Eliza stared at her phone for the hundredth time that evening. She opened the app again to check if he'd responded. Nothing. Three days since their last exchange, and the silence was becoming unbearable. They'd never gone more than a few hours without messaging since connecting six months ago. Their daily ritual of morning texts and nightly voice messages were as reliable as sunrise. This sudden silence felt like a ruptur...

The day of the flight, Chris was a nervous wreck. His tall, broad-shouldered frame paced the length of his small apartment, his short brown hair flecked with gray damp from the sweat of his mounting anxiety. His brown eyes, usually steady and thoughtful, darted to the clock every few seconds, betraying the storm of nerves brewing within him. Across the ocean, Rose was a stark contrast to his turmoil. Standing a little ove...

In the earlier years of our marriage, my husband, Kevin, and I realized that we’d done almost everything we could think of to keep feeding our extraordinary libidos in a monogamous relationship. We discovered the wonderful world of the Dominant/submissive lifestyle and embraced that with gusto. I signed a sex slave contract and gave myself to my Master willingly. This led to our foray into BDSM and my realization that pai...

As the night falls, and the moon shines bright, Two lovers connect in the dim moonlight. With fingers poised and hearts ablaze, They begin a game of desire's craze. A man and a woman, miles apart, Linked by technology, but one in heart. They text each other in the late hours, As their bodies yearn for intimate powers. He tells her he's thinking of her luscious lips, As he caresses his throbbing shaft with fingertips. "I w...

The sweltering heat was brutal as Mike reached the sweet relief of the air conditioning. His team was in the process of inspecting the warehouses and loading sites which had made for excruciatingly long days. Mercifully, it had been an early day. They had been at it for hours and being able to get out of the heat and off of his feet was all he had been looking forward to. Mike plopped down on the couch in the small studio...

Mike pushed open the door to the convenience store and walked between the shelves towards the back. He looked at the selections of drinks through the glass doors until he found what he was looking for. An ice-cold Dr. Pepper, just like home. They weren’t sold many places in the area, but he had been here long enough to become acquainted with a lot of the local stores and what they had in stock. As he walked to the checkou...

Chapter Ninety-Five McKinley Stewart was exhausted. His flight to Los Angeles had been delayed twice, and there had been a miscommunication at the Bel-Air Hotel, leaving him without a room for the first night of his stay. He thought about asking his admin, Avery, to make alternate arrangements for him. Instead, he decided he could figure out a plan after looking at the office to evaluate what damage had occurred during th...

It started innocently enough with anonymous chats. You and I were both members of an online group of amateur artists, though you were, and still are, far more talented than I could ever hope to be. I liked the mellow vibe of the group; most members weren't edgy or precious about their work. The vast majority simply wanted to improve their skills while learning from others. The community also fulfilled my need for socializ...

Sometimes love hits unexpectedly. Sometimes it hits when you know it shouldn’t, and you must abstain. Sometimes you try all you can to abstain, but one moment of desire and weakness shifts everything. Then after that moment of weakness, you pick up the pieces and move forward. I was excited to meet you for the first time. I knew my feelings for you were strong already, but I was able to contain them after all these years...
