The neighborhood is big, so getting new neighbors is somewhat commonplace.
However, what is less common is having neighbors move in directly next door. Bless the Smith's hearts, but they unfortunately had to be transferred to a home. They were a sweet couple, having shared fifty years and never letting that joy die. Chris found hope in the light of their shared life. A love that was kindled steadily like a bonfire over the years.

Chapter 14- Kitty Rounds The Bases
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in the fourth game of the National League Championships at 3 o'clock on a Friday afternoon on the Phillies' home field, sweeping the first four games of the best-of-seven series and setting up a fully Los Angeles World Series against the Angels, who had beaten the Toronto Blue Jays 4 games to 2 the day before. The city, understandably, went wild with baseball fever....

You walk in to find a note on the counter with your name on it. "Ominous..." You mutter as you slough off your bag and shoes by the door. Making it over to the counter you rummage the contents. Two pictures, a receipt from our favorite accessory store, and a note tumble out.

Chapter Eleven
The Princess returned, leading Ambree. The older woman had a subtle hint of amusement on her face as she looked around the room, her eyes settling on the puddle at the back of my circle. "Yes, something is definitely wrong here," she said in place of a greeting.
"He failed the ritual again," The Matron explained. "This time, he almost killed us."...

Chapter Seven

The days passed with Jacob clinging carefully to his routines--morning guitar practice, exercise, work, evening painting--but with one notable difference. In quiet moments, his mind kept returning to the songs he'd shared with Jet, imagining how her voice might transform them. At night, he found himself jotting down additional notes, alternative bridges, counter-melodies that might complement her interpretations....

**THIS STORY HAS THE BEGINNING OF A HOTWIFE/CUCKOLD THEME - IF IT"S NOT YOUR THING THEN PASS ON BY**

Chapter 12: SUCCESSION
Gertie finds the next matriarch
It was on a beautiful early spring Sunday morning Gertie approached the young woman that Jake had only admitted on the drive over to the starting point of their walk that he had invited one of his work colleagues and her two teenage children to join one of the monthly rambles that Gertie had designed for young families to participate in....

Chapter Two

On weekends, he was a busker playing downtown by the farmer's market. There was a particular corner sheltered from the wind that, for some odd reason, had excellent acoustics--a natural amphitheater created by the brick buildings and concrete overhangs. Jacob had discovered it by accident nearly a year ago, when ducking out of the rain with his guitar case. He'd strummed a few chords and been startled by how the sound carried, clear and resonant, bouncing off the surrounding structures in...

Chapter One
The morning light filtered through dusty blinds, casting bars of gold across Jacob Whitney's bedroom. He stood before the mirror, his daily ritual of confrontation. The young man's face and neck were scarred, horrifically scarred--a gift from a maddened Pit Bull eleven years ago when he was just eight years old. A surgeon had done his best, but there was only so much he could do with flesh that had been torn and mangled. The scars ran deep, creating valleys and ridges across what had once bee...

Author's note

This was originally planned to be a more traditional epilogue, with just a snapshot of where the characters were 20+ years in the future. However, as I began to write it, I realized I wanted to go into some details of how they got there. However, I didn't want to get into a lot of detail. I settled on writing this as an extended epilogue which will give a bunch of brief snapshots at various key points in the future over the next 22 years....

Chapter 1

Marie was a Filipina who had worked in Dubai for several years as a nanny and housemaid for a rich local family. Her main task was to look after the older girl who was 15 when she started working there. Now this daughter, Noora, was 18 and she had applied to study in a college in UK. Her parents were liberal, so they agreed that Noora could study there on two conditions. The first condition was that she had to study in a smaller city and not in London because there were too many temptations...

Since her first visit to his house, they had gone to Andrew's every Wednesday night for dinner, which were generally intimate affairs with only the five of them in attendance. After several weeks, Andrew had to postpone their meeting while he flew to Vermont. His sister took a bad fall and he had to go back to check on her and his nieces and nephews, which made them postpone the visits and eventual sale by two more long weeks. While there, he planned to check out a few houses and might need to delay more to...

Mia nearly snorted her milk through her nose at the punchline of Toby's joke, causing renewed laughter from the rest of us. Toby, Laura, Liv, Mallory, Mia, and I were all hanging out in the solarium of the dining hall, enjoying a bit of after lunch sun. Outside it was a crisp winter day, but the cloudless sky helped alleviate the winter blues a bit....

It's time. There is an empty cup of hot chocolate sitting neglected on the desk. I stretch, the blanket falling around me, exposing my body. I've been on Reddit long enough; it's time to shower. However, after an hour of Ask Reddit After Dark, I don't just need a shower, I need more...
I saunter to the bathroom, crossing the living room. I'm naked; the windows are open, but I don't care. As I walk through, I'm bathed in the glow of a sunrise, and I can begin to feel the warmth on my skin....

Welcome to Happy Holes -- the world's first freeuse golf course comedy.
This is where it begins. Jules Ferris is one bad month away from financial collapse, armed only with a sun visor she refuses to wear, a club she doesn't know how to save, and a tolerance for heat that's quickly deserting her.
Thank you for being here at the beginning. Let's swing....

Introduction
This isn't the end.
It's the beginning you only earn after bleeding out every version of yourself that wasn't ready.
Zariah and Malik have changed. Not into something perfect--into something possible.
There are no more fights to win.
Just a home to tend.
A rhythm to share....

Three months.
Three months of sex, submission, sex-parties, public teasing and swallowing more cum than she thought possible without a pause.
What in the fuck had she been thinking?
They gave her a recovery day after the long day of edging at Andrew's place. But soon started a series of torments to push her to her absolute limits....

Chapter 21
The way Cash came at me, pinning me against he fridge, it appeared he'd been waiting for this moment. He kissed me hard and grabbed me by the hips. The little sexy number I picked out for him seemed to drive him wild. His fingers slipped beneath the elastic edges around my hips and slid lower, toward my groin....

Chapter 80
"I think you have guessed who I am at this point," Mitchell told him. "Am I correct?"
Falen met his eyes and then glanced at Allora before nodding.
"You are to be the next monarch. Allora, through unknown means, has managed to find someone who can bond with Awen. Despite being hunted and on the run, and despite not having the Council of Eight to cast the ritual. That is the only reason I can think that she would be back here."...

(Part 1 of 6)
Carter Wise was skeptical. He trusted his experts. He trusted his project manager. But when they proposed such a major course change, he would trust... but he would verify. As the president of Wise Automation, his stakeholders depended on him to make the right decisions. His experts told him Camille Smith, this overstuffed thirty-three year old woman, was the future of the industry. He had to meet her to be convinced. So far he could not be certain....

Introduction
Love isn't loud here.
It doesn't knock things over or scream down the hallway.
It tiptoes in the back door with groceries, kisses your neck while you're brushing your teeth, and learns how to say "I'm sorry" before the silence sets in.
Zariah and Malik are finally building something solid....

Into the Lion's Maw
Monarto Safari Park is the largest open-range safari park in the world outside of Africa, spanning more than 3700 acres, and is home to more than 50 species of exotic and native animals.
The four travelers had skirted the settlements of the subhumans in the south and ridden past the Wolf Lord's fortress, all without incident. They were currently only some three days distant from the valley, and Aran's forbidding tribe. No one had dared to speak about their plans once they reached t...

Chapter 11
I released the team and met up with Dr. Wassel, following him around the rest of the afternoon as the group went with Guy to meet the patients. I had several administrative duties to learn which I hadn't known were a part of my new responsibilities--scheduling, hour tracking, payroll submission. Sometime after four p. m. when my feet ached and I was ready to collapse from exhaustion, we finished up and he excused me. Thankfully there were only a few days in the beginning of training on my part...

Jake scanned the ocean, marveling at the sheer number of vessels seemingly crowded around the same area. The vast ocean suddenly felt tiny and cramped. There were pleasure craft, fishing boats, sailing yachts, mid-sized commercial vessels, and even a small party cruise ship. Everyone either came out for the slim hope of finding treasure or, in the party ship's case, they came out to have a good time and watch everyone hunt....

Chapter 77
The warehouse at the top of the stairs looked like it was being held up more by thoughts and prayers than structural integrity. Beams sagged, holes dotted the roof, rotted planks covered the floor, and the smell of urine was everywhere.
"Your friends really put us up in a nice spot," Mitchell told Lethelin, but gave her a grin to let her know his sarcasm was playful, not angry. She chose not to respond, just huffed and kicked some bit of wood across the floor and scowled. Her hand was insid...
