"Anne, take a look at this."
"Say, Heather, you look good even with clothes on," Saul gibed.
"You do look terrific, Heather. Try to ignore this brute," Anne said.
"This is what I plan to wear to San Francisco tomorrow."
Heather wore her favorite kind of outfit, a mid-thigh dress of heavy, well-fitted knit with push-up sleeves and a zipper front. It was a rich red that picked up the lights in her long chestnut hair. She wore no jewelry.
"You're wearing stockings? I've never seen you do that."
Heather grinned broadly. "Nope. You said I should try for impact. And I decided it shouldn't be anything like what Mei-Ling would do. Here it is."
She pulled the zipper down, let the dress fall to the floor and stepped out of it with one motion. She wore black virtual stockings that rose to her hips, but left her abdomen bare. From the deep brown forest of her pubic hair, a fountain of fireworks rose toward her breasts, exploding in silvery rays at her nipples and fading into the background of her skin toward her neck and arms.
"Holy mackerel!" Saul said. "Hey, gang, come and look."
"Heather, that's wonderful."
"I love it!"
"What an incredible idea!"
Anne said. "What's in back? Anything?"
Heather turned. The 'stockings' colored her buttocks almost to the waist, following the contours and dipping into the cleft. Tiny stars sent rays out from the dimples. Above, a sunburst of fireworks spread across her back and shoulders.
"God, that's great. Mei-Ling will go nuts."
"I figure, either that, or she'll throw me out. Decided to go for broke."
"She'll love it. This is so creative, she'll simply go wild for it. Then, she'll take the whole idea and run with it in her own style. You've blown the whole concept of Virtual Jewelry away from mini-tattoos into an art form."
"Thanks. That's what I had in mind. What do you think, Will?"
"Heather, it's wonderful. Almost makes me want to go back to graphics."
Heather gave him a hug. "Thanks, Will. But you stay out of my patch, I'll stay out of yours."
"Speaking of that, you look so fantastic, I'd really like to..."
"Later, okay? And we've got all weekend, too."
"Right, it'll be a relief after talking with horse owners all day Saturday and Sunday."
They returned Sunday night, late. On Monday, Anne, Mary and Saul had breakfast with Heather and Will. Heather wore a tee-shirt. Anne gave her a look, said nothing.
"How'd the horse stuff go, Will?" Mary asked.
"Got three more commissions, one of them for two paintings. Mary, you said I don't need you any more. That's not so, you know. You always make those meetings something special. But as far as knowing more about horses, you are right. It was like I had x-ray vision. It really paid off with one of those guys."
"How?"
"He wanted me to disguise the animal's bad hocks. I told him I paint the horse as it is, that's the only way I work. But I showed him how I could do him in a gait where the problem wasn't hardly visible. Sort of like what you suggested to me the first time we went to Kentucky. I really had a great time. Just lonely."
"Lonely?"
"Yeah, Heather stood me up." Will grinned at her.
"What is this?" Anne wanted to know.
"Well, we went to the Lins' just like we planned," Heather said. "We went into that lovely jewelry room Mei-Ling has, and we talked, just the way you and Saul did. Mei-Ling was wearing the same kind of outfit you told us about — she said it's her uniform for the store, helps sell erotic jewelry."
"Boy, you can say that again," Will put in. "She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, including all of you."
"Well, anyway, I gave her the spiel about Virtual Jewelry and Virtual Clothing. She sort of listened like she'd heard it before."
"I gave her a pretty good rundown on the phone," Anne said.
"Well, I thought I wasn't really getting it across, you know, and like I'd better do something before she fell asleep. So, I said, 'Mei-Ling, telling isn't like seeing.' And I got up and dropped my dress like I did the other day. Well, she lit up like a candle and hugged me... By the way, that's kind of a kick. When she hugs me, her face fits right between my breasts... Anyway, then she started feeling me all over. She went over every inch of my skin, didn't miss anything. She even spotted where you have to paint into the crack in back. She found the joins in the patterns, even though I can hardly see them myself. And then she stood back and made me turn around at least three times."

Ruthie and Mike settled into their routine as a couple over the next week. They spent two days setting up and repositioning furniture until the place was the way they wanted it. Anyone observing them might have found it amusing to see that they worked wearing nothing but shoes to protect their feet, but already Ruthie had declared the apartment a 'clothes-free zone'. The student center coffee shop was closed for a couple of weeks, which meant that Ruthie was temporarily out of work. She...
"Aunt Bessie!" Mary cried when she met the Coloradans at the airport. "And Jesse — how wonderful of you both to come." She turned to her mother with more hugs. "So good to see you... And Dad. Where are Dan and Consuela? I thought they were coming with you." "No, Mary, they came up with something special at the last minute. They'll be along tomorrow. Didn't you get their call? They were going to call you and Ken before they left." "No, maybe it came after I left the house. Come...
"Alex, your folks get in this afternoon. Do we need to agree on anything? Clothing, screwing, whatever?" "I've been thinking about it, Saul. I told them they have to accept that we sleep together, and that we don't always have our clothes on. They say they agree to that." "You don't sound all that sure about it," Sigrid said. "I'm not. I really don't see Mom being able to deal with it." "Well, we're going to find out," Heather said. "Let's try to keep some clothes on,...
It was Thursday when Jim and Denise and the O'Malleys arrived. Sigrid met them at the airport, feeling a little silly carrying a sign with a big 'Still Waters' logo. "I'm Jim Positano, and this is Denise." "Hi, I'm Sigrid Sorenson. Mary's teaching today; said she's sorry she couldn't meet you." "Hey there, you're Sigrid! Hi, Jim, Denise. I'm Al O'Malley and this is Margaret." "Sigrid Sorenson. I just explained that Mary's teaching this afternoon, couldn't meet you....
"Hi, Mom. It's Anne. You called.' "Yes, dear, thanks for calling back. I wanted to know if you're coming home for Memorial Day.' "What's going on? You having a party?' "No, we're not really planning anything, I just wanted to know if we'd be seeing you. If you're coming, maybe we'll think of something.' "Mom, do you want to come here for Memorial Day?' "Well, I don't know. We wouldn't want to... you know... ' "Mom, Lucy and Sam are coming, and so are Dan Sidney and...
"Mary! You're back. Come here and be kissed." "Hi, Saul. Did you miss my cooking?" "Saul," Tom said, "You mean this woman can cook? What have we been missing?" "Not much, you loves. I'm glad to be back. We had a wonderful time, but it's good to be home." Mary and Ken settled at the table for the meeting. "The big thing is the Introduction," Anne began. "Heather?" "So far, everything seems to be going all right. We have plenty of stock for all the things we're going to...
At five o'clock on Wednesday they turned the phones over to voice mail and the call center. Only the number known only to family would ring. Supper was quiet and slow. Afterward, Sigrid said, "Boy, I'm pooped. It's been a great fall, but I am wiped. Tom? Let's go upstairs tonight. I need some sleep." To no-one's surprise, the Big Bed was empty that night. The next morning, work began on Thanksgiving dinner. The only guests were Sarah and Steve, who arrived early and pitched into the...
"Hi, Jane, come on in, ' Mary said as Jane came up the walk. "You're already bare. Okay if I strip, too?' "Sure. Hang your stuff here. Makes it easy to find when you leave. Anne and Iris are here, we're out by the pool.' They stopped to open a Coke for Jane, then went into the sunshine. Mary settled on a lounge. Jane said, "Are you guys busy? I didn't mean to interrupt.' "No, Jane, ' Iris said, "We're just yakking. Taking a break and getting some rays.' "Anne, are you...

Everyone dispersed to their usual sleeping locations. They used the following day to get together all of the things they needed for a couple weeks "on the road". It's something they had better get used to if they were going to live the gypsy lifestyle of professional touring musicians. Bob had a limo pick them up at the various addresses and shove in all the baggage the girls had packed as necessities. Well, not to be a total sexist pig, but you know how women pack! The plan was for maybe...
The lights were out. They snuggled together under a duvet in the big new bed. "Anne?" "Umm?" "Can I meet Saul?" "Yeah, you never. You've never seen him. Sure. Lunch tomorrow?" "Good. We've got some things to work out about our new guys." "Uh-huh. Just wait to meet up with us until he has his food on the table. He's dangerous when he meets new girls. Assuming you like him, what do we do next?" "We've got four guys now. First question is, are they the right four? Then,...
I was sitting in the living room, looking out the window and sort of in a daze. It wasn't too late to get started on something, but I didn't seem to have any push. It was warm, so I hadn't dressed after my shower. I was sitting there in my warm daze when Anne came and made shadows on me. Then, she sat down close to me. I snuggled. I love her bare skin and I needed someone close. "Mary, what has gotten into you? You're not yourself lately." "Oh, nothing. I feel fine. Just lazy. Been...
I went to Still Waters one Wednesday. I thought Anne would be there, and she was. Out by the pool in the sun. I went and lay beside her on the lounge. "Hi," I said. "It's Wednesday. You usually don't come on Wednesday any more. I'm glad to see you." "I wanted to see you. Talk some." "Anything wrong?" "No, Anne, I just felt like I hadn't been with you for a while, and I wanted to spend some time." "Good. I've missed you." "Have I been away so long?" "Not really, of...
"Mary, can I wear your wedding dress?" "Anne, are you crazy? You know I hate that thing. Every time I see that picture from the introduction, I get that same feeling: the creeps." "Well, you're famous in it, you know. The whole world sees you like that. And you're gorgeous in it." "Yeah, I do look good. Don't know why it affects me that way. But, of course you can wear it. I suppose that means you're going to get married." "Yeah. Talked it over with Saul and Will, called Mom...
Alex's, Will's and Heather's parents sent regrets. Dan and Consuela were busy. Sarah and Steve helped with the preparations. At supper, Saul greeted their guests. They were all lightly clad in the warmth of the house. "I'm glad you remembered that we don't dress formally here. I thought I'd mention a couple of house rules, even though some of you already know them. "First, the cook never has to wash dishes. Second, if you use the rooms or beds upstairs you are guaranteed privacy...
They had quickly worked out a way to operate in the small bathroom when they both had to get going in the morning. Anne, being shorter, stood next to the sink, Mary behind her, when they were combing and brushing hair, cleaning teeth and such. Their naked bodies touched pleasantly. Anne raised an arm and began palpating her breast. "I really like my breasts. They're my best feature." "Oh, yes. Forget about the face, the abs, the buns. Definitely the boobs." Mary waved the drier around,...
Ken was checking out when a bell-man brought him a note. He looked at it, and turned to the clerk. "Cancel that check-out, please. We're staying another night, at least." Mary looked at him sharply; he handed her the note. "Saul, Anne," she said, "something good's come up, but we've got to rush. We'll be along tomorrow probably, okay?" "Fine. Thanks for your help. Keep in touch." Ken led Mary to a corner and took out his cell-phone. "Let me have her note, will you?" Mary...
On Friday, Heather was describing her progress with Virtual Jewelry, a product line she was developing for Still Waters Arts. In the past few months, she had found and exploited way to put colorful design transfers on the bare skin, making them into a kind of sensual jewelry. She had placed orders with a production house for test quantities of designs and graphic elements. Production was simple because the CAD designs went straight to a computer that turned them into silk-screen...
Christmas was just what I needed. Restful, happy. The whole study group was home, we had a wonderful reunion. We found we all had new friends, new lovers. We were just as close, but somehow we didn't end up in bed. On the other hand, Frank, a junior now, was busy catching up with his old girlfriends, some of whom spent the night. Ralph had his own girls, usually in the afternoon. I spent hours with Mom and Dad, telling them about college, the group, our plans for Still Waters Art. I had a...
Tom and Sigrid came down for breakfast late. Sigrid's happiness radiated like a torch. They sat eating the last of the muffins, licking the drips of butter off each other. "Anne, I wish I'd started when you did." "I had a whole different way of life, remember. Probably wouldn't have worked for you." They went upstairs again, did not re-appear until the others had left for the stables and the gym. With Alex, they drove to the lumber yard, loaded the van with supplies. That afternoon,...
Every time I travel with my job, the opportunities are endless: businesswomen at bars, wives stopping at Starbucks, stay-at-home moms shopping for husbands and family. The urges are everywhere. My problem is, I can’t just walk by without making myself known. I am a man. I can’t help it. The woman that you see at Starbucks is a woman on her way home from work. The woman that I see is a private fuck party waiting to meet someone that will make them lose all control of their inhibitions. The woman...
Kevin "Oh god, what am I going to do?" a woman's voice cries out. I look up from my newspaper and stare at the innocent-looking woman crying on the phone a table away from me. She is quite beautiful even when she is crying. She frantically taps her thumb at her phone screen and holds the phone to her ear. She bites her nails nervously as she waits for whoever she called to pick up. "Oh, please, please, please, pick up," she begs her phone. She taps her thumb on her phone screen again and brings...

Wife Lovers“Hear now the sentence of the Federation Council,” the President of that Council said in a powerful voice, pausing for a moment to clear his throat. “Because of certain mitigating circumstances, all charges but one are summarily dismissed.” A loud buzz filled the chamber as the eyes of a hundred Federation representatives centered on the seven Starfleet Officers standing before the President’s podium. The delegates had come to know their names well during their deliberations, at least those...
Pat Spector spent a long time looking at The Goddesses, Will's big, portrait pastels of Anne as Venus, Mary as Diana, Heather as Ceres and two of Sigrid as a Nereid and as Leda. She said nothing, then, "Show me the horses, Will," she demanded. Will took her into the gallery and then into his studio, where he was working on a western commission. Pat sat down on a chair. Dean wandered in and sat on the window sill while his wife studied the work in progress closely. "I always knew you'd...
Since it was a warm afternoon, the meeting convened beside the pool. Everyone bared all to the sun. "I've been talking with Jim and Harry," Anne said. "They both think we need to catch the wave in Europe. We've had some inquiries, and Iris, you say you've had a call or two." "Yes, Italy, and Germany." "Why don't you go and take a look? See what the market's like, check out distribution, get a feel for acceptance." "Okay. I'll have to make it quick — I hate that. And I...
Anne and Mary drove back to the university a week before classes began. The others were due to arrive late in the day. On the way they bought beer and English muffins and stocked up on other supplies. There was a message on the telephone from Sarah. "Mary, this is Sarah. Happy New Year. Call me." When she hung up after returning the call, Mary said, "Sarah knows we're looking for a house. She said she'd just seen a For Sale sign on the house next to the stables. She knows we want to...
On Monday afternoon, Anne was ready to leave the room. "Mary, you want to come to the figure class?' "Watch you stand around bare ass for an hour? Sure, why not?' At the Art School, the instructor, Henry, met them. "Ah, is this Mary Travis? Are you posing today? How are you, Anne?' Mary laughed. "I hadn't planned to; I was going to watch Anne. But what the hell, why not?' Mary went into the changing room, emerging shortly wearing the robe Anne had used. For Anne, it had been...
Introduction By the time they reached Los Angeles, the show had shaken down to a truly professional presentation. Everything had gone as expected in New York, with one important exception. But after that, Chicago and San Francisco were a lark. In New York, when Anne and Saul came on stage for the first time there was routine applause, then silence except for the background music. The video camera caught them as they entered, then zoomed to a closer shot of Anne's upper body, her face and...
"It was a wonderful party, that's for sure," Saul began. "In addition to having a great time, did we learn anything from it, as far as Virtual Jewelry goes?" "I figured out one thing, Saul," Anne said, "I'm not going another New Years without a swimming pool." "Well, I agree, but we can't do anything now, and when spring comes, we'll think about it as an improvement project. Now, what about Virtual Jewelry?" Mary said, "I think it was a great success, everyone enjoyed it,...
Kendal came and picked me up after church and brunch. We were meeting Tami, Missy, and Harper at the airport. Tami had gone home with Harper over the weekend. They had stayed for graduation at Wesleyan. The girls were excited about their big adventure. It turned out that they were seated with Kendal and Clare. Did I really want all of them comparing notes? I boarded first class to find a kid a little older than I was, was sitting in my seat. I hate it when that happens. "Hey, I think...
The first thing they did Friday afternoon was review their exams. Mary set up a spreadsheet and entered how each of them had answered on each of the three exams. With a few keystrokes, she compiled the results. "I won't bore you with details: printout on the way. Our average grade on the three exams is 98%. High is 100%, low 96%. Based on what we know of the correct answers, we're on course." English was the only common subject for the coming week; the other exams coming up were...
Thursday afternoon after history, Anne and Mary drove to the mall. They wandered through the aisles, selected a toaster oven and looked at several big, colorful throw pillows. Mary plumped one fat cushion that was at least a yard square. "I wouldn't mind getting laid on top of this." "If we buy it, you probably will. More than once." Immediately, Mary put the pillow in their basket. Anne added more like it. "What if they don't agree? Maybe they'll hate each other." "Terrible....
Anne met Will and Mary's plane. Waiting for the bags, Anne clung to Will, kissing him and hugging. When they got home, Mary started the round of hugs with the others, Anne took Will upstairs. At supper, Sigrid said, "Should we call them, Mary?" "No, Sigrid, let's make up a tray. I'll take it up." Alex went with her, knocked on the door and opened it. Mary went in with the tray. Will and Anne were lying in the bed, spent but joined. Anne's face shone with joy. Mary set the tray on a...
Anne and Mary walked into the Student Union for lunch, chatting like magpies. They'd arranged to join one another at noon one or two days a week — "girl time", they called it. Today, Sigrid was missing. As they went through the cafeteria line, Anne noticed a woman sitting alone at a table. "Isn't that Louise Whatsername?" she asked Mary. "You know, from North College?" "Yeah, I think so. It's not the same Louise we knew — at least from her looks. Something's happened for her....
Another exam on Wednesday. History in the afternoon. I think I nailed every question. Coming out, though, I didn't feel the high I usually feel when I've aced an exam. I moseyed toward the Union, knowing that Mary was posing. I still had unfinished business. I realized what was wrong with me when I ran into Saul. He looked down at me with that smile he has. It gave me goose bumps. "Hi, Anne. You look good." I decided to take the bull by the horns, or something. "Saul Katz, if you...
I was putting laundry away when Mary came into our room. "Got a minute?" "Always, for you. What's the matter? You've been looking down the last day or so." "I've been thinking about that trip to Fairplay. It was so wonderful, everything I would have dreamed of a year ago, if I hadn't known it was impossible." "From what you said about it, it must have been. How come you're feeling low? Backlash?" We sat down on the bed. The sunshine coming through the open window ended not...
"Welcome, Iris, to your first Friday meeting. I can't tell you how glad we are to have you with us. Why don't you start off by telling us what happened with Linda Moore?" "I went back to L.A. Monday, Anne. Went straight to Linda's even though it was evening; she asked me to come. She's planning a party the weekend after next and wants everyone to dress virtual. I showed her a bunch of things Heather gave me, and I was wearing a virtual blouse when I showed up there. She nearly jumped...
"I have a letter from Jimmy Lin in San Francisco. He wants to talk to us about some kind of cross-marketing agreement. He sent us a catalog before. We were going to look into it further, but we never did. " "Who's he again?" Saul asked. Anne said, "He's the guy who sent us his catalog of Asian erotica, bought a few pieces from us. Here's the catalog from our files." "More than a few, Anne," Sigrid said. "I put a watch on that account and they've bought quite a few more Erotics...
Call me "Ishmael." (hold on, Herman Melville estate, that was a simple typo.) Call me Emma, Emma Gravel. I own and manage a revival movie theater in glorious San Francisco, where I will go after stopping at Boudin's Bakery for a steaming bowl of butternut squash soup with walnuts and dried cranberries, all dumped into a crispy, crunchy sourdough bread bowl. (Fuck "Rice-A-Roni", this is the true San Francisco treat.) Watching the always napping sea lions on Pier 39, which cheers me every...
LesbianI had a boyfriend who lived in San Francisco, and would frequently fly-up to be with him. While there are a lot of attractive Asian women up there, he always expressed how special I was. I'm sure it had to do with my exhibitionism and my accomplished art of cock teasing. But really, I'm an attractive Asian women in my early 30's, divorced with no children. I work-out regularly and maintain a sexy figure and like to dress as sexy as I can get away with for the given occasion. For all you...
ExhibitionismJennifer's CumPulsion II: A Night in San Francisco By Jennifer James [email protected] In late fall 2000 I was on a trip to the Bay Area, and found myself with a day off. After a week of running (both in girl and guy mode), it was nice to have the time to take a nice slow bath, and to leisurely shave my legs, underarms, bikini line, testicles, and face (I have very little body hair anywhere else - lucky me!) Getting out of the tub, I lotioned all over, and poured...
Hello friends, this is Jeet from San Francisco. It’s been a long time that i posted my last story. I had so many incidents but didn’t get enough time to pen them down. I did all of my schooling in India and college here. Last week i met my school teacher here in San Francisco… After almost 10 years… I had crush on her since 9th grade. That was year 2001. She (Anita) joined our school and she was 22 only. Fresh from college, English teacher… She was 5’7 32-24-30 very slim and fair in...
No, this isn't about the seminal DiMeola-McLaughlin-DeLucia performance. This is the true story of how I was simply destroyed last night by a perfectly amazing woman. Unlike most of my longer stories, this one is almost just a bit of an aside. It's nothing more than an e-mail I sent to a friend of mine here at SOS who calls himself Eldridge. He's the author of "Conflicted," one of this site's most popular series. I simply had to write down my thoughts on what happened last night,...
"Sarah, I asked you to come because we need your help and advice. I want to start a riding class for 12- to 15-year-old girls." "Fine with me. You mentioned that a while ago. Why the turnaround?" "Jane Pinski. I told you I found her crying. It's really gotten to me. I want to teach riding, that's what I like to do — what I'm good at. But if I do this, I want the class to help these girls deal with the bullying and all the hassle they face in school from the boys. I've been thinking...
The next Friday they talked about Christmas and beyond. Everyone was going home. Tom and Saul and Sigrid would fly together. They decided to return to campus a week early to 'get a running start'. Mary took the floor. "I'm going to be looking for houses when I get back. Has everyone got an okay for the money from their folks?... Good." "What are we looking for?" Tom asked. Mary said, "Start with this, then let's talk. Three bedrooms, two full baths if possible, living room, dining...
The four men met for supper at the Union, taking their trays to a table in a corner. When they had settled down, Saul said, "Thanks for coming, Tom and Alex. We all know we're here because of Anne and Mary. Both of you met them before either Will or me. I thought it might be a good start if we all tell how we met these ladies." As they ate, each one told how he had come to know the two women. Saul's tale of near disaster with Anne broke the group up with laughter, and Will re-created his...
I really enjoy being with Tom. He's just as funny and warm as Saul, without the self-assurance. Taking him to bed Sunday night really made us both feel wonderful. On Monday, though, at lunch, when Sigrid walked up to me in the Union, I had a kind of uneasy feeling. Certainly just misplaced guilt. "Are you Mary Travis?" 'Why beat around the bush?' I thought. "Right. You're Sigrid, but I don't have your last name." "Sigrid Sorenson. I wanted to ask if you and Anne will be home...
After Wednesday classes, Will, Alex and I hit the supermarket. We got all the stuff I needed for Thanksgiving dinner, plenty of beer. The guy at the liquor store even let us buy a nice bottle of wine. He knows us pretty well by now. We stopped for supper at the Union. No point in paying extra or trying to make supper in an unfamiliar kitchen. And the weather was cold enough so nothing would spoil in the car. At Henry's house, we put stuff away, looked around. Two big bedrooms with big...
"Shit!" Sigrid said. She was opening the mail. "What's up?" Heather asked. "Doctor says I have a bad pap smear. Wants me to do another." "Kind of scary. But, Mom told me smears turn up a lot of false positives. Probably nothing. Want me to come with you?" "No, she'll just take another and send me another post card. But, you can hold my hand until I get it." "Okay." "Mom, it's Heather. Sorry to bother you at work... Sigrid needs to talk to you." "Judith?... My doctor...
When I got up on Monday it was sunny and warm for mid-November, so I wore my Polartec and a pair of those really tight ski pants with half-boots. The Polartec feels nice and fuzzy on my breasts and it almost covers my buns. The zipper neck lets me control the draft. I didn't need a coat. I thought it looked pretty good. After lunch, Saul waved frantically at me as I started to leave the Union, so I went to where he was sitting. "Dad left a message on my answering machine over the weekend....
On Friday, everyone had marks from the previous week's exams. The group average did turn out to be 98.7%. Mary ran another review and estimate — the prediction for that week's exams was similar. "Now, all we have to do is keep working at this level," Tom said. "I was kind of worried at first, but I seem to have gotten a lot of confidence from working with the group. Thanks." Will said, "Okay, now something else. Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks off. What are everyone's...
On Sunday, Mary cuddled in Alex's arm on the breakfast cushions. "Will, can we look at the sketches you've been doing?" "You mean the ones of us? In this book." "Uh-huh. Thanks." Mary began paging through the book. Alex stopped her. "Slow down. I want to see these better." As they went more slowly through the pages, Alex became visibly aroused. "Better give the rest of us a look, too," said Anne, as she picked crumbs off Saul's thigh. "Alex is having too much fun...
Tuesday afternoon, when I got back to the room after the English exam, I saw Mary's panties on the bedroom door. I sat down at my desk and thought about going through the economics notes again. But when I heard Mary laugh, I got up, put on my coat again and left the room. At the Art School, Siggy, the secretary, recognized me. "Hi, Anne. Are you posing today?" "No, I'm looking for Will Spector. Would you have any idea where he is?" I grinned at her, "Do you even know who he...
Alex had the morning shift at the store. Two or three customers came in, looked at the stationery, wandered back to look at the Life Studies and left. He made one sale to a rugged Junior, taking the picture and quickly creating the graphic. When the fellow okayed the proof, Alex ran the copier and packaged the stationery. The man paid up and left. A girl came in asking about stationery for herself, decided to wait until there was a woman on duty in the afternoon. Shortly before lunch, a...
