"Two people thrown together in an airport coach station and sharing a brief, blissful time"
It was two weeks before Christmas and I had been compelled to swap the heat of the Caribbean, where I was living, for the chill of England. Family business. A funeral, in fact.I was travelling in the warmest clothes I...
"Big beautiful black woman allows me access to her most private parts"
I had been going to this evening class for a few weeks, learning to do fancy things on Microsoft, and there was more to it than met the eye. In some ways I felt like an idiot, because although I...
"Nowhere to go, nothing to do, and then suddenly: there's a girl"
I have always liked travelling in a quite unplanned way – just moving around where the mood takes me and seeing what I find. It makes you a bit vulnerable, but if you’ve got self-confidence and a belief that you’re...
"I've finished with her friend, so now can I start with her?"
There’s this brilliant episode of Seinfeld called The Switch. It’s about trying to move from one girl to her flatmate (Americans call it roommate, but they’re not sharing a room, they’re sharing an apartment.) I found myself in a similar situation...
"You want her and she wants you. Sometimes all it needs is something to break the ice."

"They've been dying for this moment, and it's now or never"

"The big waitress is an exotic dish I can't resist"
There were two bars to choose from on this little Caribbean island: the tiny one on the beach and the slightly bigger one across the street. That was called the Journeyman, and it was where I used to go not...
"Friend leaves town and his girlfriend and I wrestle with our conscience"
“You probably think she’d be great in bed, but she’s not.”That was my best friend, Al, talking about his girlfriend, who he’d been with for several years. We had hung out as three, comfortable in each other’s company and with me...
"They don't really know each other, but a loving feeling is a different matter"
I could tell when I was about to get a new neighbor because one of the cleaners would turn up and do her stuff in whichever cabin it was to be. The cabins were in a big, ramshackle property near...
"Shy woman comes across in style"
It was the Christmas party, in the offices, and I had been getting stuck into the wine. Caroline had been nursing the same glass for half an hour, so it was no longer beaded with condensation, but dry outside and...
