I was in love when I wrote this and I guess it shows. Gina smiled when he switched off the light. She turned from the lounge window and her smile broadened as Robert panther padded across the room. He was a well-built six-footer, but moved with the grace of a great cat. "Why are we in the dark?" she asked. He turned her to face the window and pulled h...
Kovak was gone. Erdgar didn't understand even though there was a note left behind. "To my kind employer, I must apologize. I shall leave your fine estate. I've become so interested in the murder of Fabrizio Aquabi that I've decided to perform my own private investigation. I understand that I have no legal authority over this issue, but I've never been one t...
"There." "Pillar." Wakahisa-san advanced one frame and pointed at the screen. "Right there." "Pillar." "OK, now watch how she waves her arms around like she's trying to grab something or catch her balance." Wakahisa-san played the video forward again until the train hit. "Yep."

And the cut is a very similar style when I knew her in high school. She was attractive in high school...
The night sky was that sort of clear that only living in the country could bring. The stars were bright and full, stacked on one another in layer atop layer to the point where one could almost feel the unfathomable depth of the cosmos beyond. Eddie had always believed it never had an end and that made him feel lost, a bit scared. However now he knew, as he p...
"Uncle Stuart, are you saying the Irish were involved in the fighting as well?" Tom asked him. "Aye Tom, the Irish in question were the relatives of Laird Hamish MacDonnell, as well as descendants of the MacDonald's. They had a few castles on the north-east coast, one called Kinbane Castle, which means 'White Headlands', because of the white limestone of th...
Urban Oddballs: Farmy pt 01 Edited by Thegreat_pretender Three days had passed since the group had their sleep over. Now, however, three of the crew members met in Shawky and Gaxi's house to discuss what missions they would be tackling today. "Okay, well I guess it's just us and Miss Poppy today," Gaxi shrugged as she looked at her phone. "Yeah, Quizzy a...
Sian had forgotten how addictive great sex could be. The craving to be skin-to-skin, to suck, lick and nibble another person, the glorious full feeling as a man thrust inside her. The heat, musky smells and salty tastes. She couldn't forget Rob's promise, her body wouldn't let her. However she didn't have his phone number or any way to contact him. He knew...
