Jenny walked past the shop, again, for the third time. As she did so her eyes glanced furtively at the display, again. Each time she had reached this point, she had been unable to turn and approach the door. She'd barely been able to pause and look into the shop window as you would when walking down street full of shop windows displaying there goods. She st...
Laura sauntered slowly towards the ladies' room, taking stock of the men around the hotel. Some were employees, others guests; all were possible playthings. None particularly got the 30-year-old's heart racing; one man even made her nervous by staring at her as she passed him in the hall. She determined that if the bartender were still at his post after she...
My sister, Sandra, is 35 years old, and 3 years older than me. I have known for quite some time that my sister is bisexual, but she has just recently informed my parents that she is living with a woman, and it's more than a platonic relationship. I was introduced to my sister's girlfriend over the holidays, and was pleasantly surprised. Kelly is 25, blonde...
© 2006 by Penelope Street With a sigh of disgust, I got up from my kitchen table and made my way to the ringing phone. "Hello?" I snapped, expecting to hear a creditor on the other end. "Sandy?

I had been here a lot since moving back to New Zealand about six months ago. I had been living in Greece, on a sort of working sabbatical from the local university. Since I lived two blocks from here it was the first place I went for a drink after I moved in. Once I walked in I had kept coming back. It was... different I guess. A hole in the wall leading to...
Chapter 1: The Initiate Laura held the advertisement in her shaking hand. "You have to be kidding me." This was the address the secretary had sent her to. It was a massive estate, at least four stories tall and almost as large as a city block. In the middle of downtown Memphis? That didn't make any freaking sense. Laura checked the ad again: WANTED: Eng...
Well it's Friday night again. Typically we meet our friends and their kids up at our private campsite, we have a little something to eat then we put the kids to bed. We pull out a bottle of wine and the adults sit around the campfire and compare war stories of the previous week. Here we are a pair of typical 40 something couples. My girlfriend and I are jus...
Percy rummaged through her room looking for the last bit of her outfit. She was almost ready, all she needed now was her favorite pastel blue choker with the charm on the front stating in bold letters "MY BODY IS BEAUTIFUL". Percy's best friend, Bea, got it for her during a time in Percy's life when she had extremely low self esteem. Now, Percy had learned t...
Chapter 18 – Alma Mater The week dragged somewhat, waiting for instructions on what was to occur on Saturday. I moved through the days in a foggy haze, waiting for the details. Finally on Thursday morning I got an email from Penny which indicated that I should be at Nikki's parent's house at noon on Saturday ready to move her back to school. Penny also stre...
There were days when Jasmine wished she wasn't so into music. A song for every occasion, that was her, and this occasion was just reeking Hot Chocolate... "It started with a kiss...never thought that it would come to this..." - the whole appropriate song thing was making her nervous as she waited for her guest to arrive... Two months earlier Jasmine had bee...
