He wasn’t her usual type, but there was something alluring about him. Perhaps it was his generous nature or his hearty laugh. Or, maybe, it was how he seemed to know everything about her. It could even be the way he would pull her on his lap and tickle her neck with his soft beard. Whatever it was, she couldn’t resist him. As he let himself into her house, he asked, “Have you been naughty?” “Very naughty!” she replied. “B...

It was nearing the end of my workday when my cell phone buzzed. I was puzzled by the display. Meet me under the mistletoe at six. Unknown caller. I rolled my eyes—some idiot with a wrong number, most likely. Sitting in my office, I looked out the window at the dreaded snow. Sure, it was pretty, but since my ex took off with my best friend, shoveling all that white crap has become my responsibility. My eyes stung a little...

Olivia put on a flowery dress that didn’t show too much cleavage and headed to church. She caught Pastor Jesse's eye when she slipped into the pew as the service was about to start. Though the look on his face was sheer terror, he meandered over to say hello in a smooth, calm voice. “Well, hello, Olivia. It’s nice to see you again.” Liv smiled. She knew that an innocent bystander would think he meant here in church. But s...

My name is Keri, and I'm a blue-eyed redhead who works as a waitress/bartender at a local dive called the Sugar Bush Tavern. I do a little bit of everything there, including hosting Karaoke on Saturday nights for a large crowd of regulars. As a little girl, I dreamed of being a singer and making it big. Then my dad got sick, and I took this job so I could take care of him. Ten years later, he's gone, but I'm stuck in the...

Chapter Thirty-Seven Mac’s head was hurting when they arrived home. Reluctantly, he took one of the pain pills Grace had tucked away in his wallet so his headache wouldn’t get out of hand. While he was still annoyed, it was hard not to be grateful that his wife had thought to ensure he was prepared. They spent an hour or so with Dom and Addie before Grace said her goodnights and took DJ up to nurse him before bed. Dominic...

Chapter Thirty-Three While Grace and Mac were packing for their weekend beach getaway, Michael Stone filed the paperwork requiring Alice King to submit to prenatal DNA testing. Alice’s lawyer, Dennis Conrad, seemed to have minimal experience in such matters. His interactions with Alice made Michael wonder if Dennis was more than just her legal representation. The way he laid his hand on her back and grasped her hand seeme...

Chapter Twenty-Nine Mac and Grace stepped outside their front door with their attorney, Michael Stone, to face the throngs of reporters. It was time to set the record straight about Alice. “Holy hell,” Grace said under her breath. “Why are all of these people here?” “You are a power couple in the business world, and people find you both very interesting,” Michael said, holding his hand up to quiet the crowd. “Good afterno...

Moans of ecstasy filled the air, but I didn’t know who was expressing such pleasure. As I searched the space for the source of the cries, I saw the dark-haired figure between my legs and realized the moaning was me! Strong hands squeezed my breasts as this person indulged themself on a feast of my labia, my clitoris, and my pussy. Whomever this was stroking, licking, nibbling, and sucking in my most feminine areas was not...

"Hey Georgie, what's the special today?" Sgt. Dan Lewis said as he plopped down onto the stool at the counter of the Pelican Diner. "Chef is out today, Sgt. Dan, but I can warm up some of yesterday's meatloaf for you or get you a good hearty bowl of chicken gumbo." "Gumbo sounds good, Georgie." "Ya want coffee?" "Nah, how 'bout an icy cold Coke?" "You got it!" Georgie put a little extra ice in his glass and gave him a han...

Chapter Twenty-Five Mac woke up before the alarm and was pleased to see there would be time to seduce his wife before they had to get up. She was still sleeping, but he was sure she wouldn’t complain when she woke up and figured out what he was doing. Grace stirred as his hands moved down her body, landing on her bare mound. “Mmm, touch me, Carlos,” she teased. Mac laughed. “That will cost you, my sassy redhead.” He strad...

A conversation overheard: “So, how’s that lazy daughter of yours?” “Patricia’s much better. She’s living with some guy, master chef, and he’s training her to keep a good house and her man happy.” “Oh, yeah?” “Yeah, she said he’s really cracking the whip; he’s got her slaving away, down on her knees a lot.” “Well, good for Pat.” “Yeah, but he must not be very bright.” “Oh? What makes you say that?” “He bought her a choker...

Olivia stood in her office, grinning at the fact that she was officially Darko’s partner at Hot Wife Hotel. Oh, she was still a hot wife, keeping a handful or two of her favorite clients, but she was also in charge of new recruits. Darko wanted to expand and was only too happy to give that project to Liv. She had done an incredible job of finding women for the recent sex auction that had been a smashing success. In fact,...

Chapter Twenty-One Grace was in her office looking over the monthly reports when her phone rang. “Yes, Avery, what’s up?” “I have Max Becker on line two for you.” “Wonderful; thanks!” She held her breath, hoping the news from Munich would be good. “Hallo, Grace. Wie geht es dir? Alles Klar?” “Hi Max; Alles Klar.“ “Are you sitting down?” Her stomach did a flip-flop. Max and Brendan O’Sullivan, their European consultant, ha...

Chapter Seventeen With the help of Max Becker, who ran the Munich office, and Brendan O’Sullivan, their European consultant, Grace Remy Stewart devised a very effective plan to encourage a whole slew of German companies to switch from doing business with Adelburg Technologies to Stewart Enterprises. While it wouldn’t guarantee that every firm would jump ship, it was a good bet that many would do so. Of course, it would al...

Chapter Thirteen Since it was Saturday, and there was no need to rush to get ready, Grace took some time to herself in the library while DJ took his morning nap. Mac was downstairs on the phone with Max Becker, discussing the possibility of acquiring Adelburg Technologies. Kurtis Adelburg was considered a gentleman with an impressive business sense and was looking to retire finally. He’d reached out to Max, who ran the Mu...
