The driving, intense rain started to subside and the raging waves were a bit calmer. I wasn't sure if this was the beginning of the end of the storm or just an interlude. All of the electronics on the boat were knocked out by the ferocious storm but I managed to keep the nose of the boat pointed to the south and the west thanks to the good old fashioned mari...
Mavis Beacon sauntered into the senior partner's office, closed the door behind her, and perched her well-toned derriere on the top of his desk. "Good morning, Mr. Cornwall." "Good morning, Ms. Beacon, and how is my office manager this day besides the usual gorgeous and delectable?" "Quite fine, Mr. Cornwall. Thank-you for asking. I think you ought to kno...
Azalea took Dakota's advice and took the rest of the night off to prepare for their trip, and to recover, as much mentally as physically, from that night's ordeal. Dakota had not only offered to cover for her shift, but handled the employees who had gathered around the locked practice room door and came up with some story to explain what those screams had be...
"Are you ready?" Dakota asked once their campsite was set up. "I guess. Shall we go back up there?" "Do we need to? Why not right here? I don't want to have to try to figure out how to get down those stone steps when we're stuck tit to tit. They're steep. It might be dangerous." "Yeah. Good point. So... right here?" "I guess." "Now?" "Unless you're not...
Iggy - Fantasy Island ----- Ned's flight touched down on a small island in the South Pacific. The corporate jet was just able to use the short runway. It was the closest airport to his destination. A female skycap led him to the docks nearby. A motor launch was waiting to take him to the exclusive island just visible on the horizon. The coral atoll had be...
Azalea Ortega was what they called a polymath. Any endeavor she undertook, she mastered quickly, and she undertook much. No doubt she would have made a fine doctor or lawyer, and wealth was all well and good, but there were lots of ways to come by wealth, and she was a woman of simple needs. Or, at least her material needs were simple. She wanted excitement,...
My name is Gabriel. I work at a small sales company. One Friday afternoon, shortly before closing, I listened to my workmates comment among them: "What are we going to do tonight?" Ignacio and Emily, the hottest couple at the company, suggested: "Let's go to Destiny'!" The guys welcomed the idea, because this is a very trendy club or disco in the city. P...
Mrs. Bellamy stomped up the grey moss-covered steps to her long-awaited house. She couldn't help but stare inside the full window that displayed the entire kitchen. It was like a cheap whore with her legs wide open for anyone to enter inside her loose walls. "That'll be a neat view." Goldie made her way to the blue door; she hesitated, hand hovering over the...
Carmen heard, around the blindfold, the garage door close behind them and shivered in anticipation. The car door opened and she turned to get out. Strong arms pulled her from the back seat and lifted her up. For a moment she was afraid he would carry her across his chest, like a bride over the threshold but instead he tossed her over his shoulder and carried...
I was back in L.A and on my way to meet Ariana for lunch. The trip to Vancouver had been very productive and a lot of fun. But it was always nice to be home. I pulled up to the restaurant and left my car with the valet. The hostess led me to a table where Ariana was already waiting. She broke out in a large smile when she saw me and stood up to give me a hug...
