Hannah felt a thrill of excitement the evening when her pager displayed a message asking her to drop into the Prime Minister's office. In her time in Parliament she'd worked diligently for the Party, always voting and speaking on-message, asking incisive questions as a committee member, making occasional appearances on serious TV shows, but not enough to be...
Chapter 1 - The Noblest Antiquarian Bookstore Jane Prynn sat stroking a first edition Hemingway. She opened the book, spread the pages, and ran her fingertips across the cream colored paper. Absorbing the print through her touch, the scene in the paragraph began to emerge in her mind. She could smell the acacia blossoms, taste dry dirt on her lips and he...
The train moved slowly out of Haslemere station gaining momentum as we headed towards Portsmouth. I had been joined by India and China, the daughters of my good friends. They attended school in the Haslemere area and this was them returning for the weekend. They’d bounded towards me, both still in uniform and hugged me with girlish enthusiasm. I hadn’t seen...
I'm standing beside her bed. I could watch her sleep for hours, but she has things to do today and it's already past seven. I grip her shoulder and gently shake it. "Mph." she rolls her shoulders and looks up at me and smiles. My world lights up. "Good morning dear. How may I serve you?" She takes my bound wrists and kisses my hand. "You're my Darling lit...
It was now a couple of years since my first and only meet with a tgirl. I met an Asian woman a few years ago and I was very much in control, she sucked me, I rimmed, fucked her and I promptly left. Being a straight guy I felt kind of weird about the experience and decided it would best be a one time thing, something to tick off and I forgot about it for a wh...
I had seen Caroline around campus before and occasionally out at the bars at night. She was a total knockout, a red-haired beauty with big brown eyes that would melt you if you stared at them too long. There was something about her that looked so vulnerable, so innocent. She had a cute little nose, just slightly dotted with freckles, high cheek bones, bea...
It was a clear evening, the light cloud of earlier in the day had gone and now the stars were clear and crisp in the dark sky. The couples up at Lover's Point were treated to what they took to be a shooting star then thought no more of it. Had they cared to watch it longer they would have seen that it suddenly changed direction just before ground level and m...
I hadn't seen my ex-wife for nearly two years. Not since we sat together on a low concrete wall outside the courthouse after the divorce proceedings. Even then I hoped things could be turned around, a miracle performed, that her heart could be turned back towards me. Now I see how foolish I must have seemed to her. I see how my timid accommodations and surre...
"Call me later, if you are not too busy. I have something I want to ask you," she said as we ended another long telephone conversation. It had become a routine over the last few weeks especially with all the project related issues that we had to discuss. "Sure." I said, with the affirmation that she liked. She knew I would have kept my promise and it was o...
The house is darkly lit as he steps out of his car. A blue light over the door illuminates the number so he need not question that this is the right place. He pauses unsure if this door is to be entered now. Reading the slip of paper once again, he owns his desires and walks into his new life. Or so he hopes. He rationalizes that this is only for fun, no...
