Friday night was supposed to be reserved for Rhea's husband. She promised that she would be at Andaz by 8pm, but she was still on the 68th floor of her law firm. Rhea wasn't a named partner... yet. Understandably to achieve her dream of becoming named partner, some sacrifices had to be made... right? As Rhea finalised her case, knowing she had to be at the restaurant, she took herself to the copy room. There were no paralegals hanging around at t...

Fire Escape Neighbor
Spring was brutally hot and sticky. To make matters worse, the air conditioning in my apartment building wasn't working. And building management didn't care. Their only efforts toward repair were lip service. My fourth-floor apartment sweltered day after day. Sleep was elusive and fitful....

This story had been sitting on my computer for nearly four years, until the characters demanded their story be told. It another deep exploration into the mind and heart of a man whose problems of the past keep interfering with his joy in the future. Sex is not a major part of this story, so if that's why you are hear, you might want to look elsewhere. Please let me know if you enjoy it!...

Chapter 8

Prom season had come and gone, and graduation loomed just a week away. We Three Musketeers were about to head into a paintball arena to get bruised and splattered by hard pellets. Jack's paintball friends had set up a day-long event, and Jack had invited both Cary and me. Because I was eighteen and stupid, I assumed that I would be naturally good at it. After all, I had seen Commando and First Blood several times each. Cary was a little nervous on the way over, but excited....

"I'm calling about the ad --"
"How did you get this number?" Eli Morrison had been annoyed by prank calls on his cell all morning long, but this was the first time anyone had used his father's land line.
"Um. There was a flyer posted on the board outside Dr. Morrison's office. It said he needed help organizing his office," the voice on the phone replied....

**Chapter 6: The Fall of Faithfulness**
The drive back from Pinewood Forest was a silent hell for Vanessa. Greg hummed off-key beside her, Tyler slept in the backseat, and her pussy ached--a sore, sticky reminder of Ethan's cock. Her neon pink thong clung to her, soaked with his cum and her shame, the green tank top and khaki shorts she'd worn all weekend now feeling like a slutty costume she couldn't shed. She'd been faithful for a decade--Greg's high school sweetheart, a virgin 'til him, a good wife, a...

Damaged but Unbroken

Prologue:
This story is set in a world of monsters and magic, in a land of kings and queens and petty lords, and in a time of peace following a long and brutal war. This world has dragons, manticores, wyverns, feral wolves as tall as man, and all manner of nightmare beasts. Though humans have been hunting them for a thousand years, their numbers never seem to wane. The only upside to living with them is that monster parts can be used for powerful potions and healing salves thr...

After my wild night with Samantha I wasn't surprised we slept until 2pm the next day. I woke up a little bit before she did so I was able to lay there, staring at the ceiling, thinking about how lucky I was. Ive been pining for this woman for so long, and I crossed so many milestones so fast! I kept thinking about all the faces she made, and the different states of mind her moans put me in. It was like I became my base primitive self for that brief time, grabbing her and using her body for my own purposes. ...

Chapter Twenty-Eight
"I got it!" Gabi exclaims, bounding into our room on Tuesday afternoon.
"Got what?" I ask.
"Got the internship!"
"Congratulations! What internship?"
"You're looking at the next intern for the U. S. Secretary of State. Sir Anthony Blinken, himself!"
"Wow!" I say with earnest enthusiasm, though, to my shame, I had no idea who our Secretary of State is. "That's amazing, Gabi. I'm so proud of you!"...

Being a bachelor at 27 definitely has its perks. I won the lottery last year, after taxes it was just shy of 5 million. I've been able to live quite comfortably, as you can imagine. I used 3 million to hire an investment group so I can live off the money I get back (not that I understand how it works). I put 1 million away for a rainy day, and I spent the rest on a decked out loft and a reliable car....

The Bell at Sapperton... God, I loved that place. It was the kind of pub that just seeped into your bones, all old stone and the scent of brewing beer. I felt like royalty pouring pints behind that worn wooden bar. And me? Well, I'm Lily. Twenty-four, a redhead -- the kind that burns bright, if you know what I mean. Long, wavy, the colour of a sunset after a bloody good storm. And blessed, I certainly am, with a figure that draws eyes like moths to a flame. Tonight, I'd slipped into my tightest jeans, the o...

Two people who see each other, day in and day out at their workplace. If anyone paid close enough attention to their actions and body language, it would be clear, that they should be together. Yet each one is attracted to the other but never acts on it.

Her thoughts -
I'm in the military, so I work in a very male-dominant job. The ratio of men to women is about 150 males to every female. Sometimes, it can be even higher. There are strict rules about not having relationships with...

Chapter 5: Tangled in the Tent
The air in Vanessa's tent was thick with the scent of pine and sweat, the faint gurgle of the forest stream outside barely audible over her ragged breathing. She lay on the sleeping bag, her white silk robe splayed open, tits heaving as Ethan's tongue lapped at her pussy. Her clit throbbed under his hot, wet strokes, her juices dripping down her thighs, soaking the fabric beneath her. She'd kissed him thinking it was Greg--her husband, bathing in the stream--but the cock sl...

Caitlyn was excited as the small propeller plane reached its cruising altitude. Looking out the window, she saw the full expanse of the Okavango Delta - the winding waterways surrounded by grasslands and little islands. Her adventure had begun.
She had always lived according to her parents' wishes. She had endured her mother's insistence on beauty pageants, attended their College and pledged her mother's sorority....

This is a continuation of 'Personal Assistant' which was written in 2021. I would recommend starting with that story first. The plan is to continue this series weekly.

Derick and Mary stumbled into the bathroom, their laughter echoing off the tiles as steam began to fill the small space. The wine had loosened them both, their inhibitions melting away with each sip. Mary turned on the shower, letting the hot water cascade down, and pulled Derick in with her. The spray hit their skin, washin...

Chapter 1: They Meet
It was 8:30 to be precise.
The service was starting at 9:00.
"Shit," Jasmine swore under her breath.
She had left the house this morning hoping to get all her work done by 6:00, but today, of all days, things weren't going as planned. Mom is going to be so mad at me, she thought....

Author's Note:

To the joyous passing of years


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

There was a cheerleader at our high school I wanted to ask out. I summoned my courage and approached her, but she laughed and said she couldn't be seen dating a nerd.
I wondered how she knew I was a nerd, when I had never known that about myself....

An Almost Perfect Life

John Cromwell
My life was pretty close to perfection, until it wasn't. I had a beautiful wife, four wonderful children. A nice six bedroom home in the suburbs with only fifteen years to go on the mortgage. Our three car garage was full with a sedan, an SUV, and a minivan. Our biggest problem was ...

Fire Cracker

The Ghost of Fuckings Past
Sabrina
Sabrina leaned upon the bar. She twirled a loose ringlet of hair about her forefinger, banding it in honey blonde. Her eyes drifted longingly to the mosh pit dance floor.
The Bat Cave was a grunge dive wannabe now trying to extend its existence into the post-COVID era by looping pop from the past three decades. A fun, Selena Gomez, hit had sent a technicolored crowd of women into a tizzy of waving arms and sexy sways. Sabrina would've had the t...

Hockey Jersey
After a long day of work he came home, setting his laptop on the table, and thereby literally leaving his work at the door. While he expected to find dinner made, there was a note on the remote, as she knew that it was his second favorite thing on earth, saying, "Join me in the bedroom. I have your outfit picked out for the night."...

E-novel. Cheerleader Call Girls.
Chapter 1. Addie Hunold.
Addie Hunold found herself outside a big house, it being the last on her assigned route to sell the school journal and magazines subscriptions to raise money for the Varsity Cheerleading Squad. The young girl was already frustrated, she had only sold around a hundred dollars, and she has already knocked on more than 24 houses, and finally reached the last one....

**Epilogue: Echoes of Sin**
Five years had passed since Vanessa Larson fled Franklin High, her teaching career a smoldering wreck, her marriage intact by a thread of lies. She and Greg settled in a quiet suburb three states away--new house, new jobs, Tyler off to college. She worked retail now, a boutique manager selling overpriced scarves, her days mundane, her nights haunted. At thirty-nine, her body still turned heads--tits fuller, hips wider, a MILF in every sense--but the fire in her eyes had dulled...

Hi everyone! This is the start of a three part story involving some of my favorite characters. It might end up all over the place as far as categories go, sorry about that! Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
Sasha woke with a start. She blinked behind her sunglasses, rubbing at the sore spot on her forehead where it had leaned against the window....

YES CHEF A GREENVILLE STORY
Preamble Ramble: Even though its mentioned several times, East Carolina University is in several stories and based in Greenville. If you love purple and yellow you'll love the real Greenville. Why do I use ECU, because I visited Greenville and thought it was a cool school and one of the bigger ones in the state. Even though they suck in most sports....

"Mom, I'm bored. This street sucks. There are no kids my age. Everyone is old. There's no one to play with. All my school friends live far away."
His mom smiled. "Ned, a new family just moved in, three houses down. I've met them, and they seem nice. They have a daughter your age. Why don't you play with her?"...

Please read previous chapter to get into this story.
It took me a couple of weeks before I could fly back again to Alexa. We had been writing emails but then we were busy again with our own lives. We still wanted to meet but my schedule didn't permit this.
Finally, I could travel back to her. And I was excited to see her again....

I was putting groceries in my car at Walmart when I heard someone call my name.
"Abby!"
I looked around, but the glare from the sun was blinding.
"Abby!"
The voice was closer now. I put my hand up to block the sun and saw a tall guy walking towards me, smiling. He was around six feet tall with shoulder-length blonde hair and a nice body. He looked good in his jeans and had a manly face, tight beard, and mirror glasses. He was pretty hunky looking but I had no idea who he was. He barrelled toward...
