The bitch shot me. The Doppelgänger pulled me back into the car and drove me to safety where I could feed and heal. I battled conflicting venal regret and perplexing gladness at having left the mesmeric vampire gut-shot -- but alive -- on the side of the road. Never leaving a predator alive behind you is a pretty good universal precept of successful surv...
Her head spinning at the same time it felt as if a rhinoceros had just rammed her in the stomach, Martha Traber sat behind the Defense Council's table, between her two lawyers, strained to the point of instinctual disconnect as the jury read her guilty verdict. Despite the fact that Martha had been approached with several plea agreements from the Federal P...
I wrote this from Lana's perspective. Her perception was too sweet not to share! Thank you so much for reading! =) ***** My alarm hadn't gone off yet and the room was already hot and sticky. The sun heated everything in the whole apartment. Coated in sweat, I dreaded my upcoming day at work. I adjusted my fan to blow towards my body and rolled on my other...
Their husbands were going to be outta town for the weekend and their company was having the Friday night Happy Hour after work, so Ang and Beth decided to get babysitters and have a big lady's night out. They rode to work together so they'd just have one car so hopefully at least one of them would be sober enough after Happy Hour to get them home. The day d...
Linda looked around the exhibit hall for what she hoped was the last time. True, it was an all-expense paid trip to New York City to attend the National Teacher's Conference. And, yes, it was quite an honor to be selected as one of only 5 teachers from Nevada to attend, but after three days of speeches and wandering the tables and booths in the ballroom look...
The announcement came over the loudspeakers at O'Hare airport but the results were soon to be seen on every one of the Arrival/Departure Screens throughout the airport. The snowstorm that had hit the area was shutting down the place. I rushed to the counter to see if the airline was going to put us up in hotels or if they had made any arrangements with the l...
I've always been lonely. I was beginning to accept that unrequited love was a part of my fate, if there is such a thing as fate. Zoe was the third girl I had feelings for. She was also the one who caused me the most pain. I loathed her, but I loved her. But there was someone in her family who made me feel SO good. There was her aunt, a woman who my dad wo...
The basement of the church was a bit cold and drafty and the wind was howling outside as the dozen or so children were led in song by the two women at the front of the room. The weather had kept many of the students away on this stormy Saturday night, and the ones that showed up were singing "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands" with widely varying levels...
My husband and I have been happily married for 20 years, mainly because my husband, James, is a complete and utter pervert...and I love it!! James is 56, greying hair but works out every day so has a beautiful, lean, toned physique. I try to keep up with him in the gym but even I struggle. He has beautiful blue eyes and says he is 6 foot exactly. James reti...
We entered the living room and I started to remove my dress. Sydney immediately stopped me, took me into her arms and kissed me. "Raegan, I love you so much. I simply want to devour you. I cannot imagine how in hell we fell in love so fast, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is we did. I am going to claim more of you tonight, if that is even possible...
