"Danielle, I know I can count on you to accept your punishment like the adult you are, can't I?" Will said, using the same over-the-reading-glasses trick that his parents had always used to scare him straight back in the day. His granddaughter flopped down miserably on a deck chair facing him, still dressed in the suit he'd ordered her to wear to her sentenc...
All the girls had warned Allison about Todd. Mark, in his gentle and diplomatic way, had done so too. And they'd been right. As Allison sat half-numbly in her favorite seat at the coffee shop, Todd was still talking. But Allison wasn't listening. She was remembering her friends' every word that she had so blithely ignored. You're in love with him for all...
EDITOR: MIRIAM BELLE CREATIVE CONSULTANTS: MIRIAM BELLE & SIMPLY_CYN "TRACKS IN THE SNOW" *** It didn't just snow. The small city of Breystaff, along with the neighboring towns of Castleton Springs, Mt. Shasta and Weed, was blanketed with three feet of pure, virgin snow in a matter of eight hours. During the early morning hours of December 20th, Pacif...
Paris Hilton comes to visit me, and a whole new world opens up. Paris and I are hounded by photographers. Miley sneaks in to join us and has another contest with Paris before Chris arrives. ***** For the next few months I thought about what Miley had said. I allowed myself to be open to others and actually met a few women to date. At the office Christmas p...
The next week was a busy one. On Sunday, after our morning sex session, I asked Anne if she had ever been to a baseball game. She said she couldn't even remember watching an entire game on TV much less actually going to a stadium to attend one. I told her that her life would not be complete if she didn't see at least one game since it was practically a requi...
Author's note: I began this series in December of 2013 while I was finishing another series. At that time most of the world (including me) had not heard of Brittany Maynard. Brittany was a young, vibrant recently married woman who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer on New Years Day 2014 and in April she was given a prognosis of six months...
Tasha was completely over being single. The whole "single" part of it was already thoroughly depressing, but to add insult to injury, it seemed like every other week there was some new and novel way of hooking up with random strangers via technology - or at the very least, new ways to put you in contact with varying degrees of sexual predator. It seemed like...
"We all agree then. Mark has the potential. Right?" Both Melanie and I nodded in agreement. "That being the case, John you need to train him up. Do what you can to build some ego in him. I was thinking we could place ads for college women to participate in some sex therapy research at my clinic. Hell, I could even apply for a couple of research grants. "A...
The big C. Who would have thought it? Thirty-four, almost thirty-five years old, and she had cervical cancer. The doctors were positive they'd caught it early. They were confident they'd be able to treat it with 'just a hysterectomy'. Just a hysterectomy? What about another baby? While they were talking about saving her life, all she could think about was t...
“What are you thinking about, luv?” Spike pulled Willow onto his lap, brushing stray pieces of hair from her face. “Nothing.” “Don’t try to fob me off with a ‘nothing’, pet. I know how you think, know when you’re upset. Now tell me what’s goin’ on in that head of yours.” She sighed. “Spike.” “Yes. . .?’ “No, I’m thinking about Spike.” Spike smirked. “...
