"إنها جميلة هذا النوع من الجمال الذي يستقبلك بضجة تملأ عينيك. وقد تمل الضجة بعد قليل ولكنك لا تستطيع أن تحول عينيك عنها.. وهي ذكية.. هذا الذكاء الذي يعجز عن إخفاء نفسه، فيبدو صارخاً يخفيك أحياناً، ويثيرك أحياناً.. وقد تسخر منه! وهي غنية.. لم تضطر يوماً للكفاح، ولم ينقصها يوماً شيء.. وهي مؤمنة بالفضيلة، والعفة، والطهر.. لم يستطع إنسان أن يدفعها للسقوط. ولم تحاول يوماً أن تسقط. وسارت بكل ذلك في الحياة.. بجمالها، وذكائها، وثرائها، وفضيلتها.. ولم تكن تريد من الحياة إلا شيئاً واحداً، هو أن يعترف لها الناس بما تملك.."

For years now, I've harbored a secret gay crush on my best friend, Kyle. The two of us have been extremely close since high school, but all this time, I don't think he's had any inkling whatsoever as to my sexual orientation. He's about to get married now, and I decide to act at last in fear that I might never again have the opportunity to do so. The two of us are on a camping trip together, drunk as skunks, when I seduce him in our tent, and the two of us make sticky, passionate love.

She had dreamt of that day since her father became partners with his family’s ranch. Although Dean had been in love with her all through his senior year he pulled back claiming she was too young. That she was just a kid. Running from the barn hurt and in tears, Katy was determined that one day Dean would see her as a beautiful woman.

I'm pulled, still in my bed, up into the air onto an alien spacecraft, where I encounter two absolutely gorgeous extraterrestrial life forms. As it turns out, they're on a mission to study the ins and outs of human sexuality, and they might just want to use me as a test subject....

I never really knew just how life-saving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could be. By all means, I shouldn't be feeling nearly as pissy over the course of this vacation as I am. The atmosphere is sublime, the circumstances are almost surreally beautiful in some ways, and I'm about as spoiled and as pampered as I could possibly hope to be. But, in many other ways, I feel as though I'm being seriously left in the lurch. My husband, Darren, has spent the entirety of this week-long getaway talking business on his cell phone.

I'm lying in bed one night, staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep from anxiety. In a few hours, I'll be starting my new job at a successful company, and I'm concerned that my first day there could either make or break me. Soon, however, I find myself drifting off to sleep, and when I do, I have quite the Freudian nightmare. For whatever reason, I have the strangest dream of becoming intimate with my new boss, Mr. Jones, right in the middle of my new office, and I wake up screaming and soaked with sweat. And other fluids....
