It was Andrea's week on night duty, she was a teacher at an all girls boarding school and she was one of five who rotated weeks about. She put up with it because it enhanced her salary greatly, and really it as boring, there were few problems that occurred that could not be left until the next day. Her husband wasn't too enamoured by her absences, but his...
How many terrible mornings was Lia going to cause me? I woke up feeling as sluggish as ever. All it took were a few seconds and a yawn before last night's events played back in my mind. Watching, wishing I was there. It was all too much. And yet, a part of me wanted nothing more than to do it again. I couldn't discern one thought from another, but as I wal...
Chapter 1 Maggie Malone steered her black Toyota Prius into the parking lot of the Del-Mar Apartment complex and pulled into a spot under a shady elm tree. It was Tuesday evening, and as with every Tuesday she and her sister Molly got together at Molly's place for a glass of wine, some snacks, and get caught up on the past weeks' news. Maggie was a real est...
Just a quick note, this chapter is a little longer than the other two but there's a lot to get through here. Also this is (possible) the penultimate chapter of the Curiosity series, there may be one or two more but the end is near. Enjoy. I start off this chapter with a new motto of mine that I will use from now on; Story first, sex second. * JANUARY Fi...
It was the contemporary literature class in college that sparked my interest in deciding to major in English. My English teacher, Miss Andrews, who informed us that she was thirty years old on the first day of school, seemed to be so full of life and energy. I was almost nineteen and had the same energy; I wanted to change the world. As the term got under w...
After moving to a new area to be with my boyfriend, I ended up living with the most heinous girl ever. Talk about a personality clash. I don't think I could have hated her anymore. Knowing my predicament, Don and Nora, my boyfriend's best friend and his wife, offered me the spare bedroom in their apartment. I was overly grateful since that meant that I would...
It happens on one of our beach walks. The sky is bright blue with a thin wisp of clouds, or maybe it's a high fog. The cresting waves rise slowly and crash dramatically, spurred forward by the storm that will arrive later today. Our dogs explore the driftwood and seaweed debris in wild circles, discovering, then covering, the scent of every other dog that's...
I'm working on a sequel to At Last, but here's something in the meantime. Much less character- and plot-driven, short, sharp and to the point, but hopefully good in its own way. *** "Shhhh." The light pressure of my finger against your lips is enough to stop you mid-sentence, not through force, but through the knowledge that it's what I'm asking of you. M...
Kim was very excited that she would be seeing her friend Ashley again. It felt like it had been such a long time and they had a lot of catching up to do. She had been busy all day preparing the house for her friend's arrival, cleaning each room and fixing a nice dinner. When everything was done she sat down to catch her breath when a knock came to the door....
I met Wendy at a neighbor's house. She was in a relationship with another woman and I met them both at the same time. But, the blond with blue eyes caught my attention. Maybe it was they way she looked at me, like she wanted to eat me up, that turned me on so much. The two didn't stay together and Wendy was soon living alone, running her own commercial clean...
