HARD PASSION: The Chronicles of Erica Bradson. Chapter 4. Agreed Ownership A wonderful tune of classic music sang in my ear, the strong bitter red wine put me in a relaxing mood, the tasty food on my plate kept me asking for more as I gently ate it, and my eyes praised the decorated white dinner table. It was nice being invited over for dinner at the Harp...
Uncertain whether is was due to guilt over where he had come from or just being considerate not to wake his dad, Mark snuck into the house. Perhaps he just didn't want to have to talk to his father yet. "Got something to hide?" But that was not to be, Mark realized as George greeted him from the kitchen table. "No, just thought you'd still be sleeping and...
Chapter 7: Tested When night began to fall they still hadn't found shelter. It seemed that no matter how far they walked, the forest was as sparse as before. There was nowhere to hide. Zyra was sure that was the intention. They walked a bit farther until their exhaustion and hunger settled in. The fruit on the trees became thicker the closer to the center...

Peter was feeling nervous as he walked to work. He was pretty lucky to be employed in a prestigious alchemists lab, even if it was just as a cleaner and general assistant. Magus Alexei - his employer - wasn't exactly the friendliest of bosses, but he paid reasonably well. Unfortunately, Peter had not come into work the previous day and now Alexei would likel...
When I left my house, I drove straight to the apartment that my secretary, Sally, had arranged. Over the past few years, every time my company developed an apartment complex, I began including four to five furnished apartments in each development to rent as short-term executive apartments. Our area has a lot of foreign companies and many of them have manager...
Chapter II: Hunting pack In moments of fear, our minds run crazy, quickly searching for a solution... a path to escape... a clear direction to follow, so you can put as much distance between you and the menace that threatens you. Every animal in the taiga is just like us... following the same line of action... from bugs to packs of wolves... they all fear d...
Please read Chapter 1 prior to this one. Otherwise, this chapter will not make sense to you. Again, there is no erotic content in this chapter. Wait until Chapter 3 for that to begin.
