This is the day, you think. This is the day you have been waiting for. You have planned it very carefully, and longed after this day for weeks. And it is finally here! Walking to your closet you let your towel drop and glimpse at the mirror for a second. You feel sexy standing there with nothing but your smile and some make up, you let your hand glide over...
Emily had to stay late to finish filing her boss's case and drive home late, so it was a lose-lose situation. But she was determined to do it. Being a strict Catholic and a virgin at 21 was difficult for her but living alone helped her with this predicament. "What a fucking mess" said Emily as she looked around the last pile of papers. After putting them in...
Chapter 39 I hacked into the security system at the Donnelly residence. Katie was all over the first images I received to my laptop. It made sense and drove home all my mistakes in the last week. There she was, distraught—my fault—and in the hands of a diabolical man without a clue to the danger— definitely my fault. I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt f...
I walked into the cocktail party regretting yet another social event and completely aware of the eyes upon me. My coworkers seem to think I have a need for a collective life since I favor an absence from this type of function. I immediately noticed his dark eyes, indulging in my champagne satin dress. He focused on my feet, and slowly moved upwards, marvelin...
It was windy. God, how Iliana hated it when it was windy. Standing outside on her balcony she halfheartedly picked at chipping paint that splayed the metallic railing. She couldn't keep jumping hotel to hotel, in fact she wasn't sure if she really had the funds to do it again after tonight. She'd made the money only by conjuring tips from wealthy donors from...
It was on a Friday night, the 25th Year High School reunion of good old Fulton High. Nearly the entire class had attended. It was held at the prestigious Helton Banquet Hall, high atop Helton Hill. Old friends reuniting after all these years. Jock's still showing off old injuries, the geeks and nerds showing off their trophy wives, the pep squad still cheeri...
“Intruder alert, someone has broken inside the mansion. Intruder alert, someone has broken inside the mansion” A robotic voice echoed throughout the mansion. Samuel woke up with a twitch. This was the first time in a month that the alarm had sounded. Last time it had just been a stray cat walking in the yard, but this time, it was something else. “Target imm...
The party died down and most of the rooms were brimming with a soft murmur. This room was no different. She helped me up from the floor, which I thought was rather kind of a complete stranger. As I stood and attempted to dust my knees I noticed she kept my hand in hers. I looked up in search of her eyes but instead was met by her essence trailing behind h...
I had been working with my friend Jake again. He lived with his mom and step-dad in a turn-of-the-century house so he was always helping out, fixing things up. I was often invited over, and ended up getting Tom Sawyered into working. I didn’t mind though; it meant I got to be around Jake’s mom. Isabel was stunning. She and Jake’s dad had had Jake while they...
"And here we are,” Lara smiled with satisfaction as she reached the T-shaped bottom of the red sandstone stairs leading into the deepest recesses of the latest tomb to be explored by her. It was an odd one too, Lara mused as she stood between the two pillars on the platform formed by the bottom of the staircase, ten feet above the floor of the massive s...
