"Honey, I need to talk to you," Anna told her boyfriend. "What's up?" asked Joe. "So you remember Danni, my friend from work?" "The cute Southern Belle with nice ... assets?" he asked, miming breasts. "That's the one. So I've talked to her in the past about how we've had threesomes and swung. I guess she told her fiance, and they are interested in doing a swap." "Really? Well, I know I'd be interested in Danni. How's the...

Minnie gazed into the mirror of the mall bathroom. She wore a red miniskirt over white thigh-high stockings, no underwear. On top, she wore a sheer white blouse. Again, no underwear. She undid several buttons, maximizing the view of her ample breasts. After one more look in the mirror, Minnie grabbed her purse and headed out. The mall bustled with shoppers. With two weeks until Christmas, peak shopping season was underway...

Holly enthusiastically flung open the door of her tiny downtown loft. “Thank God you’re here! The young woman exclaimed. “Please, come in!” “No worries, it was the least I could do,” Clark responded, smiling warmly at his wife’s little sister as he stepped into her minuscule apartment. “It’s your first place on your own. We’ve all been there. As soon as Ellen told me that you hadn’t even unpacked your Christmas decoration...

Mrs. Green lived at the end of our road with her two kids, a girl of about 8 and a boy of about 10. I think I remember there was a Mr. Green too, a long time ago. My older sister would babysit for Mrs. Green twice a week while she went out, midweek and Saturday evenings. Three months ago, my sister was going to a friend’s party on Saturday and asked Mrs. Green if I could stand in for her. I was sixteen and a half, a quiet...

I stood in front of my college dorm in a summer floral dress, waiting for my boyfriend, David. A white VW Passat roared up, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw David behind the wheel, flashing a big smile. Once inside the car, I leaned in to kiss him, but he glared. "Don't slam the door so hard. My car is sensitive," he snapped. I pulled back, fuming, crossing my arms tightly as he drove off. His car was his life, and...

The protagonists I am Simon, a semi-retired academic, based in London, and I am known for taking on unusual assignments, but always delivering. Somehow, through the grapevine, I have been offered a very lucrative trip to Canada supposedly to research a rare text held by the Quebec Library, and write a review for academic publication. My only qualifications for this task are a (poor) grasp of French, an analytic ability to...

Charles's breath came in ragged gasps as his fingers dug into her hips, pulling her to him with a steady rhythm. “You’re so fucking gorgeous,” he growled, thrusting deep into her dripping pussy, his cock stretching her pussy tight around him. “God, I love fucking you.” Charles Worthington, an eccentric billionaire infamous for his taste in younger women, was utterly lost in the moment. The woman sprawled naked on his desk...

Introduction In the late Middle Ages the Black Death, the greatest and most deadly outbreak of infectious disease in history, ravaged Europe, eventually killing between one third and a half of the population. The disease, which is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, was carried by fleas living on the rats that were found in ports and on board ships, and humans were infected by the bite of a flea. Transmission may als...

Several years ago, my lover and I spent a few days at a lake resort. The lake cabins were roughly fifty feet apart, so if someone got loud, the neighbors would have a pretty good idea of what was happening. On our second day, I thought it was time to hatch my evil plan, my lover, Jerry, had no idea what was about to happen. So, I suggested, "Why don’t you go outside and enjoy the lake? I have a few things I’d like to do,...

She sat perched on the edge of the bed, her wavy red locks framing her heart-shaped face as she gazed up at me with those piercing green eyes that seemed to draw me in like a magnet. A sprinkling of light freckles danced across her cheeks and chest, adding a touch of whimsy to an otherwise striking appearance. Her green sheer babydoll lingerie clung to her curves in all the right places, accentuating the lush swell of her...

My company recently moved into their newly built office building. It was sleek and modern, with a high-tech security system that required employees to swipe their ID cards to enter. I needed an ID card, so I headed to the IT office to get my ID set up. Upon arrival, I was immediately drawn to the handsome black man working there. As an Asian woman who grew up in a predominantly white and Asian community, I didn't often en...

Prologue – 1924 He cautiously made his way down the narrow stone steps. He could sense the answer was here. All the rumours, the stories–he was finally going to discover the truth. Here, in this small building–in this hidden room–he would prove that it was all a lie; that there was no such thing as ghosts, or wit… It was the tiniest of sounds, but the hair instantly rose on the back of his neck. He turned, and the blood d...
