It’s going to be the party of the century. Three nights cruising the Caribbean; three nights cruising onboard the Caron, the most luxurious boat ever built, or so it says on the brochure but let us not be petty; on the menu you have twenty three concerts, six discotheques, eight restaurants, ten bars, two Olympic swimming pools, three spas, free booze and th...
______________________________ A Call to the Boss ______________________________ "JaQuez, it's me, Jean." she said into the payphone. "I can't complete the mission." "Why has this development come?" JaQuez said with malice. "He found me out, dammit, I appologize it was my screw-up." she rubbed her forehead and winced with pain as her hand touched the cr...
When all nine Vampire Lords gathered for their video conference, it was Lord Constantine, Lord of Eastern Europe, who began with a laugh. Lord Christian hated Lord Constantine's laugh the most, considering what his appearance and voice was. "My my, little Miss Rachel is giving you two a hard time isn't she?" Lord Constantine said with a smile. "That's only...
“There is nothing but you.” Giles said. “You are the centre. And within you, there is the core of your being... of what you are. “ Giles walked in a circle around Buffy. “Find it... breathe into it.” Buffy was leaning over a short pedestal with both her hands on it; she had her eyes closed.

I blushed when he told me what hair colour he liked though because I'd just dyed my hair a mahogany brown – in my eyes it was a sort of red, even if it was mostly brown. That was some time ago. Since then I've had a burning desire that I've tried to k...
Every year I host an Adults Only Halloween party. Granted, it's a bunch of thirtysomething soccer moms and dads (because it would be awkward not to invite the moms), but the party is a favorite haunt for men who know that a Devil costume isn't going to be the only horny thing at this party. Since my divorce, the hot dads in town know this will be the night...

They say that life experiences can change you. What happens to your life when you are no longer numbered among the living yet aren't dead either? My name is Raphael Hughes. If you were to gaze upon me, you'd see a tall, good-looking black man in his early twenties. Once upon a time, that's who I was. Then, everything changed one night. It was the summer afte...
Briefly home from college, I realize I'm going to have to take up some sort of work. It's the last thing I want to do, especially having just survived several weeks of exams, but I figure it'll take my mind off of how quiet my parents' house is, and how little I actually have to do. "Why don't you watch the Clarence kids?" My mom suggests, at breakfast. "K...
Author's Note: This story takes place a few years before the events depicted in the first "Hunted Blood" story. It would have been just another day in Seattle. It was raining, though not heavily. The streets had that oily film that comes with the first light shower of the day. The sidewalks were equally slick, and in this part of town, equally grimy. And t...
