Grey sat in a chair in her bank. Robert was beside her, making small talk with the account representative. She was in the process of passing the Tenth Gate, giving him visibility into - and limited signing authority over - her finances. She was trying to fight an uneasy feeling about the whole thing. In truth, the Gates had always made her anxious to some...
This is chapter five of How I fell in love. Please read the earlier chapters before reading this. I am also aware that this one has lot of loop holes that I intend to fix in the next chapter. All feedback and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you for reading! ***** I rubbed my eyes lazily as I walked out of the bedroom in need of water to quench my pa...
I was doing a solo ride across the country on my new BMW motorcycle. I left my house just ten months after my wife had passed away from cervical cancer. I was going crazy just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Twenty two years together and we really only started to live the last eighteen months of her life. Jan reminded me what it was that attracted m...
Candace screamed in fear, struggling wildly against the large muscular frame that she was held tight against. But, try as she might, it was like fighting to be free from steel bands. A cold cruel laugh sounded over her head and she was thrown against the wall of the bathroom, one hand tearing her robe open. "Tomas," she screamed desperately, trying to crawl...
With a click, the TV turns off. I'm holding my wife's hand, just lounging in bed after a long day at work for me, and an even longer day of work and taking care of the family for her. I was feeling pretty good next to this gorgeous woman. This has become our evening routine: dinner, homework, kids to bed, and a nightly tv show. It's nice. It works. It's easy...

My first semester at university was going great. I was doing well in my classes, had made a few friends on campus and was living rent-free as a part-time nanny for just about the sexiest man I could imagine. I was one smitten kitten and I adored the way Bill, my employer and my lover, enjoyed being in my company, enjoyed hearing me share my thoughts and stor...
I woke Sunday morning, tired, and with burning eyes. I wasn't hungover from my graduation party the previous night, but my eyes were betraying me as if I had been. I rubbed them a bit and tried to open them again but still felt as if someone had rubbed in fiberglass. I laid back in the bed and thought about the previous night. I was upset that the my best fe...
The early morning fog hung low to the ground, like a misty blanket, and the breaking dawn cast long shadows, as we headed into the sun. The landscape consisted of sparse vegetation and sporadic groups of trees and rolling hills. We flew close to the deck as possible, trying to use the element of surprise. This wasn't like many of our search-and-destroy miss...
"More firdrakh tea, sir?" Desirée held out the strangely shaped teapot, smiling at the large, octopus-like alien that would eventually rape her. "Yes, I would love some more," Tal Jin replied from the divan opposite her, holding out his porcelain cup for her to refill. "And please, Guild Courtesan Tanner, call me Jin." "Of course, Jin." She was very caref...
