I couldn't sleep without picturing the angry waves crashing on to the side of our ship. The image almost seemed romantic to me in a way. I laid in bed in my thin white night gown debating on going out there for myself to be with the water. Everyone else in my cabin was asleep peacefully rested in their dreams. After some time I decided to just go out there....
It was nearing yearend and Sheri was feeling like it had been a long year. She thought to herself how good she was at pleasing her customers, and they always rated her well on their evaluations. She chuckled to herself at how naughty that sounded to her. She was a customer service rep for a large national company. The company offered a trip to a motivational...
Lindsay licked her lips. She would love to know the man in the tuxedo. She'd been eyeing him ever since the ceremony when she saw him standing next to the groom. He had a pair of sinfully full lips that she wanted to suck on and thick, silky dark hair she wanted to run her fingers through. She caught his eye and slowly, teasingly licked her lips. Tim caught...
The Eagles song… At the dark end of the street ... that's where we'll meet, hidden in the shadows where no-one can see, the fire of two bodies burning with desire. to be continued... The damp drizzle made it seem colder than it should be for May. I pulled my jacket closed around me and searched for your silhouette approaching in the dimming light. I hear...

Smitty's was a popular dinner/dance club about ten miles North of the city's center. When I came here after college this area was a cow pasture. But the city grew rapidly to the North; Smitt...
Five minutes before, I'd been driving down the road about a mile away from work and the engine of my car died. Now I was under the hood, poking around an engine compartment that might as well have been a rocket engine, as much as I knew about it. Could never figure out these new-fangled electronic computerized automobiles. Give me something I can work on by...
She had got to do it, she knew she had. Sal had a real wish to go beyond the end of the garden, not just creep into her neighbour's garden but go further afield. Indeed, into the fields and woods. It had just so not been her plan to meet a group of ramblers. She had scouted her route out whilst clothed one morning: well clothed in a light cotton dress, tho...
Do you hear what I hear? A voice, singing in the woods behind the cemetery. The words faint and distant on the wind like the smell of pine, the taste of cloves. It's so icy out. My teeth chatter, skin flushes, fingers in my mittens feel numb. I'm digging in the snow, looking for the song beneath the evergreen boughs. Do you feel what I feel? A tombstone on...
It was one of those days. Cold and dull. Sarah wished for the day to be done already. It was a Saturday and the roads were quiet. Everyone probably took extra advantage of this kind of weather, snuggled beneath a blanket with a mug of streaming coffee and no cares in the world...And maybe a warm body beside them...and warm arms around them... Sarah's mind be...
Jackie called me out of the blue and invited me to go out with her and a group of her friends. It was just the kind of distraction that I needed considering my last couple of weeks. She told me that we would all be going to a favorite hangout of theirs. It was a "biker bar". She wanted to make sure that I was aware of this before I agreed to go out with th...
