But hearing Charles joke with her told her he, too, had a sense of pride and accomplishment as they worked in tandem with the rest of the staff on the nightly cleanup.

Loni stretched out atop her bed with a contented sigh, a warm smile spreading across her face as she squeezed her eyes shut in satisfaction. Mathew had surprised her earlier in the day with a picnic at the beach, his eyes twinkling as he had presented her with a picnic basket filled with her favorite...

In three days it will all be over. Six months ago, I met Mr. Westwick and my life changed—completely. Six months ago, I was your average college freshman. Late nights cranking out term papers. Trying like hell to avoid the “freshman fifteen.” But since starting my internship—sexcapades—with...

Daisy glanced across the pool to where Jack was emerging from the water. His skin was bronzed and he had sleek muscles over every visible inch of his body.

People say that if you come back to your ex boyfriend or girlfriend it means that you never even stop loving them. From my experience I can say that this is not totally true.

There was a time when I wasn’t so distraught and depressed. There was a time when I could get any woman in the world. All I had to do was walk by them and their panties or thongs would have fallen right off their smooth shaven legs, and I simply would suggest taking the party back to my place, and...

My name is Jennifer and I had just been accepted into the Ivy League and was more than ready to take on the world! I stood there looking at my new dorm room, which was slightly bigger than I thought, wondering where I should put my things and what sort of roommate I would get. SO exciting! "Let's...

At last the war was over. Now it was time to savour the fruits of victory. General Alice Webster, Supreme Commander of the New Federation of Women, the body that as of today would govern Earth, strode down the long hallway towards the soundproof room at the end. Several guards along the way (all female,...

Shirley boarded the plane and smiled to herself, she was taking her first much needed vacation since she could remember. Her friend Veronica suggested that she go, she even paid for the ticket to get her out of the city and to a small villa in France. Shirley had her passport for 4 years and had never...

It wasn’t until the fourteenth of July when Brooke Jenkins first saw Drake Willings. It makes sense why it took so long for them to finally meet. Brooke Jenkins worked as the head librarian at the Marquette Library. She was a shy, calm, collected, and very smart woman before she met Drake Willings....

Aster wanted the new kid more than he’d ever want air to pierce his lungs. The distance between them was excruciating, like a knife forever lodged in his chest. Having Lyre so close, yet a million miles away, was akin to being held underwater, chained to his own death. And sleeping at night? Just...
