The Space Between

I make coffee in my kitchen while the wan light of early morning on the lake filters through the louvers of the Venetian blinds in the cottage. It's the last of my Blue Mountain, a gift from the griot, Kayode 'Kayo' Mackenzie of Hilton Head Island. I want it for...

Five Fingers

My pussy is stuffed full of contradictions. The last set of photographs got to me: I sent her out on an errand so I could deal with it. Midori has green eyes and blonde hair, hips like a boy and tits like the buds of a child. She's older than I am by a couple of...
