I teach at a small university in the Midwest, in a small town, the usual place where gossip spreads faster than the common cold. Those of you who live in one know exactly what I mean. My department moved into our new building after a year of construction and got two new secretaries about the same time. Our secretaries used to be spread all over the building,...
Hey Everyone! Sorry that this took a while, I just wanted to try other projects. Speaking of which, this is going to be the last one in the series, just because I want to put a period on it for a while. Maybe I'll work on it again someday, but no time soon. So since this is the last one, I'm gonna try and go ham on this one. Sorry if this news is disappointi...
(A sequel to my previous Amazon Airship Pirates series, as promised, and another exercise in steampunk erotica. Well, I try to set the steampunk up properly before moving onto the erotica part – but we get there eventually.) "So, cadet," said Sergeant Tarani, "what is your assessment of yonder craft?" Emma Elphinstone squinted in the direction indicated...
When you get a divorce, things can get awkward with your mutual friends. When you get an ugly divorce, things can get very awkward. And when you get a divorce where your wife runs off with the handyman, well, it can be very, very awkward. So when I, the victim of the very, very awkward scenario, got a call from our mutual friend Joe, I feared it would be aw...
Stevie sat in the rear of Mrs Lanbourne's four door hardtop Sedan de Ville as it sped north on the interstate. The interior of the new 1956 Cadillac smelt antiseptic and nice. She had just bought it. Mrs Lanbourne was like that, this elegant lady with her long nose and lambent brown eyes: everything was the best. Stevie thought of her these days as his real...
After a day of meetings, I arrived in the office late afternoon and had barely sat down at my desk when Dione, my chief financial officer walked in and closed the door behind her. That immediately set off alarm bells. I don't hide things from my employees, many of whom have worked for me for a long time, so I rarely have closed-door meetings. When Dione sat...
Monday morning and Harry was awakened by the sun shining in his eyes through his bedroom window; He had been so shattered when he arrived home the previous evening it was all he could do to climb the stairs, drop his clothes where he stood and fall into bed. All he had covering him was a thin sheet, proving that it had been a mild night. He staggered out of...
When I woke up the next morning, Bela's side of the bed was empty. I got up and went to the kitchen and saw her dressed in a sari. Which was a surprise, since she had pretty much stopped wearing any clothes around the house recently. I went close to her and hugged her and kissed her. She kissed me back very cursorily, and her face looked worn down with worry...
**Hey guys. I apologize for taking so long to update. I've had a lot going on, so I haven't been writing as much as I should have. I submitted Chapter 7 at the same time as this one, so it should be posted within the next day. Thanks for your continued interest, and I hope you'll find both this, and Chapter 7 to your liking. Thank you for reading!** At j...
XIII. So back into the fray he plunged, virtually abandoning his business and his job. Jenn was working most days so he could basically spend the whole of every weekday, from nine to five at The Club. But days unavoidably dragged on into nights and before too long Matt was almost regularly 'out prowling again', as Jenn put it. He knew it worried her; he inc...
