Dressed to Kill

Kelly got dressed painstakingly for the party at Rafe and Eliza’s. She had met Eliza before and liked her a great deal. But after her friendly date with Rafe first telling her about an intimate experience he had with his wife’s significant other–they ended up having a moment at the bar. He told her that […]

The Alpha—Retro

I am reposting my first Wicked Wednesday post—#97–in honor of the 500th post. I was burning to write this story, and almost eight years later, Eliza and ensemble are still going strong!!! Hotel Eliza was always waiting. As a younger woman with her friends in bars looking for Mr. Goodbar like the novel and movie […]

RETRO: CHRISTMAS CAROL

Rafe held Eliza tight to him, his breath sweet with amaretto from the Disaronno that they put in the eggnog while they listened to Christmas carols on the sofa. Eliza pressed her cheek to his chest, and closed her eyes. She loved feeling this close to him, and sunk deeper into the emotion. Her phone […]

Influencer

Kelly was Jeanne’s friend. His sister-in-law had done an article on Kelly as an influencer. Rafe knew Kelly, she was gorgeous and all over with the globe and media with her luxury lifestyle. He knew her right away, sitting at the bar that she was paid to sit at and look beautiful. Her waist-length ponytail […]

RETRO: DARK STREET (SEVERINE)

Severine had travelled so many parts of the world, places that many people might never see in their lifetime. But as a flight attendant they were places that she would not just see once, but maybe even revisit many times over. Though at the end of the day, her world was Paris and New York. […]

RETRO: ONE YEAR OLD

It was her own fault, she had let it happen. It was Bibi’s birthday party, and the secret that Eliza learned was that that young it was really just an adult party. She and Rafecatered the entire thing, and there was flowing liquor which made everyone happier. She was starting to work from home, so […]

RETRO: TULLE

Jeanne stood on the terrace looking at the New York skyline. They were so high up, they could look into the other boroughs. She stood there with a cocktail holding Eliza’s hand. “Thanks for inviting me and Terrence,” she said to her sister. Eliza squeezed her hand as a way of a response. Out of […]

ROSEBUD—RETRO

He could not keep his hands off of her breasts, pulling just gently but firmly enough on her nipples. Her internal gasps every time he touched her were overwhelming, Jeanne felt like she was going to explode. And then his eyes, it almost hurt to look at them because they were so beautiful. It was […]

RETRO: JACKPOT “He’s so in something with you,” Jeanne had said looking at Eliza. “We’re just in an awkward place, I mean we recently started sleeping with each other again so he kind of expects that from me? I mean he even wondered if the baby is Rafe’s,” Eliza stated calmly. Eliza was not going to make any apologies, […]

Home Cooking

Jeanne walked into Eliza’s apartment with Bibi and Terrence. Terrence squeezed her hand as they did. Eliza donned a fancy apron edged in ruffles, and Rafe and Oscar were both in the kitchen as if they were sous chefs to her in aprons as well.  Her sister scooped up her daughter, who wrapped her arms […]
