Saturday's Excerpt – Out Of Control

"But it hurts. The loneliness hurts so damned bad." Molly slowly shook her head. "Sometimes I don't think I'll make it through another night." She looked at Alex.

Instinctively, Alex grabbed her hands. "I'm sorry, Molly. I didn't mean to make you upset."

"You didn't. It feels good to talk to someone who understands, but I'm the one who should apologize." She gave Alex's hands a squeeze, but didn't let go. "I'm not very good company."

"You have nothing to apologize for. And yes, I know what it feels like to be lonely." Alex didn't realize that her thumb was slowly caressing the top of Molly's hand. She looked into Molly's lonely eyes and, before she could stop herself, leaned over and softly kissed her lips.

She noticed the small tattoo of an angel on Molly's bare shoulder and pointed to it. "I like that."

Molly laughed, tilting her head. "Thanks. I had that done when I was eighteen during my
rebellious years. I thought about having it removed, but never got around to it."

"I wouldn't…it's nice."

"Maybe I'll keep it then." She grinned. "I suppose we should get back to the others."

Alex would have preferred continuing to talk to her alone, but reluctantly followed noticing what a nice ass she had. With every curve in the right place, she was clad in a pair of tight-fitting jeans and a low-scooped blouse. Her body was slim, but her  arms and legs were muscular and Alex attributed that to carrying the heavy mailbags while walking her route. Her femininity couldn't be denied though. The perfume she wore was light and pleasantly filled Alex's nostrils.

Saturday's Excerpt – The Interview

"No one likes to be criticized. Besides, I'm supposed to be the one interviewing you."

A hurt expression crossed Shayla's beautiful face. "I'm only trying to help you. Look, it's late. I'm going to grab a shower then get some sleep. You can use the guest room down the hall third door on the right." She moved toward the hallway.

"I…I thought…." her voice trailed off.

Shayla's head snapped back around. "You thought what? You have a bad habit of leaving sentences unfinished. If you have something to say, please say it."

"What would you expect from me?"

"Expect? I would expect your love, friendship, loyalty…what the hell do you think I'd expect? What anyone expects in a relationship." Her eyes flashed. "And I would give you the same. If you know anything at all about me you know that those I love are fiercely protected by me from the media. If you've heard anything to the contrary it's not the truth. I've never allowed my private life to be made public."

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to offend you, but sometimes one's private life does become public knowledge especially when that person is in the public eye."

"Don't believe everything you hear or read, Rae. My God, you're a journalist. You've probably twisted a few things around that someone has said before. You know, take a piece of this and that and maybe print a damning statement without adding what may have been said afterwards by way of explanation by the interviewee."

"Maybe some journalists do that, but that's not the way I operate."

Saturday's Excerpt – Best Friends

Callie watched the color drain from Katie's face and realized that Katie misread her silence as dislike. "No…no," she quickly whispered in a raspy voice. "It's okay." She placed a trembling hand on top of Katie's, staring into her sea-green eyes and losing herself in the wonder of everything that made Katie what she was. Now those eyes held the promise of something special.

"What do you want from me, Katie?"

Katie tenderly put her free arm around Callie's neck and drew her closer. Callie felt Katie's fingertips tremble as their lips met again. This time neither one of them pulled away. She wanted to stay locked in Katie's embrace for the rest of her life.

"How does that feel?" Katie quietly asked.

Callie felt Katie's warm breath close to her ear. "Great," she murmured. "I never had a massage before. Guess I'll have to keep you around."

"I don't mind. Just call me whenever you need one."

Callie closed her eyes as Katie's hands moved over her entire back. She sucked in her breath as those intense hands continued touching her throbbing body longing to turn over and pull Katie down on top of her but knew she couldn't do that. When Katie was finished, Callie could still feel the sensation from her touch, and couldn't recall ever feeling so relaxed and peaceful.

Saturday's Excerpt – The Other Side

"Your affairs tortured me, Michael," she continued. "I felt so violated."

"What about yours and Clare's?" he countered. "How can you twist things to make me out to be the villain in this marriage?"

"I wasn't screwing my staff!"

"You might as well have been."

"Then why didn't you leave, Michael?" She looked pointedly at him. "Why?"

He kept quiet.

"You didn't leave because the benefits were too good. You got to play the part of the doting husband and father, but most importantly you enjoyed all the prestige that went along with it, not to mention the money and other luxuries."

He let his breath out slowly. "What kind of woman would marry a man knowing that she only enjoyed being with women?"

"You have a visitor," he said quietly.

"No one knows I'm here." She started to tremble. "Oh my God! I hope the press hasn't found out where I am."

He laid a hand on her shoulder. "It's Clare Christian."

Ally's hand flew to her mouth. "Clare's here?" she exclaimed. "Where is she?"

He opened the door and motioned for the woman. Clare walked into the room and over to Ally, quickly enclosing her in her arms. He closed the door and stood silently watching the women.

Tears filled Ally's eyes. "Oh my, God, Clare, you don't know how I've needed you, but how did you find out?"

She softly laughed. "Sweetheart, when I didn't hear from you I knew something terrible must have happened. Then when I read in the papers that you'd resigned I knew something was wrong. I've been trying to find you for so long. Last night I broke down and called Michael. I insisted he tell me your whereabouts."

"I thought you'd be the last person he'd tell."

"He knows I'll never leave you, Ally, unless you ask me to."

She touched her cheek. "That will never happen, Clare."

J.C. looked up hoping to conceal the pain Samantha's words caused. "We used to be so close, Sam. It seems like it was years ago now." She swallowed hard. "I love you. That has never stopped for me. I don't know why you ended our relationship. I was so hurt when you never visited me in jail. I thought you didn't care. I couldn't take it when you said you didn't want to see me anymore. I don't care about anything anymore…especially now with Harry gone." A tear slid from her eye, making a slow descent down her cheek. "I don't know what happened that night; I wish to God I could remember, but I can't. When I came here that night I thought that maybe you would have missed me so much that you would want me back." She cleared her throat. "But I swear to you that I did not kill Harry. I know I was set up and I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out." She twisted her fingers through her hair. "I don't have any recollection of anything after I left here that night. At first, I thought I was losing my mind. I just wish I could remember," she sobbed.

Jordan laid a hand on Samantha's trembling shoulder. "Stay away from her, Samantha," she warned. "What you had with her is over. You can't help her anymore. God knows you tried, but you can't change someone who doesn't want to be changed."

Samantha quietly closed the door behind Jordan, and then walked back into her living room. She paced the floor for a few minutes before wearily sinking into a chair. She shivered as an icy chill enveloped her. Her mind was traumatized by Jordan's news. She knew firsthand how livid J.C. could become when she was provoked, but she also knew the tender, sweeter side of her. There was no way in hell anyone could ever convince her that J.C. was capable of murder. She had to find out the truth about what really happened.

Saturday's Excerpt – Zinna

Zinna waited for Monica to release her hand, only she didn't. She should pull her own hand free, but something inside wouldn't allow her to. She imagined it was Megan holding her hand. It felt good to be touched again, touched by her Megan, Megan who shared the same feelings she did. It'd been so long since she'd felt the flesh of Megan this close to her own. Old familiar feelings stirred inside her. Those feelings and yearnings now seeped to the edge of her consciousness, engulfing her in the mysteries which lay ahead just as they did when they were sixteen and knew they had no control over their feelings for one another. Her mind unconditionally convinced her that it was Megan holding her hand and tears rolled down her face as the song ended. The ache in her chest engulfed her.

"We've been friends since high school."

"Megan's still in Buffalo?"

She shook her head. "Rochester."

"You went to school in Buffalo, though?"

"Yes, but Megan and I moved to Rochester after high school. She's still there."

Charity looked evenly at her. "Maybe she'll come for a visit sometime."

"Maybe," Zinna replied.

"Yes. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would have gotten through the night. She was a lifesaver."

Angela's eyes flashed angrily. "She's bad news. She enjoys chewing people up and spitting them out. She's a user and she's dangerous. No one's feelings, but her own are of any importance to her," she bitterly replied.

Rachel's eyes clouded. "Did she do something to hurt you?"

Angela looked down at her folded hands and seemed to be concentrating on the simple ring she wore on the pinkie finger of her right hand. Finally, she raised her eyes to Rachel's. "Yes. She almost destroyed my life."

Chelsea stirred and slowly opened her eyes. "What time is it?" she asked, leisurely stretching as she pushed a strand of her long, silky blonde hair from her shoulder.   

"Early." Alex continued staring at her. She rested a hand on Chelsea's thigh and willed herself to feel something…anything. Chelsea's petite body looked vulnerable lying there, almost like a child. In a sense, she still acted like a child at the age of twenty-seven. Alex took a deep breath. She was horny, and even though she didn't love her, she would still fuck her if Chelsea wanted.

After he left, Shayla took Rae's hand and led her to the sofa. The heat from her small hand made Rae's legs wobbly and she quickly seated herself. Shayla sat next to her. Rae was very aware of her intense eyes watching her every move. The light scent of her expensive perfume lingered in Rae's nostrils almost intoxicating her.

Tess's jaw dropped. "He wants you to do what? I'm not sure I heard you correctly."

"You heard me." She looked into Tess's eyes, but could see nothing beyond the shock registered there.

"I hope you told him that you'd never—"

Sara held up a slender finger. "Yes, I did—several times. That's why he'd never expect it."

When she was finished unpacking, Amanda sprawled across the large bed. "At least this bed is plenty big enough for the both of us until my stuff gets moved in."

Jill froze. She hadn't thought about the sleeping arrangements this weekend. Looking at Amanda, Jill's insides turned to jelly. Could she sleep in the same bed with Amanda and not reach for her in the night? What if in a lapse of sound judgment she let her emotions over power her rational thinking? Fear gripped her. Amanda was so tempting. It would take every ounce of will power not to make an unwelcome move on her in the night. She drew a long shaky breath. What the hell was wrong with her? She was usually in control of her emotions. And never had she been so suddenly attracted to another woman.

Beth laughed to herself. She knew the conversation was veering into dangerous territory, but she didn't care. Tonight she was throwing all caution to the wind. It was time she herself let her hair down and explored some new territory. They were two consenting adults so no one would get hurt. If she couldn't physically have this woman here making love to her, then she was determined to steer the conversation to some hot and heavy phone sex. Kay sounded like she needed…no wanted the same release that Beth did. "Please don't be embarrassed. You're just expressing what you're feeling. I do understand how you feel." Her voice was huskier than she intended. Ripples of desire pounded through her veins. She placed a hand on her breasts. Her hardened nipples ached to be fondled. She closed her eyes and pretended that Kay was here next to her caressing her breasts.

"What about your sex life?" Peyton asked bluntly.

Chloe's face flushed. "I…I can't remember the last time we've been together. At least a month." She felt her face grow warmer. "It's not that I haven't wanted to, but she's been so busy that I'm usually asleep by the time she comes to bed," she added quickly. She'd never discussed her sex life with anyone before, but now assumed that Myra had. If Myra indeed had, did she make it sound as though it were all Chloe's fault? Or had she confided to her best friend that Chloe just didn't turn her on anymore?

"Have I done something wrong, Warden Barlow?" Kelsey asked in a small voice.

Jennifer smiled warmly at the young inmate hoping to put her at ease. She watched as Kelsey swallowed hard noticing her long beautiful neck. She felt the wetness between her legs as she imagined how it would feel to caresses that beautiful neck and kiss those full lips.

"No, not at all. Please have a seat. I summoned you to my office because I make it a rule to get to know all of the new inmates. I want to make sure you understand all of the rules and to answer any questions you may have."

She couldn't let Kelsey know her true feelings, how she dreaded leaving her bed each morning, how sometimes she wished never to awaken to another long day. The weekdays weren't so bad, but the weekends were almost unbearable. Could she tell her how often she cried herself to sleep? No, she couldn't tell her any of those things. "Do you always make assumptions of someone you barely know?" she asked hoarsely.

She seductively ran her tongue over Skyler's bare shoulders as her hands removed Skyler's bra, pantyhose and panties. Her hands played with Skyler's breasts. "I'm going to make it up to you.

Still, as hard as she tried, there was no changing the fact that she was different. So she locked her true feelings deep within her heart and even with her closest friends around her, she was lonely—terribly lonely—and that loneliness only added to her restlessness. She longed to unburden her heart to someone, but there was no one she trusted to understand so her secrets remained buried within her until hopefully the day would come when she'd find that special someone who possessed the same screwed-up feelings that she did. Only then would Callie begin to understand herself and find the joy she was sure waited for her somewhere in this big lonely world, but she doubted that special someone existed in Littledale.

Clare Christian scanned the newspaper. "Where are you, Ally?" She wondered why Ally hadn't called her. They'd often gone for a few weeks without seeing one another, but they'd always kept in touch by phone. She debated calling Ally's private number. What reason would she give for calling if Michael answered? If she didn't hear from Ally soon she would make the call. She loved being Ally's confidant as well as her lover. In the beginning, she'd wanted so much more out of their relationship and at times had even thought about ending it, but she knew deep within her heart that Ally was destined to remain a part of her life. She'd settled into her own life, living for the moments Ally could come to her and they would make passionate love and then she would tenderly hold Ally as Ally shared her fears and hopes with her.

"You don't owe me anything. What's going on with you tonight? What's really wrong?"

She shook her head slowly back and forth. "Sam, how can I tell you when I don't even know myself?" She took another swallow of her drink. "I just have this terrible emptiness inside. I can't stand being away from you," she whispered in a cracked voice. "Why can't we be together again?"

Her eyes pleaded with Samantha's. "It would be different this time. I promise. I'm losing my mind being away from you. I'll change, but just give me some time."

A warm sensation crept through Zinna's chest, then down to her genitals. She'd had this heated sensation before, and when the feelings became too intense, and she thought she would lose her mind, she would gently move her hand to her vagina and relieve her yearning. She should pull her hand away from Megan's, but she couldn't. A powerful urge much stronger than her usual sensibility overtook her mind. Her emotions were raw and on edge. She needed to know. Why had Megan tormented her with all these questions? What did Megan really want from her? What did she really want from Megan? She was terrified of what lay ahead tonight, but she had to take the risk. She leaned in closer. She felt Megan's sweet breath near her mouth. A tremor went through Megan's hand, or was it her own, or both? It felt like an electric current was surging through her veins. In a moment, she would totally suffocate.

"I do love you so much, Kerri. Please don't ever doubt that." She grabbed Kerri's hands.

Kerri gazed into Rachel's eyes then leaned in closer softly moving her lips as she gently caressed Rachel's neck with tender kisses. "Do you?" she hoarsely whispered. "Show me." She rubbed Rachel's back, and then unhurriedly undid her bra. Her hands found the familiar breasts and she softly cupped them, massaging first one and then the other.

Will frowned as he set his beer down. "Dinner will be fine, Trey. Lighten up. He'll be down…here he is now," he said as he looked toward the entrance.

Kyle Martin stepped into the room dressed in kakis and a black polo shirt. His dark brown hair was on the long side and he had dark penetrating eyes. "Sorry for the delay,"
he said. "I had to take a call." He walked over to where Frankie and Johanna were sitting. "So, these are the two beautiful ladies who'll be joining us for dinner tonight? Too bad you're a couple." He didn't wait for proper introductions, but immediately held out a hand to Johanna. "I'm Kyle Martin. And you are Johanna or Frankie?" he asked as his eyes bore into hers.

Johanna gritted her teeth as she took the hand he offered. His tone of voice was cocky and every instinct in her body told her he was not who he pretended to be. Her assessment of him was now sealed and any thought she may have had of giving him the benefit of the doubt was now dissolved. His overall attitude revealed a man who thought he was more than he actually was. Her growing dislike for him intensified. She met his gaze. He was extremely good looking and she supposed he used that to his advantage whenever it benefited him, but his phony charm and looks would get him nowhere with her. "I'm Johanna and this is Frankie," she said motioning to Frankie who was seated on the sofa next to her.

"Frankie, huh?" he remarked lifting an eyebrow as his eyes instantly moved to Frankie and swept over her. "Were your parents hoping for a son?" he asked with a slight smirk. "Or does your name have a significance to your relationship with Johanna?"

Johanna and Trey sat stunned and Trey gripped his wine glass so tight Frankie thought it would break. Johanna seemed to wait expectantly for Frankie's response, knowing that no input from her was necessary.

"Excuse me," Frankie answered coolly. "Are you always this rude?"

Frankie lay naked on her back as Johanna sensuously rubbed oil into her flesh. She sighed contentedly as she stared at the twinkling stars visible through the skylight. The rest of the room was illuminated with candles. She loved the feel of Johanna's fingertips gently massaging her skin. Her body came alive with the slightest touch from her. She inhaled deeply as her body involuntarily twitched.

Johanna straddled her body over Frankie's. "I love having total control," she whispered, reaching a hand to where Frankie's wrists were secured to the bedposts.

"And I love totally submitting to you," Frankie whispered hoarsely.

"Do you trust me?"

"With my life," she answered as she tried to close her mouth over one of Johanna's breasts, which was so tantalizing close. She flicked her tongue, just grazing the nipple. She saw the desire instantly appear in Johanna's eyes.

"The time's up, Frankie. We've run out of time!" she cried. "Don't you care about what this is doing to me?" She felt the immediate tension that enveloped the room. She sniffed. "I'm sorry," she said, blinking as she looked at her guests. "I just don't know how much more I can take."

"Don't apologize, sweetie." Kate's jaw was set. "Look what you're putting Johanna through, Frankie. Think about her. I can't believe you're doing this to her. I'm talking as your friend now and not as a deputy, but this is not the Frankie I know and love. What the hell is going on with you?"

"Frankie, we're your friends. You need all the help you can get," Will stated. "Why are you shutting us out?"

Frankie sat staring at them but said nothing. Johanna wondered what was going through her mind. No smart comebacks…nothing.

Johanna sat back and listened, observing Trey's facial expressions as Frankie asked the questions. She watched doubt creep into his eyes as he picked his glass back up. "I
don't know. Neither of us is into social media."

"Do you know if Kyle is married?" Frankie asked.

"Will mentioned that he has a wife and is raising his late sister's son. They currently live in Seattle."

"I assume they'll be joining him if you hire him." Frankie's eyebrows drew together. "When will Kyle be arriving?"

Trey exhaled loudly. "He's already here."

Frankie's eyes narrowed. "Before he even has the job?"

He nodded.

"Did his family come with him?" Johanna asked.

He shook his head. "No. He's going to send for them after he secures an apartment or affordable home. At least that's what Will says."

Johanna's brow puckered. "Trey, what aren't you telling us? Something doesn't sound right."

He blew his breath out dejectedly. "Will already hired him."

"Does he have the authority?" Frankie asked, surprised. "I don't mean to pry into your personal affairs, Trey, so please don't take it the wrong way."

"I'm not," he assured Frankie with a weak smile. He folded his hands. "I've given Will some authority due to our personal relationship, but never any authority where it concerns the finances of the business. Even with minor decisions, he's always come to me first to seek my approval before moving ahead. That's what makes this whole situation so strange."

"Have you confronted Will about hiring him?" Frankie questioned.

"I only found out he'd gone ahead and hired Kyle after I called you this morning, Johanna. I should have called you back and told you right away, but I'm still processing it. Needless to say, I did let Will know in no uncertain terms that I wasn't happy about it." He swallowed hard. "I don't know what to do. I can't believe Will would do something like this. He has no authority to hire anyone and he knows it."

"You've gone quiet." Frankie took her elbow as they made their way to the car. "What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?"

"Something's not right, Frankie."

Frankie's eyes slanted. "You think?"

"I want to contact past and present friends of Kendall's."

Frankie turned her head and looked at her. "From what Alec said, she never confided in anyone. Now that would be a waste of time and effort."

"I suppose you're right. It was just a thought. I'll put it on the back burner for now." Johanna pursed her lips. "You know we won't be happy until Thatcher gets nailed for more than screwing around on his wife. And we want to be a part of his take down."

"I know, hon, but we keep rehashing the same thing over and over. Let's take it one step at a time. Alec knows we'll uncover more. He expects nothing less from us." She grinned wryly.

He leaned forward in his chair. "There was a horrific murder committed in a small town near Bradford over thirty-five years ago. Does the name Carson Fellows mean anything to you?"

There was a sharp intake of air and then an ominous silence at the end of the line. "Mom, are you still there?" Frankie asked worriedly after several seconds had elapsed.

"I'm…I'm here." Selma cleared her throat. "It's all over town that the murdering rapist son-of-a-bitch is out of prison. We'd have never known if he hadn't violated his parole. Out only six months. He never should have been released after what he did."

Frankie and Johanna looked at each other in shock. Selma rarely uttered a curse word, but when she did, it meant her normally pleasant, slow to anger demeanor had reached the boiling point and control was no longer possible.

"Has anyone in Bradford spotted him?" the Sheriff asked. "Has he tried to make contact with anyone he might have been acquainted with from his past?"

"No. I doubt he'd dare show his face here again. He wouldn't last a day. Actually, there's no reason for him to come here anyway. He has no family or friends left here."

"That's what I thought," George answered quietly. He ran a large hand over his jaw. "Selma, I have to tell you something, but I need you to promise me that you'll stay calm."

Saturday's Excerpt – Partners: Blinded By The Trees

Johanna shuddered. "I'll give you everything you want, baby." She helped Frankie out of her clothes and then stood back admiring her lover's body.

Frankie guided her to their large bed. "You know what I'd like to do? Something we haven't done in a long time."

"What's that?"

"Let's take a bubble bath together. A nice long relaxing bubble bath."

Johanna's eyes lit up. "I'll get the CD player and you start the bath."

Frankie ran the bath water while Johanna found a CD filled with romantic songs and then lit some candles and placed them on the bathroom counters. As the music played softly in the background Frankie stepped into the bathtub and then took Johanna's hand and helped her in. The light lilac fragrance of the bubbles and the flickering lights from the candles Johanna had placed on the counter cast the room in an inviting sexy ambiance.

Frankie leaned back and held Johanna against her. "This is nice," she murmured. "So relaxing." She sighed contentedly as she stroked Johanna's cheek with the back of her hand.

Saturday's Excerpt – 2 In 1: Partners

Once inside the bedroom Frankie stripped off her clothes, then climbed into bed and huddled under the heavy blankets and comforter. The howling wind with its lonely desolate sound made her yearn for Johanna's warm body cuddled next to her. She bur-rowed even deeper under the covers. She hoped Johanna wouldn't be long. She yawned as her mind drifted over the odd events of the night until exhaustion overtook her and she eventually fell into a fitful sleep.

Two hours later she awakened when the bedroom door quietly opened and closed. She heard Johanna tiptoe into the darkened room and listened to the sounds of Johanna removing her clothes. A moment later Johanna slipped into bed and rolled onto her side pressing her body tightly against Frankie's back.

The heat from Johanna's body as her smooth skin touched Frankie's was overpowering. When Johanna wrapped her arms around her, Frankie murmured contentedly. She always had the feeling of peace and security when Johanna was next to her.

"Babe, I know you're not asleep," Johanna whispered close to her ear. She ran a hand over Frankie's bare shoulder. "I need you, Frankie, more now than I ever have. I'm so scared, baby. Please hold me."

Saturday's Excerpt – Partners: The Other Woman

"Well, that's really none of my business and personally I couldn't care less. I'm sure you can find another PI to help you. Or better yet turn it over to the police. That's what you should have done in the first place. If the threats are postmarked from Atlantic City, then you should contact the authorities there."

"I can't go to the police."

"Gretchen, I don't really give a damn about you or whatever mess you've gotten yourself into." Johanna threw her hands up in exasperation. "Look, it's late and I'd like to go to bed so I'm asking you politely to leave. If you don't, I'll call the sheriff."

Gretchen's back stiffened and her eyes flashed angrily as she rose. "You haven't heard the last of me." She put her coat on not bothering to button it. "Your perfect little world is going to come crashing down, Jo. Sooner than you think." She straightened her shoulders as she passed Frankie. "Personally I think you could have done much better." She turned on her heel and seconds later slammed out of the door. A couple of minutes later her car roared down the driveway. After waiting a few minutes, Frankie walked over to the security system and secured the gate.
