It was going into the fourth week, and the four of them were seated around the table at dinner. They were staying at the apartment on the complex under safe watch constantly. The security guard sat in his chair at the door. In his hand was a book that he had been reading for days now. And he paid no attention to them at the moment. The silence seemed to fal...
For Evan, wherever you are... It was twenty minutes after James's confession of age that I lay in his arms, my head on his chest. It was a new experience, and all of the new feelings were washing over me. I could not believe that not too long before I had had sexual intercourse with a man. I had always considered myself straight, never had once looked at a...
For my Snoopy Love! Everyone always warned me that college would fly by, but I didn't realize just how quickly the time passed when I was doing things entirely on my own terms. Working at the consulate was actually an amazing job, and I loved every minute of it. I was the youngest person in the office, and everyone took me under their wing. I found myself...
Finally, gravity has pulled me back to earth, and now I'm feeling all the feelings I should have felt last night. Shame for really having sex while someone watched and masturbated, jealousy that Mark might try to take my man, anxiety because I don't think my pockets are deep enough to maintain this lifestyle, and every other negative feeling. Waking up felt...
The name's Piper. Peter Piper. But I don't pick pecks of pickled peppers. I solve cases. I'm a private dick. That's a detective for those of you who don't know the lingo. A private eye. It was a miserable Friday afternoon. Cold, damp, foggy. The weather was foul. And so was my mood. My bank account was dwindling at an alarming pace. I hadn't had a case in w...
Here it is, the wedding epilogue!! First, I really want to extend a big thank you to S_Isemen, a fan of the story who's also a writer on this site. She's helped me edit all the chapters and she's written her own version of Rob and Mark's wedding, which gave me the push I needed to write my own version of it. Therefore, this chapter was co-written with her...
A/N: Hey all! This is a special chapter. You will quickly learn why! It is also pretty darn long, and has some flashback that shouldn't be confusing, but it might be. Enjoy :) --- Gabriel sits across from Yessica in the airport café. She stirs her coffee slowly, creepily. She's added so much sugar and cream and milk that he doesn't know if it qualifies as...
It was no secret things had been hard for Tori and Max and it was no secret the reason why. He had left his lucrative private equity job to start a restaurant. The loss of income (and 75% of their savings) had taken its toll. After several consecutive months of draining money, Tori went to work at a local coffeeshop to make some extra cash. She didn't love t...
Please forgive me for the unbelievable time elapsed since my last chapter. Life got complicated, as it does. Thank you for reading. Your comments, both in praise & in criticism, have been very motivating. I look forward to writing for y'all again soon. -- Leon xx ***** Julian "My experience with the stigma against hospice has surprised me. Many...
You fucking what!? Of all the things I supposed my new correspondent might say, that was not one of them. Do it again? Why? If this person was gathering ammunition to seek revenge on Nick or to use against me, did they really think I'd hand them more? Reply. I don't think so. Send. A few minutes later, another response arrived. It was somewhat more loquac...
