Still Johanna:
Semester's over. Christmas break. And this was new. Ever since I started school, Christmas break was with Mom and Dad, even in college. Well, this year, people, it's different. Little Johanna Elise Solheim is now Mrs. Randall Jackson and with that status comes a whole new life. Christmas dinner.
"Do you think we can manage something close to a Christmas dinner, Stoney?"
He smiled. "Yeah, I think we can do that, in a restrained fashion."
"Turkey. Little one. With dressing. Those mashed potatoes you do. I like 'em. Mom and Dad will. Something vegetably. Something saladish. And a pie or two. We both do it. I take the credit," I giggled.
"I'll let you," he said.
A tree. "Real tree," I said. "Did you do one last year?"
My Stoney shook his head in the negative. "No. Not just for me."
"It doesn't have to be a big tree, but can we?" Why is it that THIS guy makes me wanna go all Normal Rockwell or Currier and Ives?
My guy smiled. "Little Christmas tree it is..."
So here's my little home, complete with husband and Christmas tree and somebody donated a cookbook so the air one evening was filled with the sweet spicy aroma of gingerbread. Of course, the gingerbread was constructed by my husband as I serenaded him on my flute.
The counterpoint to that one day is me making cornbread while he played banjo. "Cornbread and banjo music go together," he told me.
"But we're having it with red beans and rice. That's a Louisiana thing. Shouldn't you be playing the accordion?"
"All I got's a banjo. You get a banjo."
Giggle. "No, I got a Stoney. He happens to have a banjo." While the cornbread was baking we played duets. That's life now. Duets. Sure, we're both perfectly capable of solos, but duets are where the real action is. I voiced that opinion to Stoney.
"Uh, redhead, somebody could take that very much wrong."
I smiled. "Those people can take it any way they want to take it. It's true in so many ways."
"Well, I don't mind solo banjo, and solo reading, and solo bathing, but there's one thing that I just don't think I'll ever resort to a solo again."
Okay, Jo. Put the flute down. Go attack Stoney.
Stoney likes being attacked. Attacks right back. The battle is epic. We both end up dead. But that wasn't while I had cornbread in the oven.
One of these days I'm gonna get off the Pill and I'll have something else in the oven. We've talked. We want at least one child, maybe two. Stoney wants one like me and I want one like him and Mom says she doesn't care, either or both would be just fine but the line of Solheim should go on, even if the name ends with me. In the meantime, Stoney and I have a lot of fun practicing.
Practicing? Oh, we're dead serious about it, lovemaking, I mean. It's like a lot of music: infinite variations on themes. I never imagined that I'm this interested in the male physique. I, after listening to my classmates, had determined that I could manage passable enthusiasm. I didn't count on being in love with Stoney and the fire that flew when we kissed and touched.
Now it's something I daydream about. And get all warm and sticky and then when I get home I sometimes wonder what Stoney thinks I'm doing when I grab his hand and pull him towards the bedroom. Or the living room. Or the kitchen. Or the laundry room.
He doesn't complain, though.
Phone call. Not a number I recognize. "Hi! This Johanna!"
Soft, young female voice. "I have this number for Rara Avis. Am I correct?"
"Yes, you are. What can I do for you?"
"Did I say it right?"
"You did."
"You're here in the city?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"How busy is your schedule? Would a one-week notice be too short?"
"Excuse me, but may I ask who you are?"
Little squeal. "Sorry. I don't do this. I saw you and Stoney at the last concert for the university orchestra. And somebody told me about Rara Avis. They did say you might have been just kidding." She took a deep breath. "I'm Kara Sevinsky. I study music. High school. A bunch of us are sort of serious about it."
"And what is it that you'd like to do? I mean, you called..."
"We'd like to know how much to get you to play for a couple of hours..."
"Wait a second," I said. "You're with a bunch of high school musicians and you want us to play for you. And you want to know what that costs?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Please don't call me 'ma'am', Kara. I'm your age, almost."
"Sorry if I bothered you. I thought it might be a stretch. Calling, I mean."
"You haven't bothered me, Kara. I'm sort of intrigued. You wanted me and Stoney to play?"
"Yes. I thought it was spectacular, the way you two interacted, that he could play Mozart on a banjo and that you just sort of melded with him. Our group is interested in what else you two may do with music."
"How many of your group were there?"
"Me and three others."
"Where would you be asking us to perform?"
"You'd have to tell us what size of a venue you require," Kara said. "We will provide it."
"You ... How were you planning on paying for this?"
"Dad and Mom owe me a Christmas present. I turned down a new car. They can afford it."
"Wow!" I squeaked.
"Dad's a pretty significant trial lawyer," Kara said. "You might've heard of him." She said a name.
Yes, I know the name. And there's a face to go with it, because he does TV and billboard advertisements. Stoney and I were watching TV one night when one of those commercials came on.
"You know why lawyers always wear ties?" Stoney asked me.
"No," I said. Sometimes I'm soooo innocent.
"To keep the foreskins from sliding up over their faces."
Snorted cocoa through my nose. "Stoney! Really!"
I'd feel a whole lot worse about making that joke if you weren't trying to stifle a giggle," he said.
Okay, so Kara is THAT lawyer's daughter. Sins of the father, and all that. She sounds nice, so we'll see where it goes.
"I've heard of him, Kara," I said. "But I wasn't thinking about charging for this. Why don't we just get together and play? Do you ... where do you and your friends meet?"
"My house or Linnie's house. She's, like, on the same block. We both have BIG rec rooms."
"I need to talk to Stoney." I paused. "Would you be interested in having an oboist, too?"
"That black girl? She was standing with you after the concert?"
"Yeah. Key! Keshia, actually. She might want to come along."
"Cool!" Kara said.
"Are you all serious musicians?" I questioned.
"We're in high school, but yes, I am and I think you could say the rest of us are. This is sort of exploration."
"Well, let me run it past Stoney, okay?"
"Okay. Can I call you back tomorrow? And if he's okay, we can talk about when and where."
"'Kay, Kara," I said.
"Oh, thank you, Johanna," she said. "Bye."
I was mulling this over as I puttered around the kitchen waiting for Stoney to get home. Kara. Daddy's a big-time attorney. I have a picture of how HE would be, but I know better than to prejudge. She, on the other hand, sounded almost fragile. It wouldn't be the first time that I worked with high school students. Occasionally the orchestra did community outreach but this was the first time that I was ever asked on my own to perform. Well actually they asked the two of us to perform.
I was thinking that we wouldn't just perform, that we would try and interact. After all if Kara and her friends were that into music then they probably wanted to play. I think it would be a lot of fun to work with them exploring what they knew and what we knew and we can see what we could synthesize out of all that.
Stoney called me as soon as he got out of the office and on the street headed home.
"Hi baby."
"Hello there, cute little redheaded girl."
"Something interesting happened today," I said.
"Good interesting. Or bad interesting?"
"I think it's good interesting. I got a phone call asking about Rara Avis."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Hollywood? Nashville? Austin? The New York Philharmonic?"
"That would be something, wouldn't it? But it was a high school kid. Wants to know if we will play for her and her friends."
"And they want to pay us?" he asked.
"I don't know if I'll want to get paid. I mean, it's high school kids. They are into music. I don't want take advantage of them."
"But they called with the intention of paying, didn't they? And did you get a name?"
"Of course! And you're gonna love it."
"Oh, boy," he laughed. "This is probably good!"
"Remember that lawyer you made the foreskin joke about?"
"Uh, yeahhhhh."
"His daughter."
"I'm in traffic," he said. "We'll talk when I get home."
"Luvya, Stoney," I said.
"Luvya, babe," he replied and the phone clicked.
I made a final check. A lasagna was in the oven, timed to be just right when he came in the door. I put a loaf of fresh bread on the table, a couple of green salads, two wine glasses, a bottle of wine was open, breathing. Some days I just want it to LOOK special.
When he came through the door, the first thing he did was wrap me up in his arms, kissed me through my squeals.
"Look! I've been all domestic an' stuff," I squealed when he finally released me.
"Wow! Better Homes & Gardens," he said. "What's the occasion?"
"I found myself married to this guy I want to impress."
"You've already impressed the daylights out of him," Stoney smiled.
"Go wash up. I'll put the plates on the table," I said.
It was all very genteel, sitting across the table from one another, talking.
About the phone call, of course.
"So what you're saying is that we get together and do a jam session."
"Sort of," I said. "Kara says she loved how we looked at the concert."
"I knew that getting on stage was gonna end up bad," he said. Of course he was smiling. "What makes you think this is a good idea?"
"First, she called and asked. Second, I dunno, Stoney. She sounded like she was trying to grasp at something."
Stoney smiled softly. "You're not looking for a kitten, are you?"
"Noooo," I said. "Let's just see what transpires. Maybe she and her friends will be a fun bunch to play music with."
"Like that bunch that we play with..."
"Maybe that's it. Lets see what there is to it. Worst happens, we find something we don't want to deal with. From there it goes uphill."
"Optimistic little thing, aren't you?"
"Only because I know what happens after the dishes and the practice session..."
The next day I was just out of my afternoon class when my phone rang. Looked. Kara Sevinsky. "Hi, Kara," I said.
"Hi, Johanna," she said. "Did you talk with your husband?"
"Sure did," I said. "He's okay with it."
Happy sound. "Great! Now when?"
"Mondays don't work for us. That's MY practice night with my gang. Other than that ... I guess Fridays aren't good for you."
"Why?" she asked.
"Isn't that that like a big date night?"
"For some people, maybe." She sounded a bit sad.
"Look, Kara, if YOU want to come over any night, I'll give you our address. Come visit. What instrument do you play?"
We walked toward the door of the restaurant. Now I was thinking that here I am, meeting her family for the first time, and public displays of affection might not be on the agenda. After we worked our way past the maître d' (yeah, I don't usually eat at restaurants with a 'maitre d'' even though I know they exist) and into the dining room, Jo's hand hooked the inside of my arm. Apparently she knows more about me than I give her credit for. "There they are," she said, smile broadening....
"You were in the hospital for a while, I imagine," Jo said. "The whole spectrum. Infection. Orthopedics. Recovery. Rehabilitation. I do okay now, but every now and then one thing or another talks to me." "Like that walk we took in Austin," she said. "Now I understand why. You should've said something." "And miss a chance to walk down the street with you? I'm not stupid." "Sit!" she commanded, patting the sofa beside her. "Lemme go put my other clothes back on," I...
The rest of Friday dragged but eventually four-thirty came around and I was out the door. At four-forty-five I was in traffic and my phone played me a flute solo. Jo. "Hello, princess," I said. "Hi, Stoney," she said. "Are we still on for tonight?" "I'm headed home right now. Whenever you want to show up." Giggle. "I'm on the way. I'll get there about the same time you do." "Okay," I said. "I was hoping to have time to clean up, though." "You work in an office, Stoney....
Okay. So Key worries about Jo. Can't fault her for that. I worry about Jo too. It's not hard. I close my eyes, let my mind drift, and there's Jo. So she was grocery shopping on a Saturday morning. I picked up my phone, pushed the button and said "Johanna". Siri replied, "Calling Johanna Solheim mobile". I held the phone to my ear. "Hi, Stoney," she said. "Hi, my baby," I replied. "Why didn't you call?" "Let you sleep late. I'm just getting some groceries for the week. The...
We were timing things and that's what kept us moving. At my apartment there was time for the washing of faces and brushing of teeth and then there was a flurry of kisses and I'm not sure who initiated that but we ended up in a knot on the sofa, hot, breathless and quite happily bothered. She was mostly on top of me, I was noticeably erect inside my jeans, and she knew it. I know she knew it. She smiled, cradled my face between her hands and kissed me, adding a wiggle to her snuggle that...
We came up with a plan pretty quick. After all, this wasn't Columbus looking for the Spice Islands. We planned a menu. Talked about what would happen if the weather cratered on us. "We can stay home." "No," she said. "I don't have a home. Key's, well ... there's this guy she's been seeing and I told her that she'd have the place to herself. Which likely means she won't be by herself. And I get very uncomfortable with the idea of a guy staying in my apartment." "Oh." "So...
The old boat had been, from the day I brought her home and made her mine, a refuge. Yes, there were days that I brought friends along, but mainly the boat was where I went when I wanted to get away from the world. Now I was on her, and I was clothed only in my boxers and before me, beckoning, was Jo, in my mind the epitome of red-headed perfection, herself clad only in hip-hugger panties and a dark blue sports bra. And she was beautiful. Absent any light from the skylight hatch, we had a...
Sunlight pushed through the tiny cabin portholes, brighter on the starboard side because the northerly wind had our bow pointed into it, swinging at anchor. Okay. One sensation. It was morning. Second sensation. I was on my boat. Third sensation. Wasn't my boat any more, it was OUR boat, because I had a soft, naked form beside me, breathing softly. Jo. Twenty-four hours ago, she was my girlfriend. After last night, she was my wife. Unless I was dreaming. I touched the smooth skinned flank...
Going to tell everybody. "I know. I think I'm gonna lease the Goodyear blimp," I said. "Can we get rings?" "Yes, we can get rings," I said. "What does your taste in wedding rings look like?" "I think I would like a simple band. Gold. Yours?" "I shall match yours. You sure though? No large rock?" "Oh, come on, Stoney. This is me and you. Married by the light of the full moon. I need to ask Mom what the appropriate Celtic take would be." "She collected a Viking..." Jo...
Mark it on your calendar. Today's a first for me. The first time I ever woke up to a work week with my partner. The alarm went off and I did not want to get out of bed because when the music started, Jo slid down and wrapped her arms around my waist, purring. "I really don't want to leave, sweetness," I said. "But I have work to go do." "Mmmm, I know, baby. I have a class at nine, too." "Let's just do what we have to do. At the end of the day, though, we come home...
Jo is ticklish on the bottoms of her feet. A lot of people are, I know, but finding that a fingertip dragged gently down the sole of her foot leaves her uncontrollably giggly and therefor perfect for scooping into one's arms for loving. Monday was the previously discussed informal practice session. Tuesday was the real thing at the music department. Still, Jo is a responsible sort and we missed nothing of her schedule. So am I. She's an accomplished musician, and that translates to...
I didn’t have to be psychic to read Jo’s mind. The touch of her hand in mine was usually a delicate thing. This time she was tugging. I couldn’t understand, so I did the one thing that husbands have been doing since the beginning of time. I said, “Yes, dear.” “Don’t be condescending, Randall Jackson,” she said. “We need to talk.” Less than twenty-four hours since she and I stood in front of friends and family and God and pledged marriage to each other. Now I was wondering exactly what I’d...
Stoney: She loves me. She REALLY loves me. We're married. I killed a guy. I'm supposed to feel remorse. I'm supposed to receive counseling by caring professionals who will help me grieve or some such crap. Therapy? I'll tell you what therapy is. It's having the woman you just protected put her arms around you and tell you that she loves you. And when the thought crossed my mind that this scum wanted to touch my Johanna, I tensed up. "Stoney?" a little voice said. "Yes,...
Johanna and I discussed the idea of taking off from our lives for a few days for an abbreviated honeymoon, but neither of us were really at points in life to do so. I mean, I could have just begged off, but I was in the middle of a project with a time limit, I'd already given my word on its completion, and Jo? "I really shouldn't take off in the middle of the semester. Academically it's not good. And musically, we have the Veterans' Day thing in two weeks, and then a couple of big...
"Somebody you know?" Jo asked. "I saw the 'USA Retired'." "My platoon sergeant in Iraq," I said. "Good guy." "I'll let you read it, baby," she said. She started to turn away. "Where are you going?" "Was giving you some room. Privacy." "I don't need privacy. I need Johanna. This is just part of the past. He's a good guy. Wonder what he's got to say." I opened the envelope. A single printed page was inside. I read: Dear Lieutenant Jackson- I haven't heard from you...
Johanna's turn: Glorious Saturday morning, drifting along with the light pushing its way through the little gap in the drapes. I hear soft, regular breathing next to me, calming, protecting. That would be my husband. He's sleeping. He's slept all night and I get the best feeling about that. We've been sleeping together two weeks. Married, that is, 'officially' with the public ceremony and a marriage license, for a week today. In that two weeks, he's wakened in the middle of the night...
Johanna: Yes, it's primal. The urge to mate. Sociologists talk about it. Religions talk about it. Poets talk about it. It gets couched in various cloaks: love, duty, morality. But it's never right until two people decide it's right for them. And I'm thinking this in the dim light of the sun streaming into the cabin through the portholes. I hear the sound of waves slapping the hull and the whistle of the wind on the mast and the rigging. And the breathing of this guy next to me. Sometime...
Lovely, languid, quiet Saturday morning. Waking up next to a soft form. I have to touch that sweetly curved hip, just to tell myself I am not dreaming. The touch elicits a purr and a movement, several movements, actually, one of which put an arm around me. The hand at the end of the arm started exploring, finding morning wood. "Mmmmm, Stoney, is that for me?" "Yes, but be careful. It's loaded." "I thought we emptied it last night," she said, twisting in the bed. Her head dipped for...
The week went by with nothing major going on to interrupt our lives. Waiting on Friday. Before Johanna, I wasn't one of those people who worshipped Fridays, but now it was not a matter of escaping FROM something, it had become a matter of escaping with somebody, TO something. The weather was warm in the afternoon, cooler enough at night to be comfortable, and a cold front was due through late Saturday. When I got home Friday, the weekend's provisions were stacked by the door. I walked...
Johanna's turn: Almost magical, waking up in the morning on the boat. Not sure exactly what time it is, reminding myself that it really doesn't matter, feeling the form of this MAN touching me, rolling to face him, snuggling in against him. The boat is rocking gently and there's the wind and the waves and the sound of our breathing. I know my guy is drifting along because he hugs me closer and resumes his even breathing. I know several things that would be very pleasant for both of us,...
Stoney's turn: Aside from the idea of leaving Jo behind, I was not feeling bad when I left for work. After all, I had her kiss still tingling on my lips when I got in my car. A push of the button and I had the classical music station on the stereo. Oh, yeah, I have the iPod plugged in, too, but I liked giving the radio station a shot at titillating my ears on the way to work. This technique insured that my tastes received some variety. I hated the commute. Traffic is aggravation. After a...
Johanna's turn: I brought my Stoney home. My poor, broken, battered Stoney. Well, actually, a medical transport brought him home and ceremoniously deposited him in bed. The bed is a rental hospital bed, at least for the time being. I have home health technicians setting up trapezes. One over this bed. One over our bed. One over Stoney's favorite recliner. He's got crutches. "But do NOT try using them for a week," the doctor said. "And not while under the influence, either. I just...
Back to Stoney: Wasn't bad enough that I got T-boned by an illegal alien a couple of weeks ago, but now my beloved wife has thrown me under a bus. Admittedly, it's a bus full of musicians. Doctor Bob, the conductor/instructor of the university's chamber orchestra is complicit. Early in the relationship with Jo, she'd intimated to me the desire to play Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp, an idea I'd mentioned to Bob. When Jo saw that I was somewhat adept at my banjo, she railroaded...
Stoney's turn: Okay, I do admit that meeting Dan Richards and his surprising wife Cindy left me thinking. I was serious. Cindy, barely fifteen, was a cutie. "Jo, drag out the baby pictures," I said. "Baby pictures?" "Yeah, I want to see what you looked like growing up." "I don't have 'em. Mom keeps those." "I wanna see 'em," I said. "You might've been a horribly ugly child. I want to prepare myself for our offspring." She slapped the back of my head. "I was a wildly...
Stoney's turn: I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but life with Johanna had turned me quite a bit more optimistic, even if some bozo broke my leg. Yeah, I can drive again. Insurance popped for a replacement of my SUV, mostly. By this stage of the game I could be mobile if I needed to be, on my own. Bumping around the apartment was not a problem. If I started getting messages from my leg, I just eased it straight on the sofa or in the recliner. Walking out to my parking spot,...
Johanna's Turn: According to the stories I heard at my Momma's knee when I was little, I should be looking for leprechauns. This stuff got surreal. First, there's Dan and Cindy. Cindy could be a pixie. Dan showed up to talk with Stoney about picking up where Stoney left off on an engineering project when he had his accident. So I figured 'another engineer? What could it hurt?' Except this engineer shows up with a fifteen year old redheaded pixie of a wife, and we had a delightful...
Stoney's turn: It actually WAS in Cindy's words, 'a riot'. I never did 'band camp' or anything like that when I was in high school. They didn't have 'science camp' and 'math camp' in my school district and I wasn't in band. Jo told me about her own experiences. "Wasn't anything like this," she said. Our trip home was as wondrous as the trip there. I can definitely see why Dan and Cindy (and everyone else in the bunch, apparently) would cling to personal aviation as a...
Johanna's Turn: I walked out of the classroom with a definite spring in my step. I had several reasons to bounce, you know. Let's see. That test paper I laid on the GA's desk was, to the best of my knowledge, close to perfect. Stoney was home waiting on me. The semester was almost over and for the first time in my life I was not packing up to go spend winter break with Mom and Dad. The test. How ironic that I was testing at the end of a class on the history of Europe since 1945. I smiled...
Stoney's Turn: That was a surprise. Of course, since last September I've had lots of surprises. That was pleasant. Same thing. Since I touched fingertips one day with this startling redhead, I've had lots of 'pleasant', too. I parsed Jo's comments, "A little girl with family issues." "I get the feeling..." I concurred. "She's quite comfortable when she's playing, though." My partner smiled. "I've seen the family issues. Us military brats get an introduction." She paused....
Stoney's turn: When I was walking out of the building, headed home, I called Jo. "Hello, sweetness," she said. "Hi, princess," I returned. "Did Kara come over?" "Oh, yes," she said. "We're cranking out the music. Come home and join us!" "I'm on the way. Pedaling as fast as I can." My wife giggled. "Just drive careful. You know how you are!" Ten minutes later I was parking. Locked the SUV, walked to the door. I could hear the music as I unlocked it. It stopped with the...
Johanna's turn: It's not about sex. We're cuddled together. The sex is over for the night. And I still love him. Of course, right now we're both glowing. I mean, if we tossed the covers back, the room would light up. The post-coital (coital? - Damn you, Sheldon Cooper!) tingles will subside in a bit, but that loving glow hasn't. Nope. Hasn't. Not since I first admitted to myself that this was the guy for my life. I trust him. He trusts me. Kara's turn: Kara Sevinsky. That's me. I...
Stoney's turn: I punched the button on my office phone. Rang twice. Sweet, happy voice. "Hi, my love." "Hi, my princess," I replied. "I'm getting ready to walk out the door. What's up for the evening?" "Me and you. Some deli roast beef. Muenster cheese. Artisan ciabatta rolls from the bakery up the street. A bottle of Reisling. And then ... I have designs on your body..." "No Kara this evening?" "Nope. We talked a bit ago. She's got a Skype session with the bunch in...
Kara's turn: I feel like Balboa. You remember him, don't you? And no, NOT Rocky. He's the guy who 'discovered' the Pacific Ocean, at least from the Eurocentric point of view. That's how I feel after meeting Jo and Stoney and subsequently the girls in that community in Alabama: like I walked out of the jungle and there's a whole ocean just waiting for me. I'm seventeen. It's time that I start taking some actions to control my own life. It hasn't been easy. I'm not a poor kid, at...
Stoney's turn: So let's see where we're at now. I have a rollicking good life. There were long, lonely nights in the not too far past that I despaired of finding the person who would fill the void in my soul. As I sit here, eyes closed to repair the strain from staring at the diagram on my monitor, there's a little metallic blue Japanese car leaving the campus of the university, headed to what used to be my apartment. It's not my apartment now. It's ours. The driver of that little...
Johanna's turn: Friday! I was never one of that 'TGIF' bunch who LIVES for Fridays before. Before Stoney. Now? Maybe. Just a little bit. We swapped vehicles this morning. He drove my little hatchback to work. I took his SUV to campus. And at three, after class, I was loading bags into it at the apartment. That way, when he got home, we'd be ready to head to the marina. I can't wait. Yes! I get excited. I know, really, we have as much privacy as two people could possibly ask for here...
Johanna's turn: Two more weeks. That's it. Two weeks! I will graduate college. Stoney says he's the first of his family to receive a college degree. For myself, both parents have degrees, Dad's masters includes four years from West Point, Mom's from Trinity College in Dublin. And now I'm getting ready to graduate here in Houston, Texas, US of A. Double major, too, music and business administration. I have that 'music' part nailed. I could take a position with the local symphony,...
Johanna's turn: Back from ten wonderful days in Norway. Spent some time living out of Great-uncle Jan's place. He's got a beautiful home up a mountainside above a fjord overlooking one of his shipyards in the distance. It's a little shipyard, and this is Norway where shipbuilding is part of the national psyche, so it counts as scenery, understand? We did the touristy things, visiting museums and churches, seeing sights, absorbing the culture like a sponge. Phone call. I looked at the...
I don’t know if you’ve ever been arrested or not, but it’s a nightmare. Especially when two of the five people being arrested resist it. That would be Val and Rudy. Val felt like saying, “But we didn’t do anything!” should be sufficient to stop the cops in their tracks. When that was ignored, she got insistent and then frantic. I’m pretty sure she figured that, as the oldest, she’d be blamed for everything. If not by the police, then by our parents. Rudy insisted the money was not...
When I woke in the hotel room bed the next morning to a bright strip of light across my face, I stretched out to find the bed cold and empty. I quickly sat up, clutching the sheet to my chest and looked around the room, but it was silent and lifeless. T: John? John, are you here? No reply came from the room, so I wrapped the sheet around my body and got out of the comfy bed to go check the bathroom. Unfortunately, when I opened the door, it was as empty as the suite. Panic was now setting in....
He woke up for the first day of school, and threw on a white v-neck with some skinny jeans. He went downstairs, ate a big old bowl of Frosted Flakes, and was on his way. When he got there, he did the usual first day stuff, talked to some people he hadn't seen, hugged some girls, made fun of some freshman, and began his plan. He knew that girls liked him, he had received many blushing stares and confessions in the last 3 years, but he stayed aloof, and tried not to give into temptation. He...
Whenever a new tenant moves into one of the adjoining flats I’m always interested in who they are, and with good reason. Living in a flat in a converted house (in my case a turn of the last century, three storey terraced townhouse) anti-social neighbours are the last thing I needed. I’ve lived in flats since I was 21 with my current one situated on a tree-lined road around the corner from Cardiff’s Roath recreation Ground. It was my fourth and in the three previous ones I’d had my share of...
I ordered my friends and crew back to the ship. Malmoru had instant and unquestioned authority and no one asked any questions. The word was, that the White Innocent Fur had indeed prevented the darkest spirt from causing the demise of all Togar. The dark spirit, so the word among the Togar had manifested itself in the High Priestess. Something that fits well with the believes and also apparently resonated well with the rebels and dissidents. The demise of the queen, by the hand of that dark...
I parked up near to the bank and we walked along the High street, heading for a pub to catch a crafty pint before our table was due. As we passed a little service alley that ran between the Royal Hotel and a jewellers, Christina grabbed me and pushed me in. Three steps into the alley and we were sufficiently in the shadows enough that anyone walking by the street - and there weren’t many people about - wouldn’t be able to see us clearly. The end of the alley was in darkness.“What’s going...

xmoviesforyouThough I tried to get her to meet me willingly, she refused. She said she just wasn’t ready. But I didn’t care. I had a friend that was very good at hacking people so I asked him to get all of her information so that I could find her. Within a day he had it all for me and within a month I found her. I stalked her for a week, getting to know her routine, before making my move. I drugged her water while she was in the shower and before she knew it, she was out. Now here she is, tied up with...
By: [email protected] Notice: This story contains adult language and adult, sexual descriptions. If you are not eighteen years old, LEAVE NOW! We'd e-chatted for six weeks before we decided to meet. I imagined all sorts of things about her and what she looked like! She sounded like my kind of woman. She was just as dirty minded and apparently horny as any 18 year old boy, only she was 47. We chatted about our fantasy meet back and forth for those six weeks and finally, I set a date...
(Or the anatomy of a seduction from the husband’s point of view) Prologue Wood: It’s a simple four letter word for such a complex gift mother earth has given us. I’ve been in love with it for as long as I can remember. Wood is alive to the touch, and no two pieces are the same. It warms to the touch, and the very smell of freshly sawn timber is so sensual and evocative. It can be rough or smooth, a symphony of shades and textures. My grandfather, a jobbing carpenter, gave me my first carved...

I have a 360 page at http://360.yahoo.com.JoyceLynnTV1.When my wife and I first met, our sex life was fantastic! She was a very sexual lady and always made herself available. She usually wore stockings and garter belt or thigh highs, high heel sandals, and something that was sexy and suggestive. We made love and...
[Virginia/Tennessee] Our ride to Roanoke was easy. Then we got on I-81 and rolled southwest along the spine of Virginia. It was beautiful country. It was late lunchtime when we reached Bristol. Amos wanted to have a look at the speedway. We agreed and Jane said, "Let's get some lunch, tour the speedway, and find a place for the night." We had seen no one or any sign of people all day. We had to break into the speedway and did. Amos and I even took a few laps in our trucks. I had no idea...
The empty shell of the townhouse still smouldered as the fire crew carried out the charred remains of another victim. The corpse soon joined the line of black body bags behind a parked ambulance, hidden from the gathered TV cameras. No doubt an effort to give them a dignity in death that they didn't have in life. So… what happened at this old townhouse? DC Blakely scribbled into his notepad, twitching his nose at the acrid smell of burnt furniture. He turned to his colleague, the buxom brunette...
My husband and his new golf buddies started going to Hooters after mens league every Tuesday. He’d stroll in around 12:30 A.M. or so, smelling like beer and restaurant. I finally asked him what was so good about that place anyway? My husband's weakness is for a sexy set of legs especially encased in sheer silky hosiery, pantyhose or sheer silky stockings. He said that it wasn’t his decision to go, it was the rest of the guys. My husband stated that he didn’t need to go there, for I more than...
Wife LoversSplish splash, she was taking a bath. Zoey Monroe is always willing to take that extra time caring for her bodys needs. She lathers up in a pristine bubble bath, getting soap all over her perfectly perky tits, sweet white pussy, and plump ass. She lays back and begins to fantasize that in this stark white tub, there is a massive black snake ready to pounce on her. She puts her little mouth on that anaconda before leading it over to the bed to do some extra work. She gets fucked from below and...

xmoviesforyouI padded barefoot to my car and drove the 20 minutes to Mary’s house. I always enjoy the feel of the pedals on my feet and I was hoping for some nice foot action this evening too. I figured there is a reason our feet are so sensitive so might as well enjoy it some more! I was pleased to see Mary’s house was very nice and at the end of a secluded driveway. I drove to the top and parked. Apparently, the girls saw me driving up and already had the front door open with big beautiful smiles...
Mike sat down at his computer and logged in. Following his normal morning procedure, he opened his e-mail. Much to his surprise, he found that there was a message from root with the title, ‘An Important Intelligence Assessment.’ He clicked on the message and nearly fell out of his chair when he read the first two lines of it. The email laid out the full intelligence estimate concerning a pending attack against the United States. Details about what groups were active in the states, what...
Marion Norris pressed against Len Dewey as they danced in a shadowy part of the dance floor that had been set up for the wedding reception. As their bodies moved together, she let her hands roam lightly over the young man’s bottom. At the same time she felt his cock, which felt as if it was getting larger by the second, pressing against her belly. She heard the young man’s soft murmur of delight and felt him shudder. Len pushed his hips even tighter against the woman he was dancing with and...
The Retreat As Angela left the bedroom and stepped into the sitting room of Eric's suite, she noticed a man's jeans, undershorts and a pullover shirt, their size tags still on them, laying on the coffee table. Suspecting that the girls had already found their new clothes, she picked up Eric's clothes and went back into his bedroom. Eric, having turned on the lights, had just dropped his shorts and was headed for the bathroom for a quick shower. Morning and a full bladder had produced...
After showering and laying out in the shade Chase was finally joined by his wife. She walked slowly into the patio area in an obvious daze, still stoned out of her mind. She smiled sloppily when she saw Chase and lay down on the lounger next to him. Chase could see her eyes were dilated from the effects of the drug. "So how was your treatment?" Chase asked nonchalantly. "Hmm?" She answered before realizing what he had asked. "Oh, right, my massage. It was great, I mean, Kaci was quite...
