addiction shit first, and you
won’t even let me get through that part. It wasn’t that long ago you
and me were trying out our open-relationship thing. But please, Greg. Wow. Give
me a break.” She took a breath, eyeing him down. “I know we’re
not your everyday, average couple. But I mean, just because you shook the freak
in you so easily doesn’t mean I can do the same at the same pace.
It’s like you won’t even wait until I get through a few meetings
without acting like I should be Polly Purebred when I walk in the door. This is
serious, honey. I need your patience. But I have to tell you that if you
can’t deal with this, then let me know now. Don’t waste my time.
Please. Hell, I am not getting any younger,
mijo.
”
Upon her last word he looked down at the floor, then eyed his desk and turned
toward the computer screen. “Valencia, you know I want you. That’s
why this is so important to me.” He clicked the mouse.
“Then give me a break. Please.” She took in the object of his
sudden focus. “And what the hell are you doing? Are you on
MySpace?”
“No.” He cleared his throat. “I was looking on the Home
Depot site so I can get those low-flow toilets this weekend.”
“All right, now.” She cautiously stood and grabbed her purse.
“Anyway, I’m gonna go home and change. I’m going
out.”
He glanced up at the oversized iron wall clock over his desk. “This
late? Out where?”
“Over to Purple for a minute.”
“You’re kidding, right?” He spoke with his back still
turned.
“No. I’m not. Where would you prefer I go?”
“You know, go on ahead.” His voice told on his frustrated
thoughts.
She stepped to him and again kissed the top of his head. “And hey. Get
off that computer. Even if that shit
is
MySpace. You know how your ass
is, Gregorio.” She walked away and exited his office.
“I’m not on MySpace. Besides, I don’t think Home Depot has
a webcam link, so relax.”
Moments later, her heels could be heard clicking along the crème
travertine floor of his living room as she stepped. She yelled while opening the
front door, “Okay now. I’ll call you later.”
“You do that,” he said extraloudly.
She left and locked the door with her key.
And Greg instantly logged into www.jackoffcam.com ,
sat
back as the smooth
leather cushioned his gluteus maximus, and then pulled down his boxers, taking
his nearly raw shaft into his left hand.
He scooted down and leaned back with his legs open, assuming his regular
position.
The webcam was on.
And Greg was braced and ready to go.
As usual.

“Creep”
Brandi
W ith her medium height, medium build,
medium complexion, and medium-length hair, medium Brandi Williams had been home
for hours, relaxing after a long day of teaching her beloved eighth graders and
attending her first Sexaholics meeting. She’d also stopped by
Gelson’s Market for some bananas, her regular breakfast of choice.
She lived on the west side of Hollywood on a narrow street just south of the
Sunset Strip. Her neighbors’ quaint homes ranged from French chateau and
Venetian villa–looking houses to newly remodeled, California stuccoes. And
Brandi’s one-bedroom, eclectic-looking Spanish bungalow resembled a Hansel
and Gretel–like cottage, though life inside was far from that of a fairy
tale.
Along her lush lawn, a large nectarine tree sprouted its growth from west to
east, enough to shield her small front yard. A brief wind had kicked up, and
even after the midnight hour, a sparrow could be heard singing along one of the
slightly swaying branches. Small jasmine vines crawled along the front
stained-glass window, giving off a sweet smell.
West Hollywood, also known as Gay Village due to its large gay population,
resembled the French Quarter. It was also known for its trendy, well-known shops
and restaurants, its never-ending extravagant nightlife
