Diana Richards was barely listening to Ed Hood's voice drone on about how they could save each other if only she'd walk away from her husband and come to him. She was fighting the waves of nausea that kept washing over her every time the bastard would intimate that he knew they'd be good together if only she'd give him a chance. Suddenly, a feeling of calm...
If being in the Navy wasn't bad enough going out to sea was even worse. Especially when the ship wasn't up to standards and the new Captain forced the crew to go on the sea trial. And Alex couldn't stand it. The extended working hours took a toll on her. She found herself working over 16 hours a day doing menial tasks. She rarely actually saw the sea. The sh...
I was walking in Wal-Mart's parking lot one day when a very pretty lady approached to say, "I need some help." I glanced at her very pleading facial expression and wondered what was going on. I was wishing she had never spoken to me so that I could go on my merry way, but I always like to be courteous to ladies I said, "Maybe I can help. What is the proble...
I woke up alone. Brenda was probably at college and Sarah was doing whatever she does. I took a deep breath and stretched, feeling very good about the night before. The more I thought about it, I felt very good about the past six months. I remembered when I was thawed out and my first week here. I had a lot to learn. Now, it's just common sense. One of the...
Andrew sat anxiously in Dr. Sylid's waiting room. He had never done anything like this before. He was a good husband. He'd never been to a strip club, been with a prostitute, he didn't even watch porn. In fact, the only woman he'd ever slept with was his wife, and he was proud of that fact. But, well, things weren't like they used to be. They hardly ever had...
Thursday morning, Chief Morris sat at his desk and stared blankly at the police reports spread across his blotter. They listed the usual tourist crimes -- a stolen camera, drunken brawls, and loud parties. But the vision that replayed in his head came from yesterday -- his wife, Annie, in the arms of another woman. A knock on the door interrupted his daydrea...

Chapter 2 -- Cara and Keiji meet...in his car. I decided to skip going back to the office; I knew the night was a bust and I was in no shape to sit over a box full of work papers. Instead I drove home from the middle school with a blur of tears wavering in and out of my vision. I couldn't seem to stop crying, just as I couldn't seem to stop myself from havi...
sMy name is Brian, I'm 27 years old. I'm six foot one and in good shape with a nice body. Sadly I'm very anti social, I just don't like people, so I don't meet a lot of girls. I have a decent 3 bedroom house, and a good car. All in all, blah, blah, blah. Until I met Rebecca... I work in a large factory, on the night shift. One afternoon at the start of my...
Maggie was 33 and hated her job. One day she saw an advert in the local paper for a training course in therapeutic massage. She signed up for it, gave up her job, and set up as a self-employed therapist. That was five years ago. Now Maggie's business was well established. Her husband Mike was a little dubious at first about his wife throwing over her career...
