John opened his eyes, a cool presence in his arms.  It took a split second for him to begin to panic; the presence seemed friendly enough, curled into his body as it was.  The issue came from the fact that he did not remember how either he or she had come to be here … or even where here was.   Slowly he opened one eye and then the other, carefully ( Read more... )

VII were always a far flung idea in my mind.  I saw one take down some ‘Rel in Hartford a few months back; but it never was real until this weekend.  Ava and I were grabbing a quick bite to eat before court and thing were looking bright for this month.  As I dragged the bum back to my lady fair, out of a shadow pops this Khabit motherfucker.  ( Read more... )

I felt Ava stretch her body against my back, her chin resting there, close to my ear, her whisper, more felt than heard, "Tell me a secret, beloved."

-------------

"Tell me a secret, beloved", a different voice in a different time whispered into my ear.  Jamari lay against my back, lounging there, “Tell me why you fight your nature so.”  My wrists ( Read more... )

April.  There is no time like it all year.  Some will say that it is the beginning of Spring; the time when the earth is just starting to stir from her long winter’s sleep.  Some will say that it is the sweet sense of anticipation that it brings, the first thoughts of the summer sun.  Some even claim that it is when love first begins to take hold ( Read more... )

Just once.  Just once it would be nice for something to go my way without my having to beat it into submission.  Oh things start ducky … so ducky the shit is just about waterproof.  Doc and I arrive at this little church that the ‘Pink Lance’ using to host his ‘Easter Gathering’.  To say that he offends me is putting it lightly.  I have seen wastes ( Read more... )

I really do not remember what set me off.  What started as a joke turned deadly pretty quickly.  I am not the first one to think that Eva’s skirts are too long and, seeing as she does not consider herself an object of desire, I saw no reason that she could not shorten them a bit.  As we normally do, this turn to arguing and then to bargaining.  ( Read more... )

I love it when they struggle; it gives me a little vamp chubby.  The fact that in this instance it was a very large Haitian Nosferatu may make it sound a bit gay; so I’ll try to ignore that part of the story.  Eva called him Vicious and the way he was cursing and spitting, he seemed to be living up to the moniker.  Of course, I was not helping the ( Read more... )

Sixty dollars for flowers? I thought as I looked at the guys receipt.  Anyone who would pay that for something I could have stolen out of my neighbors yard as a kid deserves to be mugged.

I will admit, I had a little spring in my step as I opened the door.  It was Valentine’s Day.  I had flowers, not to mention some dude’s wallet in my pocket.  As ( Read more... )

“You are my heart.”

… and like being blind sided by a bottle of Jack Daniels, these four words put me back on my heels.  I mean, what do you say to something like that?  Let’s review the ‘great love story’ that is the life of Sunda: love of my life left me for another guy, found love again and fucked it up over whether or not to have kids … and let ( Read more... )

The TV was still on, two fat men slapping and pushing each other on its surface; but I didn’t really see it. I felt my beast lurch at hers the instant she opened the door … but I am still not sure if it was in reaction to her beast … or the moment of clarity that had just plugged me right between the eyes. In the moment between her entrance and ( Read more... )
