Book 1 -- Loosening Up: Initial Journey Chapter 1 -- A Crack In The Façade Alice sedately drove her seven-year old silver Honda Civic into the parking lot of the company she worked for -- Knightsbridge Manufacturing. She looked around, but only a few cars were present. Along the back side of the lot four cars were already parked in the spaces under the tre...
Afterwards we lay side by side panting in exhaustion. No words spoken, just pure, soulful, bliss. We lay there in each other's arms until we were finally able to catch our breath. I looked over at her watching her chest rise and fall in the darkness of the room. She turned her head returning my glance as our eyes met. I opened my mouth and began to speak....
Katie was having a bad day. Yes, some distant part of her was excited about her date tonight, but the rest of her was consumed with the mundane monstrosity that was her life.

In hindsight, I should have known something was up when she suggested we sit in the theater balcony. It was an art-house film.

The package and the second note were still on my lap. It was getting late. So many memories had flood back to me as I tried to make the hardest decision in my life. I tried to remember everything he had told me about this harem of his. For months I barely believed him so I don't remember the early conversations too well. My eyes looked down onto the second n...
"Here she comes boys," he shouted, waggling his eyebrows at me as I walked through the classroom door. My eyes focused on him, I watched while he watch me saunter the ten feet to where he stood with his jock friends. "Jared Casey, you are so full of shit."

I got home from work around 4, and Mercy came back shortly after that.
