Hex had a bad moment when the one SS officer changed seats outside the church, fearing he'd been discovered. After that everything went smoothly considering he clung to the back of a car driving down busy streets. But soon they left Munich behind and traveled west on a road without streetlights and sparse traffic. The situation improved since he had less c...
*** Breaking Down *** I understood his point, but I didn't necessarily agree with his vision. "Don't let their looks fool ya. Those Tannerites have a fortune socked away somewhere," my boss had lectured me. "They're shrewd and resourceful, and they have no overhead. Go in and sniff it out. There's a market there, and it's untapped. I can feel it." And so t...
I've been playing with the storyline here for some time but was unable to bring it together. However, the other day I was re-watching Casablanca. It struck me that Humphry Bogart was able to create two distinct characters Richard Blaine in Paris and Rick in Casablanca. It was what I needed here. WARNING this is what is referred to as a raac story or at leas...
DISCLAIMER: If you're looking for "quick sex", please move along. This is a "story", and there's something to be said for 'anticipation'. You have been warned! There isn't a time of year I love more than summer. Warm weather, plenty of sun, time at the shore, flowers in my garden, kids outside. I especially relish the last one. The kids are out of school,...
My husband and I work at a small precision engineering firm. Part of the success in turning the fortunes of the business around has been the partnership that we have developed with an engineering business based in Germany. We had the technology and capacity to manufacture some components for this firm, and as a result, the financial position of the company...
While we were in Germany, Mandi got a large dose of European styles, food, and an even bigger dose of European thinking. She realized that some of the sexual mores of Europeans were very different from the way she grew up back home. Her introduction into partying with another couple was her first foray into more moderate sexual play that she probably would...
**** I wanted to do this story the way that it appears because the reveal of things and the characters looked better to me than just one long haul by the crawling calendar since there are years to this tale. There will be less of that toward the end because all of the relevant pieces will lie in the reader's mind like hopefully an almost-completed jigsaw pu...
Once again, I would like to thank Flavian for his editing expertise and logic. There is not a lot of sex in this story. ***** Jungle Fever---Two women and three men go on Safari. They don't call them the big five for nothing. The big wide-bodied jet lifted smoothly off the ground at Dulles airport and I thought, yet again, how amazing it was that airpl...
BRUSSELS, VIENNA: APRIL/MAY LUKE, ANITA, ELENA 'Well, if she has to, she has to, I suppose. I'd better load her down with some self-study material, and she can e-mail me her written work for correction. The exam's only two months away though, and I'm not really happy about losing nearly half the class time that's left.' Anita and Elena looked at each other...
Author's note: As the wedding approaches, many threads draw together. Pardon if I miss a couple. The next installment will conclude the story. Chapter 18—Releasing Steam Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: Aunt Francine's famous party ended fairly early. I think it was because of the drive home. In any event, Mom went up to Dad, while Aunt Francine, Aunt...
