Dinner that night passed uneventfully, with no further improprieties by Turogg. Of the ten orcs invited to stay in the castle, only Bodak and Turogg joined them for dinner. They were actually quite social, and Jeanette found them easy to get along with. Even Susannah, who joined them for dinner, was able to get over her nervousness and join in the conversati...
Chapter 1 My name is Saona and I am a 22-year-old college senior. There is this guy I am friends with, his name is Steve. I have known him since I was little, always thought he was kind of a dork. Would always follow me around in high school, offer to carry my books home from the bus stop, that sort of thing. He's always had a crush on me. I never had any...
Hi! You have no idea how sorry I am for the wait. Though exams are out of the way, I've recently started a full time job, which means working about 40 hours a week for the summer. I literally have no life for a nineteen year old. I want to thank you all for the messages and comments. Want to thank some readers for suggestions to chap6, it was very insightf...
She had never forgiven herself, she realized as she lay in the tub, the froth of suds hiding her flesh even from her own eyes. After all these years, all these missed opportunities, all this shame, she was still unforgiven by the one person from whom she most needed it. The pain of that hit her square in the chest, and she raised a hand to rub the ache away,...
"Don't you guys have somewhere to be?" Christian asked his friends impatiently. He glanced toward his office door, not for the first time. It was already after eight thirty in the evening, and Christian couldn't help but repeatedly glance at his watch and the door. Neither Manny nor Logan made any attempt to stand up, or even acknowledge that Christian had...

In fact my heroine, Juliana Macon, who we met in 'You Can't Deny Your Wolf', grew up in the human world, outside of a pack. After a series...
*Dear loves, I sooo apologize for taking absolute AGES to get this chapter out. For some reason, I was having the worst writer's block and I hated everything I wrote...erased the whole thing like 3 times! But, I finally had a spasm of inspiration and asked one of my best friends to critique it, and that helped a whole lot to loosen up my words. As always, th...
Camille tasted bile rising in her throat. Glaring at the man she once trusted with her life, she felt as if the world were spinning out of control. "You heard me," Gerhardt said. "Strip." "You go to hell." She said the words with far more conviction than she felt. There was no way out except through him. The door that he blocked was solid steel and not l...
Gina's log. 3218 hours to Earth orbit. Still no clue as to the android's real purpose, or how to discover said purpose without damaging it. He responds to some voice commands, but rarely speaks. I have no idea how to get him to listen to me consistently. No wonder he was crafted in a male form. Have spent the last 1014 hours studying the books on robotics av...
