A few minutes after Naomi left, the door opened and the final candidate walked in. My first impression was she was very different from the other two in almost every way. Bella and Naomi had dark hair, were curvy, and had an innate sensuality about them th...
I sat at my desk and quickly flipped through all three resumes while waiting for the first candidate to come in. I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but it was strange to me that I was interviewing for a personal assistant when I’d...
Tuesday, 8:00 am My alarm pulled me directly out of a REM cycle with the noisy jingle of some factory-made generic tune, and I was in no mood to put up with its bullshit. Fingers blindly searched the side table beside the bed to find my phone; once they’d...
Chapter 11... The Present... "Well, it wasn't my idea!" Danny's voice was a strained whisper. We were in his room with the door shut. "I signed on as a fake girlfriend. Not to sleep with you," my whisper was just as quiet and strained. "I wanted a little...
Waking up in my hotel room at 8:00 AM, I made a mental plan for the day, starting with a shower, food, a workout, and then my 11:00 AM business meeting. I was hungry, so I ordered room service, just coffee, a fruit bowl, and a buttered raisin muffin. Sinc...
Monday, 9:13 am “This is a lot,” I said, staring at the ream of paperwork that lay before me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into the soft green eyes of the young brunette just above my right shoulder. She leaned forward to place a thin collec...
The lamp illuminates my desk, yet it is dark in my heart. Pascal betrayed my love of romance and abused my good nature. It hurts to be a fool. Is this what life is like now? Are all the good men taken? My mind is blocked, and my reawakened sexual urges ra...
The sound of my doorbell woke me from a restless sleep. Grabbing my favorite white terry cloth bathrobe, I half stumbled to the window. Barry's car was parked at the curb. I closed my robe over my flannel PJs and slowly descended the stairs. "Were you sti...
The days of the family’s summer gathering had passed in a whirl and Daniella knew that there was no turning back from the bond that had arisen between her and Bernat, her clever and attentive uncle, the academic at Barcelona University so different from t...
Seduction arises with the sensual brush of your lips against mine. Slowly, methodically, you unbutton my blouse, my body humming as soft, wet kisses dance a trail across the swell of my breasts. As you ease the gossamer fabric off delicate shoulders, gree...
Hannah picked up the envelope that she had left on the hall table the night before. Within were two letters but one had set her thoughts racing more than the other. She already knew that her housekeepers for the holiday home that she owned on the northern...
The scent of his cologne and the big bulge in his snug jeans, as he measured for new countertops, was putting ideas in my head. When he bent over the table with a calculator and pad to “run the numbers," I excused myself. When he called out, “I’m all set...
In whispers of desire, the heat of passion ignites As our bodies entwine in a dance of delight You tease me with your touch, a tantalizing caress My breath quickens, heart racing with each press Your lips find mine, a kiss so sweet But soon, they wander,...
What a strange thing Breaking free of death’s gravity The same eyes The same mind A body untouched by time Witness to an endless cycle of history I cannot bring you with me I will not bring you with me It is tempting, so tempting Your erect pink nipples U...
Priya Chopra watched the last children leave the gates at the end of the day and sighed, relieved that the working week was over. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy her job as a teaching assistant at a small Kingston primary school, nor did she have any exci...
