Getting Lucky in London I had never been anywhere outside of America. Oh sure, I have been across the border to Mexico a few times, but I was never very far from sweet old Arizona. When our high school graduation came around, many of my anonymous relatives sent me money, and one even sent me a gift of airline miles. My first thought was "What the hell am I...
Part Seventeen And so the years passed with me spending more and more time at the club and less and less time with Eunice; although we did have our "special moments" together. The most eventful happening during this period was that I found myself attending Nicole's marriage at Westminster Cathedral. If anything, she was more beautiful than I remembered. I...
Writer's Note: Hopefully this story is in better shape than some of my others. This is similar to Temptation but with one major difference. Some who like Temptation may not like that difference but it's still good. :) So ENJOY! Susan stomped through the house. She wondered where her husband had gotten off to, then she remembered that he had called out sayi...

Editor's note: this story contains scenes of incest or incest content. * The missing brooch has brought back a storm of conflicting memories both agreeable and displeasing. Cousin Simon had nefariously gifted the emerald brooch to me as a gesture of his affection. The fact that it belonged to his his mother at the time is of little consequence. Aunt Matild...
I work for a university. I'm finishing my PhD thesis in History (documentary evidence and textual accounts of the emergence of the common law in the eleventh century, since you ask) but I don't have funding for my research. Not surprising really. Legal history isn't fashionable, but my department don't want to lose me entirely. So I spend my working day as...
The day had arrived. I just turned 40 today and Marg had told me that she was taking me to dinner for my birthday to a fancy restaurant in town. Being a fancy place we had to dress for the occasion. I wore my good gray dress pants with a dark burgundy silk shirt the one that Mark loves so much on me. With my black dress shoes and silk boxers beneath to top i...
For a while now I have been thinking about how to do chapter 4 and nothing has come to me. So after sitting down and rereading my first 3 chapters over and over, I felt many changes were needed to bring chapter 4 to life. One of the major changes was that I gave Sapphira more role within the story as I felt it was a little too focused on Lucian which left it...
Thank you for taking the time to read this story. All comments and feedback are very much appreciated and allow me to improve as an author. ********** I've always considered myself a bit of a geek, I'd love to think it was in a cool, hipster way, but lets face it, despite my sporty build and 6 foot plus height, I was never going to cut it as a true jock. C...
This is my first story, so open to any feedback. This is the first of a series, and it starts a little slow and helps set up some backstory on the characters. Hopefully it will all pay off in later chapters. _________ I gripped the steering wheel impatiently, willing the car to pick up speed without actually pressing down on the gas. The sun, which hung lo...
