I love my dog Shep, but he has his moments. Like most canines, he feels the need to make alot of noise whenever strangers approach our home. I suppose he still has the instincts of a dog bred in more primitive societies, when guarding the master's property or at least acting like a living alarm system would've been useful. Still, when you're woken up a half...
It was after 10:30 pm when my Japanese business associates had finally had enough sake and karaoke to call it a night. Maybe they were just off to see if they could score some company for the rest of the evening. Who knew? They were all on huge expense accounts, so buying a girl (or boy) for the night was not a financial problem. Some had even offered to inc...
Somehow, they made it to the hotel alive, and with an only mildly traumatized chauffeur. Karen didn't even bother trying to make them look presentable. She scooped up Ted and super-sped him to their room. After that, the weekend went by in a blur. When they weren't making love, they were catching up on pay-per-view movies, ordering in, getting massages from...
It had been two months now since Scott and Candy had last seen each other. For Scott, the first six weeks were the roughest, he was unhappy in his terrible marriage and he missed his lover so much it hurt. But then, he had an epiphany. If he was unhappy, why continue to do the same exact things that were making him unhappy? Why be married to a woman who used...
Lilly Getting ahold of the cow blood had been the trickiest part of the ritual thus far. It wasn't like you could just walk into the store and pick up a gallon. No, if you wanted cow blood, you had to ask for it special, and then everyone wanted to know why. And "I want to summon a demon" wasn't an acceptable answer. Not if you wanted to retain a reputation...
Despite my disastrous date with Thomas, he stayed around. During our fly-by-night courtship, I found out that he lived closer to me than I believed. So, after my vacation, we kept in touch. I still kept up my man-eating guard, almost demanding that he even stop trying to soften me. Why he stayed was always a puzzling question for me. But he did. I simply beg...
They both lived in the apartment block. It was in a nice neighborhood and the owners kept the building in good repair. The people who lived in the apartments mostly worked in the city and hardly saw each other. Kira and Colin worked locally and they did see each other. They also noticed each other. Kira thought he was cute but he never looked very "availabl...
She walked into the dark pub feeling totally exposed. The men all turned to leer at her, feasting on her body with their eyes. The women cast a scornful glance toward the door, muttering a few names under their breath. She knew exactly what they were all thinking: she looked like a shameless whore. He had told her exactly what to wear that night: a red cor...
Ursule walked slowly down the wall of a valley in the mountains of Wrake. All around her, the ground was a lush green and growing color. New buds on the small trees, fresh foliage on the larger ones that sprouted up out of the side of the hills. The land was beautiful and wealthy. Night was coming quickly on, she knew. The sky was shifting, the moon rising u...
The next couple of days seemed to drag by. We continued to check our profile even though we had our first night all arranged. I caught Mel chatting on the webcam a couple of times but that was all she was doing, chatting. I never actually caught her behaving like she had with Jo. I had even left her alone deliberately hoping that I would. We spent the day...
