Life with Linda

by LuvLinda

Chapter 6

I went home and the bitch was there. She was supposed to be at a horse show when I got there but she, instead, decided not to go. She wanted to know how things went with Linda and me. I told her that Linda and I had decided to go for it.

She acted shocked th...

Peter has got as far as "Well, I'd thought England, probably," when Jessica says, "Here," and that is the end of it.

She says it to her mother, not to him, and then something more in her own language, quick and low, and Mrs. Arapo nods once, as if a bill has been settled. The fruit goes round. Nobo...

Ross turned over in his sleep, the faint pattering of rain distantly audible against a windowpane behind a bed that wasn't his. Forcing his eyes open, he was met with the realization of something that would have been potentially devastating had he not anticipated it or accepted it, even.

The space ...

Cathy! Oh my!

With her anger flaming hot, she stormed out of the house, jumped into her car and tore off down the block, running the stop sign two blocks down the street. Officer Hill was sitting at the stop sign for the cross traffic and immediately pulled her over.

She jumped out of the car scre...

"Okay... that should be the last of the little brats."

I turned to our foyer and watched my goth girlfriend, Delilah, as she switched off all the outside lights. It was the suburban homeowner's...

Chapter 5

At first light I jumped into my truck and headed for the town where Linda lived. I wasn't exactly sure where she lived but she had mentioned that she lived near the airport and I was determined to find her. I got off of the highway at one of the exits and pul...

The nurse said that after the first day you forget. By the third morning Peter has decided she never wore one.

He doesn't forget in the shower, where he soaps round the steel like a man cleaning a tap. He doesn't forget on the guesthouse stairs, or when he sits, or when he crosses his legs out of h...

I had to admit that the new history teacher looked extremely hot. It had been a long time, years in fact, since I'd seen anyone that had immediately sparked anything approaching a romantic interest from me, but this guy was extremely sexy from the start. I'd been introduced to him in the staff room ...

Zan & Margaret Episode 1 - Tinder date sedates and milks me.

This is a work of fiction. All characters are adults over the age of eighteen.

I am lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. It's boring, I think to myself, so I roll over and do what any other twenty-something-year-old would do, by grabbin...

In Chapter 01 I told you how my recently deceased wife, Lynn, was pimping for me. Well to be slightly more precise she reappeared as a ghost, or spirit, or whatever (she didn't provide a good explanation of her status other than she was still very much dead) and expressed a concern that I was not ge...

Chapter 4

The home life was steadily getting worse if that was even possible. The bitch was getting worse all of the time and she was spending more and more time with her men friends. She wasn't getting in until 2 or 3 in the morning a lot of the times.

I really didn'...

Jessica has been in the arrivals hall for an hour, because she couldn't sit at home, and she has changed her mind about the dress twice in her head since she got here.

People come through the sliding doors in clumps. Island families, a group of men in suits, an older couple with a cool box. Each ti...

The sheriff swallowed hard and nodded; taking the phone from me and holding it to his face.

"Hello Mr. President." he said nervously. "Yes Suh! No Suh, I had no idea. Oh, he's toirminated, Suh! Oh, you can be coiten of that..."

The conversation faded, as I walked away. I didn't need to hear what w...

Hey all :) This is my first post and I'm nervous, but I'd love feedback on my story. Be kind, please!

She stood out immediately, of course. It was my first semester as a TA, but I'd been in grad school for a year already and had experienced my fair share of enticing undergrads. But she was differen...

I sit at my desk late on Friday afternoon, tucked away in my office on the upper floor and take a minute to just reflect on how things are going. I've been working on the deck to the other senior leaders, reporting on sales figures and projections for most of the afternoon, and have just given it a ...

Chapter 3

After the awards banquet I went back home to living in hell. The bitch was constantly telling me that I wasn't working enough hours. Mind you I was working at least 11 or 12 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week. Oh! And get this, she was working a whole 4 hours a ...

"Can you hold that?" Rachel yelled, stepping into the lobby of her building and seeing the elevator doors about to shut. She ran and barely made it inside, panting and rearranging the shipping bags in her hands. She was soaking wet from the near-hurricane that had been disquieting the city streets a...

Note: Thank You all for sticking with the story so far! Its been a blast for me as a person who just writes for fun in their free time to dive back into writing for fun. Your comments have been amazing, the positive feedback has done a ton for me mentally as well. I hope you enjoy the chapter! A alw...

There's a parade going on, and it's in your honor. Or, it's supposed to be.

You don't really feel like anyone is happy, or that this is any kind of celebration. And by "parade" you meant a procession of people dressed up in harvest garments and big horse hoop skirts. They were prancing down the roa...

How did it all start?

I was born in Canada when my parents were visiting mom's sister in a small city called Lethbridge, in southern Alberta. Mom was not due for 3 weeks and they decided to visit her sister. Cindy had met and married a young Canadian businessman who had three companies, all related...

Chapter 1

I was in my second year of college, but the first time I ever had to live out of my vehicle. There are too many reasons for why I'm in my current situation, but the main one was my parents wanted me to move home and attend the hometown college.

Did I rebel against attending the same scho...

Chapter 2

Life at home was pure HELL! I was, at the time, married to a total bitch. She was lazy as shit and all she wanted to do was constantly bitch, fight and argue. Nothing physical mind you but I was so tired of it all, especially the fighting and arguing! There w...

One line.

Jessica holds the test in her fingers and stares at the little window, and there is one pink line in it, and next to it, where the second one would be, nothing. Clean white nothing. She tilts it to the light. Still nothing.

"One line," she says.

On the phone Peter breathes out. It goes ...

Rachel squinted her eyes open at the soft sound of knocking on her front door. She whimpered in frustration and glanced over at her bright red alarm clock, which insisted that it was only 9 a. m. on a Saturday morning, meaning that the visitor could only be one of two people: Erica coming back from ...

This story, when originally posted, had some important errors (as well as my usual spelling, punctuation, etc.); so, I have been trying to correct them. It looks like the best way is to submit an alternate version of the story. So, in many ways this telling is a repeat of the original - but there ar...

This is my entry for the Halloween 2026 competition. There are some historical religious references, and this is a Lesbian romance (and an extremely slow burn, although "burn" might not be the best word to use, as you will see!), so if these subjects are uncomfortable or unpleasant, please find anot...

Scarlett wanted nothing more than for this moment to last forever. After months of feeling completely separated from the world around her, she now had an anchor that made her feel more alive than ever. Laying atop and beside Vanessa, head nestled against the crook of her neck, nothing else mattered....

Note: Thank you all for staying with the story so far! I truly have enjoyed writing this story so far. The comments have been lovely and have made the process of writing this so enjoyable. Now, as you got from the description, this is the honeymoon chapter, so its slightly spicier than normal, forgi...
