To my beloved son, I can't believe what happen last night! I feel so guilty because of it but at the same time I feel like I need more. Last night we shared the kind of love and appreciation I haven't felt in so many years. Oh, you've certainly grown! I can still remember when I was always out of breath trying to keep up with your youthful exploits. Now yo...
Light shone off the gleaming black skin of the ship. Over three miles long, it had been one of a new race of living A.I. ships engineered to guard the vast Imperial boundary territory. For eight hundred years the small fleet of fast, sleek ships protected the empire. Many enemies had perished attempting to enter and take the empire. Though the fleet slowly d...
I remember waking up, my eyes opening slowly and the light from the window hurting my eyes, my hand instinctively rising to block some of the glare. I was laid on the bed with my feet on the floor, my head hurt and I was shirtless for some reason, the shirt from the night before hung on a hangar perched on my wardrobe opposite. I sat up causing dizziness an...
Chapter 13 Praise at last. After breakfast I got a phone call from Mark, he was very excited about the 'performance', as he called it, last night. 'You are going to need a bonus for all the money you must have spent on clothes,' he laughed. 'Do you fancy meeting for a coffee today or tomorrow. No problem if you are busy but I have got a couple of things...
James awoke with a start, recoiling as the pain of one shot too many struck him in the temple. He groaned as he lightly rested his head back on his pillow. He was drenched in sweat. 'What the hell happened last night?' Slowly, he began piecing the events of the evening together. Meeting the guys at the bar, shot overload, getting to the club. All seemed wel...
ON THE GENTLE HUNGER AND SLOW SEDUCTION OF JASMINE PILCHER (If you haven't read chapters 1 and 2, you might want to look them over first. . . .) The first thing I heard the next morning was the radio in the kitchen talking about a winter storm and the gentle sound of Jasmine Pilcher singing a church hymn – and a crackling. Not coffee this time but – I snif...
The next morning, I was downstairs cooking breakfast for Riley and I. I figured after a night like last night he'd need some food to regain his strength. He came down the stairs barefoot in his jeans following the scent of eggs, bacon, toast and hot coffee. "Buenos dias tiger!" I said to him cheerfully,"I thought maybe we could talk about last night over b...
Welcome to Chapter 2. Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. In this chapter, I'm setting the story a bit more. Again, I would appreciate your reviews/comments/suggestions. ***** I woke up the next morning with a splitting head ache and really dry mouth. "What did I do last night?" I found myself thinking, and while thinking through my night, was fill...
Chapter 2. The Morning After the Night Before... It was late when Katie finally stirred from her sleep. The room was warm, the sun shining in through the thin drapes. She hadn't slept so contentedly for a long time. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light. A moment of slight confusion passed quickly as it dawned on Katie where she was. The effect...
Had he said that? Had he really told Alexis that he loved her? He sure as hell hoped not. It wasn't that he had told her to get her into bed or anything. She was looking at him with that never-ending helplessness on her face and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to see her smile. They were the first words that popped into his head. Hell if he knew if he was i...
