16 ABY. The modified pleasure yacht Lady Luck shut off its running lights before quietly coasting past the invisible demarcation line that signaled entry into the Koornacht Cluster. A globe of mottled green and brown hung large in the forward viewport: one of seventeen known planets in this system, as well as one of the few not controlled by the brutal and...
Karlien squeezed Darren's hand he placed almost absent-mindedly on her upper thigh. They just turned off onto the N1 out of Johannesburg. "Are you sure you want to go home, Karlien," he asked her, momentarily showing her what's under his veneer. She smiled at the way he pronounced her name in his British accent: Carlene, like a proper red neck. "I have to...
As I saw the train pull up I kept thinking how much I was looking forward to this trip. If my parents were to ask why I would have told them that it was because I was looking forward to seeing my cousin. And I was; even though she was a few years older than me we had grown up together and were practically sisters. After she got married they had to move away...
It was a typical scene...Tuesday brunch at the local Denny's. A quartet of gray haired folk shuffled in and were promptly led to a comfy booth in the corner. Hal and Les sat on the outside, while Edith and Aggie sat between them. They were immersed in conversation when the waitress approached the table. She was young - probably about twenty and very attract...
He was standing at the end of the lane where she had to walk by him. Ever since they had moved here he had been watching her. He never said anything but the looks he gave her spoke volumes. She wasn't really afraid of him as he had been raised on the place and was now the farm foreman. Both Russ and his father thought Robert did an excellent job running the...
Calvin loved his job. He was the owner of Top Choice Janitorial Service and he worked the Tech One Building for a dozen years. Thursday nights were his favorites because; he had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Natasha Crawford's curvaceous body, when she routinely came in to monitor the network servers. I just know Mr. Crawford isn't stroking her right, Calvin...
You walk into the hotel lobby a few minutes late for your meeting with Jill. Don't want to seem to anxious and not looking forward to giving her the bad news. You've decided that although it has been fun - the phone calls and photos and emails, when it comes down to it, you're just not willing to risk what you've got for a piece of ass - no matter how good i...
Chapter 1 I was a freshman in college when this happened, living at home, we lived in a large eastern city. There was Mom and Dad and my sister, Eileen, who was out of college and teaching biology and forensic science at a local high school. I'd been in college about six months, and maybe it was partly because I lived off-campus, at home, that I didn't see...
I rolled over in bed, trying to decide if I should get up or go back to sleep. Opening one eye, I glanced around the room. The sun had risen, making the white walls of the room quite bright. Must be mid-morning. I closed my eyes again. Paul's blue eyes hovered in front of me, his evil grin sending chills down my spine again. I sat up, opening both eyes now....
Ray had read an article about sex offenders and that you could go on-line and see where they live and what they were convicted of, even see a photo of the person. Of course we Googled our own small town and could not believe all the perverts that lived around us, some only a couple of miles away!! Ray got off on showing me off and one of his favorite place...
