I had become pretty well-known at my ratty apartment building, being, by now, a half-baked celebrity in Baltimore. Oh, I was still a long way from famous. When we were on the road, I was just another black dude on the street.

But at home, I was getting recognized much more frequently.

This made it tougher than ever for Maria and me to maintain our relationship in secret. Finally I made an attempt to solve the problem by leasing a single-family house in the deep northern suburbs. The house wasn't anything particularly remarkable, but it was fully furnished and was situated on a huge plot of land, with no close neighbors and with trees all around.

It had a two-car garage with separate doors that operated by remote control. The first time I saw Maria, I presented her with her own key and a garage-door opener.

The rent was ridiculously high, but I thought it was money well spent if we could enjoy some privacy and have some hope of remaining undiscovered through the next several weeks.

I met Maria there late on Thursday night at the conclusion of the three-game series with New York. We'd managed only one win in three games, so the Yankees had left town still one game in front of us. Friday morning, we would fly to Tampa Bay for our final four-game set with the Devil Rays.

Baltimore had just lost five of six against our two strongest Division rivals, Boston and New York. Unless the Devil Rays would lay down and play dead for us, we were going to be in deep trouble in the second half of September.

Not for the first time, I voiced to Maria my misgivings about Paul's behavior in that first Yankee game.

"What do you suppose he was thinking?" I asked her. "He's always handled me as a spot specialist against lefties. Always! Now he leaves me in against this kid I'd never heard of -- a right-handed hitter -- in the opening game of a crucial series!"

"I seem to remember your grumbling from time to time about being used so infrequently," Maria said. "And you always thought you could get right-handers out, if only you were given a chance."

"That's true," I admitted. "I never particularly liked being jerked out of games so quickly. But I was just -- y'know -- happy to be here, and didn't really question it. Anyway, it was working! Paul seemed to be right, the way he was handling me."

"It's maybe one of those 'be careful what you ask for' situations," Maria said.

"Yeah. But I just don't understand it. On the one hand, I was happy -- at the time -- to be allowed to stay in. Sure, I was surprised, but -- happy. On the other hand, I still don't get why Paul did it. I just hope it didn't have something to do with you and me. --Maybe, unconsciously, Paul took our relationship into account."

"Can't see it," Maria said.

"How do you mean?"

"We both know that, for Paul, the team comes first. He's not going to be deterred by personal considerations. He's going to do whatever he can to assure that the Orioles win. I can't believe, even for a minute, that he took anything else into account."

"Maybe I ought to ask him."

"It might not be something he'll be able to articulate. Even a by-the-book manager like Paul will play a hunch once in awhile," she said.

"You don't think I ought to ask him?"

"What do you say to him, exactly? --'Jeez, Paul, what were you thinking, there, leaving me in to face a fearsome Yankee rookie rightie?'"

"Yeah, you're right. If I ask, it'll sound like I'm trying to put the blame on Paul for my own failure."

"Let it go," Maria advised. "If he does more stuff that, to you, seems peculiar, you could maybe talk to Arlie Stone about it, see what he thinks."

"Good advice. You're right."

"I'm really glad you got this house!" Maria said. "It's way better than your old place, and it's nice to drive down that long driveway, press the garage-door button, and, bingo -- instant privacy!"

"If a person spent a little money, this could be a really nice house, too," I said. "Might be a nice place to live, even after we come out of the closet."

"Is it for sale?"

"It's not on the market, no -- but I think it might be available, if I asked. The agent said the owner didn't expect to return to Baltimore to live."

"The rent you're paying, it might be the owner's major source of income!" she said.

I laughed. The rental rate was, indeed, outrageous.

"How are you feeling these days about -- us?" I asked Maria.

"I'm feeling great! Why do you ask?"

"Well. I mean, before, we were sneaking around, hiding from Paul. I thought maybe that made it, y'know, more exciting for you -- gave being with me a little extra Forbidden Fruit quality."

Sneaking Out By Semiater (M+/f+, interracial, teen, toys, slavery, B/D, S/M, nc, rape)The knock at the window was barely audible. Ally quietly slid open the frame. ?Where have you been??

Miss Marks The New Head Mistress Chapter Eight Sneaking Out

My Best Friend 8 Sneaking Over Pt 1

I walked into my home, “Mom…Dad. I’m home.” My house was quiet. Which really didn’t surprise me. I looked at the time and saw that it read 8:27pm. I spoke to myself, “Strange they should be home by now.” Normally my parents work strange hours and most of the time because of their work they usually travel a lot. When I was a kid I got used to babysitters or relatives taking care of me. Now that I’m old enough to take care of myself I got used to coming home to an empty house. But I couldn’t...

Sneaking In root story

This one is one you, dear reader. I started this story a while back (around the same time as the Gum story), but I don't really have the gumption to finish - life happens, you know. So, I'm asking the great Fictionmania community to help me out with this one. Below is the set up for how the story should go. However, I kept some of the details vague on purpose. This is where you come in. Could you please finish my story? I'm curious about how many different ways this can go. All...

Hermione Granger and the Sneaking Spell

"Akobabae lumaho," Hermione read quietly, carefully going over every syllable. It was just after dinner, but she was already in bed. Her curtains were drawn shut despite Gryffindor's girls dormitory being nearly empty. The witch's heart was beating at a maddening pace that threatened to rip a hole through her tee shirt. She struggled to control her breathing enough to allow her to repeat the words, but her thoughts were whirling out of control. A high-pitched, mad, sort of giggle escaped her...

Sneaking Out

Samantha paced across her bedroom as she waited for Trent to call. Thoughts of being caught sneaking out filled her head and she grew more nervous. Even though she was eighteen, her parents were still very strict. Suddenly her cell phone rang. Samantha's heart pounded as she answered. The caller id read: "Trent." She cleared her throat and opened the phone. "Hello?" "Hey. What's up?" "Not a lot, you?" "Not too much. I'm almost there. Are ya' ready?" "Pretty much. You know where to stop,...

Nevelle Longbottom and the Sneaking Spell

Two days before Harry's discovery of the Sleeping Spell, he had suggested making certain members of Dumbledore's Army privy to the power of the Sneaking Spell. His friends had agreeed, but advised keeping the number low to prevent their weapon falling in the wrong hands, In the end, two members were chosen: Ginny Weasley and Nevelle Longbottom. Ginny wondered aloud whether Harry had used the spell to spy on her. In fact, he frequently had, as had Ron and Hermione. Harry and company wisely chose...

My Best Friend 10 Sneaking Over Conclusion

I quickly jump off Amanda and start looking around to find a place to hide. I watch as Amanda fumbles and tries to get the sheets around her. I watch shadows form under the door frame. Crap. I was still standing nearly in the middle of the room while Amanda was already under her covers in her bed. I looked around deciding my options. I could hide in Amanda’s closest but I decided against it. I could try to hide in Amanda’s huge pile of stuffed animals that she still had…that could work. I...

Lost With Nothing to Lose14 Sneaking Out to Meet a Paramour

“I’ve got to say,” Gary said as they approached the Zssizliq vessel. “All this sneaking around is akin to a young maiden climbing out her window to meet her paramour in a tale as old as Shakespeare.” “Except, the young maidens weren’t put to death when caught sneaking back into the house,” Al cautioned. “What we’re doing is a bit more serious. This act is clearly treasonous. Still, it’s our only hope for saving ourselves and resolving this never-ending war the Tandorians are trapped in. It’s...

An Incestuous Episode My Oldest Niece

My niece Susan is now 38-year's old. I have watched her and her two sisters growing up from infancy to womanhood. Although I was always somewhat of a moral degenerate I never tried anything with any of the three girls; all of who were extremely pretty and big breasted. Susan was the oldest. She also was both the tallest and the most slender. Until she married and had three kids of her own she actually was a skinny girl. The only flesh on her were her breasts, which were full. Over the years...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 3 Alex and the Boosters

We had a game that night against Toronto, but the civic club's meeting was at high noon, and my talk was only supposed to run a half-hour or less, so there was no conflict. As requested, I met with Paul Warren's wife, Orlie, a half-hour before the luncheon at the Sheraton in downtown Baltimore. Orlie Martinez Warren was a tiny, forty-something dark-haired beauty who'd kept her figure and had a dazzling smile. She thanked me profusely for filling in for Brian Roberts on short notice, and...

The GodgranddaughterChapter 5 The Oldest Profession Updated

As I mentioned, my home and my mother’s workplace, as my sexual journey began, were in a suburb once considered “in the mountains”, a place for resorts. Our place had been one of the small resorts. A number of the larger ones had become assisted living communities. How can prostitution be the oldest profession? How would the customers have earned the fees? For a given engagement in the sex industry, we called the project/engagement leader the producer. A senior producer might manage...

Sneaking into my office

Glancing around the street as one car passes, doubt floods your mind, yet you feel a burning excitement. You watch the car vanish into the distance and you exhale one long slow breath, to calm your body. Reaching into your purse, you check your phone one last time and then power it down, to make sure there will be no interruptions. Your hands shake, you feel the heat start between your legs and course through your body. Eyes close for a moment as your fingers burn with desire and your skin...

Sneaking into my gfrsquos sisters room

So I’ve had a girlfriend for about five years now and I haven’t cheated on her once... well not technically cheat per say but every so often I will sneak into her sisters room and peak in her underwear drawers. Both her and her sister still live with her parents. Her sister is much more sexy than she is and only a few years older and I think she sort of has a thing for me as she’d often walk in to my girlfriends room wearing just a towel, one time dropping it “accidentally” exposing her fat ass...

Sneaking a QuickieChapter 3

"Christina!" Her father's voice was booming against the silence of the night. My girlfriend's head popped off my cock, her eyes wide with panic. Amy went rigidly still above my face. Oh, SHIT. There was a flurry of activity as both girls hurried into their nightshirts. I looked around, trying to stay calm but totally freaked out about what I should do. In the end, Amy literally rolled me underneath the bed while Christina went to the door. I was cold, naked, and trapped in this...

My Best Friend 9 Sneaking Over pt 2

I walked my way towards Amanda’s place. I had already taken my bath and gotten my body semi relaxed. I didn’t want to take too long bathing, so I only laid in there for maybe twenty minutes. The image that Amanda had sent me made me shorten my bath and quickly gotten dressed. Now only maybe forty minutes had passed since I said I would be at Amanda’s. I didn’t want to arrive at her place with her sleeping that would be a total bummer. I wanted to sprint over to her place but I was afraid I...

4 My High School Sweethearts Little Sister pt 4 sneaking back in

I drove from her house and parked a couple of blocks away on a side street where my car wouldn’t be recognized. I sat in the car, heart racing, for about 20-minutes. I knew what I was planning was dangerous, but I couldn’t help it. I walked back to the house, snuck around to the back, and over to the side door on the lower level. If it was locked, Cindy didn’t want me sneaking into her room. I would be safe from my own destructive sexual urges, which I found uncontrollable at the moment. ...

Worlds Apart

Worlds ApartW. L. Telford1Ross Edwards walked from a good meeting into a bad day. More than a bad day. He stepped into hell. But as he moved along the corridor from the conference room to his private office on the 33rd floor of the TXK Building, facing south, overlooking the Straits of Singapore and a roadstead full of ships waiting to offload cargo, he had no inkling that in a few more minutes his life would change irrevocably. Instead he was going over the details of the deal he had just...

Worlds ApartChapter 4 Worlds Apart

‘It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.’ That was the line that Jamie’s father had fed him, followed by a lecture about how he shouldn’t mope and how he needed to come out of his room because he was missing practice. Everyone treated their relationship like puppy love, a phase that Jamie would grow out of, as though the connection that he and Liz had shared hadn’t been genuine. It made him bitter and angry on top of being heartbroken by Liz’s absence. He had...

Chris BeakerChapter 5 Long Distance Runaround

The next week was quieter, the only alert coming from Nemesis as it appeared that Perkins tried to stay away from all contact with his mysterious boss, and it seemed that he had managed it. Perkins received an email which he read quickly and discarded – Nemesis could only see part of it, for which he apologised but since he didn't have direct access to Perkins' computer there wasn't much he could do about it. I quickly made an amendment to Nemesis structure to allow him to access any...

Sneaking Out

I sleep in the nude, and I’m the only one in the house who does. I’m married, and we have two daughters in high school. The elder, Amanda, just got her driver’s license and is the chauffeur for her sister and her friends. There are rules of course, and a curfew of ten o’clock, and going out only on weekends. One night, midweek, I heard a noise at the other end of the house and got up to check it out. I heard a noise coming up the stairs from the basement, where the girls sleep, so I quickly...

Dreamworlds

It happened in an instant. You, a young man about 6 foot-two-inches in height and who is about 23 years of age, had fallen asleep after playing video games and doing coursework on a Tuesday night. You were studying for the chapter finals of a course covering theories and concepts on the existence of multiple universes. And you thought you were ready, when you awoke the next morning not to the familiar sights of your room, but to a confusing sight of dunes and endless sands. Your first question...

My Boldest Dream Come True

I have always loved old women. When I was young all of my friends were into girls more or less their own age. Once in a while, a friend of mine would find a mother hot but nobody was into old women. Only I was. And I mean old, women in their sixties, which was very old for a teenager. My own grandmother was not even that old at the time. I loved Sunday church because I could oogle the old ladies. At home I would fantasize getting bathed by them and spying on them to get a glimpse of their...

Sneaking into a shower

I take my time making sure no one is coming down the street and that no one is watching through a window. I slowly stand up from my crouching and slip my finger tips into the bottom of her window. I pull up slightly and to my surprise I find it to be open. I wonder if she always keeps it open, or if this is just a recent thing. I slide the window up more and more slowly trying my hardest not to make a sound. I climb through the window, carefully stepping over her night stand. I finally get...

Lewd Tales 8211 Part 3 Sneaking Aunt

Follow up on previous parts to understand the story. Narrated by David. It’s been two days since I saw Leah masturbating. I peeped into her room for the next two days but could only find her sleeping. I was getting disappointed. But, trust me, even watching her sleep now made my dick twitch. The two days were uneventful, except for the occasional glances I could steal at aunt’s and Leah’s body. They showed enough skin, which would make a man horny. Leah wore shorts around the house, and aunt...

Sneaking a QuickieChapter 2

Christina turned so that only I could see her face, and she gave me rather irritated look. "What the hell happened last night?" she hissed. Did I do something wrong? She'd seemed to enjoy our sex romp. My blank face did nothing to mollify her. "You were supposed to wake me up at midnight and you never came. Did you set your alarm? Because that was your big opportunity and I'm not sure we'll get another one." Never came to wake her up? Missed opportunity? What the? And in the corner...

Mom caught me sneaking out

Note : This story is completely fictional! Hello, my name is Jessica. I am 18 years old, about to finish my last year in high school. I'm rather short, standing at 5'2". The women in my family have all shared a similar body type. I on the other hand do not. My mother, Sam(short for Samantha) stands at an average height of 5'7" with a slender build. I am short, like I said, and am not skinny. Now, I'm not fat, or even thick, I just don't share my mother's slender build. I suppose the biggest...

The Oldest Dance

Sylvia Mills would not have expected as dull a person as Kevin Dooley was to know about a spot as interesting as this one was. Like a lot of dance places, the prices for food and drink were high. But Sylvia loved to dance, and she was willing to go there with Kevin for that. Not that he was really good at it, or that she would ever consider doing much else with him, any of the things that he really wanted to do with her. But she was happy to use him and his money. The dinner before they...

My Oldest Niece

After my shower I went downstairs and my wife had my breakfast on the table. I sat down to eat but hurried so I wouldn’t miss my plane. “Remember dear, you are meeting my niece on Thursday night for dinner” my wife reminded me. I remembered. I am meeting my wife’s niece Tara for dinner. Tara was a gorgeous woman. My wife was only three years older than Tara but Tara looked like she was 22.

My oldest

Its probably appropriate that Pat is my most recent and ongoing dalliance while being my ‘oldest’ as my libido slows to a more sedate pace.I am now retired with the time to relate a lifetime of experiences and all with mature women. All my stories are true in essence and only some dialogue and scenes embellished to improve the story flow. I have spent my life seeking sexual exploits and each of my stories is either a real experience for me or related to me by one of the participants....

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 2 Early Birds

Life in the Orioles' spring training camp was a big improvement over my experience in the last couple of years. With Tampa, I never got the impression that anyone expected me to be anything but their last-resort relief backup, stored away down in Durham. With Baltimore, I got treated almost like a veteran. Several of the regulars took the time to come by and introduce themselves, and tried to make me feel at home. A couple of them said something about how the club "really needed a good...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 4 Orlie and Paul

"Tell me about Alex Osborn," Orlie said to Paul Warren late that evening, after the game as the two of them prepared for bed. Orlie had already told Paul, with considerable enthusiasm, how well-received Alex's speech to the Boosters had been. "I don't know all that much to tell," Paul said. "I know he's bounced around the minors for a long time, never quite making it." "Yes, I heard about some of that. He seems to think you're the first one to ever really give him a shot." "I...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 5 I Just Met a Girl Named Maria

We kept winning all through May, and were in first place on the first of June. We had just arrived in Seattle at the beginning of a nine-games-in-ten-days, three-cities road trip. The Orioles had won four in a row at home before heading west. All three clubs we'd meet on this run -- Seattle, Oakland and the Angels of Lost Anaheim (or whatever the hell they were calling themselves this year) -- were tough. All three clubs were over .500 for the year and ready to make a try at bringing us...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 6 Family Night

I saw Maria at Camden Yards one afternoon when I was leaving the workout room. "Who are you working for this week?" I asked. "Ticket sales," Maria said. "--not your most exciting division, but, hey, I'm helping to pay your fat salary!" "If everybody's salary was as low as mine," I told her, "you wouldn't have to sell nearly as many tickets." "Yeah, I don't know how you manage to get by," she said, smiling. Maria was a baseball brat. She knew what the minimum salary for...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 7 Orlie and Maria

The picnic was scheduled for a weeknight, because the team always had a game to play on weekend nights. As usual, the event was well-attended. Paul Warren had worried, in the first year or two after establishing this little tradition, that players would somehow feel compelled to show up. He always made it as clear as he possibly could to everyone that they could come, or not, as they chose. Somewhat to his surprise, year after year, virtually everyone he invited showed up. At least, everyone...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 8 Keeping My Distance

We wrapped up the home stand, still winning, and were on the road again by late Thursday. I hadn't seen Maria since picnic night, three days earlier. That had been deliberate on my part. If you don't know what to do with a girl, the best thing to do with her is nothing. We had the White Sox, then the Twins, and then Detroit before we would be back in Baltimore for a lengthy series of games at home before the All-Star break. I hadn't gotten the call to pitch in several days, but it didn't...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 9 Just Cuddling

The hallway on Marie's floor was free of traffic when I furtively used the key she'd provided to open her door and steal inside. The room was completely dark. "Maria?" Oh, Jesus! What if this was some kind of elaborate prank? I imagined the lights suddenly coming on and finding myself in a room with Paul Warren and Arlie Stone. Or maybe with Maria and three of her college chums. But the lights didn't come on. Maybe she'd fallen asleep. Then I heard her disembodied voice from some...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 10 Phone Sex

Maria had agreed that we wouldn't see one another again until the team got back to Baltimore several days later. But that wasn't going to keep her from calling me on the telephone. Sunday night, when we had just arrived in Minneapolis, I got a call in the hotel room from, according to the desk clerk, "Charlize Jones." It was Maria. "Charlize Jones?" I asked. "Half Charlize Theron, half Catherine Zeta Jones," Maria explained. "How many women do you know named "Charlize?" I...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 11 Its the Real Thing

It was after three in the morning when I finally unlocked the door to my ratty little apartment and stepped inside. I was weary from the long road trip, that night's long night game, the long flight back to Baltimore, and the long commute into town from the airport. I considered just dropping off to sleep in the guest bedroom and not waking Maria until morning. Or maybe she had never actually made it over. Maybe my bed was just waiting for the Lone Ranger, as usual. But, no. The kitchen...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 12 Walking on Eggs

We had the Oakland A's in town for the opening of our home stand that night, and Shiggie Nomura, our ace lefty starter, held them hitless for six full innings. But in the seventh, Shiggie suddenly lost it and damned if the A's didn't hit him up for back-to-back homers! The bases were empty for both of them, so we were still up 3-2, but there was nobody out, and Paul called the bullpen and got Gene Holtz and me both up-and-throwing real quick. Shiggie walked the next two hitters, one of...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 13 Whoops

We were doing very well indeed -- both on the field and off, as August wore on. We'd come back from the brief New York and Boston road trip 4-2, and after sweeping Toronto three games at home we were gone again -- this time to Kansas City and St. Louis. We were completing the season series with the Royals, and we had to make up two rained-out interleague games with the Cardinals -- postponements from much earlier in the season. The only available makeup date had been that Thursday in late...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 14 Peace Conference

I got a very late call that night from Maria. She kept crying and apologizing for getting me into this mess, and I kept reassuring her that it takes two to make a mess this big, and that I was the one who was older and ought to have had more sense. Maria stoutly denied that anything we had done was wrong, or that anything we had done suggested that we didn't have good sense. "Did Paul say anything to you?" I asked. "He said he was very disappointed in me," she said. That brought on...

Finally Paul found his voice. "You two -- want to get married?" "Yes!" Maria said. "Yes, sir," I said. "But -- you're just a..." "No, Daddy, I'm not just a kid!" Maria responded vehemently. In November of this year, less than two months from now, I will be twenty years old!" "I think that's wonderful!" Orlie said. "Do you have a ring?"

Boston had recaptured third place in our Division during August, with the hapless Devil Rays fading down the stretch, but the Sox were only a pale memory of what they'd been, a few years back when they'd won it all.

Of course, we had stunk up Camden Yards pretty regularly lately, so maybe some foreign air would do us good. We had four more in Tampa Bay, then back home to Baltimore briefly to entertain Toronto for four games, and then on the road again, winding up the season in New York and Boston -- three games each. Tampa Bay, perhaps dispirited by their collapse in the second half, laid down and died for us,...

Worlds Oldest RookieChapter 19 American League Championship Series

You've gotta be good to get into the playoffs, but being lucky helps, too. We had handled the Twins with uncharacteristic ease, and we felt good about it, because they were a tough, tenacious bunch. But even tougher for us, season-long, had been the Oakland A's. Oakland had to face the White Sox in their first-round playoff series, and the Oriole players paid attention, because we had scuffled against Oakland every time we'd faced them, over the past two seasons. Most of the time,...
