I was so horrified that our priest had seen me on the bus with a young man's hand on my thigh while my husband, Bill, looked on. Bill swore that Father Mick hadn't seen anything, but I wasn't so sure. He had been his usual jovial self on the bus, but it kept running through my head over and over again that he just couldn't have missed what was going on. I wo...
Chapter 9 Don't You Love It When A Plan Comes Together? I wasn't rich by any means, but I certainly had enough money set aside for a nice engagement ring. When Gina finally was able to discuss the situation with me, we decided to look for a ring on the weekend. We couldn't decide on a date for the wedding, but that didn't seem to be important to either of u...

Fran was so excited. It had been over six months since they had been entirely alone and not rushed when they had made love. Not since before their beautiful daughter had been born. Not that either of them begrudged having her in their life. She was their life and they both loved her dearly. But as any new parents will tell you, there is never time enough to...

Startled because her first hope was that it was Reese Harley, and startled second because the man was big and black. She opened the door cautiously. Behind her back she held Lester Dodd's big army Colt. "What do you want?" she asked. She wasn't a...
When I was a younger man in my mid 20's I became involved with a married black couple near my hometown. I first met Anthony while working as an assistant manager at a small town RadioShack in southeast Alabama. He had been hired as a sales associate to work mornings and weekends and as I was the opening manager that meant he'd be working the same hours as...
Passion in James County XII The Widow By D.C. Roi Chapter ten Brian surprised Fran by showing up at her office just before the end of the business day. He was pleased to see the smile on her face and the way her eyes brightened when she saw him. "I hope you don't mind that I'm a bit early," he said. Fran smiled. "Hi, Brian," she said. "I'm not at all up...
