Syra was jerked awake by the door opening to the car and Dominic getting out. She rubbed a hand over her face and shook her head as she stepped out of the car, behind Dominic who was already walking up that stairs of the castle. Sighing, Syra pulled her bags from the trunk and headed up the stairs as well. The incident in the car made her weary of Dominic an...
I awoke with a start when I felt the pressure of the ball being pressed into my mouth. Startled by the sensation, I jumped but I could only move a few inches. My wrists burned as the rough hemp ropes tightened around them. I could feel that someone had already tied my hands together with a rope that stretched to the headboard. My ankles too were bound with h...
Barb, my wife of many years, and I were at Rooster Rock and had walked down to the far end of the beach where there is a small bluff between the beach and the woods. There is an intermediate level partway up the bluff where there is a wide step that is great for providing a small amount of privacy. Walking in, I had stripped down as soon as we had gotten awa...
The kiss changed everything. As they stood together on the bumpy trail, their arms wrapped around each other, Abby's heart quivered. It felt like it was trying to learn to beat again, still rusty, but trying hard all the same. Cam was content, holding this dear woman close to him, feeling her body against his, her heart beating against his chest. Both were...
Darien leaned down and planted her soft, juicy lips on mine. I savored the sweet taste of he her mouth for a moment before I noticed her tongue inside mine. She was French kissing me! This was all new territory for me. I had never kissed a girl, let alone let one run her tongue all over the inside of my mouth. It was all too sweet, too real.... Darien pull...
The room was full of people, half of them Dave and Zara didn't know. It was a gallery opening that was featuring some of Zara's best photographs; therefore they had no choice but to be there. "It this thing ever going to end?" Dave asked, hoping she would say yes, that it would be over soon. "I know how you feel, and besides, all these damned statues, pain...
I settled into an overstuffed, dingy green armchair near the window with my cup of cappuccino. This café is my Sunday morning ritual. I get my morning coffee and sit for hours to people-watch. This particular morning there was a good mix of 20- and 30-somethings. My eyes grazed over a few guys who might be worth a second look. I caught one guy peering over h...
She sat alone in the corner of the dark smoke filled room. A perfection of innocence masked by a tough façade. Her image of disaffected youth fitting with those she found solace with. Beauty buried under grime, silken locks braided once, now left as a collection of rats tails gathered at the crown of her head. She blended in seamlessly, as her heavy lidded g...
In a single, irretrievable moment of sanity you can hear your own voice inside your head asking yourself how in the hell you got here, to this point, to this place. Alone, with this man, this tall, dark, handsome, magnetic man that you hardly know. But that moment disappears like a wisp of smoke on a windy day, and you are carried with the current of that...
Will you remember me? she asked, her voice so soft coming from the dark of George's bedroom, I think not, but I'll remember you and this night. They had spoken for what seemed like an hour, George intent to lay her down. "There's no way I can forget you, Belladonna." You forget my curse. Ah, can two people join, my dear, really join intimately as their e...
