IThe following takes place between 10:00 AM and 12:00 AM on a day of no particular importance. 10:00 AM The phone in the Bauer household rang. Kim Bauer picked it up on the third ring, expecting to hear the voice of Miguel, her boyfriend. She was more than slightly taken aback when her father, Jack, (who rarely called at this hour) greeted her with “Hi hon...
Rata came awake slowly. The first thing she noticed were the warm waters lapping at her skin. She smiled and relaxed back into its welcoming and healing depths. That was when she noticed the soft gentle embrace. The ample breasts pillowed her throbbing head. Breasts that had comforted her for hundreds of cycles. It took all of her effort to force her heavy...
He bent forward, his weight firmly pressed against her back. The rough wood of the table was now scratching against the skin of her thighs. Skirts up and twisted, and his hand firmly entangled in her dark curls, pulling her head back even as he bent her forward. Her neck smelled like a meadow, clean, herbal and warm. He savored the simple scent, no perfumes...
It was that time of year again. The time when everybody with families, especially children, put in desperate requests to have a day or two off, and left those of us who were single to cover the hospital. It was a trade-off. Usually the pay was premium, usually the work load was light, but then there was always a feeling of sadness. All of us who worked smile...
I was returning home following a meeting with a prospective client. I am a freelance photographer and was feeling elated having secured the account, which was for the illustrations in his company's new catalogue. It was late July and very hot. The main road was very busy so I decided to use secondary roads and enjoy the fine weather. As the car climbed a sl...
The heat of the day was finally cooling down a bit and the shadows below the huge ancient trees were nice. The Amazon warrior shifted, carefully avoiding the clinking of weapons. She had absolutely no wish to make her presence known. The green eyes narrowed slightly as they made a final sweep through the encampment a short distance away. Not really big, but...
Beverly was sitting casually on the edge of the bed, feet on the floor, legs crossed at the ankles, supporting her upper body with one locked-elbow arm, an expression of apprehensive fascination on her face. Her lean angular body was exciting to me even as she was dressed in a tan shirtwaist closed with dark brown buttons from hem to collar. She commented th...
Meredith is a friend of mine. Best friend, sometimes. That cow Meredith on other occasions. We'd been like this for years and even though we are both nineteen, pushing twenty, you'd think we'd have grown out of our childish spats. I suppose we have, really. Our spats are now more adult in tone. Right now I was irritated with her. It hadn't reached the stage...
Now I don't mind lending a mate money if he's in a jam but I do expect him to pay it back once he's out of that jam. I've even been known to 'lend' a mate money knowing that there was no way on God's earth that he'd be able to repay. The guy was in a real bind and I was happy to help. I also know that if he ever got things together he'd either pay me back as...
We arrived at the hospital to find that my mothers stroke had been quite serious, but they didn't think it was life threatening. The doctor's told me that she would have to be under medical care for some considerable time. But the long-term prognosis was reasonably good; if mother could only get over the guilt she was feeling over my father's death. Just af...
