Mastery, is a good handle for you, Bob. The master of surprise. You caught me again. As you wrote the MO on Arnie I thought you were describing me in my working days, except for the rug; the 6th paragraph summed it up pretty good. He's even got the nickname for his wife, a must. The seduction by Lady Geneva was so good that the reader can't sort fantasy from fact. We wake up to find him in bed with his wife, Maureen, finishing the long anticipated love act.
Exceptional descriptive writing and a brilliant story. Kenny

Very nice job, Bob. A little fantasy role-playing can
go a long way to spice up a neglected love life.
I wish you the best with the voters. This should do well.

Peace, Lee

'...backed his wrecker into it(s) parking slot at work and headed out.'--Bob I know what you're saying, but it actually sounds like he's backing in and heading out at the same time.

This is very well written and fooled the reader until the end. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme. A very good job of writing.

Well, this was certainly a hot piece of writing. I really did think he was getting ready to cheat on his wife, but you fooled me good with this. Role-playing is a fun as a couple's imagination. (I'm thinking Santa and Mrs. Clause now. No, wait. Santa cheating on Mrs. Clause with a hot little elf. LOL)

This was great, Bob. I really enjoyed it.

Note:
... lot like fresh road kill.(Now that was just wrong! LOL)

Well that was a good write ,but I guessed the ending half way. I'm not saying it wasn't a success, because it kept my interest right to the end. A well written story needs no correction. Mary

    Well, thank you,Blaze! What advice are you speaking of? Sory. You mean the Elmore Leonard ten rules of writing? A belated Happy Birthday btw. You are such a sweet person. Bob
reply by Larissa B on 14-Oct-2012
    NO, the one in your story... about making time for each other as couples. This story rings true for all married couples out there whose love life gets buried in the shuffle of everything unsexy!lol!!
    Thanks & I'm happy to read you again.

    Hi, Tammy. Thanks so much for the encouraging words and the six stars. What a gal. I appreciate all that you do in support of my writing. Unfortunately, fans will not get to vote on this one....it's a committee deal so I don't hold much anxiety about winning. Lots of good stuff out there. Thanks again...Bob

This is absolutely marvelous. Superbly written with strong sensual imagery that was topped off by the realization that he was with his wife. That is the proverbial icing on the cake. I enjoyed this immensely and wish you all the best in the contest.
