Nate removed his hand from beneath my skirt and drew my blouse closed, all without looking at me. He kept his eyes cast downward as he stood and didn't turn around right away. Instead he took a few deep, steadying breaths and began doing up his own buttons. "Could you please give us a moment, Mrs. Macintyre?" he said asked in a very tight voice. Though he...
Chapter 9 – The Inquest On the way to the Inquest Chamber, Emma adjusted her step to accommodate the chain connecting her ankles. The chain tinkled musically on the floor as she walked. Hans held the handle to her leash loosely in his left hand, and she walked closely behind him, like a dog walking to heel. They left the building through a pair of swing do...

Four hours later we were in open space again, the destination planet straight ahead about twelve hours away. I was on the bridge with Pedro and Juan. A scan revealed there were no ships within detecting range. "Alright boys, this is where we sta...
Lighting flashed and the thunder crashed with a loud BOOM, making her jump and hug her mother's leg.

The Heart of a Woman "Dad, it's me. We're at the hospital," James stated cryptically. "Annie?" Mr. Reed inquired. He heard his son utter a strangled grunt in response.

Alexis felt bad leaving Lana alone, but she wasn't just having sex for fun. She hoped that by doing it so much, she could hopefully avoid whatever it was that made her act like some whore whenever so...
Fair warning: There's (almost) no sex in this sex in this story. ***** My Dad shot himself when I was eight years old. Felt like I had to get that out there. When I look back, and try to gauge how much loss I felt at the death of my father, I find myself reluctantly thinking that the loss wasn't that great.
