romance stories and histories

It had been a gray, drizzly day. The wind was finally calming down, but it was still dreary and unseasonably cold outside. When I first spotted her strolling across campus, she was like a bright burst of color glowing in a black-and-white movie.
She seemed like the kind of girl I had always found ma...

Chapter 24

The road reeled out in front of us, gray and even. This far east of town, the landscape had flattened into a seemingly endless rock-studded expanse of tough yellow-green grass, gnarled shrubs, and the occasional stubborn tree grasping at whatever spare water it could find. We'd already p...

Amy's Longing
Amy sat in the passenger seat of the S Class Mercedes which was being driven by Ron, the very tubby, balding business executive. In the pocket of her faded denim jacket was the £50 he had paid her for a blowjob. Ron was a regular, one of many and Amy, along with several of the other gi...

It was July 3rd, and I had been spending the week at my daughter's house in Maryland. Emily was the oldest of my two children and I had been divorced from her mother for almost 40 years. For 10 of those years, I raised her and her sister Jane by myself before remarrying. My second marriage had also ...

Disclaimer:
This story is a direct sequel to Wanting. I highly recommend reading the first part before diving into this one; it'll hit harder, and things will make a lot more sense.
I don't know what this night will mean tomorrow. But right now, in this room, with her--this feels like the most hones...

"Ugh, I really don't want to put on my old clothes." Avery sniffs, giving the discarded outfit she threw onto the now-wet bathroom floor a pointed look, as if they're dishrags and not higher-end pieces.
Chris snorts, trying and failing to control his amusement. Avery rolls her eyes, clearly not appr...

The second installment in the D + D series. Daniel visits Delphine at her vacation home on the island of Corsica. The rugged natural location serves as a contrast to their first meeting in Paris, and brings out something a bit bolder in them both. If you liked "Tuesday in Paris", but wanted a little...

BURNED MAN
Bambi set her phone down quickly and turned back to the vanity table. Red hair whipped around her shoulders damply, and somewhere in the back of her busy mind, she realized she'd have to braid them before she went to work. Tired doe brown eyes scanned her bedroom at a glance, and she sigh...

Part 1 - Player 2 Has Entered The Game
Chapter 5 -- Happy Birthday Abi
The house had never been this full before. The warmth of so many bodies close together just added to the electricity in the air. Every room downstairs was full of drunk, giddy people.
The sound of idle chit-chat was mixed in with...

What do you do when you are feeling lonely and horny at the same time, but don't know how to unleash the wild animal in you?
Sexting, isn't it?
It's the only option I have, since you know, I love my best friend and his girlfriend.
Pretty fucked up, right?
It's frustrating that out of 7.8 billion peo...

Quaking
Note from Author: This is the same story by the same name that was posted a chapter at a time nearly a year ago. It has seen heavy editing since then--hopefully making it better. It is the second full length novel I wrote but the first full length romance. I was still writing in third-person...

I don't really remember why I thought my wife was cheating on me. There's a saying somewhere that you could look at the various pieces of a puzzle and have no idea what the whole thing looks like until you put all the pieces together. It was easy to look at the individual pieces and come to the wron...

I would like to think you need to read the previous chapters to enjoy ERIN to the max. But, your decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erin is something of a wine connoisseur. There are the beginnings here of a solid collection with over a hundre...

It was my last case that made the decision for me, but I'd been contemplating it for the last two years. I was thirty-three and had worked for Jansen, Fogle, and Meyers since I graduated from law school. JFM is a major Chicago legal firm and they specialize in the criminal and civil defense of peopl...

Opportunity


I

(Cupid took aim when the opportunity presented itself. His arrows flew true to their mark, driving deeply into the hearts of those below him.)
Cathy Dumas had fled to the countryside to escape a bad relationship. Her ex-boyfriend Derick's toxic masculinity had ruined what chance the...

Thursday
Harry and Olivia had just finished watching the last part of a film they had started watching a few days ago. The ending had been dramatic and it took them a couple of minutes to get their brains around the story.
"I know what I want to do with the rest of the evening," Olivia said, now tur...

Jules took the corner seat and tugged me in after him. A warm palm on my lower back pulling me down into his lap. Trevor took the opposite bench and flagged the waiter with a smile, like this was any other dinner.
I squirmed, awkward, aware, underneath the tablecloth of every inch of thigh exposed b...

Kate listened to the doctor's initial prognosis: torn ACL and MCL; the MCL tear was probably minor and would heal on its own, but the ACL would need surgery. They would confirm with an MRI in the morning once her swelling settled. She tried to remain stoic as the Doctor explained that with surgery, ...

I look into her eyes as I hover above her. Nervous, searching. Hers are just as unsure, flickering between fear and something deeper. I can't tell whose heartbeat I'm hearing, mine, hers, or some shared rhythm drumming in the silence.
She's scared. So am I.
Three years of friendship hanging by a thr...

Was she just a Friend With Benefits?
Again, I'd like to thank kenjisato for the great editing and my dining friends for their input. If you find any mistakes, it's probably something I did after editing.
Active sexual activity only involves characters over the age of eighteen. Any similarities to pe...

Hello all! I'm releasing a new series today and plan on uploading weekly chapters on Wednesdays! Before anything else, I wanted to give a brief synopsis to give a better context for the story.
This story follows two best friends who get Isekai'd into a cheesy Erotic Otome game they're fans of. The m...

During my visit to Paris for a travel article, I encountered a woman named, Portia. Her elegance was immediately obvious in every graceful movement of her statuesque body. She appeared to be 5' 10", with long legs, slender arms and delicate fingers. Her hair was a rich, raven, split in the middle an...

====================================
Two young and accomplished people meet at an academic conference and wind up spending a magical week in Paris that will transform their lives forever. This is the beginning of a series that includes exhibitionism and voyeurism, group sex, and hopefully a good dos...

To those who wait for love

I attended an Eastern university on a soccer scholarship and loved the experience. However, I later regretted two things about my college years.
I slept around too much. I was out of control, constantly repeating the walk of shame. I ultimately real...

Chapter 23

I goggled for a moment, unable to process what I had just heard. Cary's indignant squawk was background noise to blood rushing in my ears.
"Are you kidding me?!" Cary was not-quite-shouting. "Samantha!"
Threesome? Cary had promised Samantha a threesome with me? My brain had vapor-locked ...

I was born to a whore. She could not afford spending money on my studies so she handed me to her pimp, The Pimp. When he wasn't on top of me, he taught me literature and mathematics. He himself had a really bad taste in literature but encouraged me to read classics and whatever I wanted. While he sa...

Memories of a Physio Student #2


- A story that is at least partly autobiographical -

Prologue:
With my mood at my absolute lowest, I pushed down the lever on the mixer tap, abruptly stopping the shower. As expected, I still felt no better than the day before. Luckily, at least the mirror was comp...

Author's Note: This story is based on fiction, and all characters are 18 years of age or older. The setting for this story takes place in the early 2006 when MTV was in its prime as the source for musical information. Those of us who have ever fawned over a celebrity will appreciate a story like thi...

It's 7:30 on a November night and it's pouring rain and I was supposed to start driving to L. A. two hours ago when I see the flashers up ahead. They're so weak I not even sure they're on, but then I see...
