Protective husband four loves part five

I repeat myself looking from Jewels to Sara. “You have made me the happiest I've ever been.” Jewels giggles and says. “Are you happy enough to cook dinner for us?" I give them a quick kiss and reply. “I am always happy enough to spoil my loves.” I smile brightly, walked to the bathroom and quickly wash my hands before going to the kitchen. Once inside the kitchen I remove five stakes from the freezer and place them on the counter to defrost. I start looking through the other...

"I'm sorry we won't be here to take you to the airport, honey." "That's okay, Mom. Megan said she would drop me off," I replied. "But you're leaving again! I won't see you until Christmas. You know, Bob and I don't have to go." "No, Mom, that's crazy! Don't do that. It's fine, really. I'll call you as soon as the plane lands so you'll know I'm all right, okay?" She shook her head.

Cherish What You Got While It Lasts

When all of this happened, I was 23 years old and living in my own flat but in the same house as my parents and 15yo sister Nicole. Doors were never locked and everybody could freely go in and out. To be honest, we never really were a family in the normal sense. Sis and I were practically all we got. Parents were both alcoholics. Our mother was working in the morning and started drinking as soon as she got home and our father had his first beer for dinner. He was quite abusive. If we misbehaved...

SchlongChapter 5

I was in my English class and Miss Hulbertson was passing out the papers we'd written as homework the first day of school, commenting on what she liked about some and what needed to be improved with others. She already knew each person by name and could tell each one something specific about his or her paper. She had only one paper left when she came over to me. "Oh, Mark, I can't tell you how impressed I was with your paper about the Empire State Building. You made it seem so real, so...

They say She Loves Black, and I think you know exactly what they mean by that. They aren’t talking about a girl’s preference for dark clothing or goth-girl makeup, nor is it a reference to Metallica’s ’91 classic album, though I’d bet a couple of the tatted girls know all the words to Enter Sandman. Now, while those with cleaner minds may wonder about the catchy and clever title, all you perverts catch the reference immediately: this one’s going to be about white girls who love Big Black...

The second difference I recognized was sex. That realisation came while I was standing knee-deep in one of my favorite stretches of the ringriver. Just downstream of the canyonlands — what Mother called “antispinward”, opposite to the rotation of the ship — the river was dotted with a cluster of small islands planted with cherry trees. If you were daring enough, the island chain could be reached from the riverbank by leaping the foaming water via a series of broad flat rocks. Every 120 days...

It was impossible to believe that a baby could exist in her flat, firm belly, but there it was, projected and magnified in a hologram above her navel: two tiny yolk sacs with their fetal poles. Twins. I held Zuri’s hand, breathless in wonder, feeling her hand squeeze mine tightly. “That’s us,” she whispered. “We’ve always been a fecund species,” our mother said, then blinked. “I...

Spinward, the closest building of the polis remained a quarter of the way up the cylinder.

The bats were just beginning to come out by the time I made it to the polis. Avians had apparently never been successfully adapted to the habitat, for reasons we still didn’t understand; the only birds we ever saw were flightless rails, parrots, and some ground-hugging species. But bats had thrived, especially in the canyon and rainforest biomes, from where they emerged each evening to hunt for insects. We had taught the children to spot them at dusk by listening for the faint rustle of...

Fear of command was replaced with the immediate task of raising Hotene and Ananya, thoughts of the immensity of our voyage and my responsibility for it subsumed by the simple act of waking up...

LongshotChapter 17

“You are homo liberas. You will never grow sick, never wither or fade.” Repeating the words taught to us over the thunder of the falls, I raised a wooden bowl filled with ringriver water above Ananya’s head. While Zuri and I had retained Mother’s observances and celebrations, we’d remade many of her rituals. There were no death-defying plunges for our daughters, no endurance marches naked in the cold.
