I could not fucking believe my ears - but there they were, right in front of me, giving the news with seeming concern for my well-being but apparently without a fucking clue as to how it would be received. Maybe I haven't been emotionally demonstrative during my life but just because I don't wear my feelings on my sleeves does not mean that I don't have them...
(This story interlocks with each chapter so if you come into this story other than the beginning, then you may well scratch your head at some of the comments within this chapter. I've tried to make this a glimpse into the lives and lifestyle of three people. They chose to keep there lives private, isn't it strange how life never lets that happen.) * Frank...
I want to thank Wolf Vixen for her help in making this one of my best stories yet. So sit back with a cold beverage, read it and tell me what you think. But remember one thing, it's only a story. * January 17th. On January 17th, about two months before my 18th birthday I became a man. Well I had sex for the first time with my girl friend of four months,...
The next morning she wakes up well before dawn, Quell still fast asleep. Her womanhood is still very tender, though the shooting pains of fire don't burn through her when she moves. She eases out of her mate's grasp, quietly getting herself ready for the day without the help of her handmaid. The towel from last night has dried blood on it; she grabs a fresh...
Jackie Lawrence was in what she considered the best part of her life. The various struggles of the past were simply that, in the past. She could name them, chew on them, if she wanted, or allowed herself but these days she simple didn't bother. She'd grown up with a name that she hated, Samantha Jacqueline. She'd often chided her Mom about where they came u...
Ya'll are going to hate me. I don't blame you. I was as shocked as you are going to be. It was the hardest, and most emotionally draining chapter to write. But don't kill the messenger. Often, the journey is more important than the destination. All of the errors, misspelling and punctuation deficits are my own. I couldn't locate an editor. They are more di...
Many thanks to those who offered comments and constructive criticism on my previous stories. For those who want to say this or that would never happen, remember this is my universe, a place where nearly anything can, and often does, happen. At least on paper... If you haven't read Part 1 yet, I suggest you do so to fully understand everything taking place...
DAY 1 Lindsey woke with a pain in the pit of her stomach. What in the world had she eaten to make her feel this bad? Fifteen minutes later and she was over the toilet bowl, puking her guts out. An hour later, and a vicious fever had gripped her body. Sweat beads stood out on her skin, and she felt like she was baking in an oven. By that point, she knew...
Nine months later Jenny gritted her teeth as she pushed with all her might as the sharp pain knifed through her middle, then she relaxed and took several deep breaths. Nick was hunched behind her supporting her weak body with his, her hands gripped at his. He murmured words of encouragement in her ears while the doctor worked between her raised knees. She...
