"Next Friday?" Brian repeated. That was the day of the Halliport University's homecoming. Brian intended to use that event to market Brey Jewelry amongst his friends, professors, and other affluent alumni. He certainly hoped that Mr. Ace intended to meet him in the morning so he could still attend

“My mother began suspecting Amber, but I really liked her then and fought for her. I told my mom that Amber would never do such a thing. I even left home for two weeks, resulting in another headline suggesting Grandpa was losing grip on his family.”“So, it was all Amber?” Charlie asked, turning to

Grayson, Taylor’s father, leaned forward with interest and asked, “So, Charlie, tell us about yourself?”Mr. West was much like his sons—a tall man with blond hair. Unlike Taylor, he wore glasses. The lines on his face suggested he was about forty-eight or forty-nine years old. He wore a long-sleeve

Taylor was looking forward to his one-minute kiss. He turned to Charlie, about ready to jump, but instead of getting into the water, he froze!His heart raced.He found it hard to breathe!His mouth seemed to drop to the Earth’s core, and finally, his dick rose.“What the hell,” Taylor muttered, his
Charlie smiled, saying, “Well, I’m glad to have helped.”“My dad married into a wealthy family,” Taylor continued. “He never admitted it, but I knew he struggled to meet my grandparents’ expectations. My grandfather helped him with the City Engineer position, seeing it as an act of generosity rather
