(A special thanks to Mystic-Arrival, not just for editing but for putting her special touch in this story. Thanks a million S~) Gray Hawk and Little Dove lay under the sparse shade of the thin tree in the meadow of knee high grass and wild flowers. The distant snow capped mountains offered no coolness to the sun's warmth as it rose. Lying there together wra...
Chapter Four: Captured! Pat's progress through the woods was swift, aided by the pencil thin light from one of Doc's mini-flashlights, which focused its beam narrowly rather than diffusing it, making it more difficult to be spotted. Less than 15 minutes after she had left the autogyro, she lay supine in the long grass before the warehouse which contained he...
I had taken a walk in the cool spring night to get some air. A night owl flew over head and landed in a nearby tree. Watching the owl fly is when I first saw the woman. She was standing in a window on the second story. The lighting only allowed me to see her silhouette. She was combing her hair. There was something about the way she stoked the brush slowly d...
Who will Cassidy belong to; Alpha Wolf or Ancient Vampire? * "Good morning." I hear a deep husky voice whisper in my ear as I come awake with a huge stretch. "Good morning." I reply softly as I blush self consciously since Griffin is lying alongside me. Looking around my new room helps me to feel calmer. The bed is a king size and strangely has violet be...
Shaun arose from his sleep with his regular morning glory, which subsided quickly. After the daily routine of breakfast consumption, teeth cleaning and changing his attire from pajamas to a shirt and jeans with a sparkly backflip. As Shaun left his house to engage in his everyday activities (i.e. 8,100 bells from the day's money rock, the gemstone from anoth...
A good friend of mine Tommy was getting married out of town, in Nashville. His mother lived in the posh Belle Meade section and was in the social elite, so she arranged for out-of-town guests like me to stay with a neighbor across the street, the biggest house I have ever been in. Well, as it worked out, I was the only out-of-town guest to stay in that mans...
This is a work of fiction and any resemblance to any real person is just amazing. All characters are eighteen years and older. * Ryan sat high up on the hill behind the old cabin. He had hauled the horses from the ranch to the cabin earlier in the morning and then had returned with hay and feed for them. Even though his uncle told him that it worked, Ryan...
We were up at first light and getting ready for the trip home. I was starting to get a little fed up with the way my women were fussing over me, and treating me like I was an invalid. I could take just so much! Finally I went outside, to see about getting things ready to move. That's when the shit really hit the fan. They all came over and started raising he...
He's been under tremendous strain, lately. Work-related stuff has kept him up nights, pacing the floor. Politics and world affairs haven't done anything to ease his mind, either - if anything, all those other influences have upset him even more. When I lowered my lashes at him one evening and nodded toward our bedroom, he looked away. I went over and put my...
You'd always been a night owl. Which was a fairly odd habit to have in a house full of early risers. You'd be warming up your cup of milk to drink before you finally attempted to rest, just as your mother was rising to make her first cup of coffee for the day. While your parents had never tried to change you, it did worry them. "It's just so unhealthy, stay...
