She was going to kill Kevin. The SOB might be her big brother, but he apparently knew less than she did about finding one's way around the big bad woods at night, and she knew exactly squat. "I knew this was a mistake," she grumbled, yelping when yet another slender branch snapped out of the darkness to welt her cheek. "OW!" This "great idea" of Kevin's--...
Once again this is not the story of my life. Just a tale of someone else's travails I've observed from the sidelines. A few details are changed for concealment and plausible deniability. Seems some did not like my last tale. Too bad. I'm not writing these for you. I'm writing for me. I've found an outlet for my anger, my rage, my betrayal. These tales are a...
It was Friday, and I had only four hours until I left my job forever. Finally, I was making the jump from a lowly academic journal to the glamorous world of magazine editing. My job in New York began in one week, and I was leaving my shabby little cubicle and awkward, unfriendly coworkers behind. Things were hectic: I'd spent all morning forwarding my emai...
Stephen Rourke paced with anticipation as he waiting in the long hall outside of the dressing rooms. The walls of the old theater were lined with photographs of actors and actresses who had once walked the stage beyond, but they held no interest for the 19 year old. His only thoughts were of the woman whose name was written in gold on the decades old wood....
Clementine was quite eager to see 'M' again at his house. Their time together at the office was so impersonal, no-one there could have guessed that Clementine had any type of off-hours relationship with "the boss!" Clementine rang 'M's doorbell and he quickly opened the door and let her inside. At first he did his usual (what she called "inspection") routin...
I woke when the moon was setting, and the first rays of day were just peeking over the hill we had climbed last night. It was so luscious to be lying next to his muscular frame, and I caressed his chest, running my hands over his brown nipples, and rubbed my foot up and down his hairy leg. Looking around, I suddenly realized I no longer had the cloak of ni...
Zoe had been in a bad mood all day. She knew it radiated off her like a beam to the customers that came to her shop. She barely responded to their friendly attempts at small talk, only emitting one-word answers, or sometimes even just a nod or a weak smile. Normally she was very good at looking after customers, always happy to help out and asking them about...
The big-time Hollywood film star, her personal aide and mandatory two security men cleared Christchurch Airport after completing Customs formalities and receiving, as her office had requested, a very low-key official welcome to New Zealand. In a hired 4X4 Land Rover they left the city heading towards the Southern Alps, the alpine backbone of the South Islan...
Ch06 "Dangerous Liaisons" Part 1 Mary rose at 6 a.m. resisting the urge to stroke her hands along her belly; she drove herself into the shower. Switching on the radio to her favorite, unchallenging channel, she luxuriated in the cascade as Debussy's Claire-de-Lune permeated her body. Such simple cadence providing such pleasure, Mary could easily have dwel...
A deafening screech echoed along the platform as the Cardiff train entered the station, its ancient brakes surprisingly still in working order. The bloody thing must have been on the tracks since 1950. Jaime stared at his watch as he sat on the plank of sticky wood that served as a bench in this shit hole of a train station. She was late. He hadn't even met...
