The Sociology Doctor Charlotte, here is the report that you wanted about Max's visit. Thanks for getting him to come round to my place. I hope you enjoy the read. I have to admit that I was a little jealous when you first told me about your lodger. For the twenty years of my marriage, I refused to shave down there. It is against my feminist principles but...
Two months of searching for his mystery woman and Robert has had zero luck. Meanwhile his problem is getting worse and worse. Not to mention he has been too preoccupied with searching for her that he still has not found another job. If he doesn't find a job soon he will be kicked out of his apartment. While having his morning coffee he saw an ad in the pape...
The moon broke through the cover of thin clouds, bathing the clearing with it's silver glow. Barely a ripple broke the surface of the lake, the gentlest breeze whispered through the leaves of the tall trees around me. I checked and double checked the legs of my tripod, all tight. I switched the camera on and looked through the viewfinder, the focus was perf...
Traveling is my favorite thing. I've been all over the world without any problems, until Africa. I had rented a car to explore one of those exotic dictatorships of the dark continent and I was having a really great time. As a gorgeous, blond, single woman, I have come to enjoy men learing at me lustily, undressing me with their eyes. It was a blast, until I...
Derek pushed the door open with his shoulder and dropped his dufflebag to the floor. "OH, Scott!" screamed Amanda from the kitchen. A thump and a bump, the table knocking against the wall between them, before Amanda laughed breathily. "Give me a kiss, you stud." Derek closed the door gently behind him and took a step forward, toward the kitchen doorway....
The boardroom contained a six foot walnut oval table; chairs were set around it for the meeting tomorrow. A couple of up lighters had been left on giving a warm glow to the room. There were drinks set out on a side table also ready for the following morning's meeting. Once inside the room, Helen turned and pulled Tony close to her. She kissed him deeply her...
She turned the corner in the dark stone corridor. The moon cast blue shadows against the cold stone walls. Behind her, she could hear the shouting of guards in the distance, but more pressing was the sound of a pair of hurried shoes, clicking across the floor behind her. Pennington wasn't far behind. His coat flapped behind him like a cape, his sword drawn,...
There was a hollow spiral scratching sound as the bald Russian spun off the bottle top. The clear liquid sloshed onto the thick slab of glass at the bottom of the tumbler, and little speckles of the beverage found their way to freedom on the desktop. After Anatoly poured the first glass, he slid it across the desk's dimpled wood surface. He then poured a sec...
The Hotel The sun was low in the sky as we drive down a narrow dirt road. The small sign had indicated the entrance to our final destination, a secluded beach hotel that was definitely off the beaten track. We would have missed it if hadn't been driving so slowly admiring the sunset. Palm tress over hung the road all the way down to a small parking lot in f...
It was 3:27 a.m. and I was sleeping fitfully at the firehouse. For the 9th time this shift, I was jolted awake by a dispatcher sounding the loud, distinct tones used to notify us of a medical emergency. I never sleep well here. Maybe it's got something to do with knowing I'm gonna be the first one in if the gates to hell suddenly swing open. Anyway, I got u...
