1.Preamble. Almost a month had passed when Simon's mobile 'pinged' to alert him to a message from Cat. It was a pic of her in her latest lingerie purchase, with a simple note saying “Hi Simon”. He knew what that meant, and replied instantly to ask when sh...
Audrey stared at the clock on the side of the table. 6:10. In five more minutes Ryan would be home and her worries would go away. She could tell him about her new job, the promotion they would give her to return to work, and her work-from-home availabilit...
In the weeks following Beckett's death, the mourning of everyone in Oliver's house seemed to coalesce until it took on a presence all its own. Sadness followed me from room to room, and every time I saw Damien's grief-stricken face, my own pain grew even...
Up until the moment she approached, I'd have sworn the answer to can a bikini stop time would be an emphatic no. But in that moment, I change my mind. I’m chilling from the brutal heat of the midday sun in the shade of a walnut tree, lying back on a towel...
We had been drinking and talking for the last half hour. I don’t know if it was Amy’s hand on my thigh, or Tyler’s prolonged stare in a bit of extended silence, but I knew we had hit the fork in the road. No longer could we pretend that we were three frie...
“Hello! Anybody home?” I called out as I entered the house. There was no response. The backyard was also empty. I poured an iced tea and crashed on the living room couch with a sigh. It had been a long Thursday with two classes and a lab. Now I had a lone...
I could have soaked in that glorious tub for hours. Oliver was right about me being exhausted. At one point, I actually dozed off, waking only when I heard someone enter the guest room. Suddenly alert, I held my breath and hoped it was Oliver returning. B...
Though Victoria shared her name with the reigning monarch, the similarities ended there. She very much doubted the ruler would condone—or even contemplate—an outfit such as the one she wore. The ornate gild of the mirror in her chambers framed a woman bri...
My neighbours were going at it again and I wasn't missing it for the world. The tumbler is already upended in my grip against the joining wall, my ear jammed to its base as her escalating sighs of arousal filter through, almost as clearly as if I were in...
Sitting at the dining table, I tried ignoring the gritty feeling behind my eyeballs caused by the lack of sleep. Tiredness wasn't my only problem. Shame and stupidity are not good bedfellows at the best of times but I couldn't change the past. All I could...
Cynthia I awoke, snuggled up to a very soft and smooth body in total darkness. As the fog cleared from my mind, I remembered the previous evening as my hand found a soft breast to fondle. When my eyes gradually focused, I realized we were in June's bed un...
That single word, yes, was like a key unlocking a door. Stepping through that door would lead me deeper into this house, and closer to opportunities I'd only dreamed of. And of course, it would also bring me closer to Oliver in ways I couldn't possibly fo...
The power of her wants inscribe visions of peace upon my soul like spinning straw into gold bewitched hours where I am dreaming in her arms holding on to moments of serenity and lust floating with glittering halos as she dances with the moon and stars ~ Y...
I picked up the redheaded guy by his collar and carried him towards the door. My colleague, Harold, had control of the bearded dude and the fight was definitely over. The bartender, Lilian, gave us an appreciative glance as we rid the bar of the two troub...
She kissed me as we fed our addiction never forgetting the taste my heart's one and only obsession she feels it as my pulse begins to race She, the one who brings me such pleasure with an erotic hint of sensual pain Always a bittersweet mix with a touch t...
