The blanket sat on the ground nestled between two willow trees in the back of the family graveyard where one could be alone with their thoughts should one need or want to be. Life at the asylum was usually quiet, as they rarely had visitors with exception of those who wandered onto the property. Lia rose early on Thursday morning, sitting up in bed her gaz...
"NO!" Lia snatched the vase off the shelf and threw it. The intruder ducked. The ceramic shattered against the wall. He grinned at her, holding long sharp blades in both hands. She bolted, trying to get to the gun in her nightstand. The man blocked her path. Shit. She jumped backwards into the kitchen, an easy hop in her tiny studio apartment. Lia ya...
-1- "Happy Birthday honey," she said as he let the door swing shut behind him. "You're just in time." Jack had been so caught up with work lately he hadn't even remembered that today was his 39th birthday. It was a bitch of a drive home, as it always was on Friday evenings. This Friday was particularly bad. Sitting in traffic for over an hour and a half ha...
Lia pushed a thin strand of her dark brown hair behind her ear, twirled the end between her thumb and forefinger for a moment, then let her hair fall. "You're beautiful." The stocky man approached from her left side and she barely got a look at him before he arranged himself behind her chair and placed his large hands on her shoulders. Lia shrugged off the...

Submissively, Barbie Realizing that his tortured loveslut was about to faint, Lord Basil quickly took Tiara Tara in his arms and lifted her naked body with ease, carrying her down the marble stairway to the G...
Lia wakes against the still dark morning and heavy hotel drape shadows and wraps herself in the sheet, tighter against him. Aidan sleeps; she can tell by his deep, even breath punctuated with light fluttery snores. Still, though, as she circles herself in white Egyptian cotton and his skin, settles her head into the hollow beneath his right arm, he mumbles "...
This was an interesting bit to write. I mean, I created the arena that I wanted in the island and I put these two on it at a time of year and in circumstances that would pretty much guarantee that they could hunt in a natural state for them. I even gave them wind and rustling fall leaves to make it different. But until I got them here in this arena, I wasn'...
Lia Biology had never been my best subject. I had been passable at it in high school, it certainly interested me more than physics or earth science, but it wasn't the easy A that most of my classes had been. Of course I had put off the science requirement — so minimal in my liberal arts college and yet I dreaded it enough to leave it to my junior year. Even...
Venice in August By Denham Forrest, The Wanderer My thanks go to PapaGus and Deryk for assisting me in preparing this story for posting. Venice in August I'd wandered away from the cathedral entrance, wondering what the hell I was doing there anyway.
