Oh my beloved Samira... I can still remember her sweet face; her dark, doe-like eyes and those deep, ruby red lips. She stole my heart, and one day, inshallah, I will return to Iraq and find her again. I suppose that for many of you Americans, Brits and other westerners reading this right now, the idea of Iraq as being a 'romantic' place might seem more than...
AUTHOR'S NOTE- I want to thank my editor Ditee for all that she has done. She makes my mess readable. All characters in this story are at least eighteen years old. Chapter 1 "I wont have it!" She said to John "It's not going to happen." She was pretty for her age, petite, bleach blond (for him), just slightly overweight and with large breasts that she...
My sister had children before me and from time to time I would visit them on their school holidays to spend some time with my niece and nephew. One summer they had arranged to rent a giant chalet in the Swiss Alps and offered to put me up for the week. Of course I jumped at the chance for some clear mountain air, good food, and good company. After a short an...
This is a follow up to HEY PAPPY, when that story ended I was widowed by my second wife. My first wife had left me and returned after I had remarried. Both wives became the other's best friend. I was seriously dating another woman and my first had found a man who interested her too. I will try to make this stand alone, but if you have not read Hey Pappy i...
"I can't believe it, it's him." I glanced back over my shoulder at the two fellows just walking into the restaurant and then turned back to my old friend, Pam. "You know them?" "The one on the right," she grinned. "God, it's been 40 years and he's still looking so good. I can't believe it. My stallion once upon a time when he didn't have a clue." "What?"...
My name is Lois Prince. My husband John and I have lived in this town all our lives. I can tell you about every store and every house, and who lives there. Even though this is the county seat, there aren't more than 2500 people living here. There is a historic old courthouse, built almost a hundred years ago, with the rest of the town laid out in a grid arou...
LIIIHope and GloryLord Newbury2078 The whole thing had been a bloody fiasco. In fact, it had been a disaster from beginning to end. Instead of rallying the whole nation to the defence of the beleaguered nobility, the actions that Lord Newbury had foolishly allowed himself to be associated with had rather hastened its decline. On this very day, one and a ha...
I look pretty good in a wedding dress. Not that I'm ever getting married, I mean, marriage is for ugly, and/or boring people, like my older sister. It's the only way they can have sex on a regular basis. But this is a costume for my next professional shoot. Since my video with Ron came out, I've been very busy. I got promoted to the Happy Hour shift at the c...
Tennis practice had been rough again. Coach had made the team run laps and do sprints the whole 2 hours. Some of the other guys were pissed. Robbie Lowell summed up the sentiments of a few of the boys when he said "What the hell is the point of practicing without our rackets?" Others nodded in agreement. Dan Grover quashed that nonsense pretty quickly. A sen...
