The night was unusually hot for Northern California. Even in the air-conditioned cruiser, heat radiating up from the black asphalt left ripples in the distant headlights. Fortunately, the heat had not brought its usual companion: people acting crazy. Indeed, the night was especially quiet on the latter part of the last shift (according to briefing) and was a...
It is nearly a week since Helga saw Harriet but the Anglo-American woman has not been far from her thoughts but so far she has not tried to contact her, preferring to content herself with memories of their visit to the opium den and play out fantasies for the future. All that changes however when a package and letter from Harriet are delivered. TIPPING THE...
Hi Litsters, This is a set of disconnected vignettes about the women in Heather Franklin's life. I have written them as a separate series to distinguish them from her stories which are more closely bound to her job as a lawyer. Your votes, comments and private feedback mean the world to me, so please do not forget to leave them. Hat-tip to House MD. As...
This is my submission for the 2014 Holiday contest. It's primarily a romance with a Christmas theme. I hope you enjoy it. I'd like to thank Bramblethorn for editing this story for me. Her comments and edits are very much appreciated. ** Emily I was having the Christmas dream again. I have the dream every year at Christmas time. In the dream, I am a litt...
There was nothing better in mind to do today that I could think of to waste the afternoon away, so I figured riding along the coast of the beach would be a better adventure than nothing. I zoomed down the smooth pavement bordering the beaches edge in my faded red beach cruiser, clad in just my white bikini top, high waisted ripped jean shorts, and a lavender...
The characters in the following story are my own, created for my story "The Adventures of Ultra Woman and Mega Girl." I thought it might be fun to take them out for a bit more fun. * "Damn, who could that be at this hour?" Abigail Stone thought as the phone by her bed rang mercilessly. Normally a phone call, even at this late hour, wouldn't have bothered...
The first time I met Vanessa I was in the 8th grade. It was May and we were all looking forward to summer break and talking about what high school would be like. All we 8th graders were going to the high school for an orientation. When we got there we were broken into 10 groups of 12 and each group of 12 was hosted by a graduating senior. She was the senio...
Smokey Saga #10: "For Happy Endings It Takes Two" ***** October 12th, 9:01 p.m. Ding-dong! Sara scrambled to the front door and wrenched it open. Her best friend Jake stood outside, bags in hand. "Dude, come on! Get in here!" Sara said hurriedly. "It's already on!" She grabbed his free hand, yanked him inside, slammed the door shut and practically dragge...

The 46-year-old Peggy has a hot body and that helps her when it comes to receiving a few perks of the trade as well as a few exciting times during her travels. One of the perks of being a claims insurance rep are the conventions a...
Annabelle's cotton sheets have ducks on them. They're not made of as nice of a material as the satin I'm laying on now, but the ducks are so cute and so her. I can imagine Annabelle's face when she'd determined that I stood her up on New Year's Eve. I feel so horrible and so cold. We met three weeks ago. Annabelle kept glancing over at me in the coffee hous...
