Rachel grinned happily as she glanced around at John, Alyssa and Jade who sat with her on the sofas in the Officers' Lounge, feeling relaxed and at ease in their company. They were chatting with Jade about her initial experimentation with shape-shifting, and Rachel listened with fascination as the Nymph talked about researching different creatures, so she co...
Note from the actual author: This is a fantasy story I wrote sometime ago. Apologies to the various fantasy authors I was inspired by/shamelessly cribbed from. Any similarities to any actual people living or dead is unintentional, which should probably be assumed being as it's fantasy. The Calandrian Chronicles: Eloise's Journey From the pen of Tatiana Eve...
(This is part one of a three- or four-part novella about two people who start a just-for-sex relationship on impulse. But have they bitten off more than they can chew?) Him So I'm walking down the street to get breakfast after dropping the car off at the dealer. It's still early, not many businesses open, modest traffic, but the sun's up and already starti...
Ron wants to take me parking and have sex in the backseat of his classic car. Revised, rewritten, and continued from Chapter 03: As if already prejudging him based on some of the other, older men in my life, and as if having memorized all they've said in the past, I already knew the questions that Ron would ask me as we got to know one another better. Havi...

That being said, please vote and comment or message me, I enjoy the feedback. -AD ***** Her head is pounding. Her body is cold, she feels it seepin...

Cali checked the time on her phone for the dozenth time and let out a long huff. Tapping her foot on the ground impatiently, she muttered, "Why is she always so fucking late? She got off work two hours ago, and she lives five minutes away. We're gunna miss the show!" Todd shrugged and said, "It's like fifteen minutes of ads and previews first, you know." C...
"Hey Rick, do you remember Kathy Banner?" Kathy Banner. It had been ten years. She had come on board as a new management intern right out of college at all of twenty-two. She had been moderately cute; she had a little too much baby fat and teeth that needed help from an orthodontist. She had that insufferable arrogance of most newly minted college grads who...
