Chapter 1 110º. Thank god for air-conditioning, Anne thought. West Texas. Flat stretch of endless desert and burning blue sky. Rest Stop Cafe. Red neon sign to the right. She pulls in on the gravel lot. Sign in broad window says, 'Enjoy a hearty meal in air-conditioned comfort.' Not many customers. Anne takes a booth and orders a turkey sandwich with salad...
Slowly I sorted out my possessions, it had been six months since my wife had died and it was time for me to move My plans were to sell the house and move back south to where my family lived in the hopes that one day the wounds would heal. For now though they were still fresh, still painful and I found myself weeping more than once as I came across something...
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips." (Percy Bysshe Shelley) Some people like to kiss. Some people think kissing is one of those things you do on the way to other activities.

It had been three weeks since the so-called "Suicide Squad" saved the day from the Sorceress and her brother and not much has changed. At least, not for the prisoners at Belle Reve. Sure, Deadshot could see his daughter, Harley Quinn got busted out by the Joker, and KC got his flatscrean, but not much else changed. Captain Boomerang was still yelling in his...

It didn't make any difference to me, but Dave, wow! He was just totally turned on, as in couldn't keep his hands off of me turned on. I had to promise him a really good time when we g...
When couples tell people about how they met, I sincerely think they embellish things a lot. Seriously. Everybody's got a lousy story about meeting at a mall or restaurant, either that or they talk about a romantic setting like a beach or a park. Me? I met my future wife inside a porno store in downtown Ottawa. My name is Khalid Hussein, not to be confused wi...
