They say that some people see the trees, and other people see the forest. It's a metaphor for how you see life -- some people are detail-oriented and others like to look at the bigger picture. Me? I see neither the forest nor the trees. I see... the wood. Every knothole, every line becomes something in my eyes: this one an armoire, this one a dressing table...
When I started writing this I really didn't think one of my biggest concerns was going to be which category I put it in. As you can see I'm moving it to 'Romance' I don't think its suited to 'NonConsent/Reluctance' after all. Also, I'm sure you'll be pleased to find there's actually some sex in this chapter! ***** As she opened her eyes Rebecca quickly re...
Author's note: This pre-1890 historical romance tells of actual notable people. All sex involves live humans aged 18+, even the whores AFAIK. The text contains casual racism and sexism and very little explicit human sex; if you object, stop reading. Plant sex is pretty muted too. Stilted speech patterns are intentional. Views expressed are not necessarily th...
"Damn," she swore out loud. Jenn never swore out loud. It was not in her nature to lose her cool. She ran her delicate hands through her dark brown hair in frustration. "Why can't I get these tests to come out right.?" No one responded. She had forgotten for a moment that she was the only one in the botany lab that night. As a lowly graduate student at...
Rain Dance Okay, now I know I shouldn't have done this. Let me set the stage for you: it's 95 degrees (a mere 89 in the shade!), and I'm 4800 feet above sea level. Not that there's an actual sea for hundreds of miles. Or any water at all, damn near. I'm sure a nineteenth century explorer or a Native American shaman or botany professor could scare up some a...
Holly the horticultural student, had been dating Sebastian the genetic scientist for six weeks. She was 21 and he was 39. The dating app had matched their interests. He had been wining and dining her, and the kissing and cuddling was great, but she was thinking of breaking it off, because he seemed reluctant to have sex. She didn't know that he planned a sex...
Anna was accomplished! Yes, she was also young, pretty, and sexy, with her 5 foot 5 inch 98-pound frame, nearly porcelain skin, blue eyes, 36C-23-34 measurements and cascading auburn hair that fell to the middle of her back, but she was best described as accomplished. In her 23 years, she had managed to graduate early from college, with a degree in botany, t...
All of the original characters introduced By Athena, remain her property. This story could not have been possible without her inspiration. **** For the Love of Botany: Chapter 0ne Sarah couldn’t wait to find out about the new botanical project Dr. Sanchez had asked her to work on. She quickly ran down the hallways towards the laboratory deliberately ignor...
I've always loved this time of year, spring, the season of rebirth. I've been eager to get my hands back into the soil and watch everything come alive all around me. My garden has been my joy, my escape and my tranquility. It has been the answer: whether I was stressed, needed to seek solutions, or ground myself, or just yearned for beauty to appreciate. Rel...
Author's note: This standalone story includes elements from the RON'S JOURNAL series, but reading the other chapters is optional. The tale contains seduction, betrayal, violence, and dust devils. The story is probably fairly fictional. All sexual acts involve live humans over age 18. Felice is mostly the McGuffin. Your feedback is appreciated. ***** The Tem...
