I Cheated A Long Summer Fling

NS Raveneir

Sinopse

Lene was spending her corporate holiday with her colleagues when she saw him. Destiny led her to meet an attractive looking man that everyone was familiar with, a famous personality, Victor Theryn.  Everything happened accidentally when they met each other at that sandy beach. One and another encounter brought them together , on that tropical resort. Both Lene and Victor fell in love in that short meeting. Not knowing that the truth, Lene was already engaged with Robin. Through time, the summer fling continued on, Lene was too greedy for keeping two hearts at the same time. Yet, she had to decide which love suited her better. Would she choose Victor or Robin?
-Robin's gesture melted my anxious heart, I started doubting myself as my guilt arose then I became vulnerable. I hugged Robin tight, I was ashamed of what I had done, but he thought differently. I felt it when he kissed me passionately, I realized that he wanted to devour me. It might be because of my guilty feeling, I lowered my guard down and let him do what he wanted to do.
-Forcefully, Victor pulled me near, then without hesitation, he landed his lips on mine. The warm and tender lips of Victor consumed me ravishingly with all his burning desire. I could not refuse, as if he was letting go of all the longing he had carried inside of his heart. My heart shattered in confusion, but my body drowned in his game.

Top 10 Short Stories The - Early...

Jules Verne

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

The ideas and inventions of mankind on many occasions have their roots in the minds of authors. From Interplanetary journeys, time travel, robots and cyborgs to voice control, organ transplants, mobile phones and even the internet are just some that began as mere inky black on paper as thrills and adventures.

We Aim to Live

John Budden

We Aim to Live is a collection of fourteen powerful, dark and funny short stories, about ordinary people – mostly men – at moments of crisis, crossroads or revelation. The stories look unflinchingly at men's behaviour and the moments when masculinity is on the edge of turning dangerous.
Some stories portray the toxic world of professional football drawing upon the writer's past in that world; while others are set in high end hotels, removals firms and sheds.
Here, the issues of masculinity, class and the struggle with life's small (and large) humiliations are all told in an authentic and utterly distinctive voice.

Long nights, empty stomachs, and impulsive cravings haunt these stories.

Exploring the lives of bisexual and gay Puerto Rican men, these fifteen stories show a vulnerable, intimate world of yearning and desire. The stars of these narratives linger between living their truest selves and remaining in the wings, embarking on a journey of self-discovery to satisfy their hunger for companionship and belonging.
