"Sometimes, the right guy could just read a page of a telephone directory, and I'd want to slip my fingers inside to the sound of his voice," Josie said with a devilish giggle. "Sometimes, the right girl could bring me to orgasm with a giggle alone. The world is as exciting as you make it, right?" Matt replied with a look of mischief in his eyes. 'I've got a day to myself with the school run complete, and a guy's turning...

There are many ways people hide their shyness. Some methods are more successful and logical than others. Being introverted can also be situational. I saw that in myself. I travelled to many places people thought were dangerous. My choices seemed foolhardy to some, but this was my place to be me. While travelling through five continents, separated by work to finance it all, I lived life to the full. I drank just a little a...

We met from afar, both of us longing A virtual connection, a need for belonging At first, it was subtle, a like and a comment A message to her felt right in the moment A tease and a taunt elicit a smile In my mind, it worked, at least for a while I wanted more. I needed a friend In chat, in messages, her ear, I did bend I sent the request. She quickly accepted More messages sent, we quickly connected My lows, my highs, an...

I sat there in the rear of Paula’s car as she drove; Brenda’s arm was wrapped around me. There had been chuckles at my expense, mutterings that had now just become background noise. I didn’t care if collecting lady's telephone numbers had been just a Brenda game. Let them have their fun, I thought. Inside, I felt alive, I was still thinking about Linda and the future possibilities. It never occurred to me that I had just...

In a realm of friendship, a bond unfolds, A friend, a goddess with a heart of gold, A guiding light in life's uncertain maze, A gentle spirit, like the sun's warm rays. She walks with grace, like a goddess true, Radiating love in all that she does, Her words a balm, her presence divine, A beacon of hope that forever shines. With wisdom beyond the mortal plane, She lifts our spirits, eases our pain, A constant support in t...

I hated working nights. I'm not sure why I let Jules talk me into it. Sure, the money was better for working 6 pm to 6 am, but money aside, I really didn't enjoy staying up all night. "Hey, Jessi, will you please make sure Nick actually reads this note?" I yelled to my little sister as I scrambled to get out the door on time. My husband Nick is great. He's just horrible at checking his text messages and usually can't hear...

In the spaces between, where distance resides, There dwells a cherished friend, my heart confides, So far away, yet close within my soul, A bond, unyielding, an unbreakable role. Through the vast ocean and mountains that stand, Our connection stays strong, across time's vast span, Though miles may stretch, and time may elapse, In my heart, sweet friend, our friendship firmly clasps. Your laughter echoes like a distant son...

I stepped off the plane and saw the limo beside the hanger. Thomas and Susanne joined me, and we walked toward the limo. Josh got out and opened the back door. Edward stepped out, looking very confused, but he managed to smile. I ran to Edward, leaped in his arms, and kissed him hard. I held our kiss as his arms wrapped around me, and he pulled me tight. I was sure he had no idea what was going on. I broke the kiss when T...

It was close to four pm once the photo shoot was over, and Brenda said in a flurry, “My dears, it’s time for Champagne, and to relax and have a good time… You must all stay the night.” It was clear that Brenda was enjoying herself; she was in her element, entertaining. It made me wonder where this was all going, but I didn’t care as I was enjoying myself too and above all, the five of us were all bonding as a group of new...
