Author's note: I didn't intentionally leave you guys hanging...sorry about that. Crazy work hours couldn't be helped, I'm afraid. I think it will be a few more days before I can post the conclusion to this story. I'll work on it as quickly as I can. Please overlook any mistakes. Sleep deprivation makes proofreading difficult...:-) * On the morning of Decem...
Copyright of Nanna Marker 2010. * "Fine," snarled Kokata, and turned away from the butcher and the busybody Hinea. Too much meat. Too early in the season for smoking more meat. Too early to dry meat.

'Hi Beautiful,' said Fred as he ran a finger across her cheek before cupping her face and claiming her mouth for a hot scorching kiss. 'Come on, in,' said Samantha as she regained her breath and opened the door wide enough, to let Fred in. Fred cl...
Kira was having a discussion with Dan, Rajeev and several friends in her office in the hotel headquarters. The decoration was lush and monacal at the same time : a large desk with several armchairs for the visitors, lights kira could modify by passing her finger on a computer screen, a wall covered with plants mainly from India and a small pond at its base g...

Dear Reader: This is Faith speaking. If you read the first installment, you know what has happened. Now, if you would like to know how it happened, I'll tell you. If you don't care how it happened, you can stop reading right here. There is a steady stream of tears flowing down my face as I clutch the worn envelope with the Love stamp framed by a 'U' and...
It has been a crazy two years since I first let our paperboy have sex with me and I suppose that a church-going, middle-aged wife like me should be at least a little bit bothered by it but it's just not happening yet.
