=========================== PART 4: GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO =========================== I opened my eyes slowly. The natural, musky scent of a man mixed with a spicy cologne filled my nose when I breathed in deeply against the pillow. My fingers squeezed around the malleable fabric, and I smiled. Remembering. "Feeling rested?" My smile widened when I g...
We like to play games. We like to play secret games. We are the only ones who know we are playing the games. The rest of world, the people around us are oblivious to the hidden meanings, the looks, the gestures the illusions. False bravado, saying things that have double meanings, just enough for a stranger or a friend to look askance and wonder. We love ma...
So that was Lana's story....well part of it at least. And perhaps now you can see why she likes her job so much, especially when someone as gorgeous as Nicole shows up with her lover.

Sakura walked her adopted three paces behind her Sensei.

"Hi," she said, as I looked up. "I still haven't thanked you for helping me move into my new place, and I wondered if you would like to come over for dinner some time." Anita on...

Chapter 6 (Sunday) I'm falling. It's pitch black. I can feel the dirt falling all around me. It gets in my eyes and my mouth and my nose. I grab desperately for something, anything. All I get is more dirt. I can't see anything. I feel the side of the pit. My hands desperately digging in every chance they can, but the sides just give way, and more dirt is fa...
