Greetings readers, This is the forward chapter to a series based on Betsy from the two Ann series, taking place after the series chronologically. Perhaps it's actually an epilogue of sorts for those being technical as far as the timeline, but since it's the first that's being posted, a forward it is! For those who are unfamiliar with either Ann series, it...
Chapter 26 -- 'Frequent, Intense, and Wonderful' The bold-faced newspaper headline in section two the Tampa Times Sunday Edition read: "Frequent, Intense, and Wonderful" The article delicately described the discerned lifestyle of the men and women in the Circle and their polyamorous relationships. After describing the lifestyle, including heavy allusion...
Chapter 26 -- Adulting. Merry Noel Heather, Alice, Scarlett, Athena, and Dave stood just inside the large room. The room was a hodgepodge of decorating styles. A few band posters hung on the walls, along with some notable pieces of original art. A large king-size bed backed up to one wall. Two separate desks were in the room a few feet apart, each with a la...
"Remove your pantalettes and lay back on the bed," he instructed, my horror rising. "And when you have done so, part your thighs so that I may be certain of your virtue." Had not the clergyman been waiting downstairs, I would have escaped once more to the wharf and fled, posthaste, back to my beloved New England. But there I was, and there I would stay. Sha...
*Author's Note: I received a very warm email quite some time ago from a reader who said she loves reading my May-December romance stories primarily because she's an 'older' woman who married a much-younger man. After contacting her and discussing it, she gave me permission to provide their ages and how they met as well as some other basic personal informatio...
The trip to Japan had been very beneficial. For myself and for the Agency. Unfortunately, it had also left me falling behind on work. Which is why I was still sitting at my desk, working, while everyone else was off enjoying their evenings. I sighed deeply as I realized if I weren't here, I'd be home alone. Marty and Kara were together. Connor and Ayelet ha...
Authors note: I strongly urge you to read the preceding chapters. With the context they provide, this chapter and those that follow will be much more enjoyable for you. Without knowing the characters and from whence they sprang the story may not make much sense. Many of the chapters contain highly erotic scenes of adults having intimate sexual relations. If...
Chapter 21 -- A New Normal "I can't get over how 'normal' you all appear to be," Joyce exclaimed after Alice, Julie, and Dave had responded to her various questions for the past half-hour about their life and marriage. Dave wondered about her excessive curiosity. There was more there than simple prurient interest. Dave teased, "Despite?" Joyce nodded and...
"What would a monster do with a core?" I asked, and Casey blinked several times, her eyes flicking between the Kobalt, and my own concerned gaze. "I- I don't know," she answered, apparently as flabbergasted by the development as I was. I turned to Gisela. "Do monsters ever do that?" I asked, and the girl quickly shook her head. "It is not within my under...
Gwen's surprise at her friends' practical joke was total. As she stood looking at her family with her mouth open, Steve hugged her shoulders to him and whispered in her ear. "This was Lisa's idea. She had the patches waiting for her on the helicopters and passed them out when you weren't looking. Are you going to be able to laugh this off?" "Are you kiddin...
