This story follows on from my debut Entertaining at Home. I've divided it in two mainly because when I started it I was determined to make this one shorter and more snappy than its predecessor. I failed – maybe next time. Comments welcomed again. Hope you enjoy it. ***** My debut as a stripper on a public stage was, looking back, the result of a series of...
Thank you to LadyCibelle and Techsan for editing my story. * I'll begin by telling you I'm known as the 'Bad Boy'; have been since I was a kid. You've all met guys like me; always getting into trouble. Drinks, smokes, stays out late. I've been in so many fights I can't even tell you how many I've been in. I know I have a very bad temper and a very short fu...

Hopefully the site will allow me to post the short story also in the Novel/Novella section.

I believe the American version of Sod's Law is called Murphy's Law. The law states that if something can go wrong it will go wrong. The idea of inevitable catastrophe appeals to my natural British pessimism. It is in the Romance section because the couple have to struggle for their relationship to grow, and it must have felt like Sod was really persecuting...
It was a warm Wednesday morning and Kim was enjoying some lazy time with the kids off to school, just waiting for Jill to show up to share some coffee and some conversation. Now that Pete had gotten the promotion she could be a stay-at-home mom and, so far, she was loving every moment of it. She read a lot, shopped a lot and day-dreamed some, even some fairl...
CHAPTER 1 Munro Morgan had an eye for breasts. Indeed his eyes rarely strayed from them. He assumed it was a cultural thing: his mom still had great breasts and photographs of both grandmothers in their prime suggested the gene was in the Morgan's and Jenks's family lines. He'd gotten over the finding as a young guy he was destined to retain a flat chest...
My mobile phone buzzed once on the counter of my bathroom and the rectangular outer screen lit up. I heard it as I stepped from the shower and despite the steamed up screen, I could see that I had a new text. It brought a shiver of apprehension. I suspected who it was from. And it made me wet. I ignored the irresistible temptation to look and threw open...
"You two kid's seem to be a little tense today." observed Klaus the German goldfish, leaning back against the curve of his little round fish bowl. "It's getting close to your twentieth anniversary Stan. I would think you two would be happier and ready to celebrate, but here you are bickering." Francine Smith swung around quickly, sticking her index finger...
The sun shone into the building's courtyard, bringing the rose colored walls alive with warmth. Everything was beautiful. The courtyard had all manner of flowers and bushes, arranged to form a circular seating area where the tenants could sit on the benches or lie down on a patch of grass which was in the middle. The building itself was an old Spanish mansio...
"I now pronounce you man and wife." Zachary Crane applauded with the others as Meredith Trinette Levine—well, Meredith Trinette Chambers now—threw her arms around her husband and kissed him soundly. Across the dais, Christa Sternbacher grinned, clapping as best she could around her bridesmaid's bouquet; behind her, Arie had simply tucked hers un...
