In the end, I couldn't see that I had done anything wrong - or that things would have turned out differently if I had acted otherwise. There was no question that I would miss Jen. But I was honest enough with myself to wonder which I would miss more: Jen, or the incredible sex....
I have a buddy, Chris, who's been my best bud since we were kids. We grew up on farms, one canyon apart. Walking over the ridge between us to play famous explorer or some other kid's game was pretty common when we were ten and nine and older.

Chapter 2: The Feast of the Fall In the aftermath of a day full of intense sensation, Dorée was exhausted and fell into a light doze.

The words were pouring out of her like milk from a breast; each image and phrase had to be suckled, but was readily there to nourish. Kat's fingers dashed across the keyboard swiftly, having a hard time keeping up. She did not bother to check for errors as she typed; there would be many, editing would come later. This unabashed flow was a new experience to...
"There are so many really cool things about being in love, you know? You can have the best day imaginable with ... nothing ... just her. Just being alone with her pretty much makes everything okay," Jared said as he sat in the middle of the big round booth at Player's Sport Bar & Grill. "Huh, oh. This does not sound good," Pete remarked as he entered and wa...

Virginia looked through every glove in the mercantile and could not find a pair in gray kid in her size. "Vi, I'm going to go up to the counter and ask if they have any more of the gloves I want in stock." Violet nodded as she perched a bonnet on her head. She was settling it on her dark curls when a deep voice behind her complimented her, "Why Miss Adams,...
