Prologue Darla Padgett cried as she thought about all that pain that she had been through, and to her, as a shooting star went across the sky she whispered to herself, "even the stars were passing judgment on me." In the cemetery, near Eddie's grave, and hours before the train to Montreal was scheduled to leave and take her away forever, young Darla lay in...
"Are you sure about that?" Neil asked as he drove down the interstate, glancing at the directions one more time. Ann shrugged in response. "I'm only going by what it said, baby. And if I'm wrong, who cares? It's not like they aren't going to let us in." "I'm not saying that. I just don't want to draw any attention to us, that's all." "I don't think that's...
"Cherry Tart" is a follow up story to my first submission, "Calamine." So, if you haven't read that one yet, please do! There's a good amount of character development and detail in this, so it takes a bit to get to the steamy parts...but the hot stuff does come. I promise ;) Also, this story is set in Mississippi during the mid-1970's, so you'll notice all t...
Do you smell that?" Malcolm asked suddenly waking, and sitting up in bed. "Smell what?" Sabella asked sleepily turning over moving closer to him. "Like there's something burning?" "I don't think so," Sabella replied becoming a little more alert. "Take a whiff of the air," Malcolm said inhaling deeply himself. Sabella sat up and inhaled deeply. When she...
Wake up Zach. Fluttering eyelids inform Zach Pedigo of an early morning. His skylight filtering in daylight was a pretty good clue, yet not the only one. Hearing the sounds of running water assisted him in the comprehension that he was not alone in his once referred to bachelor pad. Not being accustomed to having roommates, he swallowed hard at the future....
I spotted Donna across the restaurant and headed in her direction. We were meeting for our regular Sunday brunch. It's going on five years that we've been meeting Sundays at eleven in the morning for food, Bloody Marys, and a full plate of girl talk and gossip. I was not prepared to have this meal lead to an exotic journey that I never even thought possible....
Author's Note: This is a sequel to "A Week On The Lake" and "Snowed In." A few of the characters in this story appear in the "Lucky Cable Guy" stories also. Readers of my previous stories will already be aware that sometimes my group sex scenes involve guys messing around with each other, "so if that doesn't seem like your particular brand of vodka, help you...
Notes: This is the first part of a five part series called SUMMER SINS. Each part will have 'Purple' in the title. It takes place three weeks after the 'Green' stories of Summer Secrets. You don't necessarily need to read Blue or Green to enjoy Purple, though if you do enjoy it, you might want to go back to the beginning. If this story seems familiar to y...
This challenge was to write about women and power. IMHO there's no better place to set such a tale than Sodom and Gomorrah on the Potomac. Only the names have been changed here, to protect the (as yet) unindicted. Thanks to my buddy RichardGerald for the legal advice and my good friends at Split-Infinitives for the opportunity - particularly the amazing Mr....
Bethany didn't write this story and that is the greatest tragedy of all. She'd earned a scholarship to UCLA for journalism and poetry, and the one short story she allowed me to read struck me as sensual, razor-sharp and pure genius. It was frighteningly angry, but also vulnerably deep. If she wrote the story you're reading now it would've been a work of art...
