My name is Jan, and those of you who know me in real life know me as a professional woman, a wife, mother, volunteer in and leader of youth groups and every sort of school or church related activity, the perfect image of wife and mother. I am 46 years old, with red shoulder length hair that went curly with my second pregnancy, blue eyes that are striped with...
I wasn't a shy, naive 18-year-old girl. I had moved from "The Big City" to a small town, so I knew what went on. Hell, I lost my virginity at 15 to some 17-year-old wannabe rockstar named Rev. But I felt straight-up prudish at the sight of what was going on in the pool and the area surrounding it. I was glad to have the lights off, because I'm pretty sure I...

Six Nick was prepared to devote the whole of Friday morning to Pete Collins though, anxious to avoid a repeat of Wednesday, the venue would be the house, coffee and tea the only stimulants on offer. As Jan and Liz departed for lunch in town and Nick awaited the writer's arrival, a head popped around the door. 'Hi,' smiled Kelly, rolling her shoulders. 'Hot...
This is based on true events, but all the erotic stuff is 100% fiction (though I certainly wish otherwise). Hope you like it. * I was home from college for the summer, and so far, it had been pretty boring. Until a friend of a friend asked me to play guitar at a gig with his band. Apparently, their lead guitarist was recovering from wisdom teeth surgery,...
— The Interview — Emi landed in Hawaii for the first time and enjoyed all of the exotic differences from the Seattle, WA area. After checking into her hotel in Honolulu she decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Everything felt somewhat familiar, but also different in many ways. It was humid but not as hot as Emi had imagined that it would be. Sh...
Jordan looked at the one dollar and fifty cents sitting on the table. People were assholes. He did his best to be nice, courteous and attentive when working, but it was moments like this. When some snobby asshole came in ordering expensive wine, showing off to a woman that could've been his child, staying for longer than necessary, and leaving a shit tip t...
Chapter 1: The noise and the heat in Berlin Airport pressed all around me, and I slumped listlessly in my uncomfortable chair. The zipper of my leather jacket dug into my side. I knew my hair was a mess, and last night's eyeliner perfectly complimented my raging hangover. For someone studying health, I thought, I'm doing a wretched job taking care of myself...
How I managed to convince the limo driver to give me his keys isn't important. What is important was that I found myself steering the midnight-black stretch through the teeth of another famous Boston snowstorm. The sunset, though quite breathtaking, wasn't helping, as it cast a golden glare across both my windshield and the mounds of blinding white on either...
A shard of earthenware found in Leicester (Ratas in Roman Britain) has scratched upon it the words "VERUCUNDA ACTRESS . LUCIUS GLADIATOR". A love story in four words. I have tried to write the backstory to this inscription. "Lucius I really do love you." Veracunda said as they walked along a narrow alley on their way from the ampitheatreii to the inn where...
