Lindsay Debout

I live in the English countryside with a loving spouse, two equally wonderful children and assorted pets who have their affectionate moments – usually when they’re hungry.I like to write adult-themed stories featuring realistic women coping with realistic situations: no vampires, zombies, aliens or eye-watering sexual gymnastics. Any sexual content is appropriate, realistic and fully consensual.Writing is an occasional pastime; my goal isn’t fabulous riches, but simply to entertain.

By the time she stood up, Tyler was already ready and waiting by the door. She went over and allowed him to help her on with her coat. Thank you. Outside the church the sky was starlit and the wind was cool. Once through the gate, they strolled off down the hill side by side.

Heather’s heart always beat faster whenever Tyler was near. She would go to the Tuesday meetings anyway, but knowing he would be there made them even more… pleasant. He wasn’t her boyfriend as such, but he did seem to find her company enjoyable as well. Maybe, given time…

They talked theology and sociology and food and charity work. Anyone eavesdropping would have been bored to tears, but for Heather the time flew by. They had only been socialising for the few months since she started attending the local church after moving to the area, but it felt as if she’d known him for years.
