When Britt told me about her conversation with Mrs. P. I was quite excited. If we could pick up some decent machinery I was all for it. I'd known the Podolski's all my life, I knew Bert took good care of his machinery and tractors. They had a pipeline that had been put in just three years ago, maybe I could buy it and have it installed in our barn. Bert was...
I feel him watching me... A steely gaze through a thick mist. The stare makes me strangely aware of every inch of my body... Tingling... Pulsing. I find myself immobilized by those dark grey eyes.... am I truly still? I feel a pulling... a tugging as the distance between us begins evaporating. I'm moving towards him... Or into him. Something in those eyes......
I was looking forward to this summer. I had just graduated high school and I was going to stay with my grandparents down in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for a few months. When I was younger I'd always go stay with them for the summer, but then my parents got divorced and my father and I moved to California for his job. Money was always tight and we couldn'...
It was late in the afternoon by the time I checked into my hotel room for a short stay in Tampa. Since it had been a long day I headed down to the bar for a good stiff drink to relax and cool off. It was too early for the business crowd and there was only one other person there, a young woman who appeared to be in her late teens or early twenties. The barten...
Author's note: Preparations for the wedding are moving into high gear. There will be very little sex from here out. Them's the breaks. If these two were only interested in sex, they would not be getting married. All characters are fictitious as are all the Chapter 7—Adjustments Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: Dad tells me that the secret to anything...
As with most of my stories, there is not a lot of sex. For those legal eagles who read this story, be advised that you might find a problem or two with the legal stuff. If you do, remember that this is a work of fiction. I had lots of help with this story from a good friend, and, of course, Blackrandl1958 always makes everything she touches better. My w...
Author's Note: This is a girls day out section, mostly. Pretty close to no sexual content. However, if makeovers get you off, we got you covered. Chapter 8 -- Coffee to Go Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: One thing I have always wished I could have watched is the meeting of Aunt Frannie and Aunt Jo. If you want to talk of odd couples, start right there...
It came like a bolt from the blue. Literally. Kara was flying, it was a clear sky, then bam, lightning bolt. She wasn't even sure she could be struck by lightning—whoever heard of it hitting a moving target?—by suddenly she was pinwheeling down, ricocheting between two buildings to land face down in an alley like the first scene in an episode of CSI. Groanin...
Looking back at my early days at college, most people that met me then probably wouldn't even recognize me now. At the time, my hair was a basic shoulder-length cut without any coloring or styling, and I wore some dorky-looking prescription glasses. My wardrobe consisted of ankle-length skirts, some loose-fitting pants, and several long-sleeve blouses. My at...
Chapter 12 – Storming Hanover After the meeting with the local powers of Siemens, Lars walked me to the car. I had the Mercedes, with Russell driving. Loaning me Russell was the sort of generous gesture I learned to expect from Sheila. I was also glad she sent Christine, who makes a great human comforter. It was good that I did not yet know about Lars' tran...
