South Slavs and Italians had carved and laid its imposing granite face a century ago, when the apartment buildings around it, even older, had been the manors of the barons of industry. The tall room on the second floor, lit, floored and furnished at low bid, retained li...

Looking at Lucas Boudreau and drinking in the eagerness and lust I saw on his handsome, I spread my shapely thighs teasingly, hiking up my long skirt and flashing just a hint of my crimson panties.

Taroudannt Phillippa flicked the ash at the end of her cigarette onto the dusty earth outside the window. She watched it fall from where she sat on the passenger seat of the rented four-wheel drive and contemplated its dispersal in the slight breeze.
