Echo Pool
$6.99 – $14.99 Siminoe, Jonathon
Select options$6.99 – $14.99Select optionsSpending money in Thailand is much easier than making it. DUKE, a mid-thirties bachelor, has learned this lesson the hard way. His business has failed, and the savings he’d built, while living a dual life as both a high school teacher and a professional gambler is gone. He is also feeling emotionally bankrupt as his Thai girlfriend, ARRAYA, a beautiful and compassionate young lady, is harboring a desire for marriage. This realization sends Duke into an introspective journey deep within the echo pool – the place where past lives reside – in order to learn from his past and find direction for his future.
His life in Bangkok is an exciting one, as his wealthy Thai friends are generous entertainers; but no matter what diversions he finds within one of Asia’s most exciting cities, everything seems to trigger the memories of his lost home. But if Duke wants to survive, he must relive the lessons of his father – as painful as those recollections are – in order to find his roots and strength again.Quick View -

Come Here…and I’ll Show You
$4.99 Lantin, Derek
Add to cart$4.99Add to cartHalf an hour later I’m still workin’ an’ I’m makin’ good progress. But I get interrupted. The chick is gettin’ bored sittin’ in bed by herself. She calls out with a real soft voice an’ summons me to some more arduous tasks in the bedroom. I slurp down another drink to damp down the fires of lust.
“Natalie,” I tell her, “I’ll be with you in a few minutes. I just gotta finish this last check-list.”
But she wasn’t to be put off. She undulated into the room, came behind me an’ put her arms around my neck. Her naked little body seemed to glow in the half-light of the room, her bare arms were silken an’ brown. Lights were dancin’ in her eyes as she pouted an invitation to me.
“Pleease..,.” she purred.
By that time I was pawin’ the ground for it. All I could do was get my kit off an’ jump into bed.Quick View
