Jocelyn’s club was housed in an impressive eighteenth-century building in a quiet street. The moon came out from behind clouds just as the couple arrived, and its glow gave the staid facade an exciting aura of promise.
They were elegantly attired. “There’s no specific dress code,” Jocelyn had explained. “Most people just find something dramatic or glamorous to wear—you’ll see why.”
“It Takes W-2 to Tango” was published at The Erotic Woman in 2009.
And, of course, it was funny—if not in a “ha-ha” sense, then certainly in a “what-the-fuck?” sense. Yes, thought Galen, it was funny that a thirty-year-old executive accountant would screw up the same employee’s paperwork year after year—and his paperwork alone—with such efficient regularity that you’d think she was earning a commission on it.
Then again, he reminded himself, she was earning a sort of commission, wasn’t she?
“Doing the Math” was published at Clean Sheets in 2009.
Time slows down while conflicting and contradictory thoughts fly back and forth across his mind like bats: She said to. I’m married. It’s mistletoe. Christmas is over. She’s a colleague. She’s comfortable with it. Sharon wouldn’t like it. Sharon would like it.

“Being Myself” was published at Justus Roux’s Erotic Tales in 2009.
I stammered an unnecessary drink order to an impatient bartender. Pink smiled at me after the bartender had slammed down my two-dollar club soda and skulked away. “He really wasn’t into getting you that club soda,” she said sympathetically. Her voice was higher than I’d expected, more sweet than sultry.
“I don’t even like club soda,” I said peevishly. Then I laughed idiotically and explained: “It was the first thing that came to mind.”
“You’re a goofball,” she pronounced, making it sound like it was half compliment.
“In Her Element” was published in Scarlet magazine in 2009 [issue 58].
“In Character” was published at Black Heart Magazine in 2009.
The ethical question was, did it behoove me to explain to the amorous redhead that she was getting involved with a fictitious character, and not a real person?

“Sure, Merce, let’s race.” She giggled again. “What does the victor get?”
“Well—haha—are sexual favors off limits?” This was more my style than an unanticipated hoisting of a friend onto the top of a photocopier: easing into it, within the context of some lighthearted kidding around.
“You’re a dirty old man, Mercer.”
“Check,” I said. “Isn’t everyone?”
“No,” she reasoned crisply. “I, for example, am not a man.”
Looking over her scrumptious anatomy, I acknowledged to myself that she had an excellent point. “And not dirty?” I asked—teasing, because I was pretty damn sure she was even dirtier than I was.
“I didn’t say that.”
