"Goodnight my beautiful angel." Mary said, a bright smile on her face. "Sweet dreams Emilia, sleep well princess." Ken added. Kailtyn's parents looked down on her crib, admiring their beautiful daughter. Only a week old, she was already the best thing that had ever happened to the both of them. Their very own bundle of joy was everything they hoped she w...
"Hey man; I gotta be me and ask you why the fuck you slept with Yoli again?" We sat in the alley behind her building having quite a few moments of shared silence when Renee gave in to an unanswered question swirling around in her pretty head. "Just kinda happened, honestly." "So, what; you in the crazy zone with her ass, now?" Renee was insistent but she w...
As soon as I woke the thought was with me; June 3rd Donna's weekend. Tiger meowed that it was time to get up, his grey and white face purring against my chin. "Hey sweetie." I scratched his neck. Donna had found him, a kitten clinging to a sewer drain in a rainstorm. He apparently never forgot that Donna had rescued him. He favored her and went berserk w...

Fleet admiral Lee was now stateside, having just one goal left she needed to do before she left the Navy, to give Cadet Hope, Maria's daughter, her commission. Doc, CPO Hope, Adm...
There's a film called Love in the Time of Cholera. This isn't it. This is my CoronaVirus effort. Sometimes, when you're in pain, your mouth runs away with you. And there are few clear answers. It was the day the music died. "Okay, baby. I'm going to have to go. That morning shift is killing me -- and I have to be up at half five." I looked mournfully at t...
Kim was smart, freaky smart. Standing at just five foot three inches and having a pert 44 EE bust, she looked down at all the rejection letters she had received in an effort to try to get the needed practical experience to finish her doctorate. Ireland did not need someone of her talents, nor did the continent. With dwindling savings, she sent a general resu...
This is Chapter Eight of a book. The characters and situations will be more understandable if the previous chapters have been read. Because it is a book, some of the chapters are more exciting than others, and some situations do not complete until the next chapter.
