We enjoyed our newfound intimacy, quietly and tenderly adoring each other as Jasper kept hopping into his pretty master's lap to be in the middle of things. There is nothing like love when it is new,...
We lived —or rather had lived —in a society which had come to view the father as almost superfluous. But people of common sense knew better. For a boy growing up, it was someone who could show him how...
We passed close to the docked cruise ships, Temptation and Fascination. Cruise ships are never named Discontent or Exasperation.
We sat next to each other. The sound of the locomotive and the smell of the sea drifted in through the open window. It did not go unnoticed by either of us that we were alone and without recent memory...
We were in those dark early days of the war at the time, and the outcome was very much in question. Lake's appearance at the event was a morale booster for civilians and servicemen alike. She was stan...
Well! I said huffily, doing my best Jack Benny impression.
We’re certainly glad to have you aboard. You’re the top man in your field. I can think of no better case to start you on than that of Laura Blake. If one didn’t know that she was completely delusional...
What I remembered best, however, was a darkly sensual Ecuadorian girl as tender, hungry and insatiable as any I'd ever encountered. She was engaged to one of the Ecuadorian airport personnel but from...
What a magnificent girl. She is spring, in all its glory. He shook his head. I have seen and done so much, my friend, I wonder if I will ever experience spring again. Perhaps I am too far into autumn...
What happened on that tiny island off the coast of Cuba called Flowering Cay at times seems like a half-remembered dream, one of those groggy remembrances that you’re never quite certain you didn’t ju...
When someone dies without ever having experienced the joy of it, never really had someone love them in their heart, it leaves…well an ache, an echo if you will. It's a void of regret and sadness that...
Where’s Steve Wilson and Lorelei when you really need them? said Beverly with a sigh. I know! replied Nancy. The two girls smiled at each other, easing the tension.
Without being able to explain how I knew, having no more experience than I had in such matters, I instinctively realized that she was extraordinarily beautiful. Yet hers was the kind of beauty that wo...
Wyn could never be afraid of death, because he had already died, that night, so long ago.
Wyn could never understand why men expected to do the most dangerous work there was, the maintaining of law and order, were paid the least. People expected things to be kept peaceful, but when it came...
Wyn noticed Jace had what appeared to be a copy of Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone. He smiled to himself.
Wyn saw the freshly laid railroad tracks, and spotted the spires of San Felipe with its white crosses pointing toward God’s home, and knew he’d finally reached Albuquerque. He glanced behind him at th...
Yeah, that’s it! There’s these gorgeous paintings on the arches. Now, they ain’t my cup o’ java, mind ya, but it’s gotta be high class, cause one them women’s topless, and ain’t nobody pays her no att...
You rarely saw the celebs protesting anything of substance. The Glades weren't a sexy enough cause, but give the latest blonde-haired twenty-something who'd just hit it big on TV six or seven horn-tai...
You see, here’s my problem. You got a look. I saw that look on a lot of guys during the war. A lot of ‘em had trouble after they came back. But they weren’t killers, not this kind anyway. So, I’ll lis...
