The morning arrived with the sounds of birds singing and a gentle breeze blowing in through the window. Rance opened his eyes noticing an empty bed beside him, realising that Ria was across the room looking out over the valley. "Everything ok?" Ria turned around wearing a wide smile. "Everything is great." She walked back over to the bed and gave Rance a g...
"I'm not even sure why I'm here." Reba said, trying to smile. In her early forties, Reba had curly dark hair and was somewhat curvaceous, but the sort that dressed sensibly to avoid the censure of her peers. Chianti had met Reba when they'd been taking an Italian cooking course together at Mallard Creek Community College, just across Buttermilk Bridge. It...

Jason held his head in his hands. It had been a busy day interviewing and none of the girls so far had shown much promise. The biggest problem so far had been language. Most of the girls spoke passable English but passable just didn't cut it. That was the hard part about interviewing for foreign escorts. There was an ample supply of Western girls but the one...
I removed the semi-automatic rifle from my back and placed the muzzle into the mouth of a tube sticking out of a red barrel. I had already cleared my weapon when I entered the base, but since I was about to walk into a mess hall to eat with hundreds of other troops, I had to do it all over again. I removed the magazine and pulled the charging handle back. Th...
chapter four A silver Mercedes 300D pulled up alongside promptly at eight the next Friday morning, and the back right door swung open as the sedan stopped. The driver jumped out and took Callahan's suitcase, put it in the boot then shut the door as Harry settled in. To his surprise he saw a man in the back seat with him, a middle-aged man with an attache ca...
The Beach Villa resort advertised itself as a playground for adults. While that could mean many things, Joe and Karyn decided to give it a shot and booked their next vacation there.
