"A freedom-seeking American expat encounters an unlikely kindred spirit"
Paris, 1962Inside Bohemia After Dark, patrons squinted through an ashen haze at the nightclub's featured combo. Stained indigo under mood lighting, a quintet of animated ebony carvings whisper-shouted wordless, haunting languages. Cigarette embers winked; wine glasses clinked; heads nodded with...
"A womanizing Broadway performer tries to direct himself away from a high-risk temptress"
Once the limo dropped him off, all Andrew Lyne Barrett could think about was a decent coffee and a hot shower. And bed. Solo, not shared. The marathon 69 contest with a nubile starlet du jour — his reward for enduring eleven...
"It took a dream to put the end of forever into words"
Near closing time on a rare, rainless Cornish evening, I wander toward the shop where you work, unable to explain how I got here other than transport by sheer longing. The same compulsion told me where to find you in...
"While Dawn plays hooky with benefits, Teri takes the initiative - and hits a different roadblock."
DawnIf absence makes a dick grow impatient, the proof blasts through my bedroom window from the dick's muffler-challenged Camaro, twenty minutes early and fumigating the yard with thunderheads of exhaust. Every bump in the driveway extorts a creaky toll from...
Lita's cinnamon-heart vortex pulls taffy from the kingpin's grizzled candyfloss. Four decades of bubblegum diva ambition knelt in vain, warned industry gossip. Stage-tight chaps swagger into the suite, red-glaring rockets launched. From behind, each ravishes the worshiping fellatrix to a simmer,...
"With Dawn occupied elsewhere, Teri makes a startling discovery..."

"Dawn makes a move, and a stranger returns the favor."
*Teri*By noon, the sky is a clean slate in a color movie stars, myopic or not, would want to tint their contacts. Beyond the shore break's pearly grin, Dawn and I are frolicking like seals between gentle sapphire swells and...
His scarlet throb traces my lips, slickens them in a honeyed froth. Though blinded by silk noir haze, I divine its hue from its hardness. It probes, a plum brimming with the taste of his control, the first breach of unclothed...
"It's just sex... isn't it?"
January 2019Half an inch from clearing the history, the cursor skids to a halt when five forgotten downloads rivet her attention. What was an innocent routine of moving some trip photos between devices takes a disturbing twist as a seaside day's souvenirs are eclipsed by the radioactive, quintet wink of...
"Getting to know the new girl"
Tranquilized by the tide's rhythmic whoosh, I'm drifting into a solar-powered nap when a cavalry of baritone chatter trumpets reveille. My head abandons its forearm pillow, radar ready to scope out the hung and the shirtless."New arrivals, two o'clock." A pack of upperclassmen - Bowdoin, probably - shucks and...
