After our run in the park, I didn't hear from Ryan for almost two weeks. We had walked out of the park together with Dick's arm around my waist. He had tucked his hand into the back pocket of my opposite cheek. The pocket wasn't meant to be functional, of course, the pants being as tight as they were. So Dick's large hand was clearly outline as he pinched...
Chapter Five: David Rapier was an interesting setup. Abilene is much like any other small city of about 100,000 people. The vice is there; it just isn't out in the front room. In the case of Rapier, the club was located in the heart of the red-light district of a few blocks around North and South 1st Streets. But out front was what would ordinarily be taken...
I grew restless, lying there on my back in my rented house in the northern Wilmington, Delaware, fringe and watching the light from the lighthouse in back sweep across my bed through the window, leave me, and then when I almost had gone to sleep, sweep across me again. I'd taken enough Benadryl before going to bed to knock out a horse, but it wasn't putting...
6 * * * * * * It took me two hours of dwelling on the conversations I had over the last week to realise it came down to one thing. I loved Paul and he loved me. I had to talk to him for the sake of both of us, even if that conversation was the end of all my dreams of the future. I tried to delay things further by working through what I would say, and how h...
Even though Josh was exhibiting an outwardly happy demeanor the next half dozen weeks, Kyle was more than aware that the estrangement with his mother was weighing on his mind often. The few times he got him to talk about it, Josh only reiterated how he considered the problem entirely her making and therefore hers to deal with. The only communication that had...
"Will you at least turn out the lights?" I asked Mark. He chuckled then reached over to the lamp beside the sofa and turned it off. "Is that better?" he asked. The living room was darker, but the light in the kitchen was still on; we were now silhouettes sitting side-by-side, but I continued feeling self-conscious. When I remained motionless he said, "Y...
Chapter One- Luann Luann watched the white, fluffy flakes as they filtered through her view in the blinds. It had been snowing since early morning and she was happy to be inside the warmth of Ryan’s flower shop. Her thick mock turtleneck and flannel shirt kept her warm on the outside, but inside she needed nothing extra to warm her; she was already burning...
Chapter One The small man trembled with fear as he stood outside the inner office. His boss would not be happy hearing the news that he carried about another failed mission and another dead operative. The man wished that this message was not his to deliver, but wishing would not change anything. His hand reached out and softly knocked on the inner office do...
Due to the numerous emails I have received in regards to continuing this story, I thought it best to do another one so here it is. I hope you like it and thank you again to everyone for their kind words of encouragement. * "What a wonderful world..." He sings happily. I pounce on him as he enters the room, making him drop his bags whilst I devour his pre...
"Why d'you stop the car?" Rob asked full of concern. I gripped the steering wheel tightly and didn't speak. He reached over and rubbed my shoulder lightly. "Babe, you've been back before, it's ok." "I know, and I feel exactly the same. I don't know - I don't know what I'm doing here," I sighed and his hand moved to the back of my neck. "You're here becau...
