Chapter 10 — Let’s Have a Party
May 1974
They arrived late, but not too much. The fraternity house parking lot had always been undersized so Jim had a difficult time wedging the Rustmobile into a space.
‘I’m glad we took this car instead of the Duster,’ Jim said. ‘The old Rustmobile can take a few more dents and no one would notice, but the Duster doesn’t have any yet.
He turned off the motor and they were about to climb the back steps of the fraternity house when a pick up truck towing a trailer ambled into the lot. It was the equipment for the band that would be playing later that night.
He recognized the person who stepped out of the truck as the set-up guy for the band when they played at the house on other occasions.
‘You aren’t going to park us in are you?’ Jim asked. ‘We plan to leave on the early side.’
‘Naw,’ the burly man said in a gruff voice, ‘we’ll just unload and park the rig on the street somewhere.’
Great!’ Jim said and he took Hildy’s hand and they went into the fraternity house.
When they walked into the foyer the party was in full swing. He looked around for Rich and didn’t see him. He’d seen his car in the lot, though, so he knew that he and Chelsea were somewhere in the house.
‘Want something to drink?’ he asked Hildy.
There was a table covered by a white table cloth with two punch bowls on it surrounded by glasses turned upside down.
‘Is the white stuff the drink with vodka and grapefruit juice?’ Hildy asked.
‘And sugar. That’s right. It’s called…’
‘Silver Moons,’ Hildy said. ‘I remember. I think I’ll pass. What about the purple one in the other punch bowl?’
‘Purple Passion,’ Jim answered, ‘Vodka and Grape Juice with sugar.’
‘Great choice,’ Hildy said, ‘I suppose if I have to choose…’
‘Personally, I’d rather have a beer. I never drink that garbage,’ Jim said. ‘Follow me.’
He led her to the third floor of the fraternity house where there were brothers’ rooms. In the connecting hallway there was an old soft drink machine.
‘Name your poison,’ Jim said. ‘Bud or LaBatts,’
‘I guess Budweiser,’ Hildy said.
Jim put a quarter into the slot and bottle fell onto the rubber pad in the opening of the machine. There was a bottle opener tied on a string nearby. Jim took off the cap and handed the bottle to her.
‘I’m a LaBatts man, myself.’
He slid another quarter into the machine. In a few seconds he and Hildy had fresh drinks and turned to head back downstairs.
‘I guess we’re slumming now,’ Hildy laughed.
”Not at all,’ Jim replied. ‘For me, it’s a delicacy to drink beer out of a glass bottle instead of a can.’
When they arrived at the second floor landing they met Rich and Chelsea.
‘I see you and I had the same idea,’ Rich said.
Jim introduced Hildy and Chelsea to each other.
‘I’ll see you in the dining room,’ he told Rich.
When Jim and Hildy arrived on the first floor he decided to give Hildy a quick tour of the house. He started with the pool room where guests were placing their empty glasses on the felt of the pool table.
‘There would have been a time when that would have upset me, but it’s someone else’s problem now.’
They moved to the parlor. There was a composite picture of all the brothers from 1972.
‘That’s you!’ Hildy shrieked.
‘That’s right, that was me two years ago.’
‘A moustache and sideburns? That’s hilarious!’
‘I don’t think it’s that funny, Hildy.’
It was no use. Hildy was dissolving in laughter and she hadn’t even finished half her beer.
As Hildy was composing herself Jim spied Ashley and Chelsea talking in the corner. Chelsea pointed a finger at Hildy and Ashley covered her face as she burst out in laughter. Jim glanced at Hildy and hoped she hadn’t noticed.
‘I think that girl over there in the green gown thinks it’s funny, too,’ Hildy said.
As usual, Hildy had noticed and Jim was certain that Hildy knew that Ashley wasn’t laughing at his picture from 1972.
Jim knew in advance that Hildy hadn’t dressed like the other dates at the party. In fact, Hildy’s outfit could have been called ‘frumpy’, especially compared to the gowns of the other girls. Their gowns were a lot flimsier and far more suggestive the Hildy’s. Not only that, it was May and Hildy’s skirt was more suitable for winter. Jim didn’t care about any of that. He did care if there might be trouble. He decided to try to keep Ashley as far away as he could.
Jim was figuring out how he would do that when the dinner bell rang. Dinner was to be served in the dining room which was in the basement of the house. Everyone started filing downstairs. There were round tables set up with table cloths and place settings for three couples. The pledges stood to the side in white waiter’s jackets ready to begin serving dinner.
Jim led Hildy to a table where Rich and Chelsea were waiting for them Jim pulled Hildy’s chair away from the table and Hildy slid into it. As he pushed her in he noticed Ashley walking into the dining room with her date, Steve Sadowski.
Steve Sadowski was two years younger than Jim. He studied Engineering like Jim and Rich, but that was about all they had in common with him. He was on the short side, but wiry and had played on the hockey team during his first year. Despite his Slavic name he had olive skin and his hair was neither long nor short. He had a greasy look and his favorite jokes seemed to be tests of perverted ideas that must have been racing through his mind.
‘Ashley and Stevie are sure to keep one another busy tonight,’ Jim thought.
‘Oh, I want to sit with Chelsea,’ Ashley said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
She scurried into the seat next to Rich, which was across from Hildy. Steve took the chair along side hers.
Ashley was carrying a cup full of the Silver Moon punch from upstairs. Jim guessed that it might not be her first one of the evening.
‘Ashley and Steve, this is Hildy,’ Jim said, performing the obligatory honors.
‘I noticed,’ Ashley replied.
She turned to Hildy.
‘I like your gown,’ she said, ‘or should I call it a skirt?’
‘It’s a skirt,’ Hildy answered.
Ashley giggled a bit.
‘Why did you take off the poodles? It doesn’t seem complete without the poodles.’
Ashley looked at the others at the table, expecting them to laugh at her joke. Chelsea gave out a polite laugh. Steve did, too. Ashley laughed some more to make up for those that didn’t understand the joke and weren’t laughing.’
‘They weren’t poodles. They were hearts,’ Hildy said. ‘I wore this skirt to a Valentines’s Day party two years ago.’
‘You should have left them on,’ Ashley said. ‘They would have been cute.’
‘I don’t have money to waste on formal gowns that I plan to wear a single time,’ Hildy countered. ‘I thought this would be okay.’
‘Oh, it is,’ Ashley replied. ‘And I like your no-make-up look. It’s so…so (ahem)… natural.’
‘Let’s talk about something else,’ Jim said.
Jim felt Hildy’s hand on his leg. He knew she was telling him not to make a scene.
‘Right,’ Rich said, ‘it’s supposed to be nice at the lake tomorrow and…’
‘Well, Jim,’ Ashley interrupted, ‘I can see that you understand that beauty isn’t everything.’
Jim leaned close to Hildy.
‘Why don’t you go to the Ladies’ room and powder your nose?’
‘I don’t need to powder my nose,’ Hildy whispered back. ‘Please, just let it go. It doesn’t matter to me.’
Hildy had almost convinced Jim. He knew that Ashley was nearly drunk. The glassful of super-punch that she’d carried into the dining room was nearly empty.
‘Stevie,’ Ashley said, ‘I need another glass of punch.’
Steve started to get up to go on his errand.
‘I see that you two are drinking beer,’ Ashley said to Jim. ‘I understand it’s the preferred beverage of the working class.’
Jim rose to his feet. He leaned over and put both hands on the table, pressing in as close to Ashley as he could.
‘That’s enough, Ashley. Knock it off,’ Jim said.
‘Don’t tell me to knock it off,’ Ashley shot back. ‘You knock it off or I’ll let everyone know a few things I know about you.’
‘Be my guest, Ashley. Tell them anything you want.’
Ashley opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it before any words could come out. To Jim, she looked unhappy and a bit ugly. It had never occurred to him to see her that way before. He waited for a second for her to speak, but she didn’t.
He knew that Ashley wanted to reveal his problem, but one revelation often leads to more of them and the world’s ears feast on unintended disclosures.
‘I didn’t think you’d have anything to say,’ Jim said. ‘Now, like I said, knock it off.’
‘And what if I don’t? What’re you going to do about it?’
‘If you don’t knock it off, Ashley,’ Jim said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, ‘I’ll go upstairs with little Stevie and put him on the Disabled List. Then, you’ll have no one to sleep with tonight and you can walk home all by yourself in what there is of your green dress with your boobs falling out of it.’
He straightened up and stared Ashley in the eye to let her know that he meant what he was saying. Steve Sadowski was standing alongside her with a stupid look on his face.
‘Hey, man,’ he said, ‘don’t threaten me. I didn’t do anything.’
‘She’s your date Steve,’ Jim said and pointed his finger at him. ‘Take care of it.’
Jim sat down. He glanced at Hildy and he noticed that her face had turned red. She leaned over close so she could whisper something to him.
‘I’m glad that you decided not to make a scene,’ she said.
Jim took a deep breath. He knew that he’d made a scene and he hoped that he wouldn’t have to make good on his promise to injure Steve Sadowski, especially with his wrist being strained, and all. He looked around the room.
‘Look, everyone, there’s a table over there with only two couples at it. This table is a bit crowded. I think Hildy and I are going to move over there.’
Hildy and Jim moved to the table across the room. It was occupied by two of his younger fraternity brothers in their second year of pre-med with their dates. Jim didn’t know them very well—they stuck to themselves more than not because of their academic workload.
‘It would be a shame to leave school without getting to know these guys better,’ he thought as he crossed the room with Hildy.
‘Hi, guys, this is my date, Hildy,’ he said. ‘Do you mind if we join you?’
Jim pushed Hildy’s chair in and then seated himself. Hildy leaned close to Jim.
‘What did she mean when she said that she knows some things about you?’ Hildy asked.
‘A long time ago she thought she was going to have sex with me and it didn’t turn out. She got mad and she hasn’t gotten over it yet.’
‘How long ago?’
‘It seems like another lifetime,’ Jim told her.
The premed brothers were looking at each other, and then at their dates and then at Hildy, and then at Jim. Hildy was looking down at the table.
‘Look, Hildy, you asked me. I didn’t do it with her because I was thinking about you, in case you’re interested.’
He knew he was in trouble and wondered why he was, even though he had avoided telling her one of his polite, little, white lies. The ugly little topic might have served to dampen his and Hildy’s plans to ‘make tonight the night’, so he was eager to smooth things over.
‘Are all your fraternity parties like this?’ Hildy asked.
‘No,’ Jim answered, ‘this is one of the more exciting ones.’
Hildy laughed and shook her head. The pre-med brothers and their dates relaxed and laughed with her.
‘Look, Hildy,’ he said, ‘Let’s enjoy our dinners and get to know these people. Then, we’ll go a few times around the dance floor and after that we’re out of here.’
********************
After a few minutes the dinner party settled down and Hildy seemed satisfied with what Jim told her. The pledges did a good job serving dinner and the food, a chicken dish, turned out to be pretty good, if predictable. Jim and Hildy had a pleasant time talking with the pre-med brothers and their dates. He had taken some of the same Chemistry courses for which they were in the midst of finals preparation.
There were no more incidents with Ashley, although Jim noticed that she polished off another full glass of punch and half of another.
At dinner’s end, Jim and Hildy decided to go upstairs. They could hear the band warming up. They were among the last couples to arrive on the dance floor.
‘I’m sorry if I embarrassed you at dinner,’ he told Hildy as they were walking up the stairs.
‘It’s okay,’ she said. ‘I didn’t want you to make a scene, but in a way, I’m almost glad that you did. Just promise me you won’t do it again on the dance floor.’
‘It wouldn’t be possible. The band will be too loud. No one would be able to hear anything, no matter what is said.’
‘Just for being bad, I’m going to make you dance two more dances before we go back to your apartment,’ Hildy said.
‘I’m not a very good dancer, Hildy.’
‘I know,’ she said, ‘I danced with you in the Shakespeare room last summer. You’re not as bad as all that.’
Hildy stood out on the dance floor, being as tall as she was. Jim knew it, but it didn’t bother him. The music was loud, as he had warned her. Hildy seemed to be having fun, so Jim was happy to stay on the dance floor with her longer than he planned.
As he looked at the other couples he could see that some of them had been drinking more after they came upstairs from the dining room. Jim and Hildy had finished off their beers during dinner and hadn’t had anything else to drink. They had no interest in the vodka punch and the beer machine was all the way up on the third floor.
Jim had been keeping an eye on Ashley. He noticed that she was drinking a lot of Silver Moons. She was weaving about the dance floor and Jim knew she was drunk. After a while he looked up and found that he had lost track of her. Steve Sadowski was missing, too.
‘At least we know that Ashley won’t be driving home in her condition,’ a thought he kept to himself.
He glanced at his watch. It was ten-thirty. They had been on the dance floor longer than he had realized. At that moment he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Rich.
‘Chelsea and I are all partied out,’ Rich shouted over the thumping bass. ‘We’re going to head over to her apartment. I’ll see you tomorrow.’
Rich left and Jim turned to Hildy. She was leaning close to him with an expectant expression that Jim liked.
‘I think I’m all partied out, too,’ she said. ‘Let’s dance one more and then we’ll go.’
It was what Jim was hoping to hear. The band began playing their next number—a slow one. It was a Charlie Rich song:
‘Cause people like to talk Lord, don’t they love to talk But when they turn out the lights I know she’ll be leaving with me
And when we get behind closed doors Then she lets her hair hang down And she makes me glad that I’m a man Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
The song ended, it was a good note to end on, considering all that had happened. It was time to go back to the apartment.
‘I think that song was our cue,’ Hildy breathed into Jim’s ear,
‘Let’s go,’ he said, and took her hand and headed for the door.
He was glad that he hadn’t had much to drink. It would better driving and when they got back to the apartment he wanted all his senses in good working order.
They stepped out the back door into the parking lot. His Rustmobile was right where h
e’d left it and the band’s pick up and trailer was right where it had been the last time he’d seen it.
‘They’re going to have to move this,’ Jim said.
‘I don’t think they can move it,’ Hildy said. ‘They’ve got someone behind them, too.’
Jim recognized the car. It belonged to Joe Lawrence, one of Jim’s good friends.
‘That’s Joe’s car. He’ll move it if I ask him to. Then the band can move their rig.’
Jim looked into the cab of the truck. There was a fuzzy looking guy sleeping in the passenger’s seat. He must have been one of the band’s set-up crew.
‘Hey, wake up,’ Jim shouted at him, ‘you’ve got to move this truck.’
‘Can’t do it, man,’ the sleepy helper mumbled. ‘Haven’t got the keys. The guy playin’ the drums has got the keys.’
‘Well go get them from him,’ Jim said.
‘Can’t, man. I don’t know how to back up the rig—especially in so small a space.’
Jim began looking about, hoping he could figure out a way that he could thread the Rustmobile around the band’s rig. But the Rustmobile wasn’t a threading around kind of car.
‘They’ll be done with their set in about an hour, man,’ the sleeper said. ‘I’ll get him to move it then.’
‘Please don’t forget,’ Jim told him.
It would be better that way. By the time he found Joe and got him to move the car, and then got the band member to come out, it would probably be an hour, anyway.
‘I’m going to find the guy who owns that car behind you and tell him to meet us out here when the band breaks,’ Jim told the helper. ‘You make sure that the drummer is out here with the keys.’
Jim turned to Hildy.
‘I’m sure you heard everything. We’ll have to wait until the next band break. We can go up to the third floor and have a beer while we wait.’
They made their way back inside the house. Jim found Joe on the dance floor and asked him to move his car at the break. Then he and Hildy went up the stairs. When they got to the third floor the hallway was empty. Jim reached into his pocket for a couple of quarters.
‘I’ve only got one quarter left, Hildy. We’ll have to share.’
‘That’s okay,’ she answered. ‘Is there a Ladies’ Room around here?’
Jim popped the top on the beer he’d just bought and then took a look in the third floor head.
‘There’s no one in there,’ he said. ‘I’ll stand guard and make sure that no one goes in.’
He could tell that Hildy wasn’t crazy about that idea and he also knew she hadn’t much choice. She disappeared behind the door. Jim was pretty sure that no one would be using it right away, but he kept watch just the same, while he sipped his beer.
In a few minutes he heard a flush and then the one of the faucets in the sink running. The restroom door opened and Hildy came out. She hesitated as she passed the room in the corner. The door was half-way open. She stood there looking in. Jim didn’t understand what she was looking at.
‘You better get over here,’ Hildy called to him.
She sounded serious and Jim set down the beer bottle and walked to where she was. Hildy pointed to the scene inside the room.
It was Steve Sadowski’s room. He was there, along with Ashley and two of the younger fraternity brothers, Dave and Glen. Ashley was lying on the floor. Steve was standing over her, straddling her torso. The other two were sitting on a sofa. All of them were nude. Ashley wasn’t moving as she lay on the floor. Steve was masturbating as he stood over her.
‘Stay here,’ Jim said to Hildy.
He marched into the room.
‘What’s going on in here?’
Jim detected the smell of recently burned grass. The two boys on the sofa were laughing. Steve didn’t say anything and it appeared that he was close to ejaculating.
‘Ashley is pulling a train,’ one of the sofa boys giggled. ‘Glen and I already gave her a paint job.
‘I’m the caboose,’ Steve struggled to grunt and he worked himself.
Jim gave Steve a push on the chest and he fell backward to the floor.
‘Hey…’ Steve protested, but Jim ignored him.
‘What does Ashley say about this?’
He bent down to her and could tell that she was passed out and incapable of saying anything. There were spatters and globs of semen on her face, chest and belly.
‘How much has she had to drink?’ Jim demanded.
He didn’t get an answer, but Jim knew that she was already drunk when he had seen her on the dance floor. He spotted a pitcher half full of Silver Moons on a chest of drawers with four glasses surrounding it. Ashley’s gown lay in a heap in the corner of the room.
Denethia walked hand in hand with the handsome man who had stolen her heart the first night of the autumn festival. He was dressed in mouse-colored robes, with a comical pointed cap sitting rakishly off-center on his head. A false beard hung from his square chin down to his leanly muscled chest. He carried a fanciful, feather-adorned staff in his other hand, the costume unmistakable as that of a wizard. The garb seemed to suit him well. Denethia's costume also suited her perfectly — her...
O.K., I admit I probably shouldn’t have done it. But, really, who in their right mind would have expected this? But, then again, who do I know who’s in their right mind? Sure, I mean, all the tales warn against doing it, but nobody ever suggests that this can happen. Come on. What? You look puzzled. Maybe I should start at the beginning. Slowly? Right. Well, I had never really gotten into any trouble, though I’d harbored seditious thoughts on many occasions. I was just discreet enough to...
Harvest of Expectations © Copyright 2013 By Autumn Writer Chapter 6 — Confrontation March 1974 January and February swept by fast, like the snowstorms that turned the roads to glorified ski trails that year. Jim hadn’t seen Hildy since the date he had with her the night after Christmas. He tried a few times to drive up for a visit, but something got in the way. Sometimes it was the weather and other times he was working on his project. On top of that, he was working out in preparation for...

First TimeChapter 5 — Merry Christmas December 1973 Jim knew that life and all its events was a proposition of give and take. He strove to hold up his end by giving, lest he err in the taking. It was his last chance. It was nine in the evening and the stores would be open for anther thirty minutes. It would be no good to wait until the next day. The next day would be December 24 and he planned to use that as a travel day. Besides, as he looked around the big box store he could see that the shelves...

Jim watched Hildy drive out of the parking lot and turn onto the main road. He started his own car and put it in gear. Soon he was headed home, to his parents’ house, which was in the opposite direction, where he stayed during his summers and school vacations. It was nearly midnight, so his parents wouldn’t be up waiting...

When that happened he would think over what he should have done and faced up to the consequences of his own acts. ‘Thunderpussy is sure mad at you,’ Rich told him as he slurped down a cup of coffee. He stretched and the muscles in his shoulders pressed at his tee shirt. ‘She came storming in to her apartment just as Chelsea and I were...

I have to be honest with you, it was exciting to me to be completely naked in front of strangers. As I walked down the hallway nude, with a towel over my arm and a bag over my shoulder, I was proud of myself on how far I had come in one short year. I had come to Florida a year earlier on a full swimming scholarship to a major university. I remember how excited I had been to leave my Minnesota home and escape the dark cold of northland winters. I loved competitive swimming, but I hated leaving...

Soon he was headed home, to his parents' house, which was in the opposite direction, where he stayed during his summers and school vacations. It was nearly midnight, so his parents wouldn't be up waiting for him, which Jim considered to be a...
September 1973 Any time Jim had a project or an assignment he tried everything he could to meet the expectations of those who expected him to perform. He tried his best every time, but he wasn't successful on each and every occasion, of course. When that happened he felt bad and hoped for another chance. "Hey Rich—hey Rich, are you here?" Jim had his arms full with two suitcases as he shouted out his roommate's name. "Yeah, I'm here," was the muffled reply. "I'm in the can. Keep...
September 1973 Jim had learned over the years that there times when he would do things and have second thoughts afterward. When that happened he would think over what he should have done and faced up to the consequences of his own acts. "Thunderpussy is sure mad at you," Rich told him as he slurped down a cup of coffee. He stretched and the muscles in his shoulders pressed at his tee shirt. "She came storming in to her apartment just as Chelsea and I were starting to relate to one...
December 1973 Jim knew that life and all its events was a proposition of give and take. He strove to hold up his end by giving, lest he err in the taking. It was his last chance. It was nine in the evening and the stores would be open for anther thirty minutes. It would be no good to wait until the next day. The next day would be December 24 and he planned to use that as a travel day. Besides, as he looked around the big box store he could see that the shelves were starting to look...
March 1974 January and February swept by fast, like the snowstorms that turned the roads to glorified ski trails that year. Jim hadn't seen Hildy since the date he had with her the night after Christmas. He tried a few times to drive up for a visit, but something got in the way. Sometimes it was the weather and other times he was working on his project. On top of that, he was working out in preparation for the final season he would be on the University's Track and Field team. Hildy...

Expectations -- I. My life has been shaped by boobs. I'm unsure why now is suddenly the time to declare that. I mean, it is certainly true as I'm about to explain. But why now? Why not three days ago after Emily and I finally fucked each other's brains out and I was on top of the world? Or yesterday when I was beneath it after she didn't answer my texts until midday? Perhaps it is because of what occurred at her 30th birthday the week before. But that is getting ahead...
Greater Than Expectations By Supposition Life I was born four months premature and spent my first six months of my life in the hospital. My early birth was brought on by a car wreck that my mother Mary Kinsman Raul, didn't survive but before she died she named me Sean Kinsman Raul. She was sole heir to the Kinsman fortune which was large and very old money. My father William Raul was from old money too and his parents were dead also. I had the best medical care at birth that money...
With apologies to the great Charles Dickens, I've borrow some of his words and thoughts for this story. It was my seventeenth birthday and it was suppose to be the best of times, but the evening was young and my expectations were high. My name is Raymond Chandler, but everyone just calls me Ray. I am just entering my senior year at Paso Robles High School in mid-state California and tonight I was out on a date with Missy Adams. Missy and I had been an item for over three months and everyone...
“Kelly…what the FUCK was going on at your place with videocall…when did he leave? I expected you over here earlier than your husband getting home!” “Lori, my puss is HIS…I have given myself to him, COMPLETELY! It felt so easy to give myself to him, to give him control of me…it was so liberating to take control of my puss…to knowingly take control and give it to him…I have never felt so in control of myself, and comfortable with giving that control to someone…” “Kelly…what the actual...
OCTOBER 2003, SOPHOMORE YEAR I thrust forward a final time, grunting my orgasm into Adrienne's ear as a quart of spunk flowed out of me and into my adoptive sister's sucking pussy. The stunningly gorgeous blonde, fully naked with a fine sheen of sweat coating her skin, stayed on all fours in front of me until I'd finished busting my nut inside her, and then both her arms and legs collapsed as she fell face-down on my bed. Even though I was standing on my own two feet next to the bed, my...
Damn! Who would of thought that could happen in the garden? Definitely not me! But everytime I think about it I get those little bumps all over. You know the ones. Not the ones that make your skin crawl, the one's that give you a shiver of excitement. Just thinking about what happened that day long ago and I still get those damn bumps. You ever gardened? I don't mean the small flower beds or a couple plants in a pot. I'm talking about a decent size plot that you have to fence in to keep the...
It was just as Wendy was leaving the classroom where she’d been attending her antenatal class that it finally became too much for her. Throughout the whole class, on whatever it was she’d already forgotten, her mind had drifted well away from the subject on discussion. She envied the self-satisfied expressions on the faces of the other mothers to be. There was just nothing for Wendy to feel smug about. Not for her, a husband or supportive partner. It was going to be left to her, and only her,...
LesbianCollege Expectations Part 1 Jeremy Sanders was a fairly normal eighteen-year-old, who had lived in the same small Midwest town for most of his life. Jeremy had just recently graduated high school, finishing with a fairly high GPA and a few academic honors. The boy had always thought of himself as a good student, even though he never had to try very hard to earn good grades. Ultimately he felt that it was his ability to "skate" through life that had contributed to many of his...
On the appointed day, at the appointed time, I was seated in the same anteroom to the office of the Commander in Chief of His Britannic Majesty’s Army as when summoned in December of 1816, after the duel where I had killed Jarvis Braxton-Clark. It seemed if little had changed in the room since then; the same gilded, brocaded, and uncomfortable, chairs designed by Mister Chippendale, and a bevy of seemingly moribund senior officers waiting to see the Commander in Chief — possibly the self-same...
Scanning the picturesque scene from the window of the third floor, Rachel smiled. The rich, autumn colours radiated from the countryside. The burnt orange leaves were descending from the ageing trees, and drifting slightly in the September wind. The tranquil landscape made her lose herself, deep in her thoughts. Looking out into the cornfields she reminisced about how she used to play chasing games with her friends, hiding in amongst the overgrown ears of corn. She could almost hear the...

I was nineteen at the time and Lili was my first college girlfriend. She was a virgin when we met. I had only had one intimate girlfriend before her. We loved to explore together and every weekend her roommate would leave town on Friday night and wouldn't return until Sunday evening, giving us plenty of time to explore and play. She knew I liked ass play from conversations about things we'd done in the past and I held no secrets back about how I really wanted to explore those feelings further....
CrossdressingTim recalled the conversation as though it had happened yesterday. "Jesus," Paul had said. "Man, I just don't get you. You let a golden opportunity slip right through your fingers." Walter, the third member of the group, had nodded a knowing agreement. "Opportunity for what?" Tim had asked. "Are you k**ding? I have told you about the time Carolyn invited me in, right?" "Many times," Tim had said, but his friend wouldn't be stopped. "Man, we left a trail of clothes from the front door to her...
It took Commander Denise Williams three days to modify the basic Aurora-class specifications to be configurable for bulk loads and heavy pods as well as standard pods. The AI was getting easier to work with and Celeste had replicator files created by the end of the week. Williams didn't have much to do while the drawings were being converted and accepted a lunch invitation from Constance McKinsey. She was a little surprised to see Kim Nguyen and Bobby Wallace at the table. Bobby had taken...

Incest"Strip,” he said with only a hint of a smile. “The dress is lovely as usual, but you know I prefer you strictly in heels and jewelry.”Ariel turned. “Unzip me then.”Eric found the tiny zipper and pulled down slowly, then let out a gasp. Ariel turned and dropped the little black dress to the floor, putting a hand on her hip as she did.“Voila!” she exclaimed. She was indeed in heels and jewelry: Black three-inch open-toed sling-backs and a black pearl choker. In between were, not clothes, or...

I went to a party with a girlfriend that was at my friend Kelsey’s house. A lot of sexy college kids all around 18 or 19 but were there. I wore a fox tee shirt, skinny jeans, green panties & a blue sports bra. I thought I looked pretty hot! I was talking and joking with a few of my friends and making some new ones. Some were smoking and drinking , a few had found the hot tub but I stayed I the house. I had like 3 beers when I met up with this really cute guy. The music was loud and we started...

BisexualDate rape. It’s probably the most under reported crime in high school, usually due to embarrassment. No victim wants to be known as “that student that was raped.” Also if the perpetrator happens to be in sports, it seems harder to get people to believe you. That’s me. Eighteen years old, 6’ 3”, 175 lbs., blond hair, blue eyed Senior and the catcher on the varsity baseball team. Actually I am pushing 6’ 4”, my published height was taken at the beginning of the year and I am still growing. You...
It was Friday night and Roger was dropping off his date for the night. Jill Abrahms was the last woman Roger would ask out from the single parent groups. He had already asked out all the rest of the women that interested him. And one date with Jill was enough. Roger felt like he spent half the night just trying to get her to pay attention to him. With The Plan, or what was left of it, running out of steam, Roger wasn’t quite sure what to do next. Well, he still had a couple of women with...
Despite her best intentions to give it one more try, it didn't get better. Terrell pretty much used Ursa's steadfast body as he wished, and by now he could get the best out of her every time — which is a hard thing for any woman to walk away from. When she was alone during the day while Terrell continued to conduct his "business", she hunted for his caches of her milk and blackmail DVDs. Ursa would only be reminded the next night on how many of them she wasn't finding. Ursa also willed...

The three ship's officers that McKinsey and Nguyen had not yet met introduced themselves while waiting for the captain to arrive. They had barely finished the exchange of social pleasantries when Captain Kozlowski stepped into the...
Monday came and when I came home from work Marissa wasn’t home although her car was in the garage. We’d had a very frigid weekend. She hardly talked to me, so I took the attitude of ‘fuck you too’. She’s the one that needs to apologize, not me. I went upstairs to change out of my work clothes and noticed a shopping bag from Victoria’s Secret. I peeked inside and saw a black lace garter belt and a package of black, fishnet stockings. Marissa showed up four beers later; giving me enough time...
-- THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2005, FINALS WEEK -- "Dawn Evans?" came the confused voice on the other end of the line. "Yes. She's part of the ranch hand program," I replied. "Dawn ... Dawn ... Uhh ... Wait, you said Evans, right? We have a Marie Evans." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, but explained patiently, "'Marie' is her middle name." The sounds of pages flipping were audible over the phone, and presently the guy who'd picked up the main telephone line returned. "Here...
