• I don’t really do lazy days. Okay, yes I do. I like movie marathons, usually The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. Well, okay, there’s James Bond, Highlander, Harry Potter, Tremors and—cringe—Twilight… Gentleman Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch… But no, I’m never lazy. Nope. Not me. How do they make me feel? Pretty…

  • His Little Nymph

    Darling woke up next to him a few hours after sunrise. He didn’t need windows to know that morning had come; he could feel it, he always could, that point of transition. The setting sun was the domain of the beast, and the dawn belonged to the man. She stretched—of course she did. With no…

  • Successful People

    When I think of success, I don’t think of one particular person, but a type of person. There are plenty of rich, famous people who are miserable.

  • Separation

    Lothar’s life would become a hell that not even the bravest soul could withstand; burning day and night for redemption, for the purging of sins that could never come. Eternal torture in the absence of all that was holy. Separated from his faith, his goddess…

  • There are really only two principles that I live by. The first is the law of reciprocity. When you give freely of yourself it always comes back to you. That doesn’t mean you never say no, or do away with boundaries. It’s more like filling your own cup first and then giving away your excess—love,…

  • Lothar reached out, catching her off guard. She jerked back before realizing his intentions. His palm formed neatly around the back of her head. He drew her closer, Danielle having to take two steps to meet up with him. She looked at his face as he hovered there over her, his scent obliterating Nick’s. “I…”…
