It was three days later that Cronos finally arranged for Polly and her companions to join him for dinner. Lucy had already warned them. 'Although Cronos looks mild-tempered, he must be obeyed without question and without hesitation. Any sign of disobedience and you will be thrashed ruthlessly. What is more, any sign of ingratitude will also be heavily punis...
You’re Nobody ‘til Somebody Loves You By Paris Waterman Chapter 2 I met the entire family rather formally at dinner. Mrs. Klugman was friendlier; at least I got that impression. I had made it a point to complement her dress, which wasn’t a problem because it was a sensational outfit, and it looked very good on her. She insisted I call her Sheila and not M...
Selina woke up to the sound of giggling again. She languorously stood into a crouch, before turning in a half-circle and curling up again on her makeshift bed again, letting out a soft sigh. Harley and Ivy were at it again. She kept her eyes closed and tried to ignore them. She didn't know Harley that well yet, but she knew about some of her past... acquai...
The text message from Heidi's maid-of-honor was definitely a surprise. I'd only met her a couple of times so I assumed that the sole reason she'd be contacting me would be about something having to do with the wedding. I wasn't even in the wedding, so even that was a stretch, but I figured the best way to determine what was going on would be to call her, as...
Chapter Four Where the Lady Chelsea discovers that perhaps she wasn't quite so lady like after all. Chelsea awoke with a start. She was in a small room with bare walls which she did not recognise and for a moment, was completely startled at waking somewhere other than her usual bedroom. She was used to being woken by her maid very late in the morning, but...
Chapter 5: A Recipe for Sex Gertrude Morgenstern didn't like to go home. The Crestview Memorial Library, with its antique oak tables and tiffany chandeliers was more home to her than the three room flat she rented out in Walpole. Yes, Dandy, her tuxedo cat was there, but as cats went he was about as indifferent as he could get. Oh, he liked to be stroked an...
It was every delivery boy's dream. His shift was ending and his last stop of the night just so happened to be a house full of girls. He'd imagined this scenario in his head too many times to count, but tried to suppress his fantasies as he followed her into the kitchen. She "forgot" to grab the money, she'd said before inviting him in. He knew his role was t...
Jasmine stared at the television, the words and pictures were nothing more than background noise, flashes of light. She hurt, physically and emotionally, stuck between longing and disgust for the way she still yearned for Kiran. Her body missed his touch, her lips cried out for his kisses, her ears strained to hear his voice and her eyes missed seeing his sm...
Alice shifted her weight from one foot to the other. She had been standing in the exact spot, her mark, for what seemed like forever in her mother's four-inch stilettos. Her legs ached but she did not dare move as Nicole did not want her to change position during the multiple takes of her introduction. Alice looked at her reflection, took as deep a breath as...
"Who's he?" Millard pointed to the slight figured guy passing hors d'oeuvres through the crowded party room. "Chester," John responded, screwing up his face. "He's kind of queer." "I'll say. Isn't it a little late to be rushing?" "Oh, he isn't rushing," John paused to take a swig from his beer. "No...Chester was accepted last fall. He just dresses that...
