Lorena I wake up the next day to see the sun shining through my curtains. It's a beautiful, dry morning and, as I eat my breakfast, I have an overwhelming urge to feel the sun on my skin. So when Amanda shows up to help me open the store, I tell her I am taking a few hours off to work in the garden. I spend a little time cleaning up one bad patch of a st...
To my loyal readers: Several of you have asked me to do a story about the young couple whom I have mentioned in passing in more than one story. There are certain elements of this story that are absolutely true, and others that are the result of reasonable guesses on my part. In any case, I hope you enjoy! --- She heard the pop of her ankle a scant second...

I call it a branch because every story I write leaves itself open for another part of the tale to be written. But first of all, let me thank you, my fellow readers for your support. You all give me a reason to keep on. As long...
Author's note: I highly recommend reading the preceding chapter to understand what is going on. This story is about traveling to a recently discovered planet. It is plot-focused and not focused around sex, but there is plenty of it. Throughout the story, there will be human/human, human/alien, and plenty of action. I hope you enjoy it, and any feedback is mo...

Chapter 3 The building where the gym was located seemed bright and cheerful. The picture she received from her contact did not do it justice and it made Ike uneasy. What if the contact was wrong, what if this girl was really training, what if she got hurt and it truly was an accident, she thought. The what if's were staggering. The further they walked into...
Prologue Most days, she did her exercise at noon and relaxed in the pool afterward. Floating on her front, head in the water, thinking. The Santa Barbara sun was hot on her naked back as she drifted over to the black granite infinity edge facing the ocean and rested her head in the half inch of water flowing past. It made a very small burbling noise. She sh...

Comments are appreciated and welcome, they are how I judge my work. Thanks for reading my story and enjoy. The title and parts of the story were inspired by Tim McGraw's...
