I stand in the crystal water unable to move for a few seconds, as I watch him walk away into the shadows. My entire body tingles in satisfaction. I have never felt so alive as I do at this moment. Breaking the enchantment, I wade back into the shallows and retrieve my soap container so I can finish my bath. Lathering the soap across my body I run my hands...
He skips up the stairs effortlessly like she isn't lying in his arms. He momentarily looks through the halls as if he's forgotten where he sleeps. He finally finds it, and all the while she's taking in the eccentricity of his home with statues and figurines from different parts of the world. Even though she's probably been around the world as much as him, sh...
Another rich, heart-felt Friday, late-late-late in the afternoon... The sun is going down, dipping its head low against the breast of the earth past the long arms of cascading willows blowing lightly in the breeze. For a moment I look over my shoulder, the bare skin of my lower back pressed against the sinister, stained white of a painted brick wall. Heel t...
Lybee was restless. She didn't know how to tell David that she wanted something, anything, to make their nights more exciting. They had been dating for nearly six months when he suggested moving in with her, to spend their time together and be closer. It took her a week to decide. She thought it over from so many angles, always coming up with the same answer...
As I stepped out of the back office to go talk to Bill, my boss, my way was blocked by Suzi Wilson, standing in the middle of the aisle talking to Cathy, the secretary. I heard Suzi say, "... and I'm out of this place as soon as I find a good man to put a baby in my belly." "Well," I muttered sotto voce, as I walked past, " I'm safe. I shoot blanks." It w...
CHAPTER NINE. It was end of term and Kainene was beyond thrilled. It had been a very trying last week. Ever since the Christmas ball, Kainene had not gone for any lectures. She had not missed her seminars as those had been compulsory and she could not bear to do so. Of course, not having either Heather or Minty in any of her groups had been a deciding facto...
Just got this down at 2am, surely rife with errors, I'll edit later. Cheers. ***** Late, she's been in bed an hour, he's just getting back from work, stressed and tired, he crawls in waiting for her to be pissy, preemptively defensive. "Hey baby, you sleeping?" He checks, ready to recoil. She doesn't move but softly from under the blankets, "No. Can't...
Braedan called Ada, knowing she could get in touch with Peter if they weren't already together. As it turned out they were down the street at a nearby coffee shop, waiting for Galen and Braedan. Ada had only been able to convince Peter not to follow the pair to the hospital, by offering the nearby alternative. "Hey, Doc, how did everything go?" she asked c...
I own this story. I wrote it myself. It is based off of my own sexual fantasy. All characters are over 18. ***** I make my way into the cramped classroom, and my favorite smell hits me: dried paint and fresh canvas. This time, though, it's mixed with the smell of beer. It's the last day of our weekend art class and our fellow students are celebrating with...
This story is dedicated to the men and women who defend us all. And to the silent heroes, their families. Bless you all. *** "It's a tradition," Esther reminded herself as she pulled the box from the top shelf. For twenty-five years, since her Tommy was just two, she had decorated their house from top to bottom with ghosts, vampires and ghouls of all shap...
