Our date at the Library Cafe went well. She dressed casually, and wore very little makeup, but to me she looked phenomenal. I was afraid that we would be awkward together, but Christina was completely natural. We talked about books, our college days, and the best and worst professors we had had. I steered clear of a few topics: sex, old boyfriends or old gir...
A Tough Girl from Montana - Part 1 - A Tearful Date Chapter 1 - Paired Up at a Pool Party * My new neighbor Norm’s pool party was in full swing when I showed up. He stuffed a margarita into my hand and introduced me to other neighbors. I was taking a long sip of the cactus juice and lime when his wife Francie came up with a woman in tow. “Michael, this...
Nissi We had actually done it. The walls and roof had been up for over a month, but I suppose it hadn't been real to me until this moment, as I stood in the open space of the northeast chamber of the greenhouse with the loamy scent of freshly-tilled soil in the air and a commercial-size bag of seeds at my feet. We were planting our first crop. This entire...
Jen's back in the saddle. Ginny is too but not the way she'd prefer this time around. Never mind, she'll get over it as the series continues to unfold. Part 4, Resurrection, revolved around Jen's and Michael's recovery after sacrificing themselves for science in Gone for Six. Jen, freshly returned from their sojourn three hundred years in the future, takes...
Note: Thanks to Liter Knight for the edit. Sorry again for the delay. ***** "Somebody grab their guns," Stansy said. Slowly, reluctantly, I opened my eyes and looked down. If I had been hit, I couldn't see it, and I couldn't feel it, either. In front of me, Robert lay on the floor, clutching a wound low on his abdomen. His face was set in a rictus of pai...
"But why? I make really good money. Why would you want to try something so risky and jeopardize our future?" he asked in that quasi-patronizing tone of voice she despised. "I know you do. You're very talented. I was just thinking how good it would feel to own my own business," she replied politely not wanting to start another argument. "A food truck isn't...
Devlin sat up in the bed, and swallowed hard as he realized he was awake. A glance at his watch told him it was still the middle of the night. Nightmare, he hadn't had a nightmare in years. He didn't remember what it was about, but he knew it was from the events of earlier. He had never felt such fear in his life. Not for himself, but for Reni, he thought ho...
Jenna Let me tell you, it was fun watching Ally and Kate's DVD; never thought I'd watch my daughter in what was basically a porno! Got to love my big sis for taking care of Kate. I talked to Brad finally about Kate. He took the news really well about his son now being his daughter. He told me to have Lucy contact his lawyer so Geoff's trust fund could be ch...
~Norm~ The truck rocked and creaked over the potholes of the old country road. Dust blew in through the open windows, but I kept them down. I kept my speed down too, to hear in case Tilly saw me and called out. There had been some small farms here, but many of the residents had moved away after the Rot began to devastate their land. The trees and bushes tha...
Let's get the introductions out of the way. Leo and Yvonne Bridgeport have been married just over ten years. They meet all the criteria for this kind of story—both good looking, both take care of themselves, etc. They have two boys, Sammy (8) and Roy (6). They both work and have good paying jobs and both their parents live within an hour of them so the grand...
