I like the story The Ties that Bind by Blue88 but felt uneasy at the end that an intelligent educated man could not seem to grasp the implication of mental illness - or maybe it just wasn't happy enough (lol). You should read the original story first as this won't make much sense without it. No sex in this final chapter. Thanks to Blue88 for encouragement to...
I sat on the fence watching Midnight prancing around the corral like the King he was, and rolled another smoke. What had I gotten myself into? Taking a poke with the boss lady, and her cook. That could get a man in real trouble if he wasn't careful. I took a deep drag and let it roll off my tongue, the taste of it lingering like one of Miss Millie's kisses....
Him I just spent the last two weeks straight on a book tour across the country. I was on the bestsellers list and was in high demand for speaking engagements around the country. I am booked for the next month. Which is exciting, but also has kept me away from my girls longer than I wanted to. Luckily I have a very supporting, loving wife, who encourages me...
"Suspended? What do you mean I'm suspended?" Alina said. "I don't have much of a choice. Heck, I think I'm being nice not reporting you two to the police. You got her pregnant for god's sake," Principal Pulcher said. "But I've never been suspended before," Alina tried, knowing it wouldn't work. "My parents are going to freak out," she added, mostly to hers...
Prologue- Eclipse The shove sent him face first into the soldier's back. With his wrist and hands bound, he had no control over his limbs. The soldier stumbled forward and then backhanded him across the jaw. The one who shoved him laughed and hit the back of his head with the hilt of a knife. Pain exploded across his skull and for a moment he thought he wa...
A difficult day The men looked at each other nervously, their flatten noses, scars and physical bulk betrayed the fact they were former Special Forces. They never said whom for, but from their accent people would guess Eastern European. Generally at this point people cared more about the gun pointing at them than to inquire further. Used to working at night...
“M’Lady Elaine, it’s time to leave if we’re to make Barkley Hall by nightfall. The coachman is tending to the horses and will be ready to leave in an hour.” The young woman stirred, then stretched and slowly opened her eyes. “Oh, Millie, why must one wake before the cocks when traveling? This straw tic is hard as a board, and it seems as if I fell asleep o...
Prologue "Emma, what are you talking about?" Lila Hutchins stared at her sister, unable to comprehend what she'd just heard. They were at a Christmas party but Lila barely registered the lights, the decorations, or the songs. Emma's words had blocked everything else out. "Just what I said, Lila. I don't think it will work with the two of us. It's just not....
The months came and gone that Daniel and Amanda had been seeing each other and the next thing they knew it was Christmas time. Snow didn't often fall in LA, actually its very rare that it did, it was a blazing 86 degrees outside and Christmas was a buzz in the town. The only person who wasn't looking forward to it was Amanda. Not only was Daniel going home f...
The not quite famous slightly secret six and a half: By pop_54/2003. With acknowledgement to the marvellous Enid Blyton for the inspiration for this small attempt at an 'adult parody' of a children's story based loosely around the style of children's novels written by EB. I must add at this point that any childlike mannerisms associated with the character...
