This story is submitted as part of the "One Night in XXX" story event—a collection of stories that all take place in a single night in a specific place. "You're going to kill us both, Zhang," I told the cabbie in his native Mandarin as he whipped across two lanes to pass a Maserati on Al Asayel Street. "You don't want to die all alone, do you?" Zhang asked...
Ryan had finally chosen between Emma and Claire. He picked Claire, however they had allowed each other to fuck other people as long as they didn't try to make a commitment with someone else. Although they had texted and talked a lot since he finally asked her out the previous week, this would be Ryan's first official date with Claire. In case you missed prev...
This is my true story. I never would have imagined that this would happen to me; not even in a billion years, and under no circumstances. I am a middle aged man of bad physical appearance. I am at least thirty-five pounds overweight and very uninteresting! I might have been pleasant looking about twenty years ago but now I am a shadow of what I once was. I...
This is the beginning of a series written as a follow-up to my story Parts of Desire. I believe the new chapters will work collectively as a standalone, though they'll make more sense if you read the original story (now Chapter 1) first. Thanks to Ravenna933 for serving as my editor. Every one of her suggestions made this story stronger. * I felt the g-f...

I feel that I have finally arrived at the right place with this chapter after ten very long months of discussion, reading, researching, and writing. This chapter begins with a minor character who I introduced at the very end of Chapter 03. I would like to thank my editor. In the last few months, she has been a great help in the editing process and a sounding...
Having breakfast with a rival assassin turned out to be much more cordial than I would have expected. In fact, I'd even describe it as pleasant. Not a single bullet fired, not a single drop of blood shed. I have a theory for this-- bacon brings people together. Even people who are paid to kill other people. We made quite the pair, two contract killers shar...
I'm sorry this chapter took on a life of its own and I'm only half way through the Dubai adventures. I believe I've achieved my ultimate goal - I am a Dirty Old Man! This is the 15th chapter in this series - I strongly recommend you to read the previous chapters in order before this one, it's not going to make a lot of sense otherwise. I can't thank Rom...
