We both sobbed and clutched one another. We kissed again, our faces wet with tears. A long, kiss moving our hands all over each other. I opened my eyes. Marty's brown eyes stared into mine, smoldering.
The next morning, the car was loaded up, behind it a pick-up truck with dilapidated furniture on it, and that was the last I saw of Marty for years. We wrote and kept in touch, talked on the phone, but not a lot, living in different parts of the country.
He was upstate for a while, then in the Carolinas, then Florida.
We never really got together. I was always busy, and so was he, but we kept in touch.
The passion slowly quieted down. I guess we put in on hold, or buried it, too hard to carry around. Every time he or I would get a new job or promotion, or on holidays, I'd call, or he would.
He won a needle point championship for small tapestries and country scenes. He started a business selling what he made, but had to charge too much to be very profitable.
He applied for a clerk's position in a small prison Just outside New Jersey. Six months later doing more than others, he got promoted to become the warden's assistant. The warden had a heart attack shortly after his training.
"Because bureaucracy is incompetent." He chuckled. "I am appointed warden." Realizing he knew little about running a prison, he read every book he could find on the subject. Before long, he was so organized, his secretary and assistant did most of the work. With a lot of spare time on his hands, he began to take an interest in the prisoners. He asked them about their lives, treated them with kindness, and offered them advice on a multitude of things including how to stay out of prison. [more]

"You know, there is something...," He trailed off, taking a smooth step forward.
Libia looked up at him. Now that he was blocking the light behind him, she could see his face better. His eyes twinkled with mirth, and it was refreshing to see something other than that serious gaze that he had on, trying to hide the anger that he still felt, but failing. She saw no anger, now, just intent.
"What is it?" She asked him curiously.
"Isn't the damsel always supposed to repay her knight in shining armor with a kiss or some stupid shit like that?" He asked.
Libia paused for a moment, before snorting. "Was that supposed to be romantically witty? Because adding 'some stupid shit like that' kind of ruined it," She informed him.
And then it sank in, and she looked sharply up at him. "What did you say?"
He gripped her face in both of his hands. "This will be enough...for tonight," He murmured, before leaning down, capturing her lips with his.
***
Follow along with Libia, a regular girl thrown into a tangle of thorns and roses the world likes to call love. Confused and hurt from a cruel prank pulled on her by the school's player, Johnson Breaker, she literally falls into the arms of the trouble-maker, Damon Slain. He offers her a way to get back at the jerk who broke her heart, and she accepts. Little does she know, that involves turning her into the sexiest Bad Girl that Giddian High has ever seen. Will she be able to show Johnson what he missed out on? And will she reveal her secret hobby to Damon? [more]

'I dont have anything to give you...'
'You do.' He replied once again smiling.
'Wh-what do you want?' I asked again
'I want what you wouldn't give them. I want your first kiss.'
I nodded, tears staining my cheeks and running down my closed lips.
I pressed them to his, my stomach fluttered and my eyes closed. His hand found and cupped my cheek gently, wiping away the shed tears.
That was then. I was sweet. I was kind. And then everyone left me.
At that very moment everything changed. At that moment I no longer smiled. My lips no longer knew the shape of a smile, my heart no longer knew what it was like to feel the type of love that came freely no questions asked.
And when that very same man tried to take more from me I snapped. No one should suffer as I have. If I had to be alone that was okay I was used to silence. But when I meet the people who once saved the more innocent me I can't help but revert into the all too caring person I once was.
I don't remember how to love, I was never shown. I dont know how to forgive no one had ever hurt me and been forgiven before. I only knew how to fight, and some how I knew that it wouldn't be enough.

1. Lovers
Lovers come and lovers go
One on one, some keep score
Violence does not exist
Every night ended with a kiss
Reaping the benefits of a present love
Sends thrills and chills one never tires of...
2.As a man thinketh, so is he
I think I'm a published author,so am I
I thought it first, that's no lie
I thought myself a poet and don't you know it, I am
I constantly think I can, I can
I think myself happy and free to be me
I think myself rich and live abundantly
3.It's in the jeans
Confidently knowing it's in the jeans
The color was vibrant in the seams
They seemed to be painted on him
Women were starring as they walked by
He thought he heard someone sigh
Those look good, someone exclaimed
Lets catch up, we might hear the name.
4.Not Just any sunset
Sitting on the back porch, watching the sunset
Sipping on a budlight, thought I heard a jet
The object overshadowed the house
I jumped off the porch and down to the ground
It was big, it was green, and it was round
I was pulled up into the ship
I was offered some cheese and a little nip
Party pooper is what I was called
I was pushed out and thought I would fall
I opened my eyes and I was standing tall.
5.Blame It on the Rain
I was excited and smiling with glee
I slipped and fell, scraping my knee
Tore my new dress, now my hair is amess
My new shoes had no grips
Out there embarrassed, did I turn a flip?
Entire night ended with a bang
Can't help but to blame it on the rain
6. Intriguing Lover
I make haste to run to you
After twenty years, I know it's true
Love so fierce; it makes me sweat
Daydreaming of you only makes me wet
Dimples so deep and still alarming
One gold tooth, so brigt,so charming [more]

"Roaming the night,
Waiting, Watching.
Intriguing the few males,
they see a goddess.
Dances with danger,
As the hell music becomes seductive and sure.
As Female, is clothed,
As goddess, Skyclad.
At Hell one way,
At Heaven another.
She: wants Mundane, Is Angelic, Will be Demonic.
This shall be the norm.
The Radiance surrounds strong,
pulls her own blood into bed.
This resurrected rose awaits her champions, her lovers, her mates.
In time her little ones shall come to be due."
Anastasia has no memory
prior to 14...Sound suspicious? Four nights now, Anastasia had seen the boy on her balcony. At first, she was afraid to tell her parents, thinking they'd assume she was seeing things, or worse, they'd worry about her. Who was this strange boy? Home-schooled and isolated, she soon finds herself in a new terror story: highschool. She soon meets Emmanuel, Juliet, And Luke, the sluts of the school. She suddenly is surrounded in the fiction she believed her whole life was fake...Vampires, Werewolves, Angels, Demons, Gods and Goddesses. Will she be able to find out exactly who she is, and make something out of her mixed up life? All Anastasia wanted
to do was get
married, and settle
down like any
normal mundie girl...But that's too hard when you've got about a thousand guys falling for you, and unwanted attention...
All Emmanuel could think about was Anastasia. He swore, her skin was so white and soft-looking, she could have been feathers rather than skin. Her curly hair, so red, just like flames, dancing in the wind. Her lips, they looked soft like a perfect pink shade of velvet. The most hypnotizing thing was her eyes. Those big, owl-like eyes. The first time he saw her, he wanted her. No, not for blood. he wanted her for...That was the part he wasn't sure about yet. The first time he saw her, Emmanuel almost went in the house. He wanted to kiss her that much. One thing for sure, if he couldn't have her, he'll protect her from any threat, even though the only notable threat is himself. Will they last long, or will anger, jealousy, and mistakes cause Anastasia to unveil her truth alone?

The House of Mirth is the fourth novel by Edith Wharton. First published in 1905, the novel is Wharton's first important work of fiction. It sold 140,000 copies between October and the end of December, adding to Wharton's existing fortune. The House of Mirth was written while Edith Wharton lived at The Mount, her home in Lenox, Massachusetts.The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, a woman who is torn between her desire for luxurious living and a relationship based on mutual respect and love. She sabotages all her possible opportunities for a wealthy marriage, loses the esteem of her social circle, and dies young, poor, and alone.
Lily is initially of good social standing and rejects several offers of advantageous marriage. The book begins with Lily's 'scandalous' visit at a single man's apartment (Lawrence Selden). They seem to have a feeling for each other, but, unfortunately, Lawrence is not in possession of a big fortune, which turns Lily rather towards Percy Gryce, a young and timid millionaire. When everyone is convinced that Percy will propose to Lily on the next occasion, she suddenly changes her mind and steps back. This is clearly caused by an unexpected visit by Lawrence Selden, who is now convinced of his love for her, but does not want to risk marriage. Gryce soon marries another girl from the same circle.
Lily's social standing erodes when her friend Judy Trenor's husband Gus gives Lily a large sum of money. Lily innocently accepts the money, believing that it is the return on investments he supposedly made for her. The rumors of this transaction, and of her mysterious visit to Gus in his city residence, crack her social standing further. One day Lily receives a note from Selden. She is sure he is going to propose and accepts the meeting the next day. Selden, frightened by this sudden change of her heart (earlier she virtually escaped when he tried to kiss her), flees to Havana, and then Europe, leaving no notice. [more]

Es ist Sommer 1977, und im geteilten Deutschland tobt ein erbitterter Spionagekrieg. Westdeutschlands führende Spionjägerin Sabine Maier muss es mit dem skrupellosen Stasigeneral Werner Heinrich aufnehmen. Sabine hat mit ihren Verhaftungen von DDR-Spionen zahlreiche Gefängniszellen gefüllt. Heinrich dagegen ist der Drahtzieher einer kleinen Armee von Gigolo-Spionen. Ihre Opfer sind einsame Frauen, die auf höchster Ebene der westdeutschen Regierung tätig sind. Stefan Malik, ein ausgesprochener Frauentyp, gerät zwischen die Fronten. Widerwillig muss er als Romeo nach des Generals Pfeife tanzen oder in einem Stasi-Gefängnis schmoren.
Bevor sie die Oberhand gewinnen kann, werden Sabines schlimmste Befürchtungen wahr. Die Stasi hat die höchsten Ränge der westdeutschen Geheimdienste infiltriert, und Heinrichs gut platzierter Maulwurf kennt jeden von Sabines Zügen. Die Anzahl der Frauen, die aus Liebe spionieren, wächst täglich an. Um den Diebstahl von Staatsgeheimnissen zu verhindern, setzt Sabine alles aufs Spiel. Sie baut auf ein innovatives Verfahren, mit dessen Hilfe sie Verräter identifizieren will.
Das geniale System führt Sabine auf die Spur von Stefan, der die Sekretärin des Kanzleramtschefs ins Visier genommen hat. Als Sabine entdeckt, dass Stefan eigene Ziele verfolgt, stellt sie ihm eine riskante Falle. Während die Sicherheit des Westens auf dem Spiel steht und Stefans Leben an einem seidenen Faden hängt, gibt Sabine ihr Letztes, den Maulwurf zu enttarnen und den Stasi-Spionagechef auszutricksen.

Egal wie oft man das schon gehört hat, bei Roter Romeo trifft es zu. Der temporeiche und spannende Roman ist voller Intrige. Die faszinierenden Figuren werden in außergewöhnliche Affären verstrickt, bei denen manch einer ein doppeltes Spiel betreibt. Vorschlag: Handschuhe anziehen, damit man nicht an den Nägeln kaut.

Vor dem Hintergrund des schroffen Sangre de Cristo-Gebirges hofft die aufstrebende Diva SYLVIA MAZZONI, ihr Debüt an der Santa Fe Opera und ein romantisches Wiedersehen mit ihrem Liebhaber, dem Washingtoner Anwalt ROLF KELLER, zu verbinden. Aber Rolfs alter Erzfeind vom Jurastudium, CHARLES SLATER, der jetzt Archäologe ist, stört ihr Rendezvous. Er ist auf der Flucht vor skrupellosen Antiquitätenhändlern, die hinter seinen jüngsten Funden prähistorischer indianischer Artefakte her sind.
Nachdem Slater unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwunden ist, stürzt sich Rolf in die Wildnis von New Mexico, um nach ihm und seiner unschätzbaren Beute zu suchen. Bald befindet er sich auf der verzweifelten Flucht nicht nur vor den Waffen von mörderischen Schmugglern, sondern auch vor dem FBI.
Als die ursprüngliche Sopranistin, die für die Rolle der Tosca engagiert wurde, stimmliche Probleme entwickelt, soll Sylvia als Ersatz in letzter Minute einspringen: eine gewaltige Herausforderung, bedeute es doch einen riesigen Karrieresprung. Um das anspruchsvolle Santa-Fe-Publikum zu beindrucken und sich damit die Türen zu den führenden Opernhäusern der Welt zu öffnen, muss sie ihr Letztes geben. Doch die Schmuggler, die vor nichts zurückschrecken, um Slaters kostbaren Antiquitäten in die Hände zu bekommen, nehmen sie und Rolf ins Visier.
Während Sylvia und Rolf die kryptischen Hinweise enträtseln, die Slater hinterlassen hat, stoßen sie auf die faszinierende Legende von der jungen Tochter eines Schamanen, TEYA, die eine entscheidende Rolle beim Pueblo-Indianer-Aufstand von 1680 gegen die spanischen Unterdrücker spielte und vielleicht den Schatz eines verlorenen Pueblos verbarg.
Jetzt, drei Jahrhunderte später, kreuzen sich die Wege von Teya, Sylvia und Rolf in diesem fesselnden Geschichtsthriller, in dem es um archäologische Verbrechen, Geschichte des amerikanischen Südwestens und große Oper geht.
