Traffic was backed up. Giving him time to think. Didn't really want to argue with January anymore. Nothing more to be said. Just thinking. Flipping through radio stations. A perky female announcer remarked on the latest government shutdown, he'd never paid much attention to politics before. But now? He brushed a strand of his long, raven-dark hair away from...
Author's note: As things move toward the wedding, there will be less emphasis on sex. There is enough other drama to go around. Chapter 11—Concentration of Forces Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: Much has been made of the interviews that day. Given the number of reporters hanging out in various places, there was bound to be some variety, even disagreem...
MONDAY Layla woke up. She was alone in bed, unless you counted her morning wood. Like most of her dreams, her bedside companion was gone once she awoke. Then again... she was still in Selena's house. It didn't seem likely that she had dreamed up her previous encounter with Selena Grande, yet still woke up in her house. That would push the limits of even the...
The question hung over my mind like a summer squall. All of the evidence pointed to an answer that would shake, if not destroy, my world. I wanted to ask him, but I was so afraid of the answer. Afraid of the truth, afraid of a lie. Afraid that I wouldn't know the difference. I should not have invited him here, should not have opened myself up to the temptat...
Notes for the reader: This story began more than twenty years ago. If you're the "get to the action quick!" type, move on to another author. I will relate this account at my own pace. Although I've categorized the entirety of this collection as Romance, because it very well was, there are some recollections that some readers might find an uncomfortable rea...
Sophie is God's gift to mankind and I am the lucky sod who snapped her up to be mine but to be honest, at eighteen years old she had not yet blossomed into the glorious creature that she was to become. Right at the start she admitted to having slept with two guys before me. I was glad about this because I had been told that girls who marry as virgins, ten ye...
As we passed through the gate of Rachel's mansion and our apartment over the garage that we called 'the palace', I glanced over at Alexis and said, "Glad to be home?" She smiled at me and nodded. I drove around the side and parked in front of one of the five garage doors nearest the entry door. I grabbed our luggage and I followed Alexis up the garage stair...
At sometime or other, we must have all been presented with an opportunity that was a dead cert, but chose to walk away. For whatever reason. Whether it be the wrong time, the wrong place or even the wrong person. We've all done it. I try not to dwell on such matters, but every now and then a memory will come back and prey on my mind. This has happened to...
ONE They could sense her approaching before they ever saw her: Hope Escher. The Woman From the Edge of Town. The Cock-Breaker. The Glitch-Bitch. The Broken Lady. The forty-five year old woman didn't appear particularly noteworthy. Five and a half feet tall, a slim build, a small bust, and a rather plain face. Light blond hair cut off at the shoulder, grey...
Their lovemaking was slow and gentle. Rose sank slowly to the bed as the orgasms played over her. Rafe held her as she curled up next to him. As she started to relax, he reached over and touched her and brought her to orgasm again until a smile played over her face. Then they curled up and went to sleep. Rose woke up the next morning to find that Rafe had t...
