"You're really a vampire?!" Levy came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the hallway. He was shocked to say the least, he'd certainly never expected a turn of events such as this. He closed his eyes and stood motionless for a long moment as he deliberated on what he should do. This was it then, the moment he'd feared yet longed for had finally arrived. He...
I knew I hadn't had a crazy, sex crazed high school life. But I thought I had done pretty well. I had been with a handful of girls. I had sex on the high school campus.

Peter asked, watching the brunette looking everywhere but at him. "Well, it's a health class. Of sorts." Isabella said, perching on the edge of Peter's desk and cro...
Laura didn't work; I don't think it was in her nature. While I frittered away my life as a drone at a mid-size financial planning and investment firm she whiled away her days smoking pot, hanging out with her deadbeat mates or just sitting at home having cyber sex with whoever happened to be online. To tease me she'd sometimes send me webcam shots of whateve...

Sam on the other hand being impaired is still focused enough to have her sword drawn; her rifle slung off to the side. The room is larger in the light than with night vision. Spencer scans the room taking in all the creatures—n...

I knew how she and Dave met because they are a members of one of the clubs I belong to, but she was unwilling to reveal that story publicly.

I was hungry. It was early. The first rays of sunlight colored the sand blue and purple...It was amazing, the whole beach looked like it was roasting; the sand blew on my face. Humidity stung, and yet it was delightful. I stepped outside my room and was shocked by the beauty of that morning...A promising day, no doubt. I wore a light cotton blouse and my s...
