Brittney followed Jian back to the house. She had the feeling that she had somehow upset him. The person that had been following them showed herself and Brittney didn't like what she saw. She gave the beautiful black woman a dirty look and kept going. Jian had said that the woman was from the neighborhood but she didn't remember ever seeing her and wondered...
Chapter Six: The Darkness Ruth Mears perched herself on the edge of a stool and sipped champagne from the chilled glass. She stared at the open pack of Marlboro Lights 100s on the kitchen bar and shivered with delight. How foolish she had been to deny herself what it was she wanted all this time. Next to the cigarettes was a Chanel dark red lipstick; the li...
A little wicked story. Sorry no sex and no editor. I hope you enjoy. The economic storm that enveloped J.W. Parker & Associates that bright spring morning came without warning clouds or distant thunder. Ellen Walker came into work as usual and found the storm well advanced. The men in dark suits had descended into every corner of the office; they were well...
My Dearest Anthony, I realise that this will seem a little artificial but you already know that I am writing it as an introduction to the emails I sent you over the last few years which, having had your very kind permission, I am now publishing on the internet. Of course, I have changed or abridged people's names as well as some places but the rest of the...
II Emma left for home nearly forgetting to put Charlotte's coat on. The new responsibility would transform her life, she was sure of it. At the very least, she wouldn't have to leave for work so very early in the morning from now on.

Books and Curiosities, est. 1899. The bookshop sat a little back from the main street, a bakery on one side emitting warm wafts of yeast and spices, and on the other an antiques shop, all three shops older than any of the antiques within, timber-framed first and second floors atop dirty orange brickwork. Windows haphazard, no two oak beams forming a neat an...
The Late Mrs Carter by Vandemonium1 Back in the dim dark past of 2017, BigGuy33 wrote a fine story called 'Mrs Carter'. In 2019, BlackHeart93 continued it and added a twist of malice. I read both recently and an obvious extension occurred to me. Below is the result. I have to say I took a little artistic licence with the ending of the original. As with t...
In the office of Police Chief Kurt Crewe, his telephone rings idly nearby. Crewe, sitting in his leather recliner, picks the phone from its cradle at the third ring. Crewe hoists the phone to his ear and speaks. "Hello," Crewe begins. "This is Police Chief Kurt Crewe. How may I be of assistance?" "Cut the crap with the formalities," the caller yells. "I ca...
Bob's story. You know the story of Sarah and Ben? I can tell you a bit about it. You see, I own the club where Sarah went to work. June, one of my very best dancers, brought her in one day. She was shocked at what June did, but you could see she was very interested in dancing too. June had been working on her to go to work here at my club. If little Sarah...
"We have some strong Magic Users who have talents in future seeing." He kissed the lobe of my ear. "But again, the closer to you I get the more potent your arousal is." I sighed. "I'm not a Magic User. But I might as well join you out of my own free will opposed to being threatened and forced." He let go of my body and smiled. "I would never hurt you, Sh...
