"Wha the... Hey!" a voice from the other end of the hallway interrupted the beatdown.
The assailant paused with a foot cocked in the air for another strike. The momentary pause gave the victim time to scoot over a few inches and prepare for a block attempt.
"Stay out of this, Savard. It's none of yo...

Damn it, Alexia, stop looking up there!
Alexia Ramos lowered her curvaceous body, pumped her arms and legs, shifted her powerful hips, and turned her body 90 degrees to the right.
The Chris Weathers pass arrived just as she emerged from her break--on target, but wobbly as hell. Alexia reached out he...

Danielle moved through the crowd like a pro. She knew where to step and which direction to move in so that she was always moving ahead of the party. What could Bill want she wondered? Had she forgotten to do something before she came out onto the floor?

Wednesday, being the prep day for the feast, was supposed to be an uneventful day. Funny how that doesn't seem to work out.
The first hint of trouble at ten in the morning was the ping on my phone, followed by buzzing on my smart watch. After the dinner party, I had reset the smart watch to only ale...

The next morning, I awoke to a voice in my head.
"Come to the mirror," Ambree said.
I did what she asked, and this time, I didn't have to decipher her from my own reflection. She was already there when I arrived, sitting on the carpet in her home with her legs folded in front of her. "This morning, ...

Katie woke the next morning warm and secure. After hours of sharing and being shared by Savvy and Jerry, the trio collapsed into sleep with her sandwiched between the two of them. She exhaustedly drifted off with Savvy's hand on her tit, the last warm kiss the two of them shared on her lips, and his...

"This is good Aunt Marie," Danielle's cherry voice said, "What else do you have in it besides slices of lemons?" She grinned as she sat her cup down on the picnic table. She knew that to ask was one thing and to be told was totally something else. Aunt Marie wouldn't tell her. She never gave away he...

Chapter 3 EVIE
Gertie slept in late the next morning and her mother allowed her to stay in bed a little beyond her usual time for once. Her father had already left for work by the time his daughter got up and listlessly put on her dressing gown. Gertie thought her left cheek looked really red in the...

That day, my girlfriend and I went to watch the F1 race. By the time the race ended, it was already late at night; the sky was as dark as ink, and the temperature was chilling. Our stomachs were growling, and we decided to find a restaurant or a small shop for dinner.
As I drove, I spotted a restaur...

Author's note: The working title when I was in draft was "The Rehab". Then I stumbled on the excellent story of that title by Literotica writer DreamCloud. If fixing things and smooching turns you on, I recommend you read that -- after you finish this of course.

"Marie," Uncle Matt's voice carried down the hall to Danielle who was getting dressed for work in her bedroom. "What's wrong with John?" He pointed out the window. "He's passed here five times this morning. That ain't natural."
Marie looked up from her sewing and frowned. "I don't know. Things have ...

"Didn't you drive out on thirty-three last night?" Marie asked Danielle during breakfast the next morning as she spread butter across the top of her toasted bagel?
"Yes, why do you ask?" answered Danielle still feeling full from the nice dinner.
"Well it looks like Ben had an accident on that road l...

Chapter 2 BUS HOME

The night was long for Chuck, the ex-groom. Danielle had heard about it later as she picked up her personal items and was heading out the door toward home. Chuck had to admit he'd fallen for the princess, but he couldn't remember who the princess was. His bride had fled the party in tears. All commu...

Claire sat curled up in her favorite chair, her hands wrapped around a glass of wine she hadn't taken a sip from. The words from the gym still rattled around in her head, refusing to settle.
"Emily and Jonathan were an item."
The very idea of it made her stomach churn. It wasn't possible. Was it?

Chapter Twenty-Nine
Four months earlier....
The next morning, I wake up feeling refreshed and exhilarated. In the shower, I find myself humming Candlelight by Relient K.

"I'm telling you, I didn't miss a map last night!" Phineas insisted once they'd gotten back inside Jake's old sedan. "I fucking didn't!"
Jake raised his hands off the steering wheel as if to indicate that he hadn't said anything. Of course, he'd been about to until Phinn realized it. Still, the athl...
