"Dad, you're kidding. Right?" "No Son. I need your help. This is an important contract and I need to get this sloop out of the yard in Annapolis and to the Port of Seattle by the twenty-first." "Yeah, but can't you get one of the other drivers to do it? I wanted to spend some time skiing." "Son, I have a responsibility to the people that work for me. I wo...
He puts his best jeans on tonight. His black boots are polished, laced up nice and tight. Frankie's hair is slicked like back in seventy-five; come on baby, let's drive... His fingers caress the cold curves and raise dusty stripes on the sleek black skin of his oldest friend. "Summertime baby, summertime... Let's get your top down." "You talking to me or...
Sydd slid up next to him as he handled the produce at the open-air market on the waterfront.... 'He damn sure knows his way around melons,' she chuckled.... Wip had positioned herself almost directly in front of him...thinking she'd most certainly 'catch' his eye if he looked up....and she was definitely 'eye-catching' today....

Roger woke at 6AM on the day he finally would have his encounter with the two mysterious prostitutes.

Chapter 4: *end of the beginning* "I've been studying aromatherapy for over a year now" I informed her, lighting a candle as she sat on the bed pouring another drink. "Really!" she blurted out in total amazement, looking up to scrutinise me closely. "No kidding" I replied, looking down & taking a hefty swig of the vodka with a nod of thanks. "You're full...

Now in between the mustiness of archives and the lugging of tomes back and forth across campus, he still found time to keep the body toned—nothing spectacular; simply hard and defined… He was almost...
The gray granite cliffs towered above the skiff, the waves threatening to dash the small craft against the rocks as the thirteen passengers, ten of them dressed in simple prison tunics of red wool, fought to stay upright.

Spirella cantered ahead of her slender companion, who giggled as she bent forward and pretended to initiate another attack with the long feathers that adorned the harness of smooth white leather daintily padlocked around her head.
