Author Notes:
The
Perspectives Series
was created as a study of how our perception of people and events is largely influenced by our point of view. As you read the distinct stories of these characters, and become more invested in their lives, your perception of them and their situations will likely change.
There are four novels in this collection, with the first volume being split into two distinct parts:
Volume One: Jess (Part One, Part Two)
Volume Two: Martin
Volume Three: Jill
Volume Four: Teresa
Together, these stories are about the intertwined journey of several ordinary people as they struggle through relationships, personal revelations, conflict, and unplanned life events. The characters are purely fictional, but familiar, nonetheless.
This was my first attempt at writing some years ago. My writing style has evolved somewhat since, as I've established a distinct style and cadence. Rather than rewriting these volumes, I've decided to just dust them off and release them as they were written. It's not my best work, but the stories are interesting enough, I think.
Categorizing these stories for Literotica has been difficult because they span everything from mild BDSM, to Exhibitionism/Voyeur; from Anal, to Erotic Couplings, and Romance. I've tried to place each story appropriately, as best I could. In addition, these volumes
do not have to be read in any particular order
, nor is it necessary to read all of them. They are standalone novels/novellas.
Perspectives Series: Martin
is about a philandering Voyeur who starts his own business, becomes successful, meets the right woman, and finally grows up. It is not a heavy read, however. It's full of interesting situations and lots of sex. I've decided to categorize this novel under Exhibitionism/Voyeur. I could just as easily file this story under any number of other categories.
Warning:
Voyeurism, group sex, swapping, M/F/F, workplace sexual harassment
As always, I hope you enjoy these tales. Feel free to comment, and/or send feedback. And, thanks for all your support!
MARTIN
Chapter 1
~
I sure as hell can't do it by myself. I'm feeling like a dog in heat. Barred indoors from the summer street... I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key....
God this was a great concert.
I remember this shit like it happened yesterday.
Simon and I were fucked up and we brought two chicks back to his place after the concert. The one chick started throwing up and passed out cold on the bathroom floor.
Simon put a Green Day CD on and cranked up the volume. I grabbed three beers out of the frig. This girl started dancing around the living room. She was completely tripping on X.
I don't remember this drive taking this long last night. How does this chick get to work on time? I guess I lost track with her head in my lap.
~
I got no motivation. Where is my motivation? No time...
"Oh, I forgot. That was fuckin' HILARIOUS!"
At one point, Simon had to go to the john. He walked all the way to the master bathroom. I don't know why he bothered, I just peed in the hall bath. It's not like she was going to wake up or anything. Anyway,
oh, this was hysterical...
I got this chick to take off her shirt. She was hot from dancing around so much, and so I just suggested we both take off our shirts. And she did it. Simon came walking down the hall toward us. His eyes bugged out of his head!
~
Bite my lip and close my eyes. Take me away to paradise. I'm so damn bored I'm going blind...
It's taking FOREVER to get home. Move to the city, sweetheart. God, I need coffee.
I glanced at the clock on the dash as I pulled in the driveway, 9:00am.
I've always been an early riser. I can't help it. It doesn't matter what I did the night before, it's just a waste to stay in bed sleeping.
Simon was lying on the couch reading the newspaper when I walked in.
"Hey, what's up? Anything interesting in the paper?" I walked past him and into the kitchen toward the coffee pot.
"Hey." He didn't look up from the paper.
I dug around for the biggest mug I could find.
I have bigger ones but mine are all packed away in storage. I like that, 'I have bigger ones...' That works in more ways than one.
I'm so clever.
Simon closed the paper, folded it in half, and tossed it on the coffee table.
"How was the party?"
"OK."
I walked into the living room with a video tape in my hand and held it up to show him.
"Who?" Simon asked.
"Jeanne. She should look familiar. She's the one I brought here last week. Remember?"
"Yeah. How did you get her to film?"
"She was dying to do it, I could tell. I mean, she didn't think anything about you watching me fuck her last week."
"What was she supposed to do? You were already fucking her in the living room when I got home. Was she supposed to stop and protest?"
I just laughed.
"And you left the party the same time I did." Simon added.
"I'm a fast mover, what can I say?"
"You know, I just stood there for your benefit."
"Oh, yeah, RIGHT! You don't like live porn?! Now that's funny."
Simon liked to pull the old,
it's not right
act on me, but I knew better. I've known him since we were kids. Simon changed the subject.
"So, do you start work at your new job on Monday or Tuesday?"
"Monday"
"Did you ever settle on an office?"
"Yeah, I'm taking the one closest to the front door. The problem is that I don't have an Admin."
"Who's going to handle the typing? Not you."
"No, I'm getting one, she hasn't been hired yet. They've been interviewing. They promise me I'll have someone in the next couple of weeks."
"Will you get a say in who they pick?"
"I made sure of that. They've got it narrowed down to a few choices."
I headed down the hall toward my bedrooms. Simon used the master bedroom, and I got the two adjacent rooms. I used one room for sleeping, and the other one for storage and editing. I ducked into the editing room with my tape in hand.
After rewinding, I began immediately reviewing the footage.
"Oh, FUCK!" I yelled out loud. "Simon, come here and look at this shit."
He walked in and took a position behind my chair. He leaned into the screen and watched for a few seconds.
"What am I looking for? Nice rhythm."
"Thank you. Wait a second....wait...THERE! Did you see that?"
"What?"
"Let me back it up. See?! See how she just turned her head and looked directly at the camera?"
"Yeah."
"I hate that shit. I told her to ignore it. I can't believe...SHIT! See that? She did it again. I tell you, I've got to set up hidden cameras."
"Wasn't this at her place?" Simon studied the screen.
"Yeah. I don't mean when I'm at other places, I mean when I move into my house."
"Oh, yeah. Well, I guess you'll have to do something like that. You've been doing this a long time, hasn't this been a problem before?"
"Yeah, but more lately. Look at how grainy that is. I need to replace this camera."
"The resolution is real low. How long have you had it?"
"Shit, I don't know. Maybe 6 years or so. It was one of my first."
Simon left and I finished copying the footage onto disk and editing it. Even though it wasn't my best work, I could still post it out on the user group.
They'll like this one's tight little ass.
The first week at the new job went by fast. I got settled in my new office by around Wednesday and started focusing on business. My chair faced the door where I have a direct view of the Secretary's desk. It sat empty, which reminded me to walk down to the Office Manager's desk.
"Sarah?"
"Yes, Martin. What can I help you with? Are you getting settled OK?"
"Yeah. I'm all moved in. When can I meet the interviewees for Secretary?"
"You mean, Administrative Assistant?"
"Uh, yes. Sorry."
"We have two candidates for you to meet with. I didn't want to set anything up until you were settled. Would you like for me to set that up for Monday?"
"I'd like to set it up for tomorrow. I want to get this out of the way so I can get to work."
"Oh, uh, OK. I'll see what I can do."
"Good, I'm open tomorrow so just let me know what time. Preferably in the morning and back-to-back."
Sarah squinted her eyes and pursed her lips. She was obviously not used to working with someone as decisive as me.
She's kind of cute in her own way. I think I can fix that attitude.
It obviously didn't bother her too much. She set up back-to-back meetings as requested for 9:30am and 10:30am the following day.
The first gal was OK. She was an older woman, in her early fifties. She seemed to have adequate skills. Sarah knew what she was doing as far as screening candidates for competency. Both candidates were qualified on paper. I finished the interview at 10:10am. I didn't have anything more to talk about with her, so I walked her to the door and stepped into my office.
As I sat down at my desk, I noticed a pair of heels sitting in the reception area. I must've breezed right past her. She was probably a Real Estate agent waiting for her client. We get that sometimes. I was engrossed in e-mail when I noticed that someone was still sitting there – I could see the same pair of shoes. I glanced at my watch, 10:25. I got up and walked to my doorway.
She didn't notice me right away. She had long, slender legs that disappeared under a short, tight linen skirt. Her breasts were perky underneath her silk blouse and I immediately noticed the lace outline of her bra. She had a long neck, high cheekbones and delicate features. Her straight brown hair offset her green eyes beautifully. She nervously waved her crossed leg which caused her shoe to drop off her heel every fifth swing or so.
She ran her manicured fingers along her scalp and through her hair until they came to rest at the base of her neck, holding her hair in a ponytail while she bent down and replaced her shoe. She paused to admire her shoes for a moment before sitting back in her chair and releasing her hair. She wore almost no jewelry, and her clothing was simple. There was nothing to distract your eyes from her natural beauty.
I felt the stir in my jeans.
I would kill for a video camera right now.
She looked up and made eye contact with me. Then she smiled.
"Hi! Are you waiting for someone?" I asked.
"Hi! Yes, I am. I'm here to meet with Martin Sullivan."
