It had settled comfortably about two-thirds up my th...
Mary very nearly flung her phone across the room after her boyfriend hung up on her. It was so frustrating that he treated her like a toy. Kris treated her like she was something to be taken down off the shelf when he wanted something, twenty bucks, a ride to work maybe a fuck. When he was done with her she was supposed to be content to sit on the shelf wait...
There must be thousands -- possibly millions -- of 'what ifs' in everyone's life. Without even pausing to think too much, I can recall a number of really significant ones in mine. I mean, 'what if' I hadn't turned down (very gently, I might add) the rather odd-looking boy who'd asked me for a date when we were in our final year at school? He had a pleasant...

This is a work of fiction. All characters depicted are over the age of 18. ***** The rigid inflatable was swinging off its davits, a few feet off the water. Reaching inside, Beck unearthed a buoyancy vest and shrugged it on. Zipping it to the neck and buckling the waist strap, she fetched a second vest and handed it to Tanya. "That's okay, Sweetheart," T...
