EXTRACT FOR
The Realtor's Discount
(David Monroe)

Diane Placcard sat that afternoon in her little cubicle at Westhampton Realty and stared at the wall. She had walked away from a good job to relocate with her boyfriend who had a new job offer in an area that had no real opportunities for what Diane was trained for and had been doing for the last 10 years. But she loved him and was sure she could find another avocation for herself in the new location. The move was to a borderline resort area that Diane knew was a prime hot spot for real estate. Certainly sales was not her forte, but she imagined money just rolling in hand over fist based on the listing prices of the average home there. She took a month-long leave of absence from her old job, liquidating the last of her paid vacation days and enrolled in a highly recommended  real estate school.

She finished the coursework, which was, as she had suspected far beneath her intellect. The only sticking point was working her way through and understanding all the various contracts involved, but with sheer repetition and practice she figured it all out. She took the state exams and voila...she was a licensed realtor. But success in the field continued to elude her. She took all the seminars and went to all the webinars and other offerings that were supposed to help a newbie get a leg up, but for Diane it just did not seem to make any difference. But despite the paucity of listings and buyers she was pulling in she kept at it sure that success for her was just around the corner.

But when Brian, he boyfriend, the one she had made all these sacrifices for came home one day to announce he was leaving her for another woman, Diane was shell-shocked. There had been no indication that he was unhappy with her and that anything was amiss. In fact, since they had moved to this isolated little village in the mountains of Colorado, their sex life had actually gotten better-at least it had for Diane. Back in Denver it had been pretty damn good as it was. Brian never failed to leave her wanting...well...unless she was so horny that she wanted him multiple times in one night. But here out away from everyone with no one around to hear their cries of passion but the birds and other assorted wildlife, Diane was experiencing sensations and having an intensity of orgasms she had not thought possible.
