Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I was born and raised in Wheeling, WV. I joined the WV Army National Guard (retired) and attended WV Northern Virginia Northern Community College and received an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. I moved to Washington DC and begin a career in security for the federal government. I achieved my goal of becoming a police officer in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I moved to Richmond, VA and would drive to Northern Virginia for work. I listened to books on tape and CD from some of the great writers of today during the 2 hour journey. I was listening to an interview with an author who made the statement that she believed everyone has at least one good book in them. The statement the author made and the support of my family and friends made an impact and gave me the incentive to write the book that had been in my head for 3 years.

Chapter One

Upshur Logan couldn't complain. He'd enjoyed fairly good life. He enjoyed a football scholarship at Ohio State University after leaving that small town in the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia. He'd even gotten a ring from one of the bowl games the team played in and had been drafted in the late rounds to the pros. Everything had been going well until he'd blown his knee out in his sixth year for the third time ending his career. His wife had left him and taken the children. She'd found another pro athlete to marry. Now he got to see the kids once a month and sends a support check every two weeks. Logan was an average-looking man and had started to develop a small paunch belly. He was still in fairly good shape. He hadn't looked for another woman since his wife had left.

Logan had a friend from college George Hampshire who invited him to join the family insurance firm. George had run the firm since finishing college. Upshur took the job and rose to a vice president position quickly. The job included a lot of travel, which helped take his mind off some of his other problems. Upshur figured the money wasn't bad though it was nowhere near his pro salary. Luckily, he'd enough time in to collect a pension.

Logan had to go to the Washington, DC, area this week to conduct a presentation on medical insurance for a large company. The Hampshire Insurance Company was trying to venture into new products and the company needed Logan to set the tone for the new line. Logan arrived at the Goldberg Hotel in Arlington, Virginia on Sunday. He figured that the presentation wasn't until Wednesday in Reston, Virginia and he had several claims to settle in the area for the insurance company. He would have a little rest and could complete his work without too much stress. He settled in and went to the hotel restaurant. He needed to see the first client with the insurance pay out in the morning to settle that business. He could then take in some of the capitals sights. He had his laptop in the restaurant and was still working on the health insurance presentation.

The restaurant had mood lighting that was dim. Logan did not notice her entrance. Everyone else did. The light skinned woman entered the room, and it was as if it was a time warp had stopped everything. The cacophony in the bar seemed to stop if only for a second, when she walked into the room. The woman five foot nine inches with the face of an angel, and the build of a brick shithouse was of mixed race with light cinnamon skin. Her hair was shoulder length, and she wore sunglasses. She was dressed in a skirt of mint green with a slit up the thigh, a matching jacket, gloves that came to her elbows and an off-white blouse. She sat on a stool at the bar and ordered a club soda.

Five minutes went by and she walked over to Logan's table. "I know you," she said. "You're Upshur Logan aren't you?"

Logan didn't look up from his computer and said, "I don't give autographs."

"Upshur, I went to Ohio State with you. "I'm Carla Hardy. Don't you remember me?"

Logan looked up "I don't recall you. Someone as beautiful as you I believe I would remember."

Carla blushed, "I was in a history class with you. I kept my head in the books all the time and you never noticed me."

Logan looked again. "Sorry I didn't." Logan paused as her stunning beauty caught his eyes." Where are my manners? Would you like to join me for dinner, and I will see if I can remember you. You look familiar but I just can't remember you."

They sat had dinner and talked for an hour. Logan told Carla about his career, his ex wife and his kids. Carla told Logan that she had been a teacher in Chicago for awhile but had to leave because she needed a change in her life. She said she would be in town on business for a few days and a girlfriend suggested this restaurant.

The dinner was over Carla got up to leave she asked "Upshur for a business card and whether they could share dinner tomorrow night, if she wasn't being to forward." Logan smiled, pulled out a business card, wrote the hotel phone number and his room and cell numbers on the back and gave her the card. Carla wrote her cell number on a napkin. Carla left the bar before Logan and he didn't see which way she departed the hotel.

Logan left the bar soon after Carla and went to his room. Carla looks so familiar but I just don't recall her. It was almost 11:00PM Logan decided to take a shower and get some sleep. Just as he was ready to go in the bathroom, he heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" He inquired.

"It's Carla."

Logan opened the door with the chain and saw the beauty with whom he'd had dinner standing in the hall. She must have preformed a quick change. Carla had on black leather pants with a matching vest held fastened by one button and no blouse under it, black gloves, high-heeled boots, black ball cap, and sunglasses and was carrying a gym bag. Her belly button was showing and it was pierced with a small diamond-studded ring. Logan got an instant hard-on when he saw it.

"I did not want to wait until tomorrow to see you again." Carla cooed. "Well, are you going to invite me in or leave me in the hall?"

"Come in please, gulped Logan."

Carla looked in Logan's eyes and said "Now I am being forward. I fantasized about you when we were in college and always thought you were too far away for me to reach. I wanted you badly and then by chance we run into each other, and it brought back feelings. The best thing about a fantasy is the possibility that it may come true."

She grabbed him and pressed her mouth hard into his mouth, probing her tongue deep inside his throat. She could feel the swell mounting in his robe. Carla told Logan it had been a long time since she had been with anyone, but she needed the warmth." He acknowledged her by saying, "he hadn't been with a woman since his wife."

Carla told Logan to take a shower. She would fix drinks and be ready for him.

When Logan came out of the bathroom Carla had two drinks ready and was stripped to a nice, hot pink lace, Victoria Secret's bra and panty set, and pink elbow-length gloves.

Logan looked at her firm body with her large breasts needing to bust free of the bra.

Logan asked; "Why the gloves?"

Carla explained "I worked in a tannery when I was a teen. The chemicals made my hands sensitive to the touch. The gloves help somewhat but not much."

They drank a little first and then he wrapped his arms around her and kneaded her firm, round, apple-shaped ass, as they explored each other's mouth. He took off her bra to reveal her fat tits poking out at him, and he sucked and gently squeezed them until they were as hard as his dick. She started to caresses his throbbing dick with her hand. He felt as if he could explode at that point. Logan stripped off his robe and Carla took off her panties. Logan looked at her shaved pussy in wonderment.

Carla said "If a bald pussy upsets you, I can leave."

Logan said "No I have never had a shaved one."

They had another drink. Carla asked, "Are you ready for some of this?"

Carla pushed him onto the bed. She mounted his face as to position her pussy over his mouth. Logan kissed on her clit, and ran his tongue around her pussy lips. He felt her body tremble as she grounded her love box into his mouth and had an explosive orgasm.
