CHAPTER 10 - HOME WITH STEVE AND A NEW CONTRACT Steve was waiting at the Brisbane airport. The week had gone much faster than he had feared. In part, he was more relaxed about the possible dangers posed by her slavery but he had also been buoyed by some of the responses to the hundreds of job applications he had sent out in the past few weeks, gaining inter...
The feedback from my first submission was very positive. This story is a multi-chapter. Please let me know what you think. ********* It was our first vacation alone in forever! Sandra and I boarded the cruise liner in Barcelona after the long trip from Florida via London. We were tired but excited. After almost 20 years of vacations with kids in tow we wer...
I walk into your store. We have never met. I am wearing a short black sundress, my shoulders bare. The dress is low cut, showing the tops of my ample bust. You are standing behind the counter, you smile. I feel your eyes travel over my body. My heart beats faster, I feel a flush creep up my face as I think how handsome you are. Neither one of us speaks; our...
I looked up at him, his brown eyes looking down at me. He bent down and kissed the top of my head, my eyes, my nose, and then finally, my lips. I loved his kisses. That's the one thing I loved the most about him. His kisses always made my heart tumble. The only thing that rivaled my love for his kisses was my love for his voice. He could sing like no other,...
The sound of the TV wakes me up. I look over to your side of the bed. Not finding you there, I walk towards the sound of the television. You begin to get up as I enter the family room. "I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to disturb you," you say, with a smile. "I knew you were exhausted because you fell asleep with your clothes on." I smile and motion for y...
The snow was falling hard and fast, big wet flakes that made the car's wipers struggle. I couldn't speak the local language but I understood the cab driver's mumblings and murmurings, he wanted us at the airport as soon as he could get there and then he was off the road. Wasn't looking good for flying but we had no choice but to try. The windows were steamed...
Charles was very wary of going back into the Maze that morning. After all, being landed in the middle of a major wartime operation was no small matter, and the effect still lay with him now. Even a crow scarer in the fields was enough to get him diving for the floor, and Sandra wondered if it had not unsettled him permanently. So it took some courage to sta...
Though I had a ticket to travel by the air-conditioned coach in Coromandel Express from Howrah to Chennai, I was waitlisted 21. Enquiries at the station confirmed my worst fears. That I would have to travel in the unreserved compartment as I could not be accommodated in the air-conditioned coach. Twenty-six hours, including two sweltering hot afternoons whil...
I have certain visual memories that cycle through my dreams. I hope they never go away. One of these recurring visuals is about a lover who liked to be naked wherever and whenever she could be. Our first "date" lasted just less than a week and the location was a luxurious suite in a five-star hotel in Boca Raton. The bathroom was big enough to hold a band...
Kyle was awakened by a hand on his shoulder shaking him. It took Kyle a moment to come to awareness and for a little bit he wasn't sure where he was. Then he remembered about the ship and realized he was in his cabin onboard it. "Kyle, the shuttle is on final approach to the ship," said a voice. Looking over toward the voice Kyle could see it was Tracy, the...
