Willow and Xander exhaled in relief as they leaned against the front door. They had just shut it behind Buffy, who was off to patrol. They had gotten her to agree to leave by convincing her that they needed some “sweaty fun time” together. Buffy was still suspicious, but she had been willing to let it go for the evening. Willow looked at her tired best fri...
I had to get away. I needed to escape this place and just be alone for a while. It wasn't like things were closing in on me either. Quite the contrary. I'd just won a few thousand dollars in the state lottery, all my bills were paid off and I was feeling flush for the first time in a long time. No, I needed to get away because I was mentally exhausted. I nee...
When her eyes fluttered open, Derek was sitting next to her, wiping her forehead with a damp face cloth. "What happened?" "You fainted." "I did?" "You did." "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to." Derek leaned down and kissed Emma's wet forehead. "Hush. It was the most wonderful thing you could have done." "How come the bed is all wet?" "That's you, too, I...
Julie Williams was floating on a cloud when the ringing started. She wished it would go away and let her drift on the warm air but it wouldn't stop. She opened her eyes and realized her phone was ringing. Sitting up in bed she picked up the phone and whispered a hoarse "hello." "Julie, its Myra. Were you sleeping? You were supposed to pick me up at 10:00 AM...

Diego just stared at his mate hoping that she would tell him she's joking. He waited. Nothing. Aurora just stared at him with those silver eyes, wide and unblinking. When neither said nothing, she shook her head and turned and handed him a towel from the drawer. He felt her disappointment as if it was his own and just like that, all the arguments he had lin...
Master Sergeant Andrew Thomas had been giving a lot of thought to what had happened between him and Lieutenant Colonel Debra Robinson the previous Friday. He was a soldier's soldier, one of those troops who just naturally lived the Army's values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage daily; what had occurred was a...
My eyes open in the morning and I take in a deep breath. Looking over to the nightstand, I realize that I have beaten the alarm today. Sliding the sheet off, I set my feet down to the floor and stretch out before standing up. I walk to the kitchen and start a pot of coffee water for my French press, setting an old stoneware cup beside the pot on the stove....
Kentucky was moving into the dog days of summer. If July was hot, August was an inferno. The sweltering heat lay heavy over everyone and everything. The leaves on the trees hung lifeless waiting for a breeze to send them dancing but there wasn't a breeze to be found anywhere. It was humid enough to be a sauna, a person would be ringing with sweat after a s...
I was surprised when she pulled off her full-face helmet and I could see her beautiful green eyes. That's the thing about riding snowmobiles, you really don't know who you're riding with until you can see their face. The whole point of the gear is to keep every inch of skin covered from the cold. When she pulled the balaclava from her head and long, blonde h...
