I stood very still, my stare darting from the drawing of Kai to my husband's face. "I asked you not to look at that," I finally managed to say. My voice sounded weak and pathetic. A bitter smile pulled at Brandon's lips. "Yes, well, I can see why." Gently, he closed the sketchbook and set it aside. "I wasn't trying to pry, but you'd left it open on the table." Thinking back to earlier that afternoon, I realized he was rig...

By the time Kurt pulled into my driveway, I was desperate to get out of his car. I moved to open the door as soon as he came to a stop. "Jocelyn, wait." He grabbed my arm. "Let go of me!" I yanked away from him, feeling his rough grip even after I was free. Again, he said my name, but I ignored him. The rapid click of my heels against the pavement betrayed my eagerness to escape. I was halfway to the house when I heard hi...

When Peyton arrived at my house the following evening, Mom answered the door before I could. Walking down the hall, I heard her cheerfully greet him. "Have you eaten yet?" she asked. "We finished dinner not long ago, and there's plenty left over." "That's very kind of you, Scarlett, but I'm good, thanks." Simply hearing Peyton's voice ignited such a strong craving inside me that it almost overpowered my anxiety about toni...

The emperor, wishing to expand his empire, targeted the numerous self-governing villages occupying the central landscapes. These independent villages had evolved in their thinking to where women enjoyed the same privileges as men. Conflicts erupted as the emperor’s warriors conquered the villages and forced thei...

She was sleeping on her side when she began to awaken, with her legs one on top of the other. She started to rhythmically clamp, then released, then moved them slightly. The silky wetness between her thighs aroused her unconscious libido to the point where her hand slipped, unbidden, down to her pussy, finding its way between her already wet lips, stroking her pearl and the opening to her cunt. When her consciousness caug...

"Are you sure?" I lay there, trying to catch my breath.  I made the suggestion of getting going for the day.  She stood there and repeated, "Are you sure you want me to put these back on?" She held those sexy red panties, the ones I had all but torn off her earlier.  They were mine and she shouldn't have borrowed them, but halfway through our little fight, it turned into something else.  It seems my straight roommate was...

Aaron was only in New York but a week when he first saw her. She was elderly, but she had aged well. Her late husband's wealth had given her a power over aging available to only a few women. She was elegant but could display her disapproval quickly with only a glance or a raised eyebrow. Aaron's gaze had settled on her at a noon-time luncheon with the personnel manager of the New York Symphony.  He had watched her, gently...
