    Orion walked further downstream. He made himself comfortable under an oak tree. His miserable silence was interrupted by the rustle of leaves beside of him. He looked over to see a small pair of black shoes with artificially browned feet and legs attached to them, standing beside of him.     “Disappointed?” Floria’s voiceContinue reading “Coreopsis 19 a”

    “Are you here to badger me some more?” Sarah snapped.    The Count rested his hands on her shoulders.    “No, I only wanted to apologize.”    “Thank you.”    He stood there staring across the lake. Neither of them moved.    “What?” She barked. “What do you want?”    The Count wasContinue reading “Coreopsis 18 c”

     Sarah went outside finding the path by the wall the Count told her about. The path led to the river. There on the sandy bank she stood watching the calmness of the water drift past; her mind a million miles away.     “I was afraid you wouldn’t show.”    She didn’t acknowledge hisContinue reading “Coreopsis 18 b”

     Sarah stood in front of the full-length mirror in her chambers. She thought it was odd calling living quarters ‘chambers’. The space that she was staying in was bigger than her house.     As she looked in the mirror, she smoothed out her skirt. She had lost a couple pounds but it wasContinue reading “Coreopsis 18 a”

Sarah had just lain down when there was a knock at her door. She flipped on a lamp, “come.”     Orion entered her room with a wild look on his face, “what’s wrong?”    “I want you to meet someone.”    “Orion, it’s two in the morning.”    “Humor me.” He was upset.    SheContinue reading “Coreopsis 17 b”

     Juliah had just gotten out of the tub. Michael was standing at the foot of the bed naked. Exactly where she wanted him. She was wrapped only in a towel. There was a series of three knocks on the door. Michael thought it was odd that Juliah didn’t automatically answer. Instead, she wentContinue reading “Coreopsis 17 a”

   Orion looked up, “Well lookie here.” He muttered. Juliah and Sarah looked up to see who he was looking at. “Count Higte.” He remarked. “What rock did he crawl out from under?”     Juliah concealed a laugh. “I know he is an old friend of dad’s but he scares the hell out of me.”Continue reading “Coreopsis 16 c”

   Juliah ran over to the band conductor.     “I know what that is about.” Sarah sighed. “We really aren’t in the clothing to do this.”    Juliah returned smiling.     “Come.” Orion offered. They followed him out of the room. “We have five minutes before they change the song. According to Sarah, we areContinue reading “Coreopsis 16 b”

That night Juliah and Michael only danced one dance together. During which she asked, “What brought on that little spark?”    “I was going to ask for your permission but it didn’t seem appropriate. I knew if you objected to my touch you would have told, shown me.”    “I enjoyed it. I thought youContinue reading “Coreopsis 16 a”

   Juliah walked into her chamber. The door was closed behind her. Michael was standing at the foot of the bed, with only the G-string on. The bed was a giant four poster bed with a matching comforter and canopy. They were white silk and adorned with ruffles. The big French doors had matching curtains.Continue reading “Coreopsis 15 b”
