Fashion is Our Name - Part 8 - Tense Meetings in London After a busy weekend, we were up in the dark, in a hard rain, with clouds to the ground. Anne and Helen dressed the twins in their warm clothes and had retrieved small size raincoats. The first wave for London, including me, was departing on the 8:40 train and had no time to lose. The others would foll...
A Halloween Costume Contest and a chance meeting with a mysterious Asian businessman awaken a new side to Anna, a pretty blond 30-something with a wild streak in a small Iowa town. * Ringgggg. It's...his phone. It's him. "Yes, sir?" I respond, my voice soft, "You...need me?" "Indeed, bui," the deep, lightly-accented voice answered back, "I need you. Plea...
Chapter 12: Sex, Love, and Money I look back on it and think how interesting it is that certain small minor events in life, a traffic light is green instead of red or a decision to stop and admire a dress in the window of a store, can have profound effects on life's outcomes. I believe there is a principle in science called 'The Butterfly Effect' where a sm...
The first thing to say is that this story is called 'How I...' not 'Why I...'. The why is not a long story, I did for the adventure. At the time I had just hit 30. I had a good job in an office but there wasn't much chance of promotion. I was single and loving it, I went on dates and did have sexual relationships but nothing long term. That isn't to say that...
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! I rapped on the door. Hearing the hand on the other side of the door, fumbling with the lock, I took a deep breath and steeled myself for what was coming. "Justin!" I said a little more breathlessly than I meant as the door opened. "Danielle! You changed your mind!" he greeted me with surprise. "Come in, Please!" "I can't." I ans...
Authors Note: Yes every now and then there is a chapter that comes along that might be boring but needed. This one fits that category well as you will find out in the coming chapters. I have the story complete but have been meticuously going through the story and fixing the noted comments from Chapter one. I hope I have done that to every ones satisfaction....
Chapter 9: The Calm ***** This chapter is done, thanks to my editors on Lit: secretsxywriter and Goddesss_of_Sunshine, as well as a couple of my RL friends! It was so long that it got split up into two parts (Chapter 9a and 9b... but that looks clunky, so just 9 and 10, now) No content warning this time. Regular smut is regular :3 Enjoy, and as always, c...
In the backwaters of the Milky Way galaxy, there's resides, or rather resided, a small blue-green planet whose inhabitants were so amazingly primitive that they still relied on their external genitalia for sexual satiation. This created no end of problems for them. Around half the members of the dominant species of the planet found that they couldn't have n...
Freedom Summer, they called it, the summer when three civil rights workers were murdered by a mob of Ku Klux Klansmen. It was the summer after The Beatles splashed on to the American cultural scene and the summer of the '64 New York World's Fair. It was the summer when Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, and and the summer before Lyndon Johnson's...
During the course of this story reference is made to a play written a few years ago by one Wm. Shakespeare Esq. In fact the perceptive reader will recognise some aspects of the storyline have been 'borrowed' from that work. I make no apology for that, for it might be said; 'if the wheel ain't broke, why build a new one.' I am not the first, and indeed will n...
