Diane, Charlotte and Sarah arrived at the institute a few minutes before 4 PM, where they were ushered into the meeting room. There were 6 chairs arranged in a circle, and two ladies already occupied two seats. A paper stuck to the board in the middle of the room said, “Share your answers on the survey with each other!” To her surprise, Sarah recognized one...
Chapter II: The Sorceress and the Maiden Fair When Anna came to, her head felt like a lump of molten lead: heavy and searing with pain. It was the sort of hangover one would expect after consuming a whole barrel of ale—except Anna never drank enough to become intoxicated. In fact, she usually only sipped from flagons for the sake of appearance, as a lapse...
Chapter III: Revenge is a Dish Best Served with Bondage Anna was living her own personal slice of hell. The supple body she'd spent years training to its physical peak was being stretched even further beyond her prodigious limits. If she was anyone else, her ligaments would surely now be strained beyond what time could heal. And to Richard, she assumed, sh...
Author's note and acknowledgements This story has sat on my hard drive for four years now. I wrote it, all twenty chapters and 95,000 words of it in eight days of a frenzied, near trance-like state, sitting on my couch with my wife's laptop. She would occasionally have to remind me to eat. When the dust settled, and I looked up, I realized a couple of...
It had, Max thought, been a terrific summer thus far and he was glad his firm had allowed him the extra time off so he could come with Alli and experience it all. They had spent several days at the big powwow for Crow Fair and he had enjoyed the dancing contests and parades enormously. He found that he loved the rugged countryside and wide open spaces of the...

Ok readers, here's the fourth installment. It's hopefully a lot longer than the others so it should give you a descent amount to read. I know some of you have asked for longer chapters, but I'm afraid that with story writing, you can't really plan the length of a chapter, the story happens how it happens, so if you think they're too short, then tough cookies...
Hi everyone. Well, the story's coming to a close. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Look out for more stories from me soon. Happy reading. As always, all characters are 18 years or over. * Chapter 14 The next couple of days went by like a dream for Sam. Although she was new at the whole relationship thing, she was eage...
I had been working long hours at the office for the past few months and was finally finished with the project that had kept me away when I entered the house intending to surprise my wife. Able to leave early for a few, well-deserved days off, I had come home to relax and have some time alone with Vivian before our children got home. However, instead of relax...
It was too dark outside to see anything. All you could do was hear. The footsteps, the heavy breathing, the panic as the duo ran for their lives. Darkness was preferred -- light meant flashlights, and that meant that the very people they were running from were catching up to them. They knew not where they were running to, just who and what they were running...
