YOUR TRAPEZE SWINGER BY NICOLE MODUGNO 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 76

MARILYN BY CLARA JONES 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 76

Curt’s hand stroked Marilyn’s thigh, and, as I bowed, I noticed a long leather strap bound Curt’s wrist to Marilyn’s ankle.

I straightened up abruptly, meeting Curt eye-to-eye. “Don’t be shy, boy. I won’t bite you! It’s our anniversary and we decided to go out on the town. My wife doesn’t drink but I’ll have a martini with two green olives and a lemon twist.”
