Clouds scurried swiftly across the sky and the early morning air was crisp with the first hints of autumnal frost as I started my southerly drive over Rannoch Moor. I'd set off deliberately early, hoping to avoid the worst of the late summer holiday traffic on the A82. Behind me lay Fort William and a fabulous week's holiday in the Scottish Highlands, where I'd visited Kilchurn Castle, explored my paternal ancestry on the...

In the dark well of all consuming night,I forever yield to your spark of light.Your presence makes my ardour soar,Devoted to you forever more. Binding us tight, we're deep in the fold,Of a beautiful web of glittering gold.A special world for us to share,Shimmering seductively, my body laid bare. Lingerie clad, a provocative pose,Trembling with lust, eyes softly close.Quivering gently, your lips touch mine,Heat intense, as...

FridayKatieThe Lufthansa 737 hurtled down London Gatwick's north easterly runway, its two turbofan engines effortlessly propelling it off the tarmac and into the bright blue winter sky. Once airborne, it slowly banked to the right, pointing its nose out over the North Sea towards the Low Countries and our eventual destination of Munich, which lay just ninety minutes away down the Rhine Valley.My forthcoming weekend in Ger...

The unparalleled panorama of staggeringly beautiful scenery was nearly lost in the heat haze that shimmered off the tarmac as we made our way steadily along route US163. Fortunately Lucy was driving, allowing me to soak up the views from the car window as the landscape, completely overwhelming in both its majesty and its size, swept serenely by. Lucy and I had arrived in Las Vegas five days earlier with four other friends...

Soul mates through and through, "You're my rose," she said, Candles, wine and lingerie, Then taking you to bed. Holding you closely, Looking in your eyes, Kissing you all over, And loving all your sighs. My tongue caressing your body, As far as I can dare, Dabbing at your sweetness, And exploring everywhere. Licking secret places, Naughty but divine, Pushing deep inside you, Knowing that you're mine. Feeling breath on ski...

As I sat down on the sofa after a long day at work with a fat glass of wine in my hand, my feet visibly throbbed, like some sort of bright red swollen bruise from a Tom and Jerry cartoon. My girlfriend Marie could see the discomfort written across my face. "Aww, come here. Prop your feet up and I'll rub them for you," she said, patting her lap to indicate exactly where I should put my feet. "Then I'll fix you dinner." Din...

1 - The Beach Katie "The fire island paradise with breath taking landscapes and a climate envied the world over." Having been here a week with Linda and Kirsty, I couldn't dispute a word the Lanzarote guidebook had said. Kirsty had just broken up with her boyfriend and had enticed Linda and I to book two weeks away to help her get over it all. We'd booked a villa on the Jardines Del Sol in Playa Blanca on the southern tip...

As the sun blazed down from the middle of a cobalt blue sky and I watched the green and fertile Adelaide Plains slip slowly past the window, I knew I'd made the right decision. For the last three weeks I'd snaked my way round the coast and hinterlands of New South Wales and Victoria with nothing but a rucksack and my best friend Gemma for company. We'd started in Sydney, made our way loosely in the direction of Melbourne,...

It was just another normal day in the cheese aisle when I first noticed her. Customers came and went as normal buying all manner of chilled foods. The queue at the deli ebbed and flowed as people clamoured for cheese, cold meats and fresh pizzas. It was my job to manage the staff and ensure all the shelves were fully stocked. In hindsight I didn't pay too much attention the first time, but after four days of seeing her vi...

I just adore England in the spring; it's the most perfect time of the year. The trees are starting to leaf, the hedgerows are filling out and different hues of red, white and pink blossom seem to adorn every other tree you can see. Spring was the time Allison had first picked for her visit to see me in England, and I couldn't wait to see her again. We'd fallen in love online some six months earlier. Neither of us had been...

Ever since I'd moved in I'd hated Amy's bedding. I don't dislike blue but it was a very 'boyish' colour and wasn't really fitting of our new relationship and living arrangements. We needed to have something we both liked. I smiled to myself as I hatched a plan to change them without Amy noticing. She had no idea what I had planned but I knew she was going to love it! "Bye Katie," she said one morning. "Bye Amy, have a fab...

I never believed finding romance and love online was possible but that's exactly what happened to me. Her name was Allison and the minute I saw her picture I was hooked. She was simply stunning, with the prettiest face and smile I could have possibly imagined. While she lived in Oregon and I lived in England , the distance didn't really matter. After all, it was just a chat site, wasn't it? I thought for ages about a way...

I just about skipped home. I'd never felt so exhilarated in my life. Danni had always been my best friend. Now she was teetering on the brink of being my lover. My mind was filled with the unspoken joy of holding hands with her, the kisses we had shared and the touch of her hands over my back. It had all felt incredible and I couldn't wait until I saw her again. I went to bed smiling and soon fell into a deep, contented s...

I think I was certain already and had been for some time. I suppose it was just to finally test myself when I decided to kiss the two guys. The kisses were about two weeks apart but I knew after the first one that I was sure of what I'd been feeling for years. I'm not sure why I tried again with the second guy but as this was something that would affect the rest of my life, I guess I had to be truly sure. I think I knew a...
