidewalk appear to spin. She didn’t care that chasing lights were out of style – she liked them. Curtain lights, icicle lights, LEDs… The trend changed every year anyway. Turning around, she sighed. It was hard to get into the spirit in an empty house. The loss of her dad five years earlier had started it, followed by her mother the following year, and then the divorce. This year,...

We had went down to the city to get some shopping in and decided to say over night. We went to a hotel we had used before which had suites with a separate bedroom and sitting room with doors between. It was handy when one person wanted to watch TV and the other one wanted to sleep although there was a TV in the bedroom too. We had went to bed fairly early as we had had a long day. We left theTV on when we fell asleep as it helped give some light without being too dark. Ellen, my wife, was lying...
Since I convinced my wife I wanted her to have sex outside of our marriage my sex life has become unbelievable. It was her idea to incorporate a chastity device because I always jerked off when she was out on a date. Over the years we have accumulated a large selection of cages and some are down right uncomfortable for me to wear. If I misbehave she always picks one of the smallest cages to put me in, so for Christmas she told me I would be getting a new cage for Christmas and she asked if I...
It's a little late to believe in Santa so I'll just chalk it up to fate...and a horny nigga.My last BBC was years ago in Saigon. Like any BBC slut I miss it a lot after a while.A few days before Christmas a black and white pair of guys checked into the hostel. They were friendly enough, the white guy wasn't feeling too well, they both went up to the dorm and to get cleaned up. An hour later the black guy came down to get a few beers; he also wanted to know if there was a pharmacy close by. His...
This is a true story, only the names have been changed.It was Christmas and I had finished spending time with my family, and headed to my gay pal's house for the night. Being that we all worked for the same video store chain (in different locations), we had some videos to watch.When I arrived, plenty of friends were there already. One of the NEW friends there was Cammy. Cammy was friends with Kate, and Kate was the reason I had started working at the video store. Kate was an alternative girl,...
It was a beautiful spring night, and he walked hand in hand with his new wife, enjoying the smell of new blossoms and a low fresh breeze.

Who knows, maybe the doctor is wrong?”“Sweetie, I’ll always love you, but I am a woman and I need a c***d.

First TimeFrom the moment we were born, my sister and I, despite being identical twins, were total opposites for the most part. My 'older' sister, as I often retreat to calling her during arguments, came out head first, while I came out 'breech'. Doctors attributed my breech birth to complications from the twinning; my sister later claimed it was because we were 69ing at the time labor began! She's a pip. I'll give her that. Our childhood was a demonstration of the opposite of most twin...

The holidays suck man; they suck big time. Everything bad that has ever happened to me has happened during the period that stretches from Thanksgiving to New Years. It started when I was fourteen. The family was going to Hawaii the week after Thanksgiving for a two-week stay. God, but was I ever up for it. Two weeks on sunny beaches that would be wall to wall with gorgeous babes in bikinis. A true masturbator's paradise, except that I didn't go. Two days before we were scheduled to leave I...
Tara was the only girl in a family of eight. She had always been small in stature but attacked life with fierce determination and a quiet wisdom. Her balance was amazing considering all of the testosterone around her. She was about 5' even with long black wavy hair, an olive complexion, and green eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. At 26, she was poised to graduate with a degree in early childhood education. And that, is where it all began to fall apart. Her parents had finally found...
Ann Bristol waited behind the car she had hit. Her hand had slipped off of the steering wheel and her bumper had made contact with the car. Although the damage was minor, she was not the type to leave without letting the person that owned the car get her insurance information. She had been in a hurry to pick up a few things at Walgreen's before she got home and her mind had been on the changes that were about to happen at work. She lived alone since her daughter had gotten married. Her...
"Is this your truck? I'm afraid that I hit it as I was pulling in the parking spot." She showed him the mark on the car door. He bent down and wet his finger and rubbed the mark. "It's just a scrap on the paint. I can easily rub it out with a bit of rubbing compound. It's a rental vehicle and I doubt they would even notice something like that." She pulled her wallet out of her purse, "if you'd like I can give you my insurance information." "No, believe me, a little rubbing...
He sat down at the desk with the yellow pages phone book and started making phone calls. Within five days his office trailer was setup and he had his phones in. Park Machinery had accepted bids months ago and had the contractors that he would use already lined up, and under contract. He reviewed the schedule again and again. When he had his plan worked out to the smallest detail he called the local restaurants to find a room big enough to hold all of the contractors and representatives of all...
After a few days of intense negotiations, all parties agreed to the plans for the construction. The ground breaking was attended by everyone involved in the project and was written up in the papers. Jim made sure that a complete account of the agreement with Parameter, the contractors and the building trades was written up in the Sunday newspaper in the business section. The construction started in earnest On September 15th. The unions had little problem manning the project since work was a...
They took an airport limo from the airport to Jim's house. He had called his son and told him that he would be bringing a business acquaintance to the house. He knew how young people were and ordered his son to have a maid service to come and clean the house before they left. He told his son to pay for the cleaning with Jim's credit card. As they walked into the house, he was relieved to see that the house was perfect. Everything was clean and in it's place. "You have a very nice...
In the morning they went back to Park Machinery to work on the changes to the machinery that Parameter needed. Jim introduced Ann to all of the design team members that would be working on the changes. Jim directed the efforts and asked for Ann's input every step of the way. Several times a part of the design would be completed only to find that it would impact Parameter's operations or future plans. All of the original drawings were in AutoCAD and the changes that were approved by Ann...
