I hated his guts for betraying me, but I couldn't find it in me to throw those letters away, so I kept them. We had this ritual where we'd write a letter to Santa asking for a gift. Of course we knew Santa wasn't real, but it was our thing. We'd sneak off when the other wasn't looking and check each other's letters and surprise each other with whatever we'd asked for. “I was right, Mommy, it is him,” Lucien said, looking from the photograph in his hand and back up to Ryan, before stopping at the last step as he stared at the picture and then at Ryan, who was now staring back at Lucien. He rushed to stand in front of Ryan, tilting his head back as he looked at the tall man, before raising his

I looked back through the glass doors towards the apartment. Towards Jane. Towards Elliot. Towards Caroline. Towards David. Towards Hailey. Towards the tiny baby clothes waiting inside. "This." My voice barely rose above a whisper. "Happiness was never waiting at the end of the journey." I smiled. "It was waiting for us to become a family." Desmond tightened his embrace. The city sparkled beneath the night sky. Behind us, laughter drifted faintly from inside the apartment where the children had apparently not gone to sleep as instructed. Neither of us hurried to interrupt them.

Pinky squinted to read it, her eyes tracing the loops and crosses. "Collection of short stories for ladies," the title read. "Stories of desire, of awakening, of the first time." Pinky blinked, her eyes widening as she read on. The handwriting was feminine, secretive, as if the writer were sharing her most guarded thoughts with only the pages. It was a confession. A revelation. As she began to read.

Story Note: “Room for One More” is a standalone short from my erotic collectiona mix of intense, sensual, and sometimes forbidden stories that explore the raw edges of desire. Each story introduces new characters, new fantasies, and unapologetically explicit encounters. This particular tale features a taboo dynamic between step-siblings, told with heat, dominance, and no holding back. Reader discretion is advised. *************************************************

We dressed slowly, sharing laughs over rumpled clothes. As he left for his night shift, promising coffee tomorrow, the snow outside seemed magical, not isolating. Christmas Eve had gifted connection, turning a doorman's kindness into something profoundly intimate, human, and alive.

The Story of Russell and Samantha: NOTE, THIS EPISODE IS TAKEN FROM 'NOT YOUR AVERAGE GEEK', A STORY BY THE SAME AUTHOR CURRENTLY LEFT ON-HOLD. ***** I woke up drenched in sweat. It's almost November, yet California weather is as always; unpredictable.

He is the crime Lord and I knew very well that he was the one teaching Pete all those mischievous things he did but even at that,we always enjoyed his stay because Uncle G was very very generous with his cash…unlike aunt Caroline who was the stingy queen. Later that night,we began to hear bands and musical instruments playing loudly down the street and we immediately knew that it was the Christmas Carol that was announced in the church that day. We were so excited and wanted to join but didn't know how to tell Dad. It was already half past eight at night and him letting us out by that time was all on miracle but we still gave it a trial. “This is Christmas and it's just once in a year, let's

I called out, wrapping my hands around myself. Nicole turned around and rolled her eyes, her flashlight beam swinging across my face. “Oh my god, Sophia. You’re always like this. So uptight. We’re eighteen, not kids. Live a little.” “Yeah, Miss Perfect. Always playing it safe. What’s the worst that could happen? You’ll see a spider and cry?” Cassie laughed, running a hand through her blind hair as she turned towards Kendall who wouldn't stop grinning. “If you’re that scared, you can wait in the car. But then we’ll all know you’re still the same shy little Sophia who never does anything fun.”

We never got to see how they lived happily though, but the smile in the last scene after which the The End, flew or swivelled or zoomed in, made it obvious. Nisim did tell me later that The Thief was a short story and short stories ended that way! It was five pages long, much longer than the stories in the book Deuta had gifted me on my eleventh Birthday – Aesop’s Fables – the stories in this book were never more than two pages. And always with a moral at the end. The Thief didn’t have a moral – that was the best part though – I never liked memorizing morals. But the thing was, my brother was calling the longest story I had read till then, a short story! By then, though, I had some idea of a

My conversation with Elijah proves that. We park downtown and get out of the car, stepping over piles of slushy, dirty snow. “I’ll be so glad when winter is over,” Autumn says with a sigh. “I love the holidays, but the dirty snow everywhere really puts a damper on things.” “We’ll get you some French toast, and that will lift your spirits,” Elijah replies. She brightens at the prospect, making the rest of us laugh. As we head from the parking lot across the street, there’s the sound of screeching tires from just up ahead.
