For the record, I actually kind of hate Pretty Woman, but I think the idea is interesting. If this looks familiar, it's because I posted the beginning of it many years ago. It is completed now. I hope you enjoy it. This is dedicated to my old friend, Amanda, who is sadly no longer with us. She supported me a lot when I began this story. Hopefully it does...
Javier felt utterly out of place, in black clothes that didn't feel formal enough. Jacob had led the ceremony in his own living room, even singing a short Buddhist prayer. Javier went up to burn incense when it was his turn, staring dully at Mr. Tanaka's body. They'd found a black kimono to dress him in. Such a pointless death, for a man who might still have...
For some people working for a company that sells sailing holidays would seem the ultimate perfect dream job. Dave Ross was nobody's sailor, even he admitted it but the job suited him. He was an almost thirty four year old graduate and now the lead Human Resources person in a sizeable public limited company that spanned most of the world. He was responsible...
Jonas Agonistes Chapter 1: Like a Novel by Robbe-Grillet I avoided bourbon but not scotch. Scotch. I found it helped me sleep, but upon further discrimination and many scientific trials I decided it helped me do something like sleep. I pushed it aside. I even poured out one of the half-full bottles in my drawer. Not the other one, though. Just one. Two we...
Author's note. This is the sequel to V.R.. While this story can stand on its own without reading the other first, the reader will have better understanding if familiar with it. ***** Day one, Saturday Jerome Rogers threw another bag into the small trailer he was packing then looked over at the front porch where his and his wife's kids sat talking quietly....
Chapter One Ashley and David were fighting. She was shouting at him, slamming doors, furious. Then she suddenly stopped. Just stopped, and wondered what she was doing. "I don't want us to be like this," she said. David looked at her. "What?" Ashley said. "You're sick of me? This doesn't work? This is where we decide it is actually too hard, after all?"...
The beeping woke me. I tried to open my eyes, but it took too much effort. I hurt. I hurt in places I didn't know existed. I lay there for some time listening to the sounds surrounding me and smelling the odors of what could only be a hospital room. What happened? How had I gotten here? The last thing I remembered was sitting through Mr. Hargrove's lecture o...
Part 29: Sexual Healing At well over a million words, this is one of a handful of the longest erotic stories ever written. The first couple of parts are mostly build up and teasing, but there's lots of sex later on. The story also has love, humor, plot, character, and a lot of popular acclaim, so you should give it a try if you haven't already. It has inces...
Thanks for clicking on my story. It's one of many created for the Highway Song Event, and I hope you'll check out all the others. There are really great authors participating. Special thanks to BlackRandl1958 for editing and for organizing the event, and to NoraFares for her constant help and encouragement. Fair warning -- there's not a lot of sex in this...
Chapter 10: Parting Ways ***** The following morning, Jack Easterbrook took in the sight from the Valiant's bow one last time. At least, one last time for now. He hoped that there would come a time in the future when he'd be reunited with the ship and her crew, but for now, the Valiant was sailing back closer to home. In hindsight, it wasn't an unexpecte...
