Of course nothing runs smoothly in our home. Lauren and Alecia were determined to get Josh and I together. They kept on and on at me to call him. I ignored all their requests and filed him away in the history folder never to be reopened. Christmas was racing around and things were crazy at work. We were flat out trying to fill orders for the end of year ord...

Matt liked to think that he was a pretty normal guy. That he was just living his life with there being nothing extraordinary about him. He knew at some level that this wasn't technically true, but it was still what he told himself. Nobody else told him any differently. As he was off from his job for the weekend and his only real friend was on vacation, thi...
"Hey, twig!" From the corner of her eye, little Ginny noticed the two boys by the fence down the forest trail. She preferred to avoid them, but this was the only path she could take without getting lost. Ginny kept her gaze down, pretending not to hear, and stepped a little faster. The boy who had spoken before walked up to block her path. He folded his ar...
Twenty-Nine When Nat approached his apartment door (after entering his building from above not below), he smiled and prepared himself for a small harem of woman on the other side. It was about seven p.m. and he had set a dinner reservation for 8:30. That was plenty of time to wind down a little bit and then get changed, etcetera. He opened the door. As he...
Not only did I not wake up in my dream where I'd left off the night before, I woke up a little disoriented from the phone ringing. "Hello," I said, answering in hopes of stopping the annoying noise it was making. "Wake up call, Mr. Thomas. It's 7AM. Is there anything we can get you?" The sexy female voice on the other end of the phone was eager to please,...
Author's Note: As promised, this is the final chapter of this phase in Jeremy's life. As such, it's a bit of an epilogue. Fear not, faithful readers. Jeremy's story is not done. Soon, we'll tug a different thread in the tapestry of his life and see what unravels. As always, I'm grateful to those of you who have stayed with me thus far. It's incredibly grat...
Chapter 2 - Champagne Dreams When I stirred and began to wake, I felt the warmth of Janie pressed into me. We had fallen asleep holding one another and it was a wonderful sensation. She hummed and stirred as well, finally stretching her body and then leaning down onto me, her arm resting on my chest and her chin on her arm. She smiled at me, still not full...
Chapter 4: Stove Tops and Turned Tables The next time Ruslan woke up he dryly remarked, even before he opened his eyes, that if he was back in his own bed back in Seattle and this all had been a dream, he would go right back to sleep. His limbs were mobile, but the cold press of the bathtub beneath him confirmed what he knew to be true. This was not just s...
© Sadie Rose Bermingham and Bellora Quinn 2013 Finally here is chapter the tenth. I know... I know... it's been ages. Sadie has been unwell so the last few chapters will either come all together or sometime before the end of the century, who knows. Anyway... thanks to everyone that's patiently, or not so patiently waited. Hope you enjoy it. The usual warni...
