I made the decision to try and keep some distance between Brianna and myself over the next few days. John's demeanour was really bad tempered and sour. He was grumpy and snapped at Debbie or me for no reason. I knew it was because of Brianna, so I tried to keep some distance between us. That of course was impossible she lived next door for heaven's sake. Sh...
"Luxury Condominiums" the sign said, and for once the reality lived up to the marketing. I never regretted buying in Miramar Lakes with its spacious rooms, manicured lawns and friendly neighbors. My friendly next-door neighbor is Steve, a charming middle-aged man with three daughters. Unfortunately Steve came out a few years after his divorce, so we were d...
My heartfelt gratitude and thanks to Tall Poppy for helping me with the editing of this story. Hope you guys enjoy. ***** Rachel stood outside the door of the apartment. Her right hand moved up and down the side of her jeans, wiping off the wetness on her palm. Coming here... making the decision to be with her would end up hurting another. 'But it's how I...

Hi, it's Julia. You may remember me ... Sheri, Julia? Me, the Cougar taken and turned. Ah, I see you nodding. Good. It's been four glorious years for us. I still blink when I look at her. She's just a wonder ... and she's doing very, very well at work too. (Me: winking) Yeah, the jokes are still lame and the sex is still fabulous. About a year ago, Sheri wa...
PART ONE My life had ceased to have much by way of meaning. My love of ten years, Melissa Blake, had died accidentally two years before in 1999. Her death at age 38, left me bereft and mourning her absence. After the actual shock of her passing subsided, I gradually began seeing the world through a cracked prism. There was no longer any sunshine in my life,...
Shade's Destiny – Chapter Five Shade was in her Catwoman costume. She drove. I was curious. The street was familiar. Oh my gosh it can't be. And, of course, it was. I could only shake my head. The raincoat kept curious eyes on the sidewalk from gaping. We'd argued briefly but she was right. The door was open; the coffee shop wasn't full but it was well deco...
Wake to a kiss that is long and ongoing so I am calling this a really wonderful start to the day. Then I am getting pulled out of bed, we are heading for the bathroom at least. Do need to go and I'm not the only one so I get to wait in line. Annoying but Miss Perkins was there first. Also find myself wanting to know her first name. "Miss Perkins, what is yo...
Mood Ring Chpt.1 (revised) Author's note: I was re-reading my stories because I had been away from them for so long and I am trying to complete the series when I realized that I could make some minor changes to improve the flow and readability, so I am revising my submissions. Changes are minor to content, mostly new stylistic formatting with some deletion...
Everyone in this story is at least 18 years old or older. Erin Delacorte was used to being like a ghost, sneaking in and out of people's lives without leaving so much as a footprint.
