'What's the matter, Margaret,' I said, the absence of cooking smells and the sober skirt and blouse evidence that something had upset her equilibrium. I am not such an unreconstructed sexist as to necessarily expect to come home to a cooked dinner, and my wife dressed to thrill, but I had been married long enough to know when Margaret was agitated. She was...

Chris was early. It was nerves. It was his first day as a newly-promoted Trainee Fireman. He'd been promoted at the end of the previous season, and this was his first turn in his new role. He'd read the roster and seen that his Fireman, and therefore mentor, was someone called J. High whom he had not come across before. Chris unlocked the workshop and went...
Author's note: Another one that builds to sex - if this isn't your cup of tea, move along, or not, but be prepared for a build-up :) ~*~*~*~*~ Throughout my teenage years my sole focus was becoming a nurse.

Yep, definitely him. She hadn't seen him in person since leaving Uni, but had done some online checks (who doesn't?) so knew how the years had treated him. Well. Very well....
Sam and Cora's first story appeared in the 'First Time' category. Quite a few readers asked for more (thank you for such lovely feedback) and so, with more than a little trepidation (because it's hard to send characters out into the world after spending so much time with them), here's a second chapter about them.
