Micah Taylor sat in the chair and looked at his boss even as his stomach dropped. After two years, in which he had received only high praise for his work, he was now being thanked and dismissed. He knew there was little use in arguing, they never changed their minds, but he couldn't help himself. Everything was going so well for him here until now. "I don't...
The parking lot was flooded with a hazy artificial orange from the buzzing streetlights when Jeremy burst through the side doors of Wilson Hall. He haphazardly pulled on his pants and Bryan's shirt then took off running. He didn't want to go back to his room yet, not while the tears were still hot on his face. So he ran, barefoot, in the opposite direction o...
Chapter One Life without Luke The most wonderful day of my life occurred in August of my second year at Buckingham College, in the University of Camford. It was the day that my boyfriend Luke agreed to become my life partner. I had fallen in love with him the minute I first met him almost two years before, when we were freshmen sharing a room in college. H...
Brock Barry Peterson was the handsomest man I had ever seen. He was over six feet tall and had smooth clear skin, blue blue eyes and white white wavy hair. He was always impeccably dressed in expensive well-tailored suits, crisp ironed shirts, and tastefully colored ties. He wore a special cologne. I don't know what it was, but it was heady. Sitting across f...
It was a very melancholy time for me when I'd moved into my new house. My wife had died about a year prior and so I moved back west to be closer to my children who lived with their mother, my first wife.

On my patrols I had seen him playing his guitar around downtown; in the plazas and parks with his case open for tips. Though tonight was the first time I saw him when I was off duty. I sat at the bar, sipping my hard cider and listening to him play. The bar often had undiscovered musicians perform on the weekends and I enjoyed the fact that this was the firs...
Chapter 55: Together Again Adam and Merrick stand at the railing, staring up into the night sky. Merrick nuzzled up to Adam lovingly as their hands interlaced with each other, and Adam's other arm wrapped around Merrick. "I love you so much." Adam said as he kissed Merrick's head, "I'm so sorry for everything..." "Adam..." Merrick said, "...I'm sorry too...
The last two weeks have been the greatest of my life. Not only was I married to the man of my dreams, but also my mom was back in my life! Gina and Austin had gotten us a room at the hotel for our wedding night. I had a very hot sensuous night with my husband. Just thinking about it now made my face turn tomato red. That man amazed me every time we had se...
"Isn't she beautiful? Such sleek lines." "Yes. But for how much longer?" Paul Pettit answered his brother, Philip. They'd gone on shore in Naples for a morning away from the chaos of the quickly whipped-up double marriage ceremony and were returning to the yacht in a motor launch. The boat was anchored near the Isle of Capri, across Naples Bay. "I was talk...
"If you'll excuse us I need to check in at the Barque, I look forward to seeing you later, the table's booked for eight," Theo said standing up. "Why Adrien?" "Initially because he looked like a man who needed a friend, then I got to know him, you have an exceptional son Dorothy." "Yes, we know, we've always been proud of him," Edward replied for both...
