Deuce and Josiah are enjoying each other's company. They're in one of the local bars, sitting side by side. Aria's partner continues to pretend they are a couple, by showering him in pet names, but Deuce doesn't care. Beyond the Latino's obsession for all things attractive, lies a warm friend....

“All right, class,” Miss Andrews said, closing her arithmetic for the last time this year. “You’ve all done very well. Have a pleasant summer, and I’ll see you all back here in September.” There was a sound like subdued thunder as two dozen pairs of bare feet scampered down the aisle of...

It was almost midnight on a Friday, but the last few students hadn’t left the Simpson College library yet. Chad Tucker, bored out of his mind, sat perched on the high stool behind the check-out desk, waiting for the clock’s hands to seep upward so he could go through the building and kick out...

“Twisted Amaretto, please…” This time, the voice ordering sounded impatient and annoyed. Julien was flustered as it was working the main bar alone tonight, and it didn’t help that it was game night. It was loud, crowded and the college kids were unbearably rowdy. He had been working...

Jennifer was getting ready for the night with Jim. They had been planning this for a few months and to her surprise she was getting very excited for the evening.

She smelled like vanilla. Standing at the other side of the room, he watched her walk through the door and his pulse quickened. She moved with a feline grace through the crowd.

Whilst Amy was enjoying her complimentary wine, she settled her back towards the seat. She has just boarded the aircraft in Los Angeles on her way to meet her online lover. During the moment she sat, relaxing images of what Steve would have had about her appeared in her mind. That was the moment she darted into the fantasy of her heart.

Off in the distance, the cries of some exotic evening bird warned its neighbours of a dangerous intruder into its territory. It might have been another bird, or a big cat, or a monkey; the tropical preserves of northern Kenya were still a wild place, being kept that way by well-equipped park rangers...

This was perhaps the most foolish thing she’d ever done—but that didn’t mean she was going to turn back. Amelia Lancaster took a deep breath and glanced up and down the quiet street. It was dusk, and she was wearing a dark cloak and a bonnet with a deep brim; it was unlikely that any of her...

There he was. I stood there stunned and perplexed. I couldn’t fathom a more handsome man. I felt a tingling inside of me, and down below. I saw him jogging by, his hair, his luscious pecks glistening with sweat in the sunlight as he ran with his dog, which I found to be extremely sexy – a man...

Dal giorno in cui i suoi versi furono scoperti, rilegati in piccoli fascicoli riposti in un cassetto, il genio poetico di Emily Dickinson risplende nella sua inclassificabile e sorprendente intensità. Nata ad Amherst nel 1830, nel cuore dell’America puritana, trascorse quasi tutta la sua vita nella...

Amanda stretched her body out beneath the Cancun sun. So far, her impromptu vacation had been worth every dime. She’d spent leisurely hours on the beach and garnered a nice tan to return to Nebraska with. A frown crossed her face. Nebraska. She had to go back. It wasn’t her favorite thought. As...

Eric looked at his watch, it was 4:15 and he was supposed to meet Sandy at the beach in a half hour. His work loomed before him like the Great Wall of China. He had to make a decision as what to do since his boss had not been happy with his work performance as of late. His mind searched for an answer...
