Psychologists and sociologists the world over debate the origins of mankind's habits: nature or nurture? Is man born with a particular habit, or is it instilled in him by way of experience? A careful reading of the opposing analyses does not really lead to one particular answer for any particular habit. Much the same can be said of Dan's attraction to older...
Chapter 14: Utah -Love me for Worse It didn't take long for Tyler to figure out what was going on. Destiny was giving him every opportunity to buy an engagement ring without her standing in the way. As soon as she sprang the news of her intention to marry, his decision had already been made. He didn't need a week. Nevertheless, he promised himself he would...
I've explored this theme before: first love and where it leads or doesn't lead. I'm convinced that in most cases it ends, as it should for all sorts of good reasons. My first love in college was a striking brunette who, I was firmly convinced, would someday be my wife. We parted during our sophomore year. Geography was a factor but there were other issues i...
If anyone's actually reading these, I apologize for the horribly long wait. Being a grad student eats my life. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and please let me know what you think (if anything). __________________ ___________________ Jamie was roused from a deep and dreamless sleep—the first she'd experienced in the six years since her father's death—by a loud...
Heads up, everyone--not a lot of action here. (Pretty much none, really.) But it is a novel, so you've got to have some plot somewhere. My apologies for any disappointment... Luke leaned back slightly for balance as he walked forward down the slanted ladder. His arms were laden with a bucket of water, a stack of clothes, a bowl of porridge, a cup of milk....
Through text while I was eating breakfast I arranged to meet with him again Tuesday night at my house unless I had to work late, in my line of business one never knows. Though Sylvie and I were usually at the precinct before the rest of the team arrived, I was still surprised to see her sitting on the corner of my desk with a coffee for me in hand and a smir...
They were classmates, Robert and the two women whose names were Lenore and Christie. They sat together, in the back of the room, while Professor Hilroy went on and on about sociology. The lectures were a little dry but he's get excited when students would raise their hands to make points in class so it wasn't all bad. This was summer school at Indiana Univer...
"This is very vanilla," said Adrien as he shook his head and stated his dull opinion. He adjusted his wide rimmed glasses and placed his hands on his hip inside his open blazer. The conference room went silent. Everybody looked tormented and some looked like they had not slept in days. "I am looking to impress her! Not put her to sleep guys! You don't seem...
Chapter Two -- Abigail Thompson Now... Steven Balfour was sitting at the desk in his bedroom staring intently at the computer screen where an attractive mature woman dressed in a business suit was bent over an office table being fucked by a young man. The man had kicked her heels apart and was holding her down on the desk with her skirt hiked up, her pant...
James and I always shared a dream of taking a cruise to Alaska. We frequently sat up late at night discussing our fantasies of going to our forty-ninth state. We found early in our relationship that we both loved whales and had a desire to watch them migrate. Finally, we saved enough money to afford the cruise. Our travel agent found us a really good deal...
