Chapter One 1943 I know they only invited me to that dinner out of pity. I knew they all knew. It wasn't like what it is now, not a bit. Now, it's... well if you've grown up in modern times, it's hard to explain exactly what it was like then; how repressed we all were, especially when it came to sex. It's much better now. Bobby was the year above me in...
Laela was having an awkward moment. She had just been pitched the most ridiculous bounty mission of all time and tears were literally streaming down her cheeks from laughing so hard. Only the country bumpkin villagers who had gathered around her in the tavern weren't sharing in her merriment. In fact they looked a bit pissed that she was laughing so hard a...
This story is entirely a work of fiction. ***** The meeting was winding down again. But I came as I had been doing for the last several weeks, to people-watch, and there she was, standing across the room, talking to a pretty blonde woman with a healthy figure. It was hard to say whether she was in charge. But I spent a lot of time tracking Holly around...
The Grove All morning, Mary's thoughts kept drifting to Alvin and the story he had told her of Bonnie, of his love and of his loss. She had told him to take the day for himself, but she longed to reach out to him, to hear this voice and ask him if he was okay. He was good at doing his taciturn New England thing, but she could tell how much he still hurt, de...
I, again, want to thank my editor, smoothed, for his hard work. You add considerable refinement to my work and it makes sharing these stories all the more enjoyable for me. I've gone back and forth with whether I should place this in romance or exhibition/voyeur categories. Obviously, it contains elements of both, but I promise that going forward, Ellie an...
Chapter 6 -- Morning After Disclaimer: This will be a short chapter and contains violence, physical and mental abuse against women. My purpose is for you to identify some characteristics of a person who is being subjected to Domestic Violence and say it. To those who think they can try to change a person, please don't. No matter if a male or female, a viol...
Author's Note: This starts right where I left off in Part 13...right as Lucretia walks towards her father. I will add it here for continuity. ***** Lucretia dropped her spell the moment she saw Marid and her eyes were wide and had gone completely black. Gwen finished her turn and squealed before getting up from the couch and sprinting over to join the vam...
Don't ask me where this story came from, the name "Sally Mae" popped into my old head and this tale ran out of my keyboard. I have no idea where it came from, I hope some of you enjoy it. Any typos are mine and mine alone, I admit to being quite good at making those. +++ Sally Mae almost made it past the barn, but then she heard her Ma call out for her....
Mimi tried the key in the lock only once before realising that Sven was already home and had bolted the door. She banged twice, mild irritation swimming in her chest. Despite her continuous reminders, he always forgot and it annoyed her. She was tired; ready to sigh heavily and tell him to avoid putting the bolt on if he got home first but the sentiment fade...
Turning north onto Country Road 27, I was just a few short miles from my destination. The little town of Texas Creek, Colorado lie just a mile or so ahead. The Lazy K Ranch, my grandfather's place, was just a few miles north of the community. Texas Creek wasn't much of a town. A dozen or so houses and a convenience store that served as a café, gas station a...
