House of Joy
Hidden in the sticks, Forbidden love, house of tricks, Lonely man finds joy. I’m sorry. A little rough around the edges there, but what the hell. Couldn’t resist. I’m finding solace in humor and lightheartedness […]

Steakhouse rendezvous, Moonlit kisses for dessert, Icing on the cake. This is a bit foreign to me since dating is NOT in my vocabulary at the moment, but what the heck. Now that I think […]
