Part seven Conner wasn’t sure how long he held Tessa in the doorway. Her wide blue eyes were locked onto the yard. Desy had come in some time ago and was curled up and sleeping against Conner’s shoe. Conner had been paying attention to Tessa the whole time, looking for signs of panic. So far, she had been oddly calm. Conner finally lifted his hand and car...
Chapter Three—Dr. Doctor David Doctor, Ph.D. reminded Tessa of James Earl Jones. Big and tall and black, with a very authoritative voice. He was also very kind. "Dr. Doctor?" Tessa inquired as the large man entered. "There's no need to call me Dr., Miss Truman. I'm not a medical doctor, merely a Ph.D. despite the unfortunate surname. Pleased to meet you."...

NOTE: Set in the UK - so spellings etc are UK. CHAPTER 1 Autumn leaves, at least the more upright ones, ran across the terrace outside the family room like retreating soldiers on invisible legs, disarmed and their commander-in-chief being the unseen ruthless wind.

With thanks to Darkniciad for all the red ink. * Tessa couldn't stop staring at the candy-red cock. It was red like the rest of him, red like the horns that protruded from his head.

A tale of a husband who wants his wife to stray. If this is not for you then read no further. There was a big crowd. I had spent ages chatting to old and new friends and had to endure the usual ribbing about being an old man now I was 40. It was all good natured and great fun recalling tales from the past. Tessa looked absolutely gorgeous in her lemon mini...
Vince and Margie After Danny and Tessa left, it became evident that Vince and Margie were uneasy in each other's presence. Both were careful not to comment on what had gone on the previous night and that morning and it was obvious to both that they were going out of their way to avoid one another rather than discussing their feelings about what had happened...

She didn't have many clothes to start with but the bulk of what she did have was now residing in Duncan's closet. Tessa lifted a rueful brow. It wasn't just the contents of her closet at Duncan's house....
Junie woke up to the sound of her alarm, after a full night's sleep without any crying babies. She stretched, then got out of bed to get ready for school. It was Callie's bed, but Callie had insisted that Junie take the bedroom since she'd be living at the apartment, while Callie only stayed there once a week. It had been Junie's second night there, after he...
