The next couple of days were still busy, but were much more calm. Zophia had her basic questions answered for John. One of the first things I spoke to Zophia about was where she wanted to live when she returned to Chicago. I told her that this week was so new, so fresh, so quick for us. Did we really want to move in together so soon? We took a slew of chance...
Before I begin to tell this tale let me tell you a little bit about myself. At the time this happened I was twenty-two years old. I was attending a University in South Orange NJ, though I won't say which one in case of copyright infringement or some bullshit. I was working on my criminal justice degree and was in the process of applying to the County Police...
Chapter 01: Samantha I sat at my desk holding this letter; the more I read it, the more I knew that it was going to change my life, as I knew it. I am 38 going on 42 (I look 38 even though I am 42.) I've never married and have been working since I was 17. I worked all through college. Now part of the reason I never had many dates I hate to admit this but fa...
Part 1, the Loss Laura's view My discussion with Kathy was over. As far I as I was concerned the decision was made. I was out. Totally out. The account, the profile, the e-mails, the fake ID, and all traces of my involvement with this whole damn thing would be closed and/or deleted within the hour. We agreed that it would never be discussed ever again, a...
I must admit, even after all of this, Jamie Belmonte is the one girl at this school that I'd really like to get my hands on. It's been that way since the first time I saw her last year. She's a beautiful girl in a hot kind of way, tall, blonde and athletic. What is there not to like about her? I'm not saying I want to marry the girl because I'm not sure what...

... continuing from the previous chapters ... Chapter 27 Road Trip - Idaho My Army buddy, Craig Olson, welcomed me to his home in Coeur d'Alene with a big hug and much backslapping. I had contacted him weeks earlier about visiting and emailed him with updates about my travel and arrival dates. I called ahead from Montana to let him know I'd be arriving ar...

Evelyn entered the hallway of the unassuming council house semi, just down the street opposite from her house. By contrast, hers was a large five bedroom detached neo-Georgian affair - as befitted the wife of a well paid solicitor. At the urging of her husband, they had both joined the group a few weeks earlier. The rules were simple. Each member couple coul...
Annabel was feeling hungry. It was half past twelve and it was time. Mr. Crawford would be in his sitting room now, the family all having sat down to their own luncheon. It was time for the servants to take their ease, and Annabel finished folding her lady's underthings. The last bit of lace squared away, Annabel found herself rushing down the back stairs to...
