Arlene and JeffChapter 109

Jeff watched Jennie lead Hope to the other end of the kitchen where Jennie and Melissa started showing Hope how to help out with breakfast. Every now and then Hope would look back at Little One, Hope seeming to make sure that her mind hadn't been playing tricks on her, and that there really was a small alien in the kitchen. When Jeff again held his collar open, and Little One flowed in to spread across his back, Hope couldn't take her eyes off the process. Jeff smiled at her, and left to...

Arlene and JeffChapter 115

THE RETREAT, THURSDAY EVENING Jeff, Diana, Arlene, Laura, Joyce, Hope, Jennie and Ann were in the living room, most of them watching the news. Most, because Ann was snuggled to Jeff's side while they lay on a recliner, and she had no interest in the news at all. "Hope will see us," Jeff whispered in her ear as he trapped Ann's hand when it slid nearer his groin. "I know she's had problems, but are we supposed to pretend there is no sex in our home? I'm going to cuddle with my man....

Arlene and JeffChapter 120

HOSPITAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA The HAZMAT team was on the scene. The patients along the hallway were being moved to other areas in the hospital. The assassin's body was gone. Finally Whatley thought it safe to move Hanes. The nurses, red-faced and streaming tears, maneuvered the gurney bearing Agent Hanes' 'body' out of the suite and into the hallway. The city police and the agents in the hallway came to attention and solemnly watched as the gurney was pushed toward the freight...

Arlene and JeffChapter 164

Jennie walked into the alcove just as Arlene sat in her father's lap. When the kiss was over, the young wife stood, her eyes locked with Jeff's. "There's a suite right there," she said, pointing vaguely. Diana came to her feet. "I think that's a wonderful idea." Jeff grinned as he stood, "Well, it's not as if I'm going to complain." The Queen walked behind, a smile on her face, as Jeff, with Jennie on one side and Arlene on the other, their arms around the Prime, started for...

Arlene and JeffChapter 165

MIDVILLE, WYOMING The tour of the area completed, Bill and Luther sat in the preacher's living room sipping coffee. The women had left to go visit someone. "I hate to pressure you, but have you and Megan decided anything about the vacation?" Bill asked. A slight frown flicked across Luther's face. "I ... I suppose I still feel guilty for even considering such an expensive ... gift from someone I barely know." "You know my wife, and the gift comes from her, too. And she and I both...

Hunting SeasonChapter 2 Gathering Clouds

Putnam Mississippi didn't strike James Yancy as a very friendly town. Of course he wasn't catching it on its best day. Take away the crime scene tape, chalk outlines of fallen law officers, and blood and Main Street would have probably looked inviting, in a rustic sort of way. The fact that thirteen locals and one John Doe had taken a violent and premature trip to the mortuary probably accounted for the people of Putnam being less than effervescent. Yancy looked at his quiet, brooding...

CastleChapter 2

She took a laptop computer, then went on line somehow. When she finished her research she said, "This one is an ace inhibitor. It might control your heart rate and your blood pressure. Since you aren't going to be shot at again, you might not need the other blood pressure one. However, if it goes up again, you are going to take the pills even if I have to dissolve them in your coffee. "Most of the others are crap to make you relax. I don't figure you are going to need them anyway. I am...

B la Book 5 New BeginningsChapter 7

It was hours later. The conversation was more relaxed and had turned again to their favorite pastime, hunting. But instead of the guys hunting the girls, Annalisa wanted to reenact the gunfight that Jake had told her about during their first night together. “Well, we’ll need guns,” Tabatha said after eagerly volunteering to be the other participant. “Where can we get some?” “Elaine, Dawn and I have practiced how to find stuff,” Annalisa told her. “You just think of the form, and I’ll find...

Play Ball Winter JenningsChapter 2 Breton

Walker, pimp-rolling, “You feel me, dawg?” Vanessa, glorious smile, soft fist-tap, “Dawg.” Clint called me, right before I left for work. The kids were on the Max, heading for their schools. Clint’s calls weren’t frequent, weren’t annoying. Steady, that was the word. Having earned a Ph.D. — with Honors — in Men, I suspected gonadal twinges. “When are you coming to New York?” “Short-term memory loss? I have a wife. A family. Career.” “When are you coming to New York?” “Hit the...

Mad Cowboys and Alien FucktardsChapter 13

Look, I know my drovers aren’t the best fighters, and it’s no secret their combat experience is limited as fuck. I’m well aware of that, but the last few goddamn weeks have toughened their resolve. And that has to count for something ... progress even, as most didn’t have that when we first started out. Sure this won’t cause them to shoot any straighter or punch any harder but at least they now have the stones to pull the goddamn trigger and to defend against any son-of-a-bitch trying to do...

The Pool GirlChapter 53

It was Sunday night at about 7 PM and I was far from home. I was in my suit the girls picked out for me in Miami. A maitre d’ looked at me. “Reservation?” “Yes, uh,” I realized I couldn’t remember her new last name. “I just realized I don’t know her current last name but I’m meeting someone here. We’re old,” I almost said ‘friends’ but instead said, “acquaintances. She is in her mid-thirties and this tall.” I held out my hand about a head’s height beneath my own. “Sorry, I haven’t seen her...

Or Die AloneChapter 7 Fraternization

The weather was good enough that the wind didn’t carry away their voices, and they didn’t have to fight against the elements just to walk. Were it not for the freezing temperatures it might have been almost pleasant. Lorza tried to make small talk, and for once he didn’t spurn her, their proximity to salvation and the clear sky putting him in an unusually good mood. “So are you ever going to tell me what you really do? You’re obviously not a miner. I’m asking honestly, not trying to get...

Joanna and the Sea DevilChapter 4

The after gun crew of the Seeteufel waited until the vessel turned and they had a clear field of fire. Firing over their own stern-quarter they risked blowing away the shrouds of the mizzen mast. When they had an uninterrupted view of the French patrol boat they opened fire. The 88mm Krupp gun cracked, brown smoke erupted from the muzzle, and they all looked to see where the shell went. Capitaine Krusenbourg of the RFS Chasseur saw the flash from the rear of the German sailing ship and held...

Junior Year Part IIChapter 30 A Kiss to Build a Dream On

I drifted awake in a sea of warmth, feeling both languid and content. I was thinking of the exquisite feelings from last night when I started as I remembered who I’d spent the night with. That is if I hadn’t been dreaming. I sat up abruptly and looked around me. ‘Thank God,’ I sighed with relief. It had been a dream. The body keeping me warm was Duke. I picked up my phone and called Adrienne. “I had the best dream last night. It involved you and Kate.” “I wonder about you sometimes. I...

A House in Disarray13 Accountability

Em leaned over, pushing her hair back as the harsh winter wind blew everything aflutter. “Man, I am not ready for this. I had ... a bit of a ... rough night.” Doug grinned over the image of his partner suffering. “Attempting to blur uncomfortable memories?” She rolled her eyes, something she wouldn’t be able to do in a few minutes. “Worse, I spent the night discussing details of the shooting with an angry mother upset at the idea of stray bullets around her precious baby.” Doug smirked,...

Prekrasna IsidoraChapter 9A Nika s Story

Nika glanced over at Garth as they cruised along the Interstate toward western Maryland. She liked what she saw. He was tall and lean and had the most piercing blue eyes. Just like mine, she thought. He radiated self-confidence and charm. No wonder the ladies liked him. Is he seeing anyone? She wondered. Garth stole a glance at Nika's legs. Hot! He thought to himself. Very sexy! I wonder if Trent got into her pants? I wonder if I can? Neither Nika nor Garth noticed the white sedan...

Passionate Fugitive FamilyChapter 6

The first attack came that night. Liz was awakened by Ricky shaking Bob. "Show time, Dad." Her husband pulled a big revolver out of the bedside table as Didi crawled in beside her, and Ricky locked the door as the two men left. Both women were speechless, clutching each other on the mattress. They hardly breathed as time dragged. When they heard a volley of shots ring out, Liz began crying in fear, but Didi went to the window and looked out. A couple of minutes later, she whispered "I...

Two Broken RoadsChapter 3

Sunday morning was a flurry of activity. I went to Laura’s house at 10:00 to arrive at church in time for the 10:45 service. Laura greeted me with a light kiss and I noticed two pair of eyes taking it all in. “Misser Ben! You kissed Mommy!” Mattie exclaimed somewhat loudly. “Yes, I did, Mattie. I like your mommy! Is that okay?” “Okay.” She smiled. That was enough for her. Laura went to get her purse and keys since we were using her car. Hanna pulled me over and I expected to be given the...

Pinwheel RemasteredChapter 7 Trial by Fire

We marched for a while longer, Vasiliev and the wounded Krell hanging near the back, with the armed humans at the front. We’d figured out how to use the shield projectors, they were handy little things, devices about the size of a wrist-mounted computer that could create a barrier of plasma roughly the size of a garbage can lid. If we came across more Bugs, we could use their own tactics against them. “You doing alright, Raz?” I asked as she walked beside me. “What, this?” she asked as she...

Lucky Jim 2 Student Farmer Volunteer Pickup Truck DiplomatChapter 24

Thursday I found that I really enjoyed the few minutes of watching the dogs chasing each other in the morning. Their carefree enjoyment lifted my spirits, especially after finding the human remains yesterday. I also began to better appreciate the individual personality and sexuality of each woman in the harem and worried less about one or more wanting to leave the relationship. I had no idea why I was less worried about it, but I let the worrying drop, just like I didn’t wonder anymore why...

Death and a Life in Emerald CoveChapter 37

As Jan was having a showdown with the woman she credited with saving her emotional life Bryant was sitting across the desk from a fifty-year-old gray haired college professor. The man, Noah Lowry, smiled warmly as Bryant entered and offered a hand for the man to shake. Bryant took the hand as Lowry gestured him to a chair. "This shouldn't take long," Lowry said. "You've been through this before and I worked for the Miami PD for a dozen years as a consultant. So, why don't you just...

Lucky Jim 1 FirehairChapter 8 New Orleans

Apr 22-29 We encountered far more traffic on the lower Mississippi River than on the Missouri. With the wider, more traveled river, our boat continued traveling at night since the moon was full enough to provide some light. After eight continuous days aboard the boat, I was eager to be back on solid ground, able to move around and go places without worrying about missing the boat if I delayed too long making purchases in town. As it was, I had already sent back enough building supplies to...

Hired Gun From Santa FeChapter 19

Sam’s brother sat down with him the next day right about the time that the sun was at the point when no living creature or inanimate feature cast a familiar shadow in any direction. They both ignored the womenfolk because it was not really a visit of familial devotion. Saul had discovered the reinforcing cavalry troop had some wanted posters for him for a long forgotten shootout over irritating conflict about water rights in the valley after the Texas beef herds got established in the area....

InnocentChapter 10

I didn't enjoy hauling two dozen corpses across 17 miles of countryside until we could find a marshal that we could get to take the dead gunslingers and give us receipts. As it was, we had to pay for the funerals. Fortunately, we were able to collect that much when we sold the horses, tack, and guns. Oh, well, the $965 in bounties we collected paid for the aggravation. Hell, between the adventures at Laredo, River Bend, and Cotton Boll, we had enough money to quit for the summer and we both...

This Is Your Carstairs SpeakingChapter 17 The Faint Light at the End of It

Well, there we are: the final chapter. You have until January 1st to read this story before I make it available to premium members only. Your comments are welcome and if you find you like this sort of thing: there’s plenty more available on my site. – RD It rained. I think it should rain, at funerals. Most people stood under black or transparent umbrellas, but I wore a Macintosh over my black suit and I just didn’t care. I needed to focus on not crying. Rain on my face might help to conceal...

Love Never ChangesChapter 5

Danny Sullivan looked at all of us entering Diamond City and simply shook his head. “Welcome back, Mister Valentine.” Nick nodded at him in passing. While we were climbing the steps, Nick looked at me. “I need to go meet up with Ellie. If you could give me a few minutes before you come to my office, I’d appreciate it.” “Not a problem. I think we have a few things to trade. I need to stay stocked up on ammo, anyway.” At the bottom of the steps that entered the city proper, Nick headed for...

Death and Love in MarjahChapter 3

A china-faced doll and a computer programming package full of science and math info and games, both wrapped, were stuffed into my overnight bag. The rest of my crap was packed up and shipped down to Ft. Benning. The day after the call from my sister I was called into the Commandant's office and thanked for my service but Uncle Sam had better things to do with my skills than teaching wanna-be Lts. how to fight hand-to-hand and lead small units in combat. While I agreed, I told him (honestly)...

AdriftChapter 2

Adrift: 2 "Mr. Mack?" "Jimmy?" "I need some advice." "How can I help?" I took out my little vial of gold. "I need to find a way to market this." "Where on earth? Jimmy?" "Out of the river." "You're kidding?" "No sir." Mr. Mack took out the Financial page from the Grand Rapids Press and studied it for a bit. "Ah." He stuck a finger on Metals and followed it down to Gold. "$430.50 today, Jimmy. I have to go to Grand Rapids tomorrow. Do you want me to see what I...

Slingshot BillChapter 2

I was telling y'all about moving close to Austin an' getting another wife but I wuzn't gonna tell you no more unless you told me how y'all liked my story so far. Well, enough of you said you did that I decided to tell you a bit more. The other wife comes later in my story so I better not get ahead of myself. The ranch we bought belonged to a widder that wanted to move to Tarrant County where her son now lived. She already sold off the livestock an' everything else so there wuzn't much...

The ExhibitionistChapter 4

My disguise consisted mostly of a change of clothes into something a bit more flamboyant. The belt around my waist was covered with silver conchos and I had red ribbons tied around my legs just above my knees. This seemed to fit with the attire of the local tough guys, and I did not shave that day. All in all, it seemed to be an adequate departure to keep me from being labeled a Gringo without a second glance. I started visiting cantinas to try to get a line on The Tarantula and maybe...

Rendezvous IIChapter 18

Karen I knew, when I was at breakfast, all those weeks ago, at the Silver Spur, that I had changed. That I was attractive, to men at least. Now, I knew that I had been dressing wisely, because these were boys my age, young men, ready, willing and hunting for it. My nether parts spritzed ... just a little. A sign to me that maybe, just maybe, my body was ready, willing and looking to be found. My brain said NO, my body said YES. If we were playing Hide and Seek they could have found me at...

DilemmaChapter 7

The next two years sort of evaporated. I never knew life could be so full. Cindy might have been a minister, but even with two babies at home she was anything but stodgy. Her energy and joy made each new day a wonder. Oh, and who would ever have thought a guy like me could learn to have so much fun at church parties? Cindy loved being at home with the twins, but still found time to do a fair amount of writing. She also loved to fill in on Sundays for ministers who, for one reason or another,...

FirebrandChapter 14 Under the Gun

“We recovered the email chain from his inbox,” Boyd said, Moralez holding a finger to his ear as he marched along the torus. “He’d deleted the messages and done a couple of overwrite passes, but reconstructing the files from the data fragments was pretty simple with UNNI tools. It’s exactly as he described, the guy isn’t hiding anything from us. He’s been pretty forthcoming since he woke up in the interrogation room.” The Chief’s eyes scanned the scrolling text as it appeared on his...

Leap of FaithChapter 3

The Rookie – Occupied city center, six hours after drop. The distinctive sound of a Phantom soaring by overhead greeted the Rookie as he opened his eyes groggily, his head pounding as he looked around the interior of his battered pod. It took him a moment to remember where he was, and what had happened, the memories coming flooding back to him. The slip-space rupture, the crash ... where was the rest of his squad? The monitors and readouts were all either too damaged to make out, or hissing...

MagicianChapter 65

“I think we’re going to try, at least to see if we can get information as to why the Nephilim are doing this,” I replied with a chuckle. “Correct, John,” Morgana replied. “Commander Hinnit, are any of your units nearby?” “I can have a sanctum of Caddiysh here in about 3 kilobeats, however you Mages will have to deal with the Malakha,” Hinnit replied. “How many in a sanctum?” Julia asked. “About 40 Caddiysh,” Telqua replied as Hinnit had already set off at a fast trot. “A platoon then,”...

Gold MountainChapter 20

Manhunt Sheriff Johnson well recalled Bertrand Adams from the man’s involvement with the ‘clown circus’ as he’d come to regard the incident of the three Methow Valley men who’d accosted Patch Adams and Purdy Kendricks and ‘accidentally’ shot Purdy during a show of bravado, ‘killing’ Patch’s ancient Model A truck with pistol shots through the radiator. Yes, he remembered quite well. But he didn’t have any specific identification or photographs of their lawyer. Wait a minute, he thought. He...

Deadly Pursuit Winter JenningsChapter 15 Terrycloth

The Whittaker Fund, the ammunition gambit, was bringing us into intermittent contact with Karl Hoffstatter. Well, with his gopher, Roger ‘Hoppy’ Cransdale. The FBI had decided to let Cransdale roam free for now. The bet was that he’d lead them to higher-ups in the American Nazi movement. The further bet was that the low-priced ammo that the Aryan was buying wouldn’t be used for anything but training purposes. It wasn’t a long-term wager; once Cransdale started repeating his route stops,...

Seeding Hope Among the AshesChapter 9 A Friendly Chat by the Side of the Road

"Important news: we've had several advances. Each of the cities we've visited has established a functioning community. The people are working together with at least one person who can treat anyone who contracts the plague. Everyone we've treated has agreed to treat at least two people to replace them before moving on. This means each community will grow stronger, more reliable and more self-sustaining. We mention this to encourage everyone to either seek these cities out or prepare for...

Seeding Hope Among the AshesChapter 16 A Legal Quandary

"You know this guy?" Earl demanded, studying Alice rather than her attacker. "His name is Ralph. He's from Fort Lee. He tried to scare me away from crossing into Manhattan earlier." The news hit Peter especially hard. He hesitated for a moment, then his lip curled and his eyes narrowed. Alice released her captive and grasped Peter's pistol before he could shoot the man. "What the hell is going on with all of you?" Alice demanded before shaking her head. "Never mind. We've got...

Ed BiggersChapter 22

Within his office, Ed sat back in his chair drinking a cup of coffee reflecting on the discussions last night about the marriage contract. The amount of money that everyone was considering was twenty thousand dollars as the buy in fee. That amount would basically destroy his savings, but it did put the family on good financial grounds. Eighty thousand dollars could get a very nice house built, at least in that area of the country. Kelly was busy in the kitchen making lunch. Today they were...

Country BoysChapter 25

Donny tossed the coffee from his cup to the ground beside the picnic table with a snap of his wrist. He put the cup down and looked around at the scenery. Despite the fact that he was surrounded by some of the most gorgeous landscape in America, he was bored. Part of the reason for his boredom was because he was used to a lot more activity than he had seen over the past two days. Taking their time, because of Sonny’s injuries, they had been on the road for two days, traveling only four hours...

On the Road Again Flint MurdockChapter 10 Fire Ice

In front of the hotel I said, “Meet you at the depot.” Riles grinned, “I hope it’s a big bonus. You and Cayuse earned it.” Chicago Joe had sent a runner, her houseboy, and asked me to meet her and Crazy Belle at the Castle on State Street. Another bonus might be a possibility, but that seemed especially generous since they’d already given Cayuse and me $200. Well, one way to find out. As I walked down State, I was still impressed with what the locals called Fun House Street. Those angled...

Not Quite a White Knight Book 1Chapter 44 After The Flames Deals

Saturday Morning and Afternoon. Sara started a number of deals early Saturday. Essentially, everybody but the Driver pleaded for a deal. They made promises. She promised only that if they were forthcoming, they would not get necklaced Saturday night. The Driver was given a chance, which he refused. Even when he was told that he was to be tonight’s necklace he was still defiant. He was insane, burning him alive would make the world a much better place. Second on Sara’s list was the small...

CharleneChapter 3

A great burden had been lifted from us as we returned to the hotel. We both had been wound up tight from all of the gunplay over the past month. We mutually showered and later found ourselves in an embrace on the queen-sized bed. My hand starting on her hip, I caressed her naked body, sliding my hand up the side of her body, part way to her breasts and stroking back down to start over again. Charlene was swooning as I roamed my hand over her prone body. She turned away, lying on her back as I...

Steve and ChuckChapter 21

Steve The damaged pilot and the safe student were both relaxing and having a beer while being attended to by their close friends. I was happy that we came out of this as well as we did. Thinking that Jimmy should be about back, I called his cell, "Hey, Jimmy, how close are you? I'll come out and help you get the aircraft off the truck." "We're about twenty minutes out. We could use some more hands. If Charlie, Jim, and Hank could come with you, that should be enough muscle. We have a...

Steve and ChuckChapter 29

Steve I woke up several times during the night, hearing things that were normal sounds. Sure wish Chuck had stayed, I would have felt a lot more secure. Funny how a guy like that can make you feel safe. He's just a guy, a one- legged guy with a crooked smile, who is as friendly as a kitten. He can be vicious when he's on the job though. Drinking coffee at 5:55 in the morning is a good way to enjoy the day. I called down to the gate guard to see how everything was going and he said that...

The Log of the Retvizan TwylightChapter 10

In the sixties, Soviet submarines were renown for being exceptionally fast underwater. What they weren't particularly good at was hiding from Western detection. Russian submarines were noisy, uncomfortable and not particularly reliable compared to their Western counterparts. Enter a Soviet spy called John Anthony Walker. This American sub specialist was able to acquaint the Soviets with the ways and means to silence their boats. So successful were the Russians in incorporating the data in...

Three Square MealsChapter 10 The trio finally arrive at Karron Some mysteries revealed

Alyssa looked down over her lovers and saw that she had their undivided attention. They listened to her eagerly, intrigued to learn more about the beautiful blonde girl they cared so much about. “As you know, I grew up on Karron. It’s a bleak inhospitable place, a massive asteroid that’s been gradually hollowed out as the mines have dug deeper. Slums have built up in the old abandoned tunnels and there’s thousands of people living there now.” Calara didn’t know much about Alyssa’s history...

Three Square MealsChapter 14 The pirates sowed the wind now they reap the whirlwind

The elevator swished open quietly and John, Alyssa, and Calara darted into their respective positions on the bridge. Sparks turned to face them as they arrived on the Command deck. “We’re getting an incoming distress call from a freighter. They’ve been disabled by pirates and are being boarded!” Sparks said with alarm. “Alyssa, plot a course to their location. Calara, shields up and weapons armed, we’re going to need to strike quickly,” John ordered decisively. The girls sprung into action...

Steve and ChuckChapter 48

Steve (Tuesday) Mercy and I were in the restaurant early, having coffee, when a couple of salt and pepper guys came in. I stood and both came toward me with their hands stuck out to shake. They sat with us and were brought coffee. Bud Anderson, said, "I've been working on this case for a year and thought we had most of it put to bed. There must be more to it, as you've turned up a significant group here in Nevada." Jim said, "Chuck split me off as his backup a while back to work with...

Steve and ChuckChapter 51

Steve Ah, Friday morning, the close of a busy, crazy week. As I slipped out of bed, Sue's eyes came open and she smiled at me. I figured she would sleep a few more minutes, so I used the bathroom, put on some shorts and a T-shirt, and went out to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. When I went out to the patio to see if the big pot was done, I turned the lights on, which is the signal. I heard Glenda's screen door slam and soon saw her coming across the grass in her morning robe...

Three Square MealsChapter 79 A Rook for a Bishop an Uneven Exchange

Jade stepped out of the grav-tube then jogged down the ramp into the Combat Bridge in a smooth loping run, greeting the girls with a warm grin. “Welcome back, stranger,” Irillith said to her with a smile. The Nymph trailed her green fingers down the Maliri girl’s arm as she breezed past and took her place at the Pilot’s Station. “Hi!” Faye said with a bright smile. “Do you want to take over as Pilot?” “Yes, please,” Jade replied, taking a firm grip on the Invictus’ flight controls. A...

A Thousand Years of Peace Book 2Chapter 15 A little side trip to a spaceship manufacturer

Sam and Mary Kennady walked into the mess hall. There at the big table was John and Jenny with their family. The Admiral and Eddie along with the Captain were sitting with them. Sam noticed two of the Marines standing guard as the other two had breakfast. The time was 7:35 AM and the place was about half full. There was a different feeling from the mourning before. This mourning felt more like Joy and happiness, “Sir, may we join you?” Sam asked. “Yes, go grab some breakfast you two. We just...

Three Square MealsChapter 131 Awkward confrontations

The Invictus dropped out of hyper-warp at the edge of the Alpha Centauri system, its huge engines blazing to life before the tachyon particles even had a chance to dissipate. Following a familiar path, the battlecruiser roared towards Gravitus, a volcanic planet that had been terraformed by the Federation into a spectacular jewel of the Core Worlds. However, the warship’s destination wasn’t the planet itself, but Olympus Shipyard, the vast six-armed space station in high orbit above. The...

Arlene and JeffChapter 273

Alice, Terri and Selina had been practicing under Diana's direction for a little over an hour when Jeff walked onto the firing range. Diana acknowledged her husband with a smile as she came to stand beside him, both watching the girls firing their pistols. After firing the revolver for a while, Selina had talked Diana into allowing her to try one of the nine millimeter pistols, but she had not yet progressed past ball and dummy. As they watched, Selina pulled the trigger on a dummy round,...

UnendingChapter 12

“HOLY SHIT!” Charlotte and Beth had tossed the coffee table aside and I could see the room service waiter in the doorway, his face pale and his eyes wide as he took in the carnage. Without a word, he left the cart and ran. I laughed, then winced as the pain hit. It wasn’t debilitating, I had felt much worse, but it wasn’t fun. The girls got me bandaged to stop the bleeding and I convinced them to sit me up. I was leaned up against the couch and waved Beth towards the unused room where my...

The Walters BrothersChapter 4

Three weeks later we were on the range moving some cattle to keep the grass in shape, when we told Pa we were leaving soon. He just grinned. “I figured. You boys been kind of antsy lately. Got any idea where you’re going?” “We think we might like to see Colorado, see if every creek up there is really filled with gold.” He frowned a little but didn’t say anything. He paid us wages just like the regular hands and we’d saved a mite up. Almost three hundred each. That was more than most cowboys...

Arlene and JeffChapter 354

The Retreat ..."I need Lieutenant Mayfield to meet me at the Ship, ASAP," Jeff subvocalized into his throat mike. Ship shifted the view to a remote positioned above the Security building. The remote's sensors penetrated the heavy snowfall to show a figure that hurried out just as the snowplow pulled up, the plow barely stopping before the figure was inside and the machine was rolling again. The remote followed as the plow made its way up the driveway and across the back parking lot into...

Arlene and JeffChapter 397

After coming over the mountains, the Citation X glided out of the low clouds, its nose soon lined up with the faint lights of Boulder’s runway in the distance. The heavy, snow-laden clouds hung, darkening the day. Snow flurries obscured the pilots’ view, but the instrument package was the best money could buy and the aircraft was also equipped with Jeff’s radar. Jeff’s brainchild, however, couldn’t help with the gusting crosswinds that any sane pilot hated. Eileen had landed a plane in worse,...

Victoria Per ScientiamChapter 16

“What are you working on, Will?” I had decided to make a visit to the Sheep Pen so I could see how the men were doing. Will was holding court with a couple of the other men and they had something rather strange displayed on the holo. “Pappy, we’re tryin’ to make a gun,” he answered. “If you want one, just go to the armory and check one out.” “Nah, we’re trying to design a gun. Somethin’ strange that might look like the dickheads maybe would use. It’s helping me keep my mind off things, ya...

Second ChanceChapter 25

"Well, we can't wait here," I said. "Trust me when I tell you that this is exactly where they are headed. We have to get off this lake and out of Page as fast as possible." She gave me a very long, confused look, and said, "How ... How could you know any of this. It's impossible... "How could you know the Judge already suspected Renee Carson? "Who are you? "Where did you come from? "Why do I believe every word you said, when not one word makes the slightest sense?" "I know...

DreamWeaverChapter 19

Christmas morning, we snuggled in and were ridiculously cute for a few extra minutes before we decided we needed to be up. We showered and dressed quickly and set out right away. May had promised us breakfast, so we passed on the hotel restaurant and drove straight out to the house. When we arrived, May was already bustling around the kitchen. No one else was up yet. Glen would be helping by staying out of the way and Beth would end up being put to work doing minor chores around the edges of...

Arlene and JeffChapter 526

Deep Space – The Alien Ship ... With the weapon rock steady in his hand, the First Officer sat staring at the shaking Captain. There was a long pause before the First seemed to make up his mind. “Hmmm, I meant to just show you how easy it would be to kill you, but after thinking about it for a bit, I think it might well be the best approach just now. Practically everyone on this ship hates your guts. Most would believe your ‘suicide’ without question. In other words, they would not give a...

Pasayten PeteChapter 9 Legend and Illumination

"No sir, I don't think the Pasayten Pete stories have got much to do with my dreams," Graydon guessed. "I mean, there hasn't been much to the stories that Purdy and Patch have told me, except there seems to be a lot of confusion. Nobody seems to agree on anything, just that there's some stories about somebody or something that they call Pasayten Pete. Seems the only thing in common is it's s'posed to be somethin' bad, scary bad." Jim Brightman and Graydon sat comfortably in the...

The Collapse A New Beginning Book 1Chapter 10

Day Ten: Tuesday I woke up feeling like I had slept late but was surprised when I saw seven o'clock on the bedside clock. Groggy as I was I knew I needed to get started on all the work that I had planned for the day. I awoke my still slumbering brides so we could walk out to breakfast together. Hopefully Jim would be awake and I could find out if he knew the other 'Agents of the Antichrist'. Knowing Kari was a sound sleeper I awakened her first by teasing her nipples and kissing her neck....

Head of the Clan The adventures of Steve and LanaChapter 21

I awoke before the sunrise and could not get back to sleep. I left the bed, tossed on some clothes, and sat out on the porch just sorting over these last weeks since the house was destroyed. So much had happened, so fast, that my life felt as though I was in a blender and someone was hitting the pulse button at random intervals. The weight of it all was crushing, but I had lived through periods like this before with the Codex. The Codex, and my company in California; it seemed like a...

Return to EdenChapter 3

At Igwanda's parents' home the reaction to their story of the now-disgraced sheriff was completely different. "You took too much of a chance, girl," said Antonio Igwanda, the colonel's father, in a reproving tone. "Shoot the man, not the gun. It's surer; he's a bigger target, and you finish any possible threat right there." Meiersdottir looked helplessly at her husband. A mosquito landed on her arm; absently, she slapped at it while waiting for him to respond. "Excessive, Pa,"...

False SignsChapter 2

Taylor said his goodbyes to Naziah and Colonel Keene and headed out to join Robles in the SUV. “How’d it go? he asked, as John opened the passenger side door and slid into the seat. “I told them I’d look into it.” “See, I told you there was something here!” “I’m not going that far. It’s possible this kid is innocent, but all they have is how they feel about him. Mothers are usually the last to know what their kids are really like.” “Yes, but Colonel Keene agrees.” “Sure. That and your...

RunChapter 42 More than Sex

The wet spray both stung and cooled her face in the hot sun. Tamara’s skin was surely burning despite the darkened-olive tone it had taken on over the weeks on the run. She’d tried to find a spot on the boat with shade, but with the sun still high enough in the sky, she could do little more than fret about the blisters and burns sure to show on her neck and face the next day. “So,” she said to Marcus above the roar of the boat skipping through the water, “you two were married, huh?” “Long...

Blood BondsChapter 4

Ludwig was sweating profoundly, slowly packing small boxes of essential medicine onto one of the Rovers. The sun had begun its descent beyond the surrounding hills, but the heat and moisture was intolerably unabated. Ethan was helping Nicole load the wounded Red Cross people in two of the Rovers. The patients from the infirmary would ride in the open-top Rovers the bandits had left behind. Two of them needed a stretcher, bad cases of malaria. The rest were mostly kids, left to fend on their...

New Career 1877Chapter 10

This was a damned cold winter, at least for those of us used to spending time in Texas. It didn't bother me as much as it did the rest of the family, but even I got tired of it real damned fast. I couldn't understand how it was that the prospectors could stay out in that kind of weather. Of course, not many of them did, and most of those that didn't, spent their time either in the saloons or in the brothels. Every night was like Saturday night, especially when they started to get bad cases...

Stanly Bromly Gentleman Adventurer 1 Chapter 3

The adventure with the two stagecoach robbers operating together convinced Stan that he needed something better than the Kentucky rifle or the throwing knives as weapons. The rifle was a single shot device which took too long and was too awkward to reload to be of much use in normal combat. On the other hand, the trowing knives were adequate in many cases, but the range was too short and too much room was required for the swing of the throwing arm. A double barreled shotgun would be...

Rough DiamondChapter 07

Mary, Peg, and I concentrate on college while Bron and Cadi work hard at high school. However, whenever we go outside the estate we all continue to move with some of the security guards, mostly the retired Deputy US Marshals. A couple of nice apartment complexes are built for the staff: one for singles and one for marrieds with family. The estate now has plenty of living space and the buildings make up three sides of a square with the open recreational areas in between them. This increases...

Star ChamberChapter 12 The Gunfight

The strange man drew his weapon, but before he could fire, five 115-grain 9mm regular rounds and one 150-grain hollow point made a nice circle on the man’s belly. His eyes stayed open, his knees buckled, and he ended on his back with his legs bent under him in a most uncomfortable position. Two more approached and fired. John’s shield stopped 90% of the blasts. People around them took several steps back to widen the circle. Reverend Jacobs yelled, “SHIELDS UP.” The Secret Service was...

UnexpectedChapter 2

I really fell apart a bit after that meeting with Inspector Harris. It was nice to know that the police didn't think that I'd done my wife in and buried her in the garden or something. But I was still desperately missing the love of my life. You know, in the past I've heard people say that it's the not knowing what has happened to your missing loved ones that is the worst thing to bear. If you know that they are dead, at least you can bury them in your mind, even if you haven't got a...

The Legend of Eli CrowChapter 110

“Trapper, there are at least two dozen turkey-buzzards circling overhead back west of here,” Micah told him as they rode north. Trapper and the others turned their horses to look back to where Micah was pointing. “Looks like we could have a fresh one for you men to check out. Let’s get on over there,” Trapper said and spanked his horse with his reins. They topped a small rise to see at least two dozen more buzzards on the ground tearing into a dead calf. When they rode up, the buzzards...

The Trail WestChapter 8 The Conclusion

Late Thursday afternoon, the group set up a base camp and made ready to start the round up the next morning. Their camp site was at the entrance to a box canyon where they could hold the cattle until they started home. The canyon had water and some grazing for the captured animals. Each of the men had brought two horses with them; Charley White loaned a trained cow pony to Jacob to go with his Puma. Josh brought Diablo of course and his second horse was Joey. "I'm surprised you didn't...

Railroad Robledo Mountain 4 Chapter 10

“All right, Paul, it’s been two hours since we said goodbye to Frank and Lee and watched them ride southeast towards the Estancia. My curiosity is killing me, now tell me about Cisco and Frank like you said you would.” I had to smile. It had been almost twenty-four hours since I’d told Tom I’d tell him how I knew about Cisco and Frank. I knew his curiosity was about to burst. We’d left Tucson less than twenty minutes later, riding hard with Frank and Lee. With a full moon, we’d hadn’t...

The Currency of TimeChapter 3

APRIL 17, 2009 Luis gave me a nod from behind the bar. It was a Friday, but a lot of the regulars hadn't shown up. Guatemala and particularly the port cities like Puerto Barrios on the Gulf of Honduras and Pacific sides were hurting. The American Depression of 2008 could be called a Recession in the U.S. but it was a full fledged 1930s Great Depression in the Central American economies. A lot of the shipping business that brought money and jobs into Puerto Barrios had dried up. Bars...

Nightrider s BaneChapter 6

"There's the livery stable," Shaylee said as she pointed off down the last side street. Maeve turned the wagon and marveled at the size of the place, it was twice the normal size. "Wonder why the place is so big?" she muttered. "Look at all of the stock and the size of the barn! Something's wrong, here, but I just don't see what it could be." A portly, that is to say huge, man strode out of the barn door when he heard the wagon roll up. "Hello, hello. What can I do for you fine...

Anger Not Those Wild Wyldewood Boys Chapter 6

Now he tells us! Marsha's a prisoner of a certifiably crazy lady while our idiotic Sheriff is trying to fill the entire hilltop full of lead! Christmas was her code word to say while she was inside Carrie's if she felt that she was going to be in danger. She'd been held a prisoner all night and no one had told me a damned thing! I made a note to myself to have some serious words with Joe and do some major league ass-kicking on the asshole or assholes who were giving him his orders. "Did...

The Bad BetChapter 11

They didn't bring the wagon down into the depression for fear that it was too heavy, fully loaded as it was, for the team to pull it back up if they decided to go on. AJ thought that they could do it, pointing out that wagons like this had crossed the great divide, but Bella didn't want to take the chance. Becky was loathe to go in the house until Bella swept it out and dragged her inside to prove there was nothing left of the previous inhabitant. The girl stood, uncertainly at first, but...

The Bad BetChapter 25

Frank Jr. sat there, staring at his naked sister as she stared back at him. They both heard their mother's moans as she was carried off. They now knew exactly what she was going to experience in the coming moments. "I did miss you," said Frank, his voice low. "You did?" The thrill that went through her made her nipples tingle and she lifted her other hand to squeeze one, and then the other. "I did," he said firmly. "I believe I need a bath too," he added. Nothing was said as he...

RegretsChapter 3

First of all, neither Ed nor I ever figured out what pringle wearing Met cunt got the bright idea of sending Anne and Holly right back straight to their own home, the moment after I delivered Holly into the happy arms of the tact-team. The damned DCI, Superintendent or Commissioner responsible needs their bollocks or coonts kicked, repeatedly. If this wasn't quite obvious enough to the bad guys where Anne was, they'd even stationed a constable right outside her front door! Bloody...

Caleb JacksonChapter 11

As the Three Musketeers returned to the ground floor, they heard a clatter coming from the area of the barn and corral. Jake was in the lead, and he ran to a window facing to the rear. "Oh, shit!" he exclaimed. "The rest of the bodyguards have returned, and they're out by the corral." Caleb said, "We better git out fast! The three of us can't possibly defend this house, it's way too big. Let's git to the hosses." They rushed to where their horses were hitched at the front door and...

Surprise at Harmony JunctionChapter 3

Jess "The Snake" Hawkins and the rest of the Copperhead Gang were prominent on several wanted posters. They were mostly known for bank robberies, but they had been know to hit trains and stage coaches, too. They were vicious cut-throats who had no pity for any of their victims. I could only assume that they were here for our two banks. Neither of the banks held much, alone, to interest a gang of bandits, but the two banks, together, were a different story. I couldn't ignore this, but how...

Surprise at Harmony JunctionChapter 11

Giving up that horseback riding has made a real difference in my life! I'm knocked up, again. Billy is only two years old, and I have to start thinking about what to do for a second kid. Our combined income of $100 per month is holding us pretty good right now, but I wonder what it will do for a couple with two children. To complicate matters, Bob and I have had a real scare. We were breaking up a bar fight last night, and I didn't get out of the way of a swinging bowie knife fast enough....

A Peril at IshtarChapter 37 Moments of Silence

The next three weeks proved to be relatively quiet. Linus, Louis, Timothy and Mike were continuing to attempt to develop new defenses that would get around the AI's prohibitions against operating the weapons themselves. Most ideas involved mines or unguided rockets, but the units in the system that the AI had for manufacturing items in space were still expanding the repair docks and Fred only had limited opportunities to obtain the raw material needed for additional mines or rockets. The...

Autoloading ShotgunChapter 4 The beautiful Leah Schwartz

The five crooks had ducked behind partially overturned tables. I could see that I had wounded one or more of them because of the spattered blood on the floor. Shit! I had really blown the whole thing! I was stuck behind this damned bar while the crooks were closer to the door than I was. One or more could escape if I let my concentration wander even a little. I had to come up with a plan very damned soon or I was going to lose the chance for this capture and for the recovery of the bank...

Arlene and JeffChapter 673

The Colonel’s Office Aboard Ship ...”And Worthington. Hear this! If something happens to my wife, I’ll kill you without a second thought. Now get out of my face before I change my mind and do what I know should be done.” Without saluting, Worthington spun on his heel and stomped out. Jeff sat thinking. Should I tell his Commander why I’m sending him back? After a moment, he shrugged. On second thought, I asked for his best aviators to give them a chance in my unit. No one, other than us,...

Arlene and JeffChapter 674

The Grounds Just Outside Ship Jeff turned to Sergeant Higgins, who had come roaring up in a Humvee, followed by numerous other Security personnel. “Sergeant, take command here. Secure that weapon,” he said, motioning to the pulse rifle lying a few feet from the body. “Everything is bound to be recorded because of all the Security cameras, and I imagine Ship has a recording also. I suggest that you delegate someone to go with the pilots so they can give their statements. She will provide...

Arlene and JeffChapter 675

The Retreat Diana frowned prettily. “That reminds me. We need to go back to 2214 to see if Jasmine and her sister-wives have caught up with their canning yet. We should do that tomorrow.” “Yep. And they need to get back into training as soon as possible too, but we can’t leave to visit them until the Sergeant and his crew have completed their investigation.” “So, how long will that take?” “As long as it takes,” Jeff responded to her frustration. “Look, Sergeant Higgins is in charge of the...

In a Secret GardenChapter 8

It was a wonderful Saturday night just after bedtime when the Molotov cocktail of burning gasoline shattered against Garry's living room window. What saved our butts from being burned to extra crispy bacon was that all of the windows in the house had all been replaced from cheap contractor glass frames to ultra energy saving double-paned transparent vinyl, or something similar by the previous owner. In any case, the glass didn't break and the home made fuel bomb exploded outside the window...

A Log Truck Driver In Outer SpaceChapter 6

Jane and Karen fixed a real meal, one that you needed to sit down at a table to eat. Thanks goodness Carl had a couple of picnic tables. They were made out of rough sawn wood but they were pretty nice and they were sturdy. I hadn't wanted to eat with the work crew, not because I was snobbish, but because I didn't want to really get to know them. Casey wouldn't have been so bad but the others weren't going to be missed after they were gone, unless I had some shitty job I didn't want to...

Stand in TimeChapter 04

The next morning the desk clerk grins when I amend the registry to show Alice and I in the same room as Mr and Mrs Ward. After we have a good breakfast in the eatery attached to the hotel we go for a walk as a group. I leave Steve, Harry, and most of the dogs with the ladies at the general store so they can examine the goods on display. Taking Woden and Tom I head to the Thomas house. When I arrive I’m shown in to see James, and he looks a lot better. Jemma soon arrives with some hot water,...

Stand in TimeChapter 05

We take our time and spend eighteen days going to Albuquerque after making a lot of short stops at farms and hamlets along the way. After the first few days we sell the farmers some things they need, but not yet so desperately for them to take a few days off to go to town. Most of what we’re selling is flour, salt, gunpowder, coffee, and some cloth. Arriving in the late afternoon we circle Albuquerque to camp near where the families of my first group live. Jesus has José put a minimal guard...
