Chapter 3 -- Breaking the Law. Madeline admired herself in the full length mirror, the man who was coming, with an unmissable business deal, would be in for a shock. According to her solicitor he was handsome, about to become very rich and even more importantly famous, just how she liked them. My god I hope he's not gay, I can't deal with gay men, they list...
For Him Finally, after all this time, I’m going to meet him. I’ve been talking to and dreaming about this man for so long that I almost have to pinch myself to see if it’s real. But here I stand, in the airport waiting to be picked up by a man whose body I know as well as my own but only via the internet and digital pictures and description. I have dreame...
I first noticed April at professional functions. I sat next to her once at a benefit. She was a fascinating dinner partner, her knowledge of our community and her long-time efforts on the behalf of major charities made her scintillating dinner companion. I would have pursued her then, but she had to leave early to attend one of her children’s school concert....
I was excited to see April. It had been almost ten years since we'd graduated from college and nearly that long since we'd last seen each other. We were close friends in college, though never more than that, and had stayed in close touch after graduation for a while, but once our careers had taken us to different cities we'd drifted apart and now only talked...
I'd known Rachel for over three years. We went to college together, and though I had graduated a year ago, we still kept in touch while she completed her degree. Rachel was not what most men would consider a classic beauty - more like the girl next door. Nothing about her stood out - average face, average height, average body, medium breasts, regular ass, bu...

— 1692 -- The shepherd ambled up towards the torches in the square, he had been driving flocks for weeks before returning to town, completely unaware of the situation unfolding. He saw a neighbour and nudged him. "Aye, what's the ruckus now?" The man's eyes went wide and he offered a guttural whisper. "It's the Goody Parker, she killed her husband using w...
* RRRRRIIIIIIIIIP * Oh, damn. I pulled my arm out of my Italian wool suit jacket and examined the rip in the fabric. One of the seams under the right arm had split, opening up a large, unsightly hole that I was sure my little travel sewing kit wouldn't be able to patch. "Hello? Front desk?" I asked, picking up the receiver on the bedside phone. "Yes, sir...
Paddling along the estuary of the Bluestone River, Max McAlpine took in a deep lungful of salt-tinged air blown by the breeze off the breakers pounding the bar where the river met the sea. This was life as life was meant to be, he mused, watching two native grey ducks take off from the semi-concealment of a nearby tributary, alarmed by his almost noiseless...
The phone rang and I answered it. It was 8am on a Saturday. I couldn't imagine who it would be. I had been separated for over four months and was just beginning to get back on track, I wasn't completely back on track, I was still drinking lots of whiskey so mornings were hard. "What..?" I answered the receiver, sleep still heavy in my voice. "Jody, It's Do...
