NOTES TO THE READER: BobNBobbi recently completed a multi-part story titled "Always Faithful." The story is about a loving wife who, with her husband's permission, enters into a long term affair. In many ways the husband becomes both the enabler and the victim of his wife's affair. From the first chapter it was clear that this story fit into the traditional...
* * * Gerri continues * * * On Friday as we walked to Sharon's house I was thinking how nice it was to have Mark in reserve when Sam was out of sorts. Once Sharon and the kids left, I went in to Sharon's bedroom and made myself ready for Mark. While I was getting ready another one of the guilt/remorse waves rolled over me. I wondered why I was making myself...
She woke just as the sun was coming up. Still dressed, her book open on the bed beside her. Lying on her back, she stared up at the ceiling of her room, and counted the cracks she found. Ten this time, same as last. The house was old, and run down. A far cry when it had been one of the finest in town then. Not that any of the towns better citizens ever stepp...
Chris Newman stepped onto the pavement from the front door of his office building. He had been into work early and now it seemed just the right time for a coffee, a good cup of coffee not instant or from the office machine. Freshly roasted Arabica was what he hoped to seek out. He had seen the little café whilst walking through Soho, not far from his office...
Natalia Forrest didn't even see Mark coming. Witches and Warlocks could sense each other from miles away... as it was Natalia was keeping tabs on about 10 others in the area, none of which were any kind of a threat to her, she was much more powerful, and would be on guard if any of the others got closer to her. Natalia was recently single, having been "dumpe...
'Hey, don't cover up for him.' Vijay said, hotly, to his wife. Kangna replied with an equal vehemence. 'Then, stop dragging my brother's name into everything.' Vijay was flustered. He was a very cool guy by nature. As a HR guy in a top company, his work dictated him to be cool with people around him. But the one thing which touched his nerve was his wife s...
She found the DVD by accident. She hadn't been snooping; she'd been searching for her mother's blue sweater, but her rummaging through the drawers of her parents' bedroom led to an exciting discovery. Francesca held the plastic case, transfixed by the printed images on the cover. She experienced a tremor of some deep, terrible, taboo in the pit of her stoma...
Once know as the best city in the world. San Marcye had it all. A great beach, 2-time World Series Champions, held the Olympics and the World's Fair. Barely no murders, suicides, or even petty car thefts and no fires. So there was need to have over 200 officers on the police and fire department. On June, Friday the 9th, 2000, the day all of it changed. That...
MARCH 2010 Comanche smoke signals of dust rise from an uneven dirt road, a half mile away. Beth's bouncing pickup emerges from the cloud, an arrow aimed at Jim Ed's southwest pasture barn. Beth and Jen stagger from the barn, loaded with gear. Jim Ed Andrews, III leans against his white crew cab pickup. He grins at the pony-tailed brunettes, who are irritat...
I've been married to Ben for seven years and sometimes I wonder how I've managed to stay with him and not go crazy. He's a good man and he takes very good care of me. You might even say that he puts me up on a pedestal, but he has what is, to me anyway, a major flaw - he is cheap! Well, maybe frugal is a better way of saying it. We never lacked for the nece...
