Chapter 1: The Beach I can picture walking down the beach. It's about 3:30 a.m.. The wind is cool and the water is warm, lapping at our feet. The party goers are finally going home and it appears as though we are all alone; the stars shining brightly beyond the reach of the city lights. I lead her down to the waters edge following close behind; letting h...
Author's Note: Read Chapter 1 first. There's also some action in this chapter for those who've been waiting. ***** "Gale?! Gale, can you hear me?" I was being rocked from side to side, while someone yelled into my ear. I groaned and opened my eyes, looking around. I was in a car, Fae's car. I thought I was in my apartment with her, "Oh, thank god." I heard...
My firm was down in the dumps. I had just lost a major case and it was not easy for me to run my law firm and keep up the pretence of doing well and proving to everyone including my ex-wife that I was still a celebrated trial lawyer.

You walk into the room, confidence exuding from you with every stride. My heart speeds up at your sight. Once again, I find myself breathless in your presence. Part of me want to sit patiently on the bed and watch you move. Watch the way you haphazardly remove your clothes in a rush to reach me, your need to be naked. But I can't resist the pull to just touc...
The alarm began ringing at exactly 7:00 as always, sending its mind numbing beeps echoing through my skull. My dream of owning the world's largest greenhouse fading away; quickly being replaced with the dull gray walls of my bedroom. I reach out my right hand and slam the alarm clock, knocking it off the night stand without actually turning it off. Again. "...
The unexpected sound of Mark's voice caused him to jump and scream as he spun around throwing his arms across his body in a vain attempt to hide, "OH HOLY SHhh..." "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." "I'm...I'm...", stammered James as he pulled the blanket off the bed to shield himself. "Hey, it's ok. I was just going to tell you that the latch on...
