"This is really gonna hurt honey. I'm truly sorry, but I've fallen in love with another man, and I am leaving you to be with him." Aw shit. She's going to ruin a perfectly good evening. Here it is, the first warm, clear evening since the Spring-Forward time change, the sky is clear, the beer is cold, and all of my chores are done. I had hoped to sit outside...
After talking to Marie, Dawn and I quickly packed and then managed a fitful night's sleep before an early start. We headed east at six in the morning. You don't want to cross the passes tired in winter, and we were into mid-November. Snow at Snoqualmie Pass was measured in tens of feet and snowfall in tens of inches. We hit the pass at eight, Yakima a littl...
This is the second installment in a series under this title. This chapter picks up where the first chapter stopped. This story is a work of fiction. While the story has some basis in reality, any similarities to any real person or entity are entirely coincidental and unintended. ***** Christmas that year fell on a Friday, so Carol and I had two more days...
Karen was tired when she arrived home. She had seen just enough of the hospital and was ready to forget all of it. As a nurse she had more than her fill of responsibility. Add to that the fact that she worked the night shift of seven on, seven off in a burn unit and she was always ready to relax when the time came. At 32, Karen had already been married and...
I've found an editor at long last, and I am so sure we are a good fit. I welcome curiousss on board. This is the first story he has edited, and I can tell how much more readable, how much smoother the story goes with his apt hand applied. I do want to say that after receiving his final edited version, I still tinkered a little with the story. So, if you find...
CHAPTER 3 -- ABANDON DECORUM His eyelids weighed a ton, yet he stared distantly in the dark. Shy was restless after Tabor had woken him up and then nearly blasted him—and quite possibly the entire apartment building—into nuclear ash. Nothing could distract his mind from the stress headache that throbbed in his temples, neither the big elephant-in-the-room w...

Pi cooed when Eddie copped a feel. His hand eased along the underside of one breast and fingers curled at its outside edge, thumb on the inside. Her thrumming became deep and breathy as he squeezed. The succubus pressed closer trapping his hand before she begged for a kiss with her leading tongue. Eddie was all too happy to give it. His lips were crushed by...
I. The first day she crossed the line, she wanted a cookie and a grade change. It was a warm June day. She was on campus taking an extra sociology class. She decided that before she went to her sociology professor's class to ask why she earned a C- on a paper she had written, she decided to stop by the local coffee stand for one of her favorite treats: a...
This is the third in the Silver Lining series. It will stand by itself, but parts one and two will add more context. I wrote this in response to requests from several readers. I hope that you enjoy it and I encourage you to give feedback and/or send me a message with your thoughts and ideas. There's plenty of opportunity to add to the story. ***** "There's...
