She was so focused on the screen in front of her that she hardly noted the 'whoosh' sound of the door opening. It was after all, the busiest time of the day for the counter-terrorism unit, and Diana had very important work to do in the lab. Neither did she register any concern at the next sound, that of someone sitting heavily in the seat behind her. Only a...
"Your extra towels, Ms. Miller," she said, laying them neatly on the table near the pool. It was Kathleen's third day on the job. She was a maid for the upper class, and at the age of 36, her resume was already impressive. It included service for the financial elite, celebrities, and even a brief stint in the White House. Now here she was, working proudly...
After my extraordinary weekend with Jennifer, I realized that while I may have been in lust with a couple of girls at college, what I experienced with Jennifer was love, the real deal. When I thought about her which was frequent, my heart pounded and the most wonderful feeling surged through my body. This went way beyond mere sexual attraction. During my...
This series is actually supposed to help me work out the kinks in the other stories I'm working on, and is supposed to be more light-hearted and just full of sex. As I'm editing, I feel that this first chapter may be a little long, but maybe it's just fine, so let me know what needs to change so I can help you enjoy these characters as much as I've enjoyed w...
It felt like we had known each other forever. In reality I had only moved to that sad little town twelve month prior. I was a city girl, born and bred just west of London. I was used to falling asleep with sounds of traffic penetrating the double glazed window. The occasional doof doof of a car stereo breaking the soothing monotony of the engines that pass...
Friday's morning meeting had a slightly different tone this week. She wasn't alone any more at work. The time her and I spent locked in one another's embrace on a twin bed those rare Friday mornings had come to an abrupt end. I walk into her office as a best friend from now through the upcoming months. That "straight" best friend who shows up in the mornin...
"Mar?" breathes Natalie, as soon as I pick up the phone. She manages to sound both solicitous and bouncing-on-the-balls-of-her-feet excited in one syllable. "Are you -- I mean, how are you?" "I'm...okay," I say. She's giving me an opening to talk about Dan, if I want to. I don't. But I appreciate it. Dan and I danced a ten-year tango of inconstant desire, w...
"Jules, can I talk to you for a second? Please!" "Well sure Lis, about what?" Ashley cut in, "Come on you two, let's get to the friggin' house, you can talk there." "Ash is right; we can talk at the house, 'k Lis?" We all climbed into my car and headed for home. Julie was driving since she was the DD and I sat up front with her. My car is a small com...
Monica awoke early that Saturday morning because she was so used to doing so when the kids were at home. They were with their father this weekend. Monica's divorce from Anthony had only been final for a month, and she still missed him. Even though she was overcome with hate every time someone mentioned his name or she came across an old photo of him that she...
She broke my heart at the start of the year. She told me she loved me, she told me we could be together, just the way we'd wanted to for all those years. And then she left me for him. It almost killed me, the pain. I almost didn't come out the other side of the depression that ensued. And yet here I am, eleven months later, meeting up with her for coffe...
