LXXIIIvory Towers Alex2034 It was several weeks since Alex had last travelled outside of London. As always the exorbitant cost was covered by business expenses, although this time there was no flight across the Atlantic or toward the Far East. A train ride north from Paddington to the University City of Oxford, even first class, wasn't quite the work junket...
Gentle reader: I do hope my introduction last time met with your approval. I realise, of course, this may not be the case at all. "All this spunky nonsense is nothing more than stuff and nonsense", you may have scoffed, and proceeded to find something much more entertaining to read or do. If so, all I can do is proffer my most sincere apologies from the very...
*********Thank you to everyone who commented on the last chapter. A huge thank you to my editor and his cane. (Garden centres can be dangerous places.) Sadly confiscating his crop did not have the desired effect. This is the 4th chapter in a series and can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the previous chapters first. It will make far more s...
Ailsa The British tax system got really hostile to free-lance computer dudes, like myself, so I went contracting in Amsterdam doing disaster recovery. We made sure that people's computer systems didn't go down, or if they did, it didn't lose too much information or money, and sink the company. There's a bit more to it than than but suffice to say, in crossi...
Pearl turned and admired herself in the mirror. Pearl's curves were wrapped in a crotchless nylon body suit, halter neck heaving under the weight of her more than ample bosom. Over this, she wore a suspenders holding up fishnet stockings. Pearl smiled at the way her round butt was framed so nicely by black mesh. She adjusted herself inside the suit, nipples...
- Do you think that I want this? said Mike. Do you really think I'm ENJOYING the idea of spending our first Christmas together, as husband and wife, away from you? Belinda knew that Mike didn't like being forced by hiss boss to leave town on a business trip anymore than she did; but she was hurt and disappointed and didn't feel like being supportive. - Dar...
A quick warning to the reader - I'm English, so I've used English spelling for this one. The moons were just rising in the Summer sky, Clotho almost full, Atropos gibbous, Lachesis still below the horizon, the evening light blueing the sunset red and gold. When Jack Palin took him aside, Toby wondered for a moment what it was about, until Jack took the prin...
Not four. Five. Five Westron regiments joined our enormous camp. Tallia had her hands full providing for all these soldiers. Meat for the Westrons was difficult enough, but she also had to provide for the omnivorous Penchens. Fortunately, she had experience with her father - and with me. Langoret did yeoman’s work as well, getting the new troopers settled...
"I've never known anyone so uncoordinated in all my life." Evan laughed as he gripped the handle on the top of Zoe's backpack. "You're hopeless," he said, dragging her none-too-gently onto the granite boulder where he'd spent the last five minutes waiting for her. "Oh, fuck off." Zoe gained her footing and shoved his hand off her, annoyed by the way everyt...
The hot Pacific sun beats down on your trim, tan body as you lie in a bikini on the beach. Next to you, Christina takes a sip from a cocktail and turns the page of the book she's reading. "It could be worse, Ally. Your father could have dragged you off somewhere truly awful, like Alaska. Or New Jersey." You don't give in to Christina's good humour....
