"My goodness. I wonder how she had the gall to show up here." "Who, Mrs. Smythe?" Samuel de Kock asked, turning to see the direction in which his companion was launching the piercing daggers of her eyes.

A/N: Three years later. Wow. Your comments have caused me to fall back into this story. No excuses here; let's get on with it! _________ "I didn't ruin the barbeque, did I?" "No," Grayson chuckles. I hear beeping on his end of the line. "I just wish I were there before things got out of hand." I haven't moved from my bed since I woke up two hours ago. A...
"You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough." - William Blake Chapter II: The thick underbrush covered my sweaty unclothed body from the watchful eye of the police pursuing me.

"You can't be fucking serious!" "Oh I can be, baby, and I am." He said plainly. "Stephen! I can't wear this shit outside! It's one thing when you and I are playing around in the house, but not out there. What if someone sees me?" "Who's going to recognize you in that? No one. Besides we agreed." "No we didn't agree! You made up the rules and then said we...
Chapter Twenty-Nine -- Don't Say You've Never Done Anything For Me Heathcliff felt like an automaton as he moved through the house. First things first, he needed to sort out what the hell was going on with those so-called healthy drinks Aidan's company was selling. If there was something bad in them, that was bad for him, too. At least, that was a topic he...
It was the third Sunday of the month, one of my favourite days. It was market day. I walked around the market, a field where dozens of stalls had been set up to sell goods of all kinds. There was a park at one end of the field where children laughed and played. People wandered around lazily with their families, many with dogs, talking and inspecting the ware...
