I really, really think I should begin at the beginning. But that doesn't make sense to me unless I make the beginning the present, and look back at what happened back in my college days. So, bear with me, there's sex aplenty and we'll catch up in almost no time at all. XOXOXO Rach Reunion From the pitch-black surroundings of the lavish penthouse ap...
In the Beginning Ch 03 On to Phoenix I rode. I took the same route that Sweetness and I took down to Las Cruces. Instead of taking I-25 up to Hatch, I decided to take SH-185 that runs parallel to I-25 then SH-187 up to Caballo. Riding over to Santa Clara on SH-152 catching US-180 to SH-211 to detour through Gila then back out to US-180 and past Buckhorn and...
Chapter 3 Jenny on the Jet A long and bumpy flight for Jake turns out well. Sunday August 31 Jake stowed his carry-on in the overhead bin, and settled heavily into his seat 31B. Although it was still too warm, it was nothing like the sauna-like conditions of the jetway, which mirrored the sweltering August heat wave that continued to baste NYC. He was on...

WAAPPP!!! The textbook hit the polished granite floor, and the explosion bounced off every smooth plastered wall of the old science building lobby. Startled by the deafening sound, Elise Richardson quickly retrieved the wayward volume and shrank against a wall, just in time to avoid the rush of students pouring into the lobby from finished classes. Two sop...
Shay was silent for most of the ride home. About five minutes from the house she said: "Did you really mean it when you said what happened is going to have a major impact on our marriage? I didn't do it. I stopped. I didn't go through with it Frank." "You didn't go through with it, but you intended to. You willingly went to his room intending to do it. You...
Tonite had proven quite different. Most of my Friday's began and ended the same, with the only random event being how I got drunk, and how I got home. This one though... My last class ended at around 2:50. It was officially scheduled to 3pm, but on Friday's, every class after noon got interrupted 10 minutes early by the rustling of books and notepads that m...
