James and Claire had been happily married for over 10 years and still had a good sexual relationship - good, but nothing unusual. Despite having a relatively open relationship - including sharing some of their fantasies - with one another, they had never had anything other than a monogamous relationship. This, although they both admitted that - as a fantasy...
Laurel looked over the docket of cases she'd have to make. The first one was of a serial arsonist. It came with pictures of his three victims. She'd gone into work that morning bearing a smoothie with the smoothie dumped out and vodka filling the Styrofoam container instead. She'd been smart; that was enough to keep her on an even keel through the work day...
Oliver and Emily along with Harry and Ann were at their favourite restaurant, a steakhouse, celebrating their twenty years to the day friendship. Never a harsh word had been spoken in that time and they had a ton of happy memories. "Am I suffering from paranoia or do these noisy tables become quiet when I walk past them because they are talking about us?" a...
The term is coming to an end and I haven't done shit. As usual. I open my laptop, scurry in my password, and open a word document to start my final paper. Ugh, writing fucking sucks but I can at least write a heading to make myself feel better. Why can't I even figure out what I want to say?! I'll just check Facebook real quick: stupid selfie, silly selfie,...
Thanks as always to Ravenna933 for being my editor and biggest supporter. I awoke on the third morning of my Caribbean cruise to movement in the cabin. Lauren was already up and puttering around the room as I came to. My internal gyroscope told me the ship was still underway -- I knew we were hitting Grand Turk this morning, but I hadn't bothered to look wh...
The dark shape that filled the far end of the only complete conference room on the pirate skyship oozed dread. Malevolence seemed to seep from every single pore of the shadowy form, and the darkness that filled the conference room, cast by harsh electric lights that were hung from the ceiling and walls by copper wires and cheap adhesive tape, was filled with...
"Morning, Oliver!" Alice chirped from the couch. Her roommate blinked at her with a sour, sleepy face before passing on by into the small kitchen. Alice frowned. She had hoped that Oliver would be in a good mood again. The past two days they'd had breakfast together, almost like a real couple. Alice had her bagel and Oliver mauled an overfull bowl of cereal...
A cloudless azure sky greeted Britt as she strolled across the neatly manicured lawn. Her sun lounge stood beside the swimming pool, sheltering the icebox, in which was placed a magnum of chilled champagne. Removing her short silk robe, and revealing her naked body, she admired the well-kept gardens, while reaching into a nearby locker for the coconut oil. B...
I must thank my team. Harddaysknight is my mentor and gives me critical review. SBrooks103x also gives me a pre-post read. My editors are Girlinthemoon, Hale1 and GeorgeAnderson. I thank you all. Oliver sent Ben with Kane and Bannon when they got to George Town. He gave him money and told him to buy fresh vegetables and any fresh herbs he might find. He too...
ONE. A pair of fingers snapped in front of Katy's face and she came back to reality with a jump. Shit, she'd been daydreaming, again, her eyes were open and she was facing forwards but she hadn't taken in anything for, well, who knew how long? Katy looked around to remind herself where she was. Right. University. In the big lecture theatre with a couple of...
