Clutching her purse, portfolio, and a pair of heels, Kate locked the door of her upstairs apartment and jogged to her car parked down the street. She was meeting Ben Sklar at The Nines in twenty-five minutes, and she was determined to be on time. Things have definitely changed. Kate’s life in New York became unbearable—the chaotic frenzy of the city, her ove...
"That's it, Shaie! I give up!" Lucy exclaimed, slowing down her treadmill after I upped the speed on mine yet again. I grinned as I watched my blonde friend slump over the console out of the corner of my eye. It was Friday night and Lucy had gone with me to the gym for the only reason she would ever offer to join me as I exercised—she needed a favor. "It's...

A Match Made By A Vixen Literally© ** May 23th ** I'm Melissa Eileen Burkhart Stone. That's Lissy for short. If it's Thursday afternoon it means I'm in the office of my shrink, Elizabeth McCormick. I started therapy a little more than a year ago. Me? I have three children and was recently widowed. I suppose 'recently' depends on who's doing the telling. M...
The new day was exceedingly moist. It was one of those intense steamy weeks in August with intermittent rain separated by hours upon hours of dense heat and humidity. The kind of weather that permanently wore down the insides of all air conditioners that kept the city by the river barely functioning under the intense dampness. A curtain of early morning fog...
I need to get laid. Badly. It's been nearly four months, and I'm horny as fuck. I don't usually mind the winter dry spell, that time between the holidays and the first sunny days of spring when it's too cold and wet and gray here in Seattle to go out at night. It's a chance to focus on myself, a little enforced me time. Curling up with a good book and a gla...
Chapter 2 of Nell and Emma! This is a slow burn. I promise chapter 3 will make it all worth it. As always please like, comment or send me feedback! ******************** "Good Morning!" Liz yelled as she crawled on my bed. "What the hell Liz!" She was wrapped around me by this point. I managed to catch a glimpse at the clock. It wasn't even 7am yet. "Did...
Going home is always hard for me. This time, it was Friday evening, and I was driving into the town I grew up in for my dad's birthday dinner on Saturday. It was his 60th. He wanted "the whole family" here this year- me, my mom, my brother, his wife, and their toddler. This was oil on troubled waters; he and I had always had a rocky relationship when I was a...
Warm silky sheets enveloped her. She felt so comfortable, so cuddly in the warmth. Suddenly she began to feel trapped in the endless silk. These sheets were warm and the air that did come through was humid. Jackie felt the weight of these sheets begin to choke her. She was fighting against the tangled, humid trap. The blankets got wetter and hotter. The weig...
** June 13th ** Bette surprised me a little with her announcement Thursday. "People in my line of work normally take the month of August off." I knew this. "I'm going on vacation with some... friends." She broke eye contact when she said that; very un-Bette like. "I'll be gone from July 15th to August 16th. I'm telling everyone this week. I would be pretty...
