Before I go any further, I would like to thank everyone who read and voted for Sweetest Sin. The story won a Reader's Choice Award for December 2015. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised :) Thanks once again and Jah bless! Comments, critiques and tips are welcome. Jeremy Stanton vs. Ryan Hicks Caution - This chapter contains some violence. I thought it...
I am sorry, I know it's been nearly a year since DJ 4 was published. I had placed this on hold, attempting to finish the Prison School series before continuing this one. I learned a bitter lesson - not to try writing two stories at the same time. I finally uploaded Prison School - The final chapter (or CH 31) and it was published about 2 weeks ago. (early Oc...
[This story continues 'Luke's early years.' All persons and institutions in the story are fictitious. Some places are real, others are fictitious.] Chapter 13 Buckingham College, Camford As I stood there on the pavement in Buckingham Street, looking at the golden-yellow stonework of the seventeenth-century frontage of the college, beautiful in the October...
Greg * I pushed Eli down on the bed with a hard shove and fell on top of him. He laughed. It was a great, joyous sound. "You have no idea how hot you are," I said. "I'm not hot," he said. "The fact that you don't know it, just makes you even hotter," I said. I nibbled little bites up his neck. "And don't contradict me again. You're the fucking hottest t...
I stepped into the classroom, my heart beating so hard that I was scared the other students could hear it. I felt my face flush as a few heads turned my way, and I started to wish I was anywhere but here. I started to evaluate myself in my head; what must I look like? Did my outfit look too flashy? Did it look like I was trying too hard? Was my hair a mess?...
It was that next Friday night and Maddy and I were snuggling on the couch together getting stoned. Such was our preferred method of stay-in style weekends. We'd gone out a number of times throughout the week. We specifically wanted to talk in public about our crazy new obsession with Tom. We'd spent that whole week having all sorts of amazing sex. We'd bee...
Reno let himself into the Shinjuku-sanchome, Tokyo, art gallery hallway and quietly went from room to room, running along the left of the hallway from front to back, to make sure that Haruo had closed down everything properly. Haruo's better innings were past him. He seemed to be deteriorating more and more each day. He had suggested that Reno might want to...
[These are chapters 1 and 2 of four postings in eight chapters, to complete posting by the end of March 2020.] Chapter One: Welcome to the Gulf, Chris Carter The combination of knock-out pills, which didn't completely work, and liquor, on the run from Frankfurt to the Arabian Peninsula would have had me staggering off the plane onto the tarmac even if the...
"Why don't you take some time to think about it?" "No, Dad. I just want to get the hell out of here." I demanded, letting my head fall back against the door. I should have known this wouldn't go over well with my father. He'd want to know reasons and I didn't want to fess up to why I was practically a sobbing mess on my dorm room floor. It was taking everyt...
For two weeks, Jacob tried to see Riley but couldn't manage it. Riley didn't avoid Jacob's phone calls, answered them starting the morning after he left the apartment. He refused, however, to discuss anything that didn't have to do with the Baxter murder case. As soon as Jacob began to apologize, Riley cut him off and asked if there was anything new to do wi...
