The problem was, the town seemed to be way out in the middle of nowhere. The dark-haired man had been driving for three hours, and night was falling. Being a field agent, Matt had to kee...
The bar was busier than Julianna expected. But then, the hotel was busier than usual this weekend -- there was some sort of artist convention and a wedding reception both being held in the hotel itself, not to mention the Bears had a big home game against the Dolphins the next day. From the entrance coming from the hotel lobby, she scanned the crowded bar....
The Beginning The end of the school year was always a stressful time for me. Not only do I have to administer and grade over 100 final exams, but grading final projects, completing report cards, and of course, the dreaded packing of my classroom. I wasn't sure which part I hated more as it was so much work at a time that was filled with so much joy and sorr...
No sex whatsoever . Depending on the response, there will be additional chapters. "Can I help you, gentlemen?" The voice came from a speaker above the door collocated with a video camera.

CATU Building, Washington D.C. You have to pull some strings or something, boss. He's been held hostage for two months now," Sam implores. "I'm sorry Sam, but I am trying as hard as I can," Roger says, shaking his head in dismay. "What about the President? He's the one that has spearheaded what CATU does." "I've already asked him, but his hands are tied....
1. There had been a few times she stopped dating one guy and started up with another, and the joke of it was how little difference it made. Like everybody on the planet, she had a certain type she dug more than others, and like everybody her relationships tended to repeat the same tiresome patterns. Really shouldn't take us by surprise when this keeps happe...
Chapter 1: Veronica "V" Stone V woke up after the blessing of the sun shining its light through the opened shades of the window. V did not need to go outside to tell how beautiful it is. To V it didn't matter if the clouds were dark grey, lightening lighting up the sky, or it would be pouring rain. Nature was beautiful. If only she could control it in he...
Eve and Ryan arrived at the airport exactly two hours early for their flight to Toronto. Eve's firm was sending her to a sales conference. Ryan had invited himself with a childish smile and an excuse about how she wouldn't be able to get along without him for more than five minutes. He had never been to Toronto, but the real reason for his self-invitation wa...
THURSDAY EVENING DINNER I harangued my wife, Amy, "I've gotta get that promotion to vice president. With the VP bonuses we would move from the ranks of the rich to the truly wealthy. All kind of corporate perks come with a VP position in our company." We were enjoying a lovely dinner of Dover Sole and an expensive bottle of French White Burgundy at our favo...
Trying hard to not look disgusted I get off the plane, this airport is full of business travelers who have not actually showered recently. Wishing they had let me learn more French I make my way through the airport to my luggage. My one bag in hand I move on to the admittance to France, slightly nervous they had only handed me the new passport when I was boa...
