Hi folks. Last week's story drummed up a lot of controversy. That can be fun sometimes and I love hearing your opinions on stories. We all have differing views on what is and isn't morally acceptable. And it's good to have a forum to air our opinions. This week's story is shorter and more fun. I hope you enjoy the lighter tone. Next week's story will of cour...
** Author's note. This is part of a series, and I recommend you read the previous parts first. Also, I know some of this may not seem like romance, but it is also a coming of age story, with some experimentation and personal exploration. The love between Moira and Craig is the central focus of the story, but part of that story involves both of them learning...
By now I hope you've all realized I had this story finished. I'm sorry for the panic I caused. I should have phrased my earlier disclaimer a little differently, as in: This is my last completed story for a while. :) Surely you know me well enough by now to know that I'd never start posting something that's incomplete. Ah well. Here's the ending of Hayden an...
Chapter 5 The sun was bright and it was already searing hot as Ryan drove his car onto the parking lot at AquaSpa Pools. The air conditioning in his car had long ago ceased to work and he could feel sweat pouring down the back of his tank top. The parking lot was filled with cars so Ryan drove around back to the loading dock. As he parked and got out, he sa...
He heard the scream from 50 feet away but didn't see what happened. His three-year old son came running across the grass from the slide holding his eye and wailing like a Banshee. He stood up holding his six-month old daughter in anticipation as he screamed, "She kicked me in the eye!" pointing a little girl running up behind him. As the boy wrapped his arm...
**** -- CHAPTER 7: Montauk II -- **** *-- JULY, MARSEILLE, FRANCE --* Gingerly, I lay back against the plush pillows of the king-sized bed, getting myself comfortable before extending my right arm out into a curve, creating an inviting spot for Cassandra to recline against me. She accepted, pillowing her head against my chest before reaching back to pull...
With the light shining into my bedroom, I'm up before my alarm goes off. I didn't sleep well last night, my mind thinking about everything I have to do today. I yawn and stretch out, then lay on the bed like a starfish. This is the day I've been waiting for since I became Ashley (well, the day I eventually started waiting for). The first day of the rest of m...
Chapter 1 Liz buried her head under a pillow and groaned. The slamming of the front door had startled her from a sweet dream and a quick glance at her alarm told her that Todd was the culprit. The red glaring numbers read 1 a.m., which meant he had gone out to celebrate the end of mid terms and from the sounds of it, he had company. The thin walls of their...
*** -- CHAPTER 2: Architectural Connections -- *** *MONDAY* "Good morning, boss." I looked up from my computer. "Good morning, Melody," I answered easily. My eyes flitted to the clock. She was right on time for a Monday morning. "Coffee? Your usual?" "Thanks, that would be great." I relaxed into my chair as the pretty blonde nodded and headed out. May...
