I tried to block out the buzzer to my door. I really did. I flicked an eye open and looked at the time. I was only under for about two hours as I wiped the sleep from my eyes and went to the speaker. "Who is it?" I said. "It's Tracy," the voice said, "Took you for fucking ever to get to the buzzer." "Sorry, I was sleeping," I responded, and I buzzed her...
Author's note: This is an appendix for "Little" Sister. I have done some revisions and additions to make the story more of a stand-alone, but there are many cross-over characters. For the politically mind, Donald Trump has a bit in part 7. First is a cast of characters, followed by a history of the Richards family and their estate. Cast of "Little" Sister...
Jack waived a muscular arm at the waiter and asked for the check. "No coffee or dessert tonight then?" No matter how often they were here, they never had dessert. The waiter wondered what their story was; he knew them by name now, knew that he had served them a number of times and knew also that they simply could not resist each other. They were always touch...
Phoenix’s phone buzzed, waking him up. “Shit, who could that be?” He muttered sleepily to himself. Sure, it was already 3 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, but Phoenix had been up late last night. Straight out of class to a tutoring gig, then work on his thesis until the early morning hours. It was crunch time. Only a few more weeks to go. It was Dominique....
"Ma'am! Ma'am!" Sarah Hendrickson had only just stepped out of the elevator to the second-floor parking level, when she heard the voice behind her. She turned and saw a tall, young man fast approaching, holding a leather briefcase. In Sarah's hands, were two new bags of clothes. She couldn't wait to show them off for her neighbor, Paul Hastings. Sarah had r...
Of course, the thesis. Finally. After pushing the work off, I only had 3 weeks to pull together two semesters of work. Luckily I was a fast reader, and I was able to pull together cohesive reports quickly. Friday night the fluorescent fixtures flickered as I poured over textbooks about financial scandals. The library was open 24 hours, and I fully intended...
This story was inspired by a recent trip to New Grange, located near the Boyne River in Ireland. The monument there dates to the Neolithic, or early Stone Age, around 3000BCE. The valley, known as Bru Na Boinne in Gaelic, is a fertile area, and the river teems with fish. Archeologists consider the monument to be a "passage tomb." There is a tunnel about 30 f...
Author's note: This story takes place in the Richard's Enterprises universe: Kitty & Teddy, LLC; K&T, LLC; [K][T] and Family, etc. An understanding of the events of those three books is helpful, though not necessary. I consider this a coming of age story, even though the main character is in her mid-20s.There is no sex in this installment. Prologu...
Though it had not been terribly late when I fell into bed Saturday night, I slept until nearly 10 a.m. Sunday. After completing my usual morning ritual and pouring my second cup of coffee, I sat down in front of my iMac 21-1/2-inch desktop computer to do some work on my master's thesis. Yeah, I know. Desktops are so last century, but for a grad student in e...
Mike woke up slowly. He stared into the fading daylight. In the distance he hear a dog barking and perhaps that was woke him up. He lay there for a moment trying to remember where he was. In a few moments he realized he was naked and that someone was lying next to him. He turned his head slowly and then to his shock it all came back to him He had just had or...
