I laughed as I tackled him against the couch, pushing him against the cushions and trying to hold him in place while he wriggled under me. It had been my idea to "wrestle," by which I in fact meant play this dumb game where the first person to take the others socks off wins. It was clearly and shamelessly an excuse to have my face inches from his while our bodies were pressed together, but that doesn't mean I wasn't also...

Nora Olivia pulled a chair out, ushering Nora to sit. As she took her seat, Nora caught that now-familiar scent of sea salt and sage. She breathed in deeply, wanting to commit the luxurious fragrance to memory. “You look incredible,” Olivia said, her eyes scanning up and down Nora’s body as she took the seat to her left. Her gaze lingered for a fraction longer on the exposed skin of Nora’s thigh. The high slit in her dres...

Near the bottom of the lake, Vari, and her sisters Mayani and Linh, gathered around their mother one last time before striking out on their own. Mother reminded them that while larger bodies of water, such as lakes and rivers, might be home to many naiads, each in her own cove, inlet or bend, smaller bodies of water, such as ponds or springs, might have only one. "You'll have to swim hard and choose quickly," Mother said,...

Valeria couldn't stop thinking about the night she had with L. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. L invited her to visit Hell to help her make a decision she didn't even know was an option. To stay in Hell with him, or to return to Heaven to live with God and the other angels. Deep down she loved what she experienced with L and to experience that again anytime she wanted was extremely tempting. Not only...

It had been about a week-and-a-half since Chelsea’s frustration had come to a head, and we had unplanned and unprotected sex for a second time. The first time had led to us being confused and distant, this time seemed to have had the opposite effect - we couldn’t get enough of each other. We weren’t being sexual, or romantic even; no kisses or honestly anything that would seem all that out of place between and brother and...

Her words embarrassed him more than his exposed member. He never knew he could react like that. He never knew he could feel like that. It was so intense for him, feeling her lips meet his skin and bite his thighs. Her lips were so gentle, they were affecting every cell in his body. Her fingers, so close to his entrance, were making him hazy. He couldn’t help himself but moan out, “Please!” “Oh, no. You don’t have to beg,”...

Diari didn't mind the Romulan and Klingon making out to her left. They were too busy with each other to pay her any mind which suited her just fine. But the cowboy to her right was being a drunken pain-in-the-ass. "Oh, I just love the angel costume. It is so cool, especially the wings. They are so lifelike! Are those real feathers? And your halo, how do you get it to stay up there like that? You must have wires or somethi...

I teach second grade. It’s fulfilling work, but exhausting. I spend all day barking orders and trying to cajole seven-year-olds to follow them. When work is done, my bossy-pants come off. I don’t want to make decisions, plans or threats of sending anyone to the headmaster’s office. I don’t want to give orders; I want to take them. I want to relax in the security of someone else’s control. My boyfriend’s situation is just...

Holding my curling iron in one hand, I turned to see his options. Both neckties were striped; in his right hand, Mitch had a gray, black, and white tie draped over his other, a gray and light pink tie. I pointed to the more colorful choice. "I think a little color would be good," I commented, pointing at the one with pink highlights. I also chose that one because the pink was nearly a perfect match for the lip color I had...

The early evening sky was aglow with subtle hues of lavender and blue, and the air had a frosty chill as I steered the Benz into the entrance of the underground parking lot at the Grand Hotel thirty minutes before I was to meet Mr. Sebastian in the lobby. "Evening, madam," the valet said as he walked to the driver's door. He opened the door for me, and as I slipped out, his eyes traveled up from my white stilettos across...

Maddox, Cassian, Kai, and Lyra were captured and imprisoned by the dragon riders of The North. They sat around a small fire in the center of a dark cave, enclosed by a set of thick gold bars. They knew the only way to escape was to power up the Pyrine Stone and use its power to unlock the gate at the cave's entrance. The stone's power was dwindling, as was the magic inside the three males, thus rendering it impossible to...

As Mac carried BJ up the stairs and felt her warm skin on his, he knew he was getting aroused. How does she do that to me, he thought. When they got into the bedroom, BJ saw that Mac had laid out wildflowers on the bed, the bedside tables, and even on the floor. “ Wow,” she breathed, “How did you manage this?” she asked, gasping slightly, filled with her own arousal. “You had to cook breakfast sometime, and luckily for me...
