Alexandra rang the bell next to the door numbered 415 and waited. She had checked out her reflection in the mirrored wall of the elevator and relaxed: she looked good. Her hair was back up, held loosely with a hair claw, and her makeup looked perfect after a quick touch-up at Katy's place. Her sweater and jeans clung tightly to her body underneath the coat...
Jack threw his tackle box in the back of Andy's truck, flicked away the remnants of his cigarette and got in the seat beside his buddy. If Deanna had been there, he'd have caught Holy Hell for throwing his butt away and littering, but Christ, could she lighten the fuck up once in a while? "So, how are we working it this time?" Jack asked. "Perry and Ross a...
"Can you feel it? The cool water lapping over your body." My eyes circle in the darkness, no light permeates tightly closed lids. Exhaustion nails my stricken body to the damp bedding, aching limbs, immobilised through over exertion. The cold sweat of coming down leaks from every pore of my broken body. Stale putrid air fills the room as my breath rasps in...
April When I got back from taking Gerri to school and dropping Brian at his play school, a moving van was parked in front of the Adams place, two doors down. Of course it was no longer the Adams place. Since it was a warm spring day, I thought a pitcher of lemonade would be a good introduction to the neighborhood. The woman who was standing on the sidewalk...
When Melanie and Jimmy got into the car, he put the key in the ignition but didn't start it. They sat there for a full minute before either of them spoke. Jimmy broke the silence, "I think we've created a monster!" Mel looked at him and giggled, "Yeah, you stud!" That cracked Jimmy up good, "AND I think it's YOUR fault!" "Actually, I think you're right! I...
Mary looked with uncertainty at the granite statue placed between a pair of stars on either side. It was of an ancient Greek queen with a Sapphire and gold necklace built into the granite statue. Mary mused that it might be the goddess Hera or Athena from the gold wreath crown on her head. She looked around at the historical opulence of her surroundings, and...
BEATRICE 12 - THE PARTY IN PIMLICO We were going out. Jenny wanted to make me up and dress me for the party in Pimlico. She had 'certain special' friends, 'theatrical', as she liked to call them, who wanted to meet me. I wondered about them. She cut my long hair short, like a boy, the parting on the left. I had not been expecting her to cut it so severely....
Erin didn't say anything thankfully, which was good because Mindy needed as few distractions as possible. Between the car that was still bouncing around like an angry bull, the cries and moans of arousal still sounding off mere inches behind her, and the air growing increasingly stickier and mustier, it was already difficult to keep her eyes on the road. But...
"Hey, babe, have you got a minute?" Mindy glanced up from her book with a smirk. "I'm Mindy." "Oh, right, sorry." Mindy chuckled. If there was one thing she knew about Eric, it was that he was really bad about telling her apart from her sister. She should have been annoyed about that, and to be perfectly honest, she kind of was at first, but she had to...
We were supposed to meet at her house for one o'clock for my Reiki session. Looking at my watch I knew it was a little earlier then planned but figured since I'd done all the running around I needed to do I would go anyway. What is a half an hour early anyway I thought, Faith won't mind, she never has before. I am one of those people who is perpetually early...
