At lunch Eve and Tricia climbed into Monica's car and pulled out of the parking lot. "Uh, where are you going?" Tricia asked as Eve turned toward home. "Aw...um, home...why?" Eve asked. "I swear, Mon! Go that way! To Bobby's parents' cabin on the lake! They're out of town and we have it for the weekend don't you remember? Damn Mon, I'd swear you aren't y...
"First of all, we have house rules." Allie said, wagging her finger under my nose in mock-seriousness. "House rules?" I thought to myself. We just got here for a visit, and already our hostess is telling us there are rules? What is this, reform school? "Rules?" I prompted, cautiously. "Yes." She said, crisply. "One, we are nudists, so no clothes are allow...
AUTHORS NOTE: The building where Eve and Steve take shelter on Helvellyn is real. It exists. But be warned, I've exaggerated the size and condition of it so don't go there in the middle of winter expecting a cosy little bothy, because it isn't. ***** CHAPTER 36: HELEN COLTMAN'S STRIDING EDGE Five AM. We got washed and dressed, packed our rucksacks with th...
A/N: The following chapter will contain thoughts of what Eve and Roarke's friends are thinking when they find out about their disappearances.

After removing my hood, mi...
Seems like this has enough interest that I wanted to give it another chapter before I bounced around to anything else. Yes, new readers: I bounce from series to series. I also try to keep my series open-ended, so if you're frustrated when a series "doesn't finish" please understand I'm not likely to reach for an ending with a bow on it. Hope you're good with...
Explanations and Vacations Standing dripping in the salon, I was overcome with emotions that were difficult to separate: shame, anger, and defiance were all there. Monique in her robe looked from Eve to me. With her Gallic shrug, she sat down on the sofa, and crossing her legs carelessly lit a cigarette. "How did you find that?" was all I could think of to...
Hours prior to this moment, the once virgin Goddess of wisdom, daughter of Zeus, enemy of Eve and her blood, learned to explore the front gates of mortal lust. Though her heart was rapidly giving itself to the young girl who she once demanded the life of. Eve! That name. Eve! The very name that made her lips tremble at the moment as the young dark haired a...
"So...can I buy you a drink?" Eve smiled patronizingly at the hopeful question, her glittering brown eyes sweeping across the older man's face slowly. He wasn't ugly. Not handsome certainly, but not ugly, and he had money if his watch and shoes weren't borrowed. But his body left more to be desired with its soft edges, and the desperation was poorly conceal...
There was a world of mist where time stood still. The sky was always grey and there were never any clouds or sun shine. There was grass as far as the eye could see.
