Shelter from the Storm

by jfremont on Sep 26, 2017
Romance

The wipers swished back and forth, not even making it to the end of their travel before the heavy, wet snow once again obscured the view. If anything, it was starting to come down harder. As he had climbed higher into the mountains, it first seemed that the snow was becoming a little thicker, less mixed with rain and more with sleet. But, then again, that ma...

Interracial Love

The rain fell in sheets in Little Rock on a bleak late August evening. Betty Atkinson perched on a stool behind the desk of the Hotel Aragon, blankly watching old sitcoms on the flickering TV behind the counter. She poured another cup of coffee and flicked an ash from her Virginia Slim. A couple of old men sat in the lobby, staring blankly ahead in their w...

Romance

The shelter was open until noon on Christmas Eve to accommodate Santas who wanted to give puppies or kittens to good girls and boys. Samantha had planned to give Archie a little while to decompress after work, so she told him she'd be there around 3:00. There was a giant mall just west of Denver, and traffic around there would be hideous on Christmas Eve. An...

Shelter Ch. 13

Romance

Ginger had a regular group of friends who went caroling every Christmas Eve, and they were all glad to be two voices stronger and happier this year. Since Sammi hadn't met any of them before today, they couldn't tell that her hair was a little more tousled or that her makeup a bit less put-together than she would have preferred. Only Ginger knew what her reg...

Romance

For being as free-spirited as she was, Ginger had a few dyed-in-the-wool convictions. One of those was that Christmas decorations were not to be put up until the first weekend in December; anything earlier than that, she'd said many times, was just plain gauche. (She'd said it so often, in fact, that Archie had won $20 off a volunteer at the shelter three ye...

Romance

Monday turned into Tuesday, then Wednesday, and Thursday, as it has an annoying habit of doing. Archie barely noticed though. All he thought about, all he could focus on, was Samantha. And Ginger's revelation about The Accident. More than anything, he wanted to talk to Samantha, but like Gabe had admonished him, he couldn't call her without her number. He...

Chapter 5 Even though Aunt Ginger had promised to still be awake, at 11:25, Samantha still tried to come through the door quietly. She found Ginger, sitting in a recliner, flipping channels. "Should nave known you'd be up to pester me with questions about tonight." "Well of course I'd be awake, dear. I just set up two of my closest friends on a blind date...

Chapter 2 Archie wasn't exactly what you'd call nervous, Ginger thought as she watched him work on Thursday, but he didn't seem quite right, either. No reason for him to be nervous, was there? He didn't know he had a date Friday night, even if she did know. So fearing something had happened in the intervening 30 hours, she pulled him aside. "You seem ... o...

Romance

Gentle readers, a friend and writing partner suggested I make it clear from the beginning that this isn't a stroke story. And truly, it is not. Sometimes, you just need an old-fashioned love story. All rights reserved, but you knew that. "Money may buy you a fine dog, but only love makes him wag his tail." - Kinky Friedman raconteur, Texas Jewboy, a...

Erotic Couplings

It was stormy as they walked to the shopping mall. The wind howled round the empty car park and litter danced maniacal steps on the wild gusts. They huddled together for company, their collars raised against the biting east wind. She looked up at him with eyes that told him that she wanted comfort. He pulled her close, and felt that thrill the touch of her...
