After leaving my wife in bed with her new lover I spent a busy, distracted morning in the office before making a beeline back to the hotel. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach as I rode up in the elevator, worried that Julie might be having major regrets about me setting her up with Floyd, and about leaving her alone with him in his room that morning. What...
Katie inhaled the calming aroma of her tea as she looked out into the familiar back yard. Steph puttered around in the kitchen as she made them a snack, the sound of the lawn mower droning on the other side of the house on the sunny spring afternoon. It had been almost a year since Katie's parents had moved across the harbour to be closer to work. They had...
When I took (and flunked) Latin in my freshmen year at high school, we studied a textbook that had sort of a "Roman soap opera", which took place before the Vesuvius eruption. Studying the lifestyle and culture of the people of Pompeii is what inspired this. A lot of this is probably inaccurate, but I hope you enjoy. ***** Pompeii, 79 AD: "Tell me, are yo...
Comments I received on Katy the Virgin made me take a new look at my characters and where I was going with them. This story is a re-write of Katy the Virgin, and this is the base for future stories. I appreciate all the comments and votes! Thanks! Yes, my name really is Paradise and yes, my mom was a hippie. A soldier hippie, of all things. She died when...

If you're one of my Romance fans, I suggest you skip this series since it's all group sex. *** Sabrina sat in her car, unsure of what to do next. She supposed she could have driven to the cleaners to drop off Kaya's stained white shorts, but she didn't feel particularly compelled to do so, not right now anyway. Her hands clenched the steering wheel, peerin...
Part two of this one. Please let me know your thoughts, and cast your votes when you're done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Why didn't you tell me? Didi asked. She wasn't mad, just curious, or so her smile told me. "Well, to be honest, I didn't know, at first anyway. Until we got to your room, and you told me what you were in town for, I had no...
Lars, 18, is going to join the Army. His world is turned upside down with an after-party realization from farm girl, Daisy Foster, who secretly is love with him. Sparks fly. The World ignites. Please let me know what you think of this story as I want to expand this to a novel. Otherwise, tell me it is not so good and I will modify. Thanks so much! Daisy's...
[NOTE: The character named Anamaria in the first chapter has had her name changed to Arianna. Often in the course of writing a long story, a better, more appropriate name suggests itself as the character develops. Such was the case here, as 'Arianna' conveys a womanliness and level of sophistication that the more youthful 'Anamaria' doesn't suggest.] * The...
