Pumping Iron


I hadn't realized how dark it is at 5:30 a.m. until this morning. It was my first day of work at Smith, Kline Dodson and Roarke a well established and extremely well connected law firm in Northeast San Antonio. On my first interview with the Director of Personnel, I was informed that the firm prided itself on it's Christian, pro-life, politically motivated focus and I was expected to conform to the tenants of the charter should I wish to be hired. Needing to become employed on a full time basis after my recent divorce, I determined it was not the time to share every one of my inner secrets. I had no doubt in my mind that I could function very well in the company environment without compromising either mine or their individual beliefs.

Oh, by the way, I felt it was inappropriate on the first interview to share with the Director of Personnel that I was a lesbian and had been for as long as I could remember. Although I felt very devout in my religious beliefs, I fully realized that my church did not share my zeal for an alternate lifestyle. It was considered in conflict with the teachings of my faith.

Cabled


Even though she was expecting someone, Kimberly still jumped when the doorbell rang. It had been like this lately. A thick, palpable tension crackled around her, transporting her far from the present, leaving her exposed, vulnerable. Literally exposed, she discovered, for she had been standing naked before the full length mirror in the hallway of her apartment when the doorbell rang.

Though Kimberly had convinced herself that her staring at her own image in the mirror had not been planned, it too had been occurring more and more lately. She blamed the heat of the August day; and it was hot, well over ninety. She had been cleaning up in the kitchen when her own body heat had become unbearable, soaking her shorts and T-shirt with slick sweat. After stripping and tossing the clothes into the laundry, she was going back to her bedroom when she passed herself in the mirror.

Before she was even aware that she had stopped, her head had spun quickly, as if she had caught sight of someone attractive.

Sherri's Story


The snow gave way to a world that was waking after the long slumber of winter. The air was warmer, the grass greener and more people were outdoors. Yet in this world of new beginnings and light, I had something heavy in my heart. I wasn't quite sure what it was but I felt restless somehow. Although I loved my husband more than anything else in the world, I wanted something more, I wanted to explore - I didn't know what. Bobby and I had fallen into the same old habit - he was away a lot and worked all the time. I taught high school English and also worked on my Master's degree. I wanted to have fun and do something thrilling. I hadn't been out with my girlfriends in months, and I even tended to stay home on the weekends when Bobby was working. I was bored and funky.

I felt like that the day I met Sherri. I had just come home from school on a very warm Saturday. I had an mid-morning class so it was only 2:00 PM when I got home. I slowly trudged up the stairs to the bedroom and stripped off my clothes. I then jumped into the shower to wash off my makeup and clean up. Just as I was getting out, I heard the doorbell ring. Soaking wet, I slipped into a terry cloth robe and ran to the door.

Fantasy


I had always been fascinated with the thought of making love to another woman but I never had to courage to act out my fantasy. Finally on my 25th birthday I decided it was time. My only problem was I didn't know exactly how to find a willing participant. I decided to take out a personal ad. It didn't seen to work. I got hundreds of replies but I just couldn't find the one I was looking for. I started going to a bar named Fran's Place. I got to know a few people after months of patronage. I still hadn't found what I was looking for.

It was a warm April evening and I was sitting at the bar when she walked in. She was absolutely beautiful. She had long red hair and the bluest eyes I have ever seen. She sat in the empty chair next to me. All I could do was stare at her. She noticed I was staring and introduced herself as Alisha. As the evening went on we started talking like old friends. She was so easy to talk to. It seemed that I could tell her anything. 2 am came around and she invited me back to her place. I accepted anxiously. She didn't live too far from the bar. Her apartment was small but enough room for one person. She asked me if I wanted a beer and I said sure. As she handed me the beer my fingertips brushed hers.

Dark and Stormy Night


A sudden flash of lightning filled the small cabin, causing the transistor radio to momentarily crackle with static. A few seconds later, the June night was filled with a resounding crash as the sound of thunder caught up with the light. The storm had been raging for a little over two hours, alternating between violent clashes in the sky and the steady patter of rain against the windows. "That was a good one!" Exclaimed the dark haired girl as she clapped in appreciation of the sudden illumination. "You wouldn't think so if we were out there." Replied her companion as she pointed out the large bay windows to the lake beyond. "But we're not, are we?" The first girl retorted in an exaggerated pout. "Sometimes you can be such a worrier."

"You're right." The first girl answered. "But one of us has to have some sense. Otherwise you'd have us out on the lake because you'd get a better view." "Hey that's an idea." Robyn said in mock seriousness. "We could take one of the boats down by the dock and..." "Don't even think it...." Valerie cut her off in a dead stop tone. Both girls then broke in laughter.

Chocolate Dreams


Getting into her car, Vivienne Wu angrily slammed the door of her sleek black convertible. She was a vision of glittering diamond necklace and bracelet, lustrous upswept hair, and perfect ivory complexion, decked out in black stiletto heels and black silk stockings.

All day spent at the spa, hours with her hair and meticulous makeup for her husband's birthday dinner tonight, all for nothing. When she'd telephoned his office to confirm his early arrival, he'd been apologetic and said he'd have to have a business dinner tonight instead. Dinner would be ruined. Furious words had ensued, and she'd icily wished him good luck on finding her at home when he eventually returned.

As she roared out of the carport, Vivienne dialed Rebecca, her best friend and confidante. Another "trophy" wife, Rebecca Sommersby had been Vivienne's oldest friend since she'd emigrated to America. Driving aimlessly through the small suburb of Willow Lake, Vivienne fumed into the telephone.
