Caught by a Kitten (Part 4)

"Laura feels a need for a sexual safety-net, and is surprised by the one she finds."

I awoke next morning, refreshed after a heavenly night’s sleep, naked, in a bed seemingly impregnated with the fluids and scents of Sue-Ann and of our previous day’s loving. For awhile, I lay there luxuriating in sensual memories, but I...

Local Affairs (3): Interlude

"Andrea's friend Sarah returns Greg's briefcase, and they enjoy some quality time together."

Readers are advised to read “Local Affairs" parts 1 & 2 first.  Being awakened by a ringing phone before eight in the morning was not Greg’s idea of the leisurely Sunday lie-in he had hoped to have; but the melodious...

"Fifty-something Laura meets a young woman who finds her attractive."

The last time I saw her, she had been a gawky twelve-year-old, stuck awkwardly between childhood and womanhood. That was eight years ago. The difference took my breath away. I was fifty-three, and five years widowed. It had been a...

"Joanna and Fenella have phone sex."

After the bright, brisk Hello with which she answered the phone, Fenella’s next words, Oh Jo, how lovely, came at a lower, more intimate pitch, with a throaty, feline vibrancy that sent pleasurable shivers over my skin. “Are you back...

Catching Up (Part 5)

"Joanna learns more about Fenella than she bargained for."

My route home took me through relatively undamaged areas that were free of roadblocks and time-consuming diversions. My elderly neighbour Fred Curtis was out mowing his front lawn and gave me a cheery wave as I turned into my driveway....

Catching Up (Part 4)

"Reality catches up with Jo, her aunt gives her the comfort she needs, and she hears from Fenella."

A poem by another of Fen’s and my favourite French poets begins with a couple of lines about languorous ecstasy and amorous fatigue (the whole poem, C’est l’extase langoureuse, has been beautifully set by Gabriel Fauré). “Amorous fatigue” – yes,...

The Renaissance of Veronica

"What she most feared opens a door to unimagined joy."

Veronica Page had always been what convention described as “faithful” to Ken, and had never strayed from their marital bed; yet in recent years she had, with growing frequency, felt passingly tempted. But never by men; it had always been...
