How did she keep getting into these situations? Well, no, it was him getting into these situations and she was certainly going to maintain that for as long as they worked together. Chosen by Andraste, her ass. If that was true, then the prophet certainly had a ridiculous sense of humor. The Inquisitor was a naïve, excessively optimistic fool who, despite hi...
The dragon's reptilian claws dug into the stone to wind its green scaled body tightly around the pillar. Its head with the ghastly big, baby-like eyes were raised into the blackness of the night sensing, keenly paying attention -- a hunger for the hunt filled the air. Only a faint, coal-black plume of smoke rose from its big, open nostrils -- like a human su...
I slowly woke to the sound of the alarm clock buzzing away in the back of my mind and stretched out a hand, pressing the pause button on the top - another ten minutes in bed will be OK, besides, Martin won't have to get up this morning, he has a day off – lucky sod! As this thought got through to my conscience, I was suddenly wide awake – its Friday – NAKED...
Lunch was a little bit strained. They engaged in small talk, covering the weather, office politics, and a bit about the project. They even laughed a small bit, but neither wanted to address the elephant in the room. The walk back to office was mostly silent and, at times, awkward. After brief rest stops they both returned to the conference room where their...
I was getting ready to pull my partially frozen hair out. Being dragged by the hand throughout the town by my fiancee was leaving me completely depleted in energy and sanity, but I kept it together for her sake. She seemed to be going stir crazy. Our everyday seemed insufficient for her. Unfortunately, our cold little Korean home town wasn't the most exciti...

It was a Sunday for God's sake. All the other labs were vacant, their researchers taking their much-deserved 2-day break. Me? Becaus...
It was a surprise when the house across the street posted a FOR SALE sign. I was shocked when a SOLD tag was added the next day. I knew the real estate market was hot, but this was ridiculous. In the middle of consuming left-over meatloaf, my wife interrupted. "Harvey, did you see the house across the street sold?" "Un-uh." A lesson learned from years of...
From the Notebook of Ulyssa Kincaid Who would have thought that one of life's little ironic pleasures would hinge on a memorably ugly bowling bag? It happened on my last birthday, I'd just turned forty-one. My family had made a big deal about my fortieth birthday the prior year. I'd been surprised at the house Jeremy built with a huge party, gag gifts, male...
She listened to the recording constantly, or so I hoped. I wanted her to play it back to herself dozens of times and re-live those three minutes of ecstasy. Three minutes, because that was all my cell phone would record. I imagined even then, though we had spent only a few hours in each other's company, that she would want to remember it like I did, and wi...

This is part 1 of a planned erotic thriller. ***** The closets in the rooms of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York aren't the most spacious. Back when the current hotel was built in 1931 the expectations of luxury hotels were vastly different than they are today. Despite many updates an...
