My workplace shares a floor and restrooms with a public relations company where the entire staff happens to be women. Other than saying hello to each other in passing I've never had much interaction with them. The women I work with know them a bit better, having run into each other in the ladies room. In the past their company Christmas party consisted of a...
Thank you for continuing to read A Degree of C. I am writing each chapter as they are posted and hope to submit the next chapter(s) faster than the previous one(s). Using italics seems to slow down the posting process, but I like using them to signify thoughts or put an emphasis on a word. I hope you like this chapter and decide to comment and/or rate the st...
This store is based on a real situation, with an ending I wish happened. Enjoy. (And of course the names have been changed) *** It was a chilly 60 degree night in October. Our best friend couple brought some chili to our house for dinner. We had planned to eat, drink, and have fun. How much fun, I would later find out. While we were eating, my wife brought...
Cara awoke the next morning to the soft sound of Shyam snoring and here maids readying her bath. The soft smell of lilacs drifted around her bringing back thoughts of her forest home and how much she missed it. She was vagely aware that the previous night she had begged Aidan to stay with her and blushed at the thought. As she stepped out of her bed she wond...

She often finds herself wondering what else is there in life to alleviate the often long periods where she feels like there is something missing in her life. Being an active sports person keeping herself fit and trim, she doesn't suffer from laziness at all, and does not ov...
My application for membership at the Vineyard was eventually approved. The approval process involved a criminal background check, a psychiatric evaluation, testing for STDs as well as intense physical examinations that required me to strip naked and be assessed by a committee of administrators to determine if I met the Vineyard's high standards of physical b...
Tiffany Fallon and Cara Zavaleta sat in the kitchen alcove sharing a pot of tea and finishing off the croissants Cara had picked up at the coffee shop. It was a lazy Sunday morning. Both slept late and neither had completely woken up yet. They stretched and yawned, wiping the sleep out of their eyes. Playboy had put them up in this luxury apartment because t...
Cara stepped out of her '04 Volvo and had to resist the strong urge to run into the stadium. It was hard to contain her excitement. "Everything that I've been training for the last 3 years is finally coming true, Cara thought. She looked over at her best friend, Alex, who was still in the car and clearly stalling. "Come on, slow poke! We're going to be lat...
