All characters are over 18. Chapter 1 It began on Facebook. Well, what story doesn't nowadays? I was looking through people's updates and I paused over a friend's photo of a trip to the zoo with her boyfriend. Some of her other Facebook friends had left appreciative messages and it was one of those that caught my eye. Not the message, which just said "Gorg...
======= Coming home and facing an internal crisis. Cathy rides to the rescue again, with a surprise. ======= The trip home was anticlimactic. No last minute calls from Ana Isabel, no nefarious visits from men in black suits, and we were on our own at the airport. No mile-high club. My new favorite stewardess wasn't on our particular flight. Even the petting...
Chapter 5 -- Film Fodder Kat asked, "What about the tenth house on our circle of homes. I know we believe that someone else might join us, but has there been any thoughts about it, or who, or timing?" Ty shrugged along with Dave. He responded, "There are no plans for it, but it easily fit in the design of the Circle. Owen will be the official owner of the...
Warmer than I remembered, the brilliant sun reflected off a handful of tall crystal spires creating prisms of light on the carpet of virgin forests below. The small glass bubble I was surrounded with floated lazily on the thermals as several Sea Terns circled blissfully overhead. As I turned to face the sun, a calm silvery sea stretched endlessly to the hori...
This is a short story, I thought I'd like to share with all of you. I had promised that I wouldn't ever tell anyone, but at Janie's prodding I thought, what the hell. I'm sure my mother will never see the story, so here goes. * Dan and I were to be married on a Saturday evening in June at seven o'clock. We had dated for only nine month's before we both dec...
When you hear the siren, you don't hesitate. There's no time to worry about your hair or makeup, and the enemy doesn't care if you're ready. You just grab your rifle and rush to your assigned position- that's how it works. But things had been quiet lately in the region. I wouldn't exactly call it 'peace,' but it was a nice change from what it had been when...
A/N: I'm sorry about the mess with the previous chapters over Christmas. Somehow I uploaded the wrong chapter and it took half a dozen messages and reposting the chapter 3 times -- each of which takes about 4 days to be approved or refused -- before I could convince them to fix it. But it's done, and we're moving on -- the final battle approaches! In respon...
This story/series was on the site under a different name a while back. I chewed on it and figured why not revise and tweak it and post it again? Readers may see common themes and set-ups to my other stories, which I hope is a positive. I'm here for the fun. In keeping with that, the story will be heavier on indulgence and fun than on plot, but you'll find en...

Faster this time, he dropped his broadsword and cried mercy. My goddess clapped. "Keelin, this is excellent!" I was dripping with sweat. For two years I'd w...
