Kirsty stared around the room. The Christmas tree that was a safe distance from the roaring fireplace had turned out magnificent in the end. Petrine had insisted that they all help decorate it on Thanksgiving. That had come as a bit of a surprise to Kirsty, but it seemed that her mother-in-law retained far more than simply her accent. She kept several of her...
Sitting on my porch on a warm spring day, smelling the lilacs and lavender while savoring the taste of cold lemonade in my mouth, it was hard to get my head around the idea that anyone would want to live life differently than this. But, of course, people do, they do it all the time. And at least a few of them knowingly trade the promise of this away for some...
I actually laughed at that point. "As far as I'm concerned, there's no marriage to fight for. Understand this, Theresa, the marriage is over and there are no choices or negotiations anymore. Please be sure to make that clear to Megan, because, frankly, I don't really want to talk to her any more than I have to." Theresa looked stunned as I slowly closed the...
When Cassia woke up, she heard the familiar sounds of Kyle's video game. She rolled her head to one side, looking for Dylan and frowned when she didn't see him in bed. She sat up, her eyes going to the floor, where she remembered him tossing his clothes the night before. His socks were there, but nothing else. Well, he wouldn't leave without his socks. The...
This story is based on a real-life experience. The names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent. Those of you who know me know that I am an advocate of safe-sex practices. In this particular situation, however, things didn't quite work out that way. Thankfully, my wife and I haven't had to pay the price. We are doing better now at thinking with ou...

My name is Sean Patrick O'Conner, at least that is the name my parents gave me. Back when I was in junior high, I got confused about a question the teacher asked in class, and answered with something that had no connection to the question. One of my so-called buddies hollered out, "Don't pay any attention to him, Miss Trotter, he's just a dumb Mick." He got...
A suspense story that is a little different. Very little sex if that's what you're looking for, so please don't read if you're going to be disappointed. A big 'Thank You' to Estragon for making my story a much better read. Chapter 1 I'm Terry Bell and this is my story. It's funny how lives can be changed so quickly. It all started the day I went on a fishi...
A sequel to "Strawberry's Halloween." "Pick you at up eight then?" "Okay, wonderful." "Love you Strawberry." "Love you too Alan, see you in half an hour." "Mmmm, I can't wait." "Me neither. Bye now." "Bye Strawberry." Alan disconnected. I smiled down at my iPhone. Alan and I were going out tonight. He was taking me out to dinner. To a French Restau...
We had enjoyed a perfect holiday in America, spoiled only by problems with the flight home. An aircraft fault caused a serious delay during which many of the passengers found alternative ways back to the UK and even when a replacement plane was declared available more than three more hours passed before we were allowed to board, just before midnight.
