*Author's note: I think the title for this story is fine, but I thought seriously about calling it The Things We Do For Love because it really is amazing what people will do love. The female main character in this story (fictitiously) did something for her ex-husband I have personally experienced (and written about in another genre), so it's not all that f...
Day 3 Monday> Sleep came quick enough. I just cried myself there. However, it was not the most restful sleep I have ever had. I felt like I tossed and turned all night. How did I get into this mess? How was I going to get out? Would the next fifty-three days leave me with any sanity at all? I woke to the sound of my mom yelling that she was leaving for wor...
Patricia "What is she talking about?" Patricia asked. She waited for an answer as Simon threw the car in gear. The veins in his arms bulged and he was gripping the steering wheel so hard, his knuckles had drained of color. But it was his silence and the deliberate way he kept his eyes averted that had her stomach in knots. "Simon, what is she talking abou...
*Author's Note: Two quick points. As I've said, I know from personal experience, older (even married) women will sleep with a younger man. Falling in love and actually marrying one is an entirely different thing. Without a job to support them, it's even more unlikely, and there are only a few jobs someone between 18-22 can have that earn enough (not a lot—en...
I know, I know... it's such a cliché. Bored older married woman seduces hot young sexually naive man. It's been played out before, a million times. There's even a word for it now... Cougar. Urgh! Just the very connotation of it upsets me. Like I hunted him down like prey for my own amusement. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that at all. Firstly, I am no...
August, 2019. Quantico, Virginia Keith Monroe hadn't worn his uniform once since retiring from active duty almost five years to the day, but this was an occasion that called for it, so he'd gotten a regulation haircut and put on the uniform he'd worn for 30 years. As he walked toward the reviewing stand by himself, he was saluted numerous times. "Good aft...
Ye Olde Spice Shoppe "Morning, Sandy!" "Oh, hi, V. You're in early," her friend and co-worker said when she saw her on the 'rack' doing Pilates. "I think the sound of the rain put me to sleep last night. I laid down around ten and didn't wake up until my alarm went off at 7am." "I love the sound of rain!" "Me, too. It's like heaven on earth! Anyway, I...
"It was nice." "Nice? What does that even mean?" "It means it...it wasn't bad." "Bailey? That doesn't tell me anything. Did you have fun? Do you like this guy?" "Well, it wasn't not fun," her sister said, not sure how to answer the question any better than that. "Okay. Great! That was so much more helpful," her older sibling said with a strong hint of...

A Golden Shower Universe story Copyright 2013 by Stormbringer * Olivia Queen Hart turned her BMW on to her driveway and honked the horn twice. It was a little ritual she did to inform her husband that she'd made a sale. Sure enough, he came out of their lovely three story house with a broad grin on his face, their five year old daughter in his arms. "Cong...
