romance stories and histories

Continued from Zöe Part 1
We drifted off into a deep sleep. Next morning, I was awoken by the sound of the balcony door sliding shut. Zôe was outside having a smoke. I stayed where I was and savoured the delicious comfort of the bed linens and the lingering aroma of Zöe and the previous night's love...

You Never Know Where - Chapter 1
By Nutmegman
I finally made it back home to stay, after months in California, finalizing the sale of my software to a huge company out there. I finally could get back to my exercise routine and get back into shape.
I was jogging around the baseball field at the Schoo...

Friday
Harry had no experience of this kind of website. He was astonished at the range of things on offer and also astonished at the cost of some of the more elaborate models.
He had woken that day not wanting to waste any time following through on Olivia's request from the previous evening. To say ...

'That was... intense... evening.' Holt stood behind Aleera, hugging her tightly. The ball finally ended and they returned to the 'Silvery Flame'. Now they were in Holt's cabin, surrounded by darkness, enjoying the sensation of their bodies pressed against each other.
'Was, as in has ended already?' ...

[I am not even going to try to catch you up on the events that precede this story. If you want to know, go back and read the others. I recommend it. But then again, I wrote it - so there is that.]
REVELATIONS...
My heart was racing. Laying breast to breast with Gracie, I could feel her heart beating...

Witters Note:
This is a slow story (also my first,59 chapters have been written editing is going on for them), non-erotic in the beginning though there is teasing up to chapter 15 where the full on on erotica starts. Uploads for the story would be weekly ranging from 2.5K to 4k words each. The story...

Port Howard, West Falklands, March 1982
Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere had already begun in March with its usual storms. It was not without reason that sailors and seafarers of past centuries who had ventured into the South Atlantic for various reasons had dubbed this region the "Roaring Sixties....

Carrie was supposed to be looking for--what? A deed? A birth certificate? That fucking folder Angela swore was somewhere in "one of the green bins in the guest room closet." The closet that smells like plastic and garlic salt. The closet with three decades of Catholic guilt boxed up in Jo-Ann Fabric...

NOTE: This is a companion story to Randy's Sow. They are intertwined.
WARNING: This story has a harsh beginning.
Ming Lee was born in China. She had a very rough life. When she was twelve, her parents and her were arrested by the Chinese authorities. They never knew why. After two years in a "re-edu...

It was a little after three in the morning and someone was banging away on my doorbell. I pulled up the ring cam and saw a woman standing there holding a toddler. Lightning lit up my window followed by a thunderous boom as I raced down the steps. I opened the door, and the woman said, "Can we come i...

To those who find true love again


--------[]----[]--------

After Marci left I was reeling over the knowledge Marcia had sent Marci there to have sex. I thought Marcia and I had a moment. Apparently she was only a scout. Or worse.
Tuesday night, the doorbell rang. Marcia. With food.
"Hi Marcia. Yo...

He wakes up and immediately reaches out to touch her, eyes still closed and heavy.
She's gone already. Or maybe, she was never even there. Sometimes it's so hard to remember. He sighs, and tries to find the will to open his eyes. Because if she's gone already, what's the point? He grunts, and rolls ...

I suggest you read the previous chapters, you'll enjoy the next two chapters more if you do. This has been fun.

Guess how many people were in our bed the next morning before breakfast...

This story is a slow burn. You do not need to be familiar with the fictional characters Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter to enjoy the story. That said, I'm hoping fans of the characters like how I handled them.
[Chapter 1] is fun, but it's mostly character development
[Chapter 2] leans hard into Romanc...

"That was the perfect day," I said wistfully as we sat beside the fire watching the last of the light drain from the sky in a show of spectacular warm colors. I'd started the day enamored by your truck as I pulled onto the camping beach. I parked nearby to get to look at it and dreamt of building mi...

"This is silly," I whisper, glancing around the bright room.
"It is not. It's the oldest science."
Cam and I sit side by side at a glass-topped wrought iron table in a stranger's sunroom. Cam has been sitting for exactly ten seconds and already he's sprawling like he owns the place, ratty cutoff jea...

Blair waits until she's out of sight and then makes a break for it, booking it down the halls in a way that's very unbecoming of nobility, or anyone wearing a ridiculously flowy skirt for that matter.
She's not used to such feminine clothing, having always opted for more casual stuff back home. Swea...

All I Want (standalone; one-shot)

R. D. Oliver (2025-June-14)

The Teams meeting ends and I shut down the webcam before putting the desktop to sleep. Now alone, I take off my glasses and rub my eyes. Gods, I'm tired. The home office is a dozen time zones back from where I am, and their business d...

Becoming Monsters is the creation of AiLovesToGrow, setting used with permission.
The idea for this story comes from Amethyst Dragonfly. With special thanks to TheNyxianLily for help brainstorming this time around. Oh, and fans of Forged in Fire might recognize a reference or two in this chapter.

This is basically an erotic love story and of course all characters are over 21. It will not start out as a love story, but it will get there. The Gardener contains BDSM, bondage, exhibitionism, and lots of kinky sex. If you don't like these things then this story may not be for you. Please vote oft...

Loving Who You Are
I like to write romance stories about people of a certain age finding love for the second time. This is one of those stories.

It was a Saturday in June. The sun was bright, the sky was clear, and a young woman we both worked with was getting married for the first time....

The Test of Time

Tom stood in front of the old house with a weariness that wasn't just radiating from his aching joints and muscles. It also lived deep in his soul along with something else that had been growing over the last few months he been unwilling to name yet out of fear.
Taking a firm grip ...

Arriving at her parents Botswana home, they barely had time to drop their bags and have a coffee at home before her father announced they had to leave.
"Right, we've got an hour before we're due at Auntie Sharon's. Aiden, why don't you take the downstairs guest suite? That way, we all have our own b...

Author's note: There is NO SEX in this story. So calibrate your expectations accordingly. But if you're feeling cloudy, hopefully there's something here to help you feel a little warmer. Also there's a cat (:
Thank you to thatsbogus for being the testing ground for my melancholy meanderings.

All of my writing is fiction, and the stories and characters are products of my imagination. They were created for my fun and, hopefully, your enjoyment. Some of the events in the stories are not particularly condoned nor encouraged by the author, but are there to create and enhance the story of the...

After spending several weeks at sea, Ricki's contract with the cruise company was coming to an end. A lounge singer for the past few years, Ricki had a voice that was probably destined for greater things. Unfortunately, years of bad management had relegated her to less than glamorous gigs, including...

She pushed through the door with fading strength, exhausted from a long and difficult day, the creaking of the older hinges mirroring the aches in her body. She dragged her feet over the thr...

Note: This is the second chapter of a larger story. I strongly recommend checking out the first one before reading this one.
Note 2: This is a slow-burn, slice-of-life, friends-to-lovers romance story first and foremost. There will be erotica, but not for a long, long time.
Huge thanks to ChaoticTwu...
