My name is Julie. I'm 29, and my friends say that I'm a bit of a health nut. I try to eat right and exercise four or five times a week. You could say that I'm firm and well toned at 5'5" and 125 pounds. My husband of six years, Steve, is a bit of a geek. He's definitely not the kind of guy would meet at the gym. When I work out, he usually joins me, but tha...
Wednesday 25th June 2014 Ben has been away for a few days. I had another note through the door first thing Monday morning. He just said that he would be gone a while to run some errands and then collect his dog from quarantine. I have spent the past three days just marvelling at what happened with him! I feel confused, I feel lustful, and I actually crav...

For Caitlin We all know the story of Snow White and the seven dwarves — evil stepmother, poisoned apple, handsome prince, happily ever after. But you probably don't know the story of the other Snow White, from a couple of kingdoms over. She looked the same — dark hair, pale skin, red lips. The two kings were cousins, and they didn't have much imagination, s...
(c) GratefulFred Part 1 Working for the FDA wasn't the ideal job I set out to do, but it was a job like any job - it paid the bills. I was assigned to the poultry division and further categorized in the fried foods department. Seemed kind of boring considering that, off the record, we really couldn't go accuse any of those big chains of any wrongdoing and...
Susan's asked to leave Hannah's spare bedroom in Hershey, PA. Susan sat on her twin, lumpy bed in Hannah's small, spare bedroom talking to herself through her tears. Albeit much better than living at the shelter, she was still unhappy nonetheless. Without having a car or money to travel anywhere, she felt much like a prisoner living in a 12' by 12' room in...
We are walking along the crowded streets. Locals and tourists alike, mingling in front of shops and restaurants. I’ve been told that I’m pretty, but I discount other’s opinions. The way you view me is what counts. I know I’m special to you and that is all that matters. Today, being considered attractive has an added advantage. I’ve been receiving admiring lo...
Alice was so beautiful she took my breath away every time I saw her. I asked her out a couple of times and she turned me down on both occasions. The second time was just after she split with Dougie Laughery and I thought I had a real chance this time. Dougie was an asshole, I had been competing with him toe-to-toe since junior high. I couldn't see what Alice...
Chapter 3 Steve hated leaving for work as early as he did, but he had operational meetings starting at 7:30. It wasn't the hated going to work; it was that he hated leaving April. Their love left him feeling peaceful and contented, an emotion he had never felt before. His life had always been about hard work and striving for lofty goals. Being happy, comfo...
Life in our village was rather peaceful. We didn't get a lot of visitors, but most of us liked it that way. The whole place was only about a hundred people, so everybody knew everybody. Just us and nature. I can imagine it doesn't sound too appealing for most, but for me, it was a perfect life. It was the place of my family, my friends, my religion... everyt...
