Sally worked for my parents as domestic help. I always found myself drawn to her. She was unusually tall at an even 6 feet. Her features were quite attractive but she always dressed in plain clothes with no makeup with her hair tied in a severe bun. Did I mention that Sally also belonged to my parents? She was a robot, which were common domestic companions i...
((Previously, in the Adventures of The Hellcat. Intrepid college newspaper reporter, Maggie Malone, is sent by her editor to look into disappearances in an area known as Hooker Park. While stumbling through the woods in the dead of night, she's captured by strange men, whom plan to use her as a human sacrifice! Maggie blacked out just as the dagger plummeted...
Chapter Ten Someone familiar was walking under the awning towards me. It took a moment but I realized it was Valerius, the Roman I'd seen when Alessandra took me back through centuries to the accord. He still looked like he was thirty, but his hair wasn't brutally short, and he wore jeans and an open Hawaiian shirt. I stopped and stared as did he. "You ha...
As always, thanks to sdbnnc for all her hard work. I didn't bother to change when I woke up. Tony and I went for a run most mornings before breakfast, and there was something wonderfully free about bouncing out of bed and straight out the door without having to think about clothes or where I'd kicked my trainers off last night. I ran downstairs and outsi...
NB: Thank you to those of you who have sent me really supportive emails and feedback regarding TLAW. It has really helped me to pursue this next chapter [and maybe the next?]. Do readers like happy endings? I'm thinking of making a character die as an ending but you guys might slaughter me for that! Anyway, I did not send this chapter for editing as I want...
Chris sat down and looked over the map carefully, mindful of the hot glare the hot blonde was stabbing him with the whole time. Lana sat beside Alexis and looked more dismayed then upset. Easy for her, she hadn't been in charge of the map. Alexis frowned, "Well?" "Well, I can safely say we are not lost." The Knight raised a brow, "Not lost? What do you ca...
"Could you have possibly chosen a hotter place to land, baby?" Cruz asked. He was the second person out of the ship, right behind the captain, and already he was frowning at the hot and heavy moisture in the air. "Will you pardon me, while I go back inside for my suntan lotion?" Thor ignored the comments, as he was double-checking the air quality with a han...
"Do you like him?" Phoebe looked over at Anna, her eyebrow raised, as she lifted a forkful of salad to her mouth. "I don't know. Yes. I — he's a good guy, Pheeb, but every time we're in the bedroom, he's so distant." Anna stared at her plate, poking at the pasta. Phoebe shrugged. "You know I can help." "I don't think I want your help." "Are you sure?...
Chapter 9 Two years earlier... "I don't know why you don't go to Presentation ceremonies," Renny said. "You've got the body for it, and you've taken all the same classes as the concubines, except for the secret ones." Treya laughed at her roommate. "They're not exactly a secret since you immediately come back and tell me all about them." "I can't help it...
Edited by: oldfart and 2muchdiggity --- 'Let her in, Kal,' came the thought from Kuto. "Why the hell would I do that?" said Kal aloud. The last few minutes he had been talking the frozen harpy through the more panic-inducing parts of her stasis, such as no longer breathing or having a heartbeat. The bird-girl's hysteria faded quickly as the mage shared im...
