Lindsay made her way to the bar, not bothering to glance at the familiar faces from her past. Screw them. Screw him. She wasn't sure why she even came to this damn thing. She had nothing to show for the past ten years. It had been nothing but heartache and empty wallets for her. She ordered a dirty martini and sat down at a stool, eyeing them. They were doc...
He walked over to her, tangling his hand in that thick mane of curly red hair, licking the side of her neck, before kissing her hard and fast. Then he turned around and walked away without a backward glance. "I'll see you later." he called over one shoulder. With that he walked through the doorway and was gone. She shook her head with a laugh, once again...
I had just sat back down at my computer after putting the kids on the bus when I heard a knock on the door. Mildly curious, I pushed in the desk chair and opened the door a crack. Immediately my heart seemed to pause, then began beating furiously in my chest. "Hey," he said, smiling at me with his head cocked to the right. My mouth went dry as I stared at t...
I needed a house. I hate sales people--unless, of course, I’m doing the selling. I’d taken a new job, moved across country and was juggling my time between the demands of a new boss and the need for a place to live. The wife stayed behind to continue her job until she could join me. I don’t like the games realtors’ play. So, I wouldn’t sign their agreement...
"Clean up, aisle 7," the loudspeaker buzzed. "Your turn, Jason," My cousin Riley said. "Yeah, I hope it's not in the frozen food department again, ice cream and lasagna really suck to clean up." I glanced at the aisle and saw that somehow peanut butter, jelly, and several sticks of butter had some how been collaborated into a symphony of mess on the floor...
I have this room in my basement that doesn't get used very often. It is a fourth bedroom in my house, and as such it contains a bed, a desk, a light, a couple electrical outlets etc. I guess you could call it a "guest room". Mostly we use our guest room as kind of a store room. It's where we store stuff that has no place in our day to day lives, but has valu...
The beep of the security alarm surprises me as I finish brushing my teeth. It's Halloween and I am about to turn in from hours of handing out candy to the neighborhood broods. House sitting for my ex girlfriend. She is not supposed to be home for a couple days yet. I grab a robe, a bat and head downstairs to check the house. Going down, I spy the shadow of...
Chapter 01: Russ I have multiple lovers. Jealous? You shouldn't be. Sure they have money, otherwise, why would I be with them? And the sex is always exhilarating and non-stop. The men treat me right and shower me with gifts. But you know what? It's damn hard keeping them all happy. It's even more difficult keeping them a secret from each other. I have a sys...
The alarm started beeping and Don reached over to hit the snooze button. Next to him, Meghan began to stir. It took Don a second to remember that he had spent the night at Meghan's townhouse. Both of them work at a large CPA firm together and have started going out 6 weeks ago, at the start of their busy season. He's never dated another auditor before but th...
I never expected that a night out with some friends would leave me with my hands tied and my ankles cuffed. But then again, I suppose that's what I get for eyeing up the handsome stranger across the bar. As I grew bored of babysitting my drunken pals, I thought there would be no harm in grabbing a little something for myself. Just a little buzz to get me as...
