I sat on the large couch in the middle of the suite’s great room, slowly sipping my coffee. My legs were pulled up in a fetal position with my arms wrapped securely around them. I felt so tired from only getting a couple of hours of sleep, yet my mind was whirling almost uncontrollably as I mentally replayed the events of the previous evening. In the short time I had been with James, we’d done many things that pushed me o...

Wednesday, 4:41 pm When I wasn’t busy checking the news every thirty minutes, I spent the rest of my workday doing damage control. I had a growing number of unreturned texts and missed calls that needed to be addressed. While looking over my grandfather’s collection of assets or counting money like a rich duck sounded appealing, if I wanted to keep the relationships I’d built, I needed to start whittling down the number o...

Chapter 10 Nora Nora’s stomach was in knots as she sat at her desk on Monday afternoon, waiting for her meeting with Olivia. The team that had been assembled for the Indigo Lights campaign was getting together to meet with the client and go over what would be expected of them on this project. This would be the first time Nora and Olivia would see each other since Saturday morning when Nora was rushed out of Olivia’s apart...

So it all began when I decided to take a trip to the local market to buy some fresh produce and vegetables for the week. The weather was so warm and beautiful outside so I was really looking forward to a day of shopping and enjoying the lovely sun. As I entered the grocery store I immediately noticed a beautiful woman. She was a caucasian woman with long dark brown hair. She wore a beautiful long floral dress that danced...

Chapter 9 Olivia Olivia checked the address on her phone as she approached the small cafe nestled between a sushi restaurant and an overpriced dry cleaner. She checked herself in the reflection of the window before going in. She had decided on a pair of jeans, a white tank with an open yellow button down on top, and a pair of clean white sneakers. She wanted to look presentable, but not like she was trying too hard. Casua...

I took her hand and led her back inside, walking through the living room and on into my bedroom. When I got to the bed, I turned around and she slipped into my arms as we continued to kiss. We wrapped our arms around each other and fell back onto the bed. Our hands started roaming over each other’s bodies as we kissed and started fumbling with each other’s clothes, desperately trying to remove any barriers between us. Our...

Tuesday, 4:35 pm After finishing the paperwork at The Blue Beans and ordering a coffee for Natalie, I returned to the office. The rest of the coffee date with Ashlee went without a hitch, which surprised me, considering how poorly things went for her at the start of the meeting. She filled me in a little on her history. She was twenty and attending her third year of college at Columbia, studying business administration wi...

Chapter 1 Bianca was exhausted. She stumbled through the tall grass, clutching her basket of freshly picked mushrooms in one hand and her skirt in the other, as she hastily made her way back to the familiar grounds of her cottage vicinity. It had been a long day of work for the young brunette beauty. She had set out early in the morning to the perimeter of her land in order to reinforce the magical shield that protected h...

It was six a.m. and I was wide awake. I heard James softly breathing and realized he was still asleep. I tried to close my eyes, but it was no use. I might as well get up. Very carefully, I slid out from under James's arm. I picked up the baby-doll and thong that we had thrown on the floor the night before and walked into the bathroom. After using the toilet, I put on a bathrobe and snuck back out into the bedroom. He was...

Nora Nora woke Saturday morning to the sound of an ambulance whizzing by on the street outside. She squinted her eyes as the early morning sunlight streamed in through the windows, directly onto her face. At some point during the night, she and Olivia had untangled from each other. Next to Nora, Olivia now slept soundly on her stomach, the bedsheet only covering her from the waist down, revealing the pale, flawless skin o...

"We have a lot we need to do before this evening, and we need to get started," James said in a commanding tone. He paid the check, and we walked out of the café, his arm securely around me. It was the first time he had touched me since we woke up naked together that afternoon. We walked outside to the valet station, and he handed his ticket to the attendant. It was a beautiful sunny day, maybe mid-80s, I guessed, typical...

Chapter 7 Nora For the second time tonight, Nora found herself unable to wrap her mind around what was happening. This evening was unfolding like a rollercoaster that Nora was riding while blindfolded. At no point was she able to anticipate what was coming next. But it was that thrill that kept her wanting more. A few hours ago, she was amazed that she had been sitting in a bar, having drinks with Olivia Andersen. And now...

Chapter 6 Nora What a wild night this was turning out to be! First Nora had been stood up by her date. That alone would have been enough to shake her confidence for a good while had the night not taken an incredibly unexpected turn. The last thing in the world she would have expected was to run into Olivia Andersen out in the wild. And at a cheap bar like this, no less. And now, nearly three hours and as many drinks later...
