8 Common Childhood Nightmares & What They Mean, According To Experts
Dreams can reveal a lot about the state of our psyche. Specific thoughts manifest into "naked in front of the class" dreams, and certain anxieties can result in night terrors of the especially unsettling variety. For children, it can be especially terrifying to wake up in a cold sweat, heart pounding, unsure of what's real and what isn't. So, as a parent, it pays to know about the common childhood nightmares and what they mean. While you can't keep your child from having nightmares, you can interpret your little one's fears and, hopefully, assist your child in overcoming them.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, 10 to 50 percent of children between the ages of 3 and 6 have nightmares "significant enough to disturb their parents." DreamDictionary.Org, which offers an interactive dream forum for members to analyze their dreams, defines a nightmare as "a dream that occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that results in feelings of strong terror, fear, distress and extreme anxiety." A night terror, on the other hand, is when someone "physically acts out in their sleep by screaming, thrashing, or even crying." And while the American Sleep Association (ASA), an organization dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of sleep and the dangers of sleep disorders, reports that 80-90 percent of the population experiences nightmares at some point in their lives, children are more prone to them than adults. In fact, according to the ASA, a child has one or more scary dreams a week.
As most parents will tell you, sleep disturbances can wreak havoc on everyone in the house. So with that in mind, and because us parents are exhausted enough, here are some of the more common nightmares your child may experience and what they could mean:
Scary Animals
Psychology Today suggests that nightmares about animals may signify an ode to the instincts your child has left behind. "What happens when we neglect, suppress, or otherwise disavow our instincts? They either turn against us — and can be seen as pursuing us in our dreams — or we act them out unconsciously by doing what we feel is taboo — doing in dreams what we won't allow ourselves to do in waking."
DreamsCloud.com, on the other hands, states that this specific type of dream can also be that the animals is reflecting a trait back to your child that he or she has during the daytime.
Monsters Or Ghosts
When your child dreams about a scary monster or ghost, it might symbolize people they're intimidated by, or a negative experience they're continuing to re-live in their sleep. Dream expert Lauri Quinn Lowenberg tells the website Mom.Me.com, "Monsters in a child's dream will be the embodiment of what they fear most, or what's upsetting them at the time in real life."
Toys Coming To Life
Michael Vigo, creator of Dream Moods, tells Mom.me, "When a favorite toy turns into a demonic being, or becomes larger than life, it is an indication that the child is trying to cope or understand a similar waking situation where someone they know suddenly acts out of character." It's an indication your child may be dealing with fear or confusion perpetuated by someone they trust, and dreaming is the only way their mind is able to cope.
Bugs Crawling On Them
Cynthia Richmond, author of Dream Power, tells HuffPost that each bug has it's own meaning, adding the importance of dissecting what's happening with the bug in the dream. It's a sign that something's bothering your child, or stressing them out, and they may feel insecure because of it. Dr. Barbara Condron tells SheKnows.com that, "Nightmares of bugs and spiders point to the development of habits that your child is resisting."
Being Chased
If your child tells you're they're constantly being chased in a nightmare, they might having trouble reaching a particular goal when they're awake. Psychologist and dream specialist Ian Wallace tells The Independent, "In your waking life you're in pursuit of a goal. It's usually nightmarish — a gang running after you and you can't get away — and it means there's something you're pursuing in real life and you're facing some frustrations and can't work out how to attain it." With children it may come down to a stressful situation they can't escape, such as a bad day at school or being in the middle of an adult argument, or frustration about potty training, figuring out a specific toy, or tackling something at the playground.
Being Left Alone
Children need safety and security, and they rely on you to make sure those needs are met. If they're about to spend a night away, separation anxiety can manifest through nightmares, and it's a rather typical coping mechanism. Other sources say this particular dream may also relate to your child's fear of inadequacy.
The most common nightmare that children, and adults, experience is one of falling. A 2016 survey by AmeriSleep revelaed that nightmares about falling could have to do less with your subconscious and more with your nervous system. The research suggest that when your nervous system is done for the day, and your body's completely relaxed, your mind interprets the feelings as a fall.
Being Made Fun Of Or Bullied
A 2014 study in The Journal of Pediatrics found that 36 percent of children with sleep disturbances, or nightmares, have been bullied. If your child is dreaming of being bullied, it can indicate that your child doesn't know how to ask for help with something that's bothering them, they have repressed rage, or someone is holding them back from achieving a goal and they aren't sure how to take a stand.

The origin of clay roofing tile can be traced independently to two different parts of the world: China, during the Neolithic Age, beginning around 10,000 B.C.; and the Middle East, a short time later. From theseregions, the use of clay tile spread throughout Asia and Europe.
Not only the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, but also the Greeks and Romans roofed their buildings with clay tiles, and adaptations of their practice continue in Europe to the present. European settlers brought this roofing tradition to America where it was established in many places by the 17th century. Archeologists have recovered specimens of clay roofing.
Tiles from the 1585 settlement of Roanoke Island in North Carolina. Clay tile was also used in the early English settlements in Jamestown, Virginia, and nearby St. Mary's in Maryland. Clay roofing tiles were also used in the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine in Florida, and by both the French and Spanish in New Orleans.
Dutch settlers on the east coast first imported clay tiles from Holland. By 1650, they had established full scale production of clay tiles in the upper Hudson River Valley, shipping tiles south to New Amsterdam.
Several tile manufacturing operations were in business around the time of the American Revolution, offering both colored and glazed tile and unglazed natural terracotta tile in the New York City area, and in neighboring New Jersey. A 1774 New York newspaper advertised the availability of locally produced, glazed and unglazed pan tiles for sale that were guaranteed to "stand any weather." On the west coast clay tile was first manufactured in wooden molds in 1780 at Mission San Antonio de Padua in California by Indian neophytes under the direction of Spanish missionaries. By far the most significant factor in popularizing clay roofing tiles during the Colonial period in America was the concern with fire. Devastating fires in London, 1666, and Boston in 1679, prompted the establishment of building and fire codes in New York and Boston. These fire codes, which remained in effect for almost two centuries, encouraged the use of tile for roofs, especially in urban areas, because of its fireproof qualities. Clay roofing tile was also preferred because of its durability, ease of maintenance, and lack of thermal conductivity. Although more efficient production methods had lowered the cost of clay tile, its use began to decline in much of the northeastern United States during the second quarter of the 19th century.
In most areas outside city designated fire districts, wood shingles were used widely; they were more affordable and much lighter, and required less heavy and less expensive roof framing. In addition, new fire resistant materials were becoming available that could be used for roofing, including slate, and metals such as copper, iron, tinplate, zinc, and galvanized iron. Many of the metal roofing materials could be installed at a fraction of the cost and weight of clay tile. Even the appearance of clay tile was no longer fashionable, and by the 1830s clay roofing tiles had slipped temporarily out of popularity in many parts of the country.
Revival Styles Renew Interestin Clay Roofing Tiles
Since clay tile frequently outlasted many of the earliest, less permanent structures, it was often reused on later buildings.By the mid19th century, the introduction of the Italianate Villa style of architecture in the United States prompted a new interest in clay tiles for roofing. This had the effect of revitalizing the clay tile manufacturing industry, and by the 1870s, new factories were in business, including large operations in Akron, Ohio, and Baltimore, Maryland. Clay tiles were promoted by the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, which featured several prominent buildings with tile roofs, including a pavilion for the state of New Jersey roofed with clay tiles of local manufacture. Tile making machines were first patented in the 1870s, and although much roofing tile continued to be made by hand, by the 1880s more and more factories were beginning to use machines. The development of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture in the 1890s further strengthened the role of clay roofing tiles as an American building material Alternative substitutes for clay tiles were also needed to meet this new demand. By about 1855, sheet metal roofs designed to replicate the patterns of clay tile were being produced. Usually painted a natural terra cotta color to emulate real clay tile, these sheet metal roofs became popular because they werecheaper and lighter, and easier to install than clay tile roofs.
Clay roofing tiles fell out of fashion again for a short time at the end of the 19th century, but once more gained acceptance in the 20th century, due primarily to the popularity of the Romantic Revival architectural styles, including Mission, Spanish, Mediterranean, Georgian and Renaissance Revival in which clay tile roofs featured prominently. With the availability of machines capable of extruding clay in a variety of forms in large quantities, clay tiles became more readily available across the nation. More regional manufacturing plants were established in areas with large natural deposits of clay, including Alfred, New York; New Lexington, Ohio; Lincoln, California; and Atlanta, Georgia; as well as Indiana, Illinois and Kansas.
The popularity of clay tile roofing, and look alike substitute roofing materials, continues in the 20th century, especially in areas of the South and West-most notably Florida and California-where Mediterranean and Spanish influenced styles of architecture still predominate.
Early Tiles
During the 17th and 18th centuries the most common type of clay roofing tiles used in America were flat and rectangular. They measured approximately 10″ x 6″ x 1/2″ (25cm x 15cm x 1.25cm), and had two nail or peg holes at one end through which they were anchored to the roofing laths. Sometimes a strip of mortar was placed between the overlapping rows of tile to prevent the tiles from lifting in high winds. In addition to flat tiles,interlocking S shaped pan tiles were also used in the 18th century. These were formed by molding clay over tapered sections of logs, and were generally quite large. Alternately termed , crooked, or Flemish tiles, and measuring approximately 14 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ (37cm x 24cm), these interlocking tiles were hung on roofing lath by means of a ridge or lug located on the upper part of the underside of each tile. Both plain (flat) tile and pan tile (S shaped or curved) roofs were capped at the ridge with semicircular ridge tiles. Clay roofing tiles on buildings in mid18th century.
Moravian settlements in Pennsylvania closely resembled those used in Germany at the time. These tiles were about 14″15″ long x 6″7″ wide (36cm38cm x 15cm18cm) with a curved butt, and with vertical grooves to help drainage. They were also designed with a lug or nib on the back so that the tiles could hang on lath without nails or pegs.
The accurate dating of early roofing tiles is difficult and often impossible. Fragments of tile found at archeological sites may indicate the existence of clay tile roofs, but the same type of tile was also sometimes used for other purposes such as paving, and in bake ovens.
Timeless Beauty
Glazed Roofing Tiles Offer Color Permanence, Durability & Resistance to Nature's Elements
The proper selection of roofing tile for a building or home can be as important as an artist selecting a frame for an art masterpiece. The artist strives to select a frame that will enhance the artwork, while maintaining the beauty of the painting. When choosing clay roofing tile, a product with up to a 75 year warranty, it is also important to select tile that provides a special look to enhance the building structure. Ceramic glazed roofing tile is often the best choice.
Available in a wide range of colors in glossy or matte finishes, glazed roofing tiles will never fade or change in appearance. The glazed surface is an impervious, durable inorganic coating that resists mildew and seals the surface of the natural clay body. The glaze is composed of carefully selected materials which melt and fuse with the tile during the firing process. The glaze raw materials are naturally occurring minerals such as clay, feldspar, calcium carbonate and often frit, a pre-reacted glass melted from minerals and oxides. Just as the glaze coating is a combination of carefully selected natural materials, the coloring materials are often oxides of natural materials such as iron, copper, cobalt, manganese and chrome. Blues, greens, white, black, grays, yellows and even fire? engine red are all possiblein ceramic glazes.
Glazing a natural clay product has a long and distinguished history. What history museum would be complete without several examples of fine Greek pottery featuring red and black slip glazes? The red and black figured vases are early examples of ceramic glazes used to decorate and seal the surface of the natural clay body. It is not uncommon that many of these ceramic artifacts are more than 25 centuries old, and still look as fresh and vivid in color as the day they emerged from the potter's kiln. This is truly a testament to the timeless beauty of glazed ceramic products.In like fashion, the beautiful polychromatic glazes on natural terra cotta bodies produced during the Italian Renaissance are a tribute to this art technique.Often used as architectural ornamentation on royal palaces, churches and cathedrals, glazed terra cotta exhibits inherent beauty, while withstanding continuous outdoor exposure for more than five centuries.
Traditionally, several manufacturing techniques are used to create the variety of color appearances in ceramic roofing tiles. First, the selection and blending of colored clays produces the well?known reddish, red orange and buff shades of tiles. In addition, by thoroughly blending natural oxides of metals, such as iron and manganese into the clay body, the color range is extended. Another method is to apply a coating material rich in coloring oxides to the tile, or use materials present in the kiln atmosphere to produce a flash?effect on the tile's surface. The production method with the widest color range is the application of a glaze coating to the tiles. This technique involves applying a durable, inorganic coating that allows for a very broad range of both colors and textures on the tiles. The glaze and tile are fired together in the kiln, fusing the glaze and sealing the surface of the once porous clay body tile. This same manufacturing method is used in producing ceramic floor and wall tile. Consequently, the entire range of colors and textures available in ceramic floor and wall tile are available for roofing tile as well.Ceramic glazed roofing tiles allow the architect, builder or homeowner to create their own distinctive style on their home or building, while maintaining color permanence, durability and unique resistance to the elements of Nature. Ceramic glaze is truly an art of timeless beauty.
Turrets the Easy Way
Clay Tile Turrets are Beautiful, Impressive, and Now are Easier than Ever to Install
There's no doubt about it, roof turrets catch the eye. Tile turrets in particular stand out because of their intricate nature, row patterns, and the craftsmanship required.
They can add distinction to any building and turn an otherwise average project into a source of pride and future recommendations for the architect and contractor alike. But there's a down side: they're labor intensive, can be extremely expensive and can be a constant source of leaks and problems if not properly designed and installed. There's usually a lot of cutting and a lot of waste, as the process normally involves trial and error installation practices. And those perfectly straight tile rows that look so clean? Well, you can forget it unless you choose exactly the right material and the installing crews are craftsmen that are exceptionally well versed at cutting, arranging and installing tile turrets.
How about a clay tile turret? How about a true round fan clay tile turret? Obviously,the costs go up accordingly. Because of this, many building owners will settle for an octagon rather than a true round turret, if they want any sort of turret at all. The expense, limitations of the roofing material and too few contractors willing to attempt tile turrets have limited them in the market for a number of years until recently.
The popularity of turret roofs has grown significantly in the past three years, The turret tiles are custom made for each job to specification, with larger tiles at the bottom, medium sizes in the center and small, tapered tiles at the top. Using computer design, the exact number of each size is calculated and made to fit that particular turret, in the color specified. But what about breakage, always a fact of life in a tile application. Breakage was not really a factor and was as low as 3% or 4%. We just ordered exactly what they recommended. MCA had allowed enough for breakage and everything came out fine. We saved quite a bit on labor and the owner ended up with a better, more watertight roof. There was no cutting or piecing together. At first, we were concerned about possible leakage and wind damage, and this put more pressure on us for this project. The manufacturer recommended the use of a modified bitumen type of underlayment and provided step-by-step installation instructions. Frankly, the job was much easier than we thought and best of all, the finished project looks fantastic!

I hate shaving my legs. And underarms. And feet. I guess that guys like smooth surfaces, so I've been forced to shave a lot lately, especially since its summer (men don't expect you to shave in the winter months, right?! I'm counting on this...). If I get comfortable enough with a man that he might have an opportunity to touch my legs, well, that's it. I usually forget until its too late that I am of Eastern European descent and even if I shaved my legs that morning, they will be the consistency of sandpaper by the time afternoon rolls around. The couple of times I've had my limbs slung over the lap of someone while watching a movie, or whatever, a hand immediately goes to my shin - and then immediately lifts off of it. There is some hesitation, presumably while he decides how to react to the pain that was just inflicted to the baby-bottom-soft palm of his hand. If he's a gentleman, he'll suck it up and put his hand back. If he's not, he'll casually tuck some hair behind his ear or adjust his glasses, then rest his hand awkwardly somewhere near my leg.
I eat like The Beast. I can actually eat politely, don't get me wrong. But recently I was taken out for burritos and, coming from a town that has one burrito establishment called The Big Burrito, and another called Burritos as Big as Your Head, I love me some tortilla-wrapped mess. On this occasion, however, when I picked mine up whole to shove it into my face, I looked across the table to see that my date had kept his on his plate, and was eating it with a knife and fork. I very slowly set mine back down, trying not to draw attention to myself, and picked up my utensils. I looked at them awkwardly, much like The Beast does when contemplating his spoon after first slopping gruel all over himself, before looking at Belle and realizing that he wasn't using proper table manners. Unfortunately my date didn't take the route Belle did (by adapting to The Beast's shortcomings and also drinking her gruel out of her bowl). So I ate that thing with a knife and fork, too. I used a lot fewer napkins than I normally do - therefore, using utensils saves the earth. I'm into that.
I wear Grandma Chonies. I can't really afford to be going out spending money on things like new underwear. Also, I absolutely hate shopping - in the intimates department or elsewhere. I generally go straight to the sale table and dig around in whatever is left there, which is basically what no one else wanted. They're ugly, garishly-patterned and oddly-cut. I haven't even done this in quite a while, though, so I'm just left with whatever my crazy menstruation hasn't completely ruined each month. Most of my undies at this point are much too big. They're also terribly pilled, stretched and faded - but they're comfy as all get-out! Should I care that they aren't lacy and tiny and silky and...well, sexy? Maybe. But if someone gets up in that business, he'll already be so distracted by trying to act cool about my hairy legs that he won't notice, anyway.
I strongly dislike exercise. There's not really much else to say about this. I'm terribly unfit and, while I realize this will be pretty bad for me at some point, I simply cannot wrap my head around the idea of exercising. It hurts! It sucks! Its hard to breathe! And it just makes me want a beer afterward, which kind of defeats the purpose a little bit, methinks.
To summarize, I need to find a man who likes hairy-bodied food-shoving saggy-chonied out-of-shape women, and then I need to snag him. With my charming personality...

By Martin Heidegger
While Schelling's philosophy is much less identified than that of the opposite significant German Idealists, Fichte and Hegel, he's one of many philosopher with whom Heidegger has the main affinity, making this learn fruitful for an realizing of either philosophers. Heidegger's interpretation of On Human Freedom is the simplest of the experiences to have seemed in English at the Treatise, and is the one paintings that's dedicated to Schelling in Heidegger's corpus. the elemental difficulties at stake in Schelling's Treatise lie on the very middle of the idealist culture: the query of the compatibility of the approach and person freedom, the questions of pantheism and the justification of evil. Schelling used to be the 1st philosopher within the rationalist-idealist culture to grapple heavily with the matter of evil.
These are the nice questions of the philosophical culture. They lead Schelling and, with him, Heidegger, to percentages that come very just about the bounds of the idealist culture. for instance, Schelling's inspiration of the "groundless"--what cause can not floor and explain--points again to Jacob Boehme and in some way ahead to the course of Heidegger's personal inquiry into "Being." Heidegger's studying of Schelling, particularly of the subjects of evil and freedom, sincerely exhibits Schelling's impact on Heidegger's views.

If you're reading this you're probably wondering how you're ever going to recover debts from unwilling debtors. Recovering debts is never an easy step for many businesses to take because of how time consuming it usually is. This is why we have issued out clear and easy steps to recovering your debts. After reading this, you will know the necessary steps to take when looking to recover your commercial debts.
As any company knows, late payments can have a devastating effect on operational functions. Whilst businesses must receive payment in full in order to remain profitable, they must also receive the funds in a timely manner to ensure that they can continue to operate.
Commercial disputes can prove costly for all types of businesses. Whether you operate as a sole trader, an SME or as a multinational corporation, resolving disputes quickly is key to maintaining good cashflow and the ongoing success of the business. Whilst disputes can arise over any type of business transaction, issues relating to goods or services supplied commonly arise when you start chasing your client or customer for outstanding payments.
When you have issued a claim and the defendant defends your debt, you can either settle the matter or go to a hearing for the Court to resolve the dispute. Before reaching a hearing at the Court, each case has to be allotted to a "track".
Debt recovery for the education sector is a varied and complicated issue, particularly for the higher education sector including universities and distance learning providers. Overdue payments can range from library or parking fines, to unpaid accommodation or even tuition fees. At a time when education system budgets are under severe pressure, it is of the utmost importance for any institution to stay on top of its cash flow and secure any late payments through a debt collector.
Lovetts Responds To Business Secretary's Proposals
Secretary of State for Business Sajid Javid has today confirmed the creation of a Small Business Conciliation Service to help settle disputes between small and large businesses, especially over late payment practices. This will form part of the government's new Enterprise Bill.
The Challenge
Lovetts' client is a major property services company.
It had a debt owed by one of the largest heating manufacturers and suppliers of boilers. The client was contracted to fit boilers for a third party at a fixed price per boiler throughout the term of the contract. The client's contract with the debtor likewise provided for supply at fixed prices. The debtor did not honor that agreement, raising the price each year, but the client had to honor its agreement with the third party to avoid a breach of contract and reluctantly paid for the boilers at the increased prices.
How To React To A Defence
Defences should be carefully read and considered. Whilst the defendant must prove its defence you must have documentary evidence, or a credible witness who will attend court, to prove yours.

After a long four years, the night of the prom was here. Everybody in my class was going with their dates. Lucky me, I had my girl. Her name was Samantha Myers. She was the most beautiful girl Mom and son sexfull story had ever seen. Most guys in my school went after the cheerleader bitch with the giant tits and big ass.
But not me. Sam was the kind of girl who was shy on the outside, but had a wild and crazy part to her. She was fairly short, a 5'4" to my 5'10". She had nice, long, skinny legs. She had a tiny waist and small breasts. She wasn't flat chested, but she was pretty damn near it. Her eyes were as green as a forest, and just as beautiful as one. They were absolutely breathtaking to look into.
Her hair was as black as midnight and had a straight flow all the way to the middle of her back. Most of the time she used it to cover one of her eyes.
She looked so damn hot when she did that. Now about me. My name is Jacob Feldman. You already know my height. I am the star pitcher for our high school baseball team. I am a beefy dude, with large arms and great abs. Just like Samantha, I have green eyes and black hair. Except, my eyes are more of a dark green. I have short hair that I usually spike up. I am a very handsome guy.
Most people are still confused why I am dating Samantha and not some cheerleader. The reason for that is I am not your average jock. I am in honors classes, have straight A's, and I am in the drama club. Most of the jocks tailor shop aunty lasiban sex my school spend their time blowing off homework, drinking, smoking, and having sex.
I didn't want to be a part of that, so I waited for the right girl to come into my life. I met Samantha while after school one day during my junior year. I was staying after, helping kids with their homework, and she came up to me with some math she needed help on. I had seen her before in school, but I had never really talked to her. I helped her with math for about an hour, and then we just talked. I found out we had a lot in common. She thought I was your average jerk jock, but she started to like me when we talked.
After about an hour of talking, I told her I had to go home. Before I left, she asked me for my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper and drove home. At about 7 o'clock that same night, I got a text from her. We talked straight from 7 to 10, and found out we had so much in common.
We both loved the Harry Potter books, our favorite subject in school was social studies, we both loved 80's movies and music, the list goes on forever.
We started to hang out for about a month after that. We were thick as theives, the two of us. We hung out so much people automatically started to think we were dating. And so, after knowing each other for two months, we started going out. A lot of people take one look at Sam and accuse her of being a slut because of how she dresses and how she looks.
But, on one summer night, I found out they were all wrong. She told me she was actually a virgin and didn't want to have sex until she met someone she really cared about. That very same night, we both lost our virginity. We were at her house when she told me. Her parents were gone for the night, leaving just the two of us. We started making out, and pretty soon we were in nothing but our underwear. I broke our kiss to ask her if she was sure she was ready. When she handed me a condom, I knew she was.
I already knew how to put on a condom from our health class at school. I got in on very quickly and brought my dick to her little shaved pussy. I started going very slowly into her as to not hurt her. Once I was fully in, I layed still for a moment so she could get comfortable with the feeling. Once she told me to start, I started to pull out slowly. I then started to go back in, and repeated this process, slowly speeding each of my thrusts up.
She let out small moans of pleasure as I slowly humped her. The feeling of having sex for the first time was amazing. I took her bra off to look at her boobs. They were just tiny things, but they were beautiful. I started squeezing and grabbing her boobs as I thrusted in and out of her.
I played with her nipples until they became rock hard. From the sounds of her moans, I knew she loved it when I played with her boobs. I was billy wood actress xxx storys inside of her a short time before I came.
Her virgin pussy was so tight it made me shoot way more of my load than I thought I would. Thank God for the condom she had. I pulled out of her slowly, not wanting to hurt her.
I made sure to throw the condom away in a way her parents wouldn't find out. We then layed in her bed, naked, and made out until we heard her parents car pull in the driveway.
We quickly got dressed and back to doing two raunchy blondes share a bbc interracial big tits. As time went on, we had sex a lot more. We learned a lot about each other's bodies and got better and better at having sex. We dated straight though senior year. Soon, the prom was near. I had never seen her dress, so I didn't know what to expect. I myself was looking fly with a black suit and black shirt. I had my hair nice and neat, flowing off to the left.
I had rented a limo for this night, so I was prepared. When I got to her house, I ran up the steps and knocked on the door. Her father opened the door and invited me in. He told me she was upstairs and he called her down.
I looked up the staris, and what I saw I will never forget. She was wearing a dark red dress. It didn't cover her shoulders, and showed a little cleavage. It hugged her slender body down until her waist. She was wearing lipstick that matched her dress and a little eye make-up. Her hair wasn't straight anymore. She went with a curl that came around the right side of her face and down her chest. She looked so stunning that I stared at her with my jaw on the floor as she came down the stairs.
I brought her outside and she got super excited when she saw the limo. She kicked one leg up, gave a little squeal, and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled, linked her arm with mine, and walked her down the stairs. I opened the door for her to go in, and I went in after her. We then drove to the prom. We slow danced the whole prom, our eyes never leaving each other's. Occaisonally, they would play a loud fast song.
When those came on, Sam would start grinding up on me. She had never done it before, but I liked it. While we were slow dancing to one song, however, she started biting her lip and looking down. They then played a fast song, and she started grinding up on me. I knew that she was horny because she was grinding very intensely against my bulge.
I could feel my dick getting harder and harder in my pants. I finally decided I need to fuck her now. So, I grabbed her hand and we snuck away to the locker rooms unnoticed. After making sure nobody was going to get into the room, we started making out very heavily. I ran my hands around her waist and back and hair. I then layed her down on one of the benches and made out with her even harder. I moved my hands up from her lower stomach to her tits. At first I just brushed them with my fingertips, but then I started grabbing them harder and harder.
She ran her hands down to my belt and took it off. She then pulled my pants down and started grabbing my cock. I knew she wanted more than just young milf and mom a fucking family affair it, so I stood up and she got down on her knees.
She pulled my boxers off and I kicked my pants and boxers away. She then took my 7 inch cock in her hands and started jerking me off until I had a raging hard on.
She then started to suck me. I grabbed her head as she bobbed up and down on my hard cock. She made sucking noises and started to go faster and faster. The feeling was so amazing, but this obviously was not my first blowjob. I held my cum in as long as I could, but soon I started cumming in her mouth. To help us increase our knowledge on sex, we watched a ton of Internet porn. After watching all that porn, she swallowed all of my cum like a pro. While she was swallowing my cum, I took the rest of my clothes off.
When she swallowed it all, she stood up and turned around. I unzipped foxy teenage babe rides a fat pole blonde and cream dress and took it off. Under it she was wearing a red bra and black panties.
She looked insanely hot. I layed her on the bench and got in between her legs. She wrapped her legs around my waist as I undid her bra and threw it on the ground. I started squeezinge tits and nipple as she moaned loudly. I put my mouth to one of her tits and sucked on johnny sins vs emma butt nipple.
When I got done sucking her nipple, I went on to her other one. She moaned out in pleasure and slow fack seky xxx nagiria her back up.
As I sucked her nipples, I brought one of my hands down to her panties. I rubbed her little pussy on top of her panties.
I could feel her little tight pussy start to get wet and she started moaning loudly. I stopped sucking her nipple and lowered myself down to her pussy. I slowly took her panties off and saw her beautiful, tight, shaved, wet pussy. I brought my mouth to her pussy and started to like her. She moaned very loudly and kept moving her hips. I brought my hands up and started playing with her tits and nipples while I ate her out.
She loved every second of it. After only a couple of seconds, she started cumming. She screamed in pleasure as she came. I then stood up and dragged her to the edge of the bench. I grabbed my hard cock and brought it to her pussy.
I then shoved my cock into her very fast. She yelled out in pleasure as I started to thrust in and out of her, fucking her tight pussy with lightning speed. I rubbed her clit as I fucked her and she started moaning and screaming and yelling, "Oh fuck!
Oh fuck! Harder Jacob, harder! Fuck me Jacob, fuck me! Right there! Right fucking there! Oh God, yes! FUCK MY LITTLE PUSSY JACOB!
FUCK MY LITTLE PUSSY!" Her tiny tits bounced up and done with each of my thrusts. I stopped rubbing her clit and brought my hands up to her tits. I squeezed her little tits and fucked her at the same time. I pulled my cock out of her and she flipped over on the bench. I grabbed her ass and started to fuck her from behind. She screamed out as I fucked her tiny ass. Her ass jiggled with each thrust of my hard cock. She kept on yelling, "Oh my God Jacob!
Fuck my little ass! Squeeze it! Harder! Fuck me harder! Oh God yes!" I kept on thrusting in and out of her tight pussy. The sound of her moans mixed with the smack of my skin on her ass filled the locker room. I pulled out of her and she got up off the bench. I pushed her up against the wall and lifted her leg up. She grabbed my cock with her hand and brought me to her pussy. I thrusted into her and started to fuck her against the wall. She buried her head into my shoulder and moaned out as I put my hands against the wall and slammed her pussy as hard and as fast as I could.
I felt my balls start to tingle and I knew I was about to cum. I knew I had to pull out because I didn't have a condom. I started moaning loudly, hinting that I was about to cum. I started speeding up my thrusts to finish faster. I held in my cum for as long as I could, but soon I had to pull out. I pulled out while moaning and she dropped down to her knees. She started jerking me off hard and fast.
I started saying, "Oh shit. Oh shit baby. I'm gonna cum. I'm gonna cum all over you. OH FUCK!" I yelled out as I shot cum all over her face. I kept pumping the white semen all over her beautiful face. She had her eyes closed as the cum covered her face. After a solid ten seconds of cumming, my cock finally ran out.
Samantha was covered in cum.
She started wiping it off with her fingers and swallowing it. Once we both got cleaned up, we got dressed and headed back to the prom. We were able to sneak back in without anybody noticing us. After the prom, I brought her back home. The wild hot sex we had in that locker room would forever remain our dirty little secret.

CREAM walls were mixed with warm earth-tone shades of brown, yellow, and green that highlighted the bedding, furniture, and accessories. The room was designed to be soothing, cozy, and Jess Jenkins hated every detail of it. The small two-hundred-square-foot room had been his home for over four months, and nearly every waking moment of those 137 days, all he wanted to do was leave. Every thought and action he'd experienced was centered on one or both of two things: walking again and leaving the Tulsa Rehabilitation Center. Today he'd finally reached at least one of his goals—he was going home. Although he had worked his ass off to get to this point, and it was what he wanted, he was also scared shitless to leave. So much had happened since he'd gotten behind the wheel of his truck six months ago. What should have been a thirty-minute errand turned out to be a journey into hell.
Preparing to restart his life, Jess took in his suitcase sitting by the door and couldn't help but reflect on how he had ended up here, a forever-changed man. From his earliest memories, he'd always been the kind of person who put the needs of others before his own desires. His mom had been the same way, always putting Jess and his dad before her own dreams. Victoria Jenkins had lived a good life, had found her pleasure in caring for and loving those in her life, and Jess always dreamed of finding the same love and happiness out of simplicity. He hadn't strived for something he thought was unrealistic or impossible. To own a small piece of land, to share his life and love with that one special person had been what he'd desired most in life; instead, he'd lived his life for others.
College hadn't been his idea; it had been his father's dream. Since first tossing a ball with his dad on the front lawn, he'd loved football. Given his height, large frame, and powerful body, he was a natural defensive tackle and damn good in that position. Jess had been proud of the fact that he'd been scouted and his hard work on the football field had been recognized in the form of a full-ride scholarship to Auburn University. Yet, if he'd had his way, he would have declined the offer. Instead, he'd packed his bags, left the job he loved as a ranch hand, and headed to Auburn, Alabama, the fall after his senior year of high school. He left Pegasus, not out of any need of his own, but rather to fulfill his dad's dream of seeing his son become the first one in their family to attend college. He never admitted it to his dad, but one of the happiest moments in his life had been when he blew his knee out during his sophomore year. One part of him had mourned the end of his football career; the other side—his true side—celebrated. The injury meant he could return to Pegasus and to his true dream: ranching.
Even Jess's one long-term relationship hadn't been about what he truly wanted but what he thought his lover needed. Jess rolled his wheelchair to the large window that overlooked the back gardens of the rehab center, a place he'd spent hours in, dreaming about the moment when he could return home. His gaze settled on the large oaks. Beneath their branches is where he'd sat and acknowledged his heartbreak and guilt over Lorcan James.
The first moment he'd spotted the tall, slender man with warm brown eyes and the most gorgeous fall of chestnut hair he'd ever seen, Jess had been smitten. Jess smiled when he remembered just how smitten he'd been. It had been obvious by the first words that had popped out of his mouth—"I think I'm in love." He'd never seen a more beautiful man in print, on screen, or in life, than Lorcan; to this day, it was still true. After long hours spent reflecting on his relationship, Jess realized it was the sadness in Lorcan's gaze that had called to Jess. The pain in those tormented brown eyes prompted him to act. Even before they spoke a single word to each other, Jess had known Lorcan was in love with Quinn Taylor. It was written all over the younger man's face each time he looked at the ranch owner. Still, Jess had pursued him. He hated seeing the hurt in Lorcan's eyes, knew what it felt like to love the wrong person, and through that shared experience, they became not only lovers but also best friends. What they never found together was true love. It was the reason he'd cut him out of his life the way he had in a "Dear John"—or rather a "Dear Lorcan"—letter.
The special bond between them kept Lorcan at Jess's side after his accident. Did Lorcan love him? Absolutely, as much as he could, and Jess in turn loved him, but not the way a man should love his partner. Lorcan would have never walked away; the man was just too caring to do something like turn his back on a friend. Their bond also would have resulted in Lorcan throwing away his chance at true love. Jess couldn't allow that to happen, couldn't allow his friend to settle and put the needs of others before his own as Jess had done. The words he'd written in his letter still rang true.
Remember when I told you our hearts don't always pick the right person for us? In your case, your heart picked exactly the right person for you. A year ago, Quinn didn't deserve someone like you, but he does now, pretty boy. He has stood beside you the entire time you were standing by me. Quinn didn't take my accident as an excuse to move in and try to steal you away. He was patient, loving, and a friend to you when you needed one the most. Even though he wanted more, he put you and your needs first. He's a good man and finally became the man your heart always knew he was. Do you honestly think I would trust Quinn with your heart again if I didn't think he was worthy? Never! I love you, and you will always be my best friend. You belong with Quinn. I always knew that. The accident was my wake-up call. Life is too short to settle, and next time, I won't settle for anything less than someone loving me the way you love Quinn.
Knowing how things had turned out between Lorcan and Quinn and how Jess was able to concentrate on healing instead of worrying, reinforced his belief that committing those words to paper had been the right thing to do. Jess's chest tightened with a twinge of loss as he continued to stare out over the garden, but he didn't regret setting Lorcan free. This place, especially the majestic oaks, would always have a special meaning for him. It was where he not only dealt with his heartbreak at what he'd lost, but also where he'd set aside those feelings and his guilt. Please let me be selfish for the first time in my life. Jess nodded as the words he used to end his letter to Lorcan flittered through his mind. He was being selfish. He was putting his needs first.
Jess turned away from the window at the sound of the door opening and smiled up at Jack as he entered the room. Pushing the morose feeling aside, Jess concentrated on his excitement. "Please tell me you've got the truck running."
"A little impatient, are we?" Jack laughed, then flopped down in the leather chair next to the bed.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"What?" Jack asked, confused.
Maneuvering his chair until he was directly in front of Jack, he glared at him. "Sitting! I'm ready to go, dammit."
Jack shrugged. "We have to wait for Dr. Savona to write the 'scripts for your meds."
He needed to leave before the fear and uncertainty, which had been simmering just below the surface, reared their ugly heads. Don't go there. We're going home. When Jack grabbed the remote off the bedside table and clicked on the TV, Jess wanted to thrash the man. If he thought it would do any good, he would. Jack didn't let the little shit bother him, never raised his voice or took Jess's verbal attacks personally. Irritating bastard!
"Can't he just call them in?" Jess bit out through gritted teeth. "I'm ready to go."
The urge to beat the man increased when Jack gave him an exasperated look and replied, "And we all know the world revolves around you," before turning his attention back to the TV.
Jack ignored him.
Jesus, the man drove him nuts. He'd been like this since Jack first introduced himself as Jess's physical therapist back at Monroe General after Jess had woken from his coma. The man never cut him a bit of slack or felt sorry for Jess, and maybe that was why he'd been compelled to spill his guts to Jack about Lorcan shortly after they met. After working with Jack for little more than a week, Jack had asked, "I take it Lorcan gets the privilege of both your Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" Jack had been teasing, but it had hit home for Jess, and the next thing he knew, he was sharing his fears with this virtual stranger.
Jack was no longer a stranger—coming to Tulsa with him as Jess's private physical therapist and planning to continue that role once Jess returned home—but they no longer talked about Lorcan. In fact, they rarely talked about anything personal. Still, even though Jack drove him nuts, Jess had also come to depend on him. A sly grin curled Jess's lip; he knew how to aggravate Jack as much as the man did him.
Grabbing his exercise ball from the dresser, Jess threw it at the wall above Jack's head, snatching it out of the air before throwing it again. Thump catch. Thump catch. After the tenth time Jess threw the ball and Jack still hadn't responded—although his body had lost the relaxed look—Jess added a chant.
Thump catch. "Oh yeah!"
Thump catch. "God, I'm good."
Thump catch. "Come to daddy."
The volume went up on the TV, and Jack began to tap his fingers against the armrest, but he continued to ignore Jess.
Thump catch. Thump catch. You stubborn shit, ignore this. Jess sang to the tune of Max Davis's song "It's Hard to be Humble" at the top of his lungs, adding his own spin on the song.
"Oh Lord, it's hard to be me, when you have to put up with Jack every day."
Thump catch.
"I can't wait to get out of this place, 'cause I need a break from his face."
Thump catch.
"To know Jack is to suffer. I must have bad karma coming my way."
Thump catch.
"Oh Lord, it's hard to be me, when I have to deal with him each day of the week."
Jack snatched the ball out of the air, and in one fluid movement threw it into the open door of the bathroom, then went to his feet. "Good God, man. Are you a child?"
"No, I want to go home." Jess paused, then grinned up at Jack. "Okay, so that sounded like a petulant three-year-old."
Shaking his head, Jack moved to the door. "Fine, I'll see what I can do about getting them to call in your 'scripts." He opened the door but before he stepped out, he gave Jess an evil grin. "Collin's not here yet. Maybe you should call him and sing to him."
Jess laughed as Jack shut the door. If he could get Jack to do what he wanted, Collin would be a piece of cake. He pulled his cell phone from the front pocket of his jeans and dialed Collin's cell number. He answered on the first ring.
"Hi, Jess. I'm sorry I'm late. There was an accident and—" A loud thud came through the phone followed by "Shit!" from a distance.
There was a sound that reminded Jess of the flapping of wings, followed by another ripe curse, and finally Collin returned to the phone. "Sorry, I dropped my phone." Cluck "No! Come back here. Dammit."
"Was that a chicken?"
"Yeah." Collin groaned. "A truckload of them overturned and there are scared chickens running around everywhere. I was trying to help catch them." Collin huffed out a breath. "I'm not doing so well."
The image of Collin blowing his bangs out of his flushed face had Jess biting down on the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing at the frustration in Collin's voice. The kid had been born with two left feet. Collin had always followed his older brother Josh and Jess around when they were in high school. The youngster—in middle school at the time—wanted to play football, but Collin, although he tried hard, had zero coordination. Another image of clumsy Collin running around chasing chickens popped in his head, and Jess couldn't hold back his burst of laughter.
"I probably should just get back in the truck and go around, huh?"
"That's probably for the best."
"On my way."
Jess ended the call and burst out in another fit of laughter. Poor Collin. Jess was still laughing when Jack returned, but it died in his throat when Jack handed him his discharge papers and announced, "You're all set to leave."
Sweat popped out on Jess's brow, and his hand shook a bit as he accepted the form. His fear slightly overshadowed the excitement for a moment. Deep breath. Jess met Jack's eyes, saw the compassion and understanding in his dark orbs. Knowing both Jack and Collin would be staying at the ranch with him until he settled in was the only thing keeping his fear from consuming him. Taking another deep breath, he folded the paper, tucked it in the pocket of his shirt, and nodded. He was ready to go home.
Chapter One
HUNDREDS, that's how many times he'd been in this very room: weddings, graduations, coming-home and going-away parties, dances, and bazaars. The event changed, but the whitewashed concrete block walls, the black and white tile on the floor, the large overhead industrial lights—those things never changed. The Pegasus Community Center was full of memories, a place where he experienced many firsts that helped shape who he was. At Tracey Matthews's going away party, he'd snuck his first beer from the old scarred wooden bar in the corner. The first time he kissed a girl had been in the coat closet when he was seven. The night he watched his best friend Josh shake his ass on this dance floor with Lynn Adams at a spring dance when he was ten, he'd realized he liked the way Josh moved more than the way Lynn did. Even now, fifteen years later, every face staring at him was familiar; some had known him longer than he knew himself, yet for the first time in his life, Jess Jenkins felt like a complete stranger.
Months he'd been working to get back up on his feet, back to this town and these people. The urinary catheter had been taken out, so at least he was no longer pissing in a bag. Stitches removed, skin and muscle knitting back together, bones mended. He was getting stronger, nerve endings firing, and although he wasn't on his feet, he had hope. Yet his spirit and his heart were still broken just as badly as his body had been lying on the side of a country road. Maybe it wasn't as extreme as it felt, but nearly dying changes a man. Waking up in a hospital and learning a future in a wheelchair is a very real possibility changes any human. Jess hadn't seen any bright lights, felt any otherworldly presence, or seen those who had passed over, but he had come out on the other side changed. The immortality of youth was gone.
Jack's familiar presence surrounded him, the man's strength solid at his back just before he heard him whisper against his ear, "You okay?"
No, he wasn't okay. He could feel each beat of his heart as a painful throb in his temples, and the jittery feeling he'd been experiencing since he'd decided to come here flew into a full assault of get-me-the-fuck-out-of-here nausea. No, he was very not okay.
"I'm fine," he assured Jack.
After pushing through the door and knocking down a large stack of speakers that caused the room to go silent and noisily announced their arrival, Collin rejoined him and Jack. "Oh shit! I am so sorry, Jess," Collin sputtered in hushed tones, coming to Jess's right side, his face red from embarrassment. "Way to make a quiet entrance, huh?"
Jess placed his hand over the one Collin had laid on his forearm and gave him a small smile. "It's okay. I highly doubt the three of us could have snuck in unseen." He turned his attention up to Jack. "My fans await me. Shall we?"
Collin squeezed his arm before standing back, and Jack winked. Jack gave Jess's wheelchair a shove and pushed him farther into the hall. The silence was deafening, and the eyes from the townsfolk felt heavy on his skin, making it prickle. Fuck, he wished someone would say something, the music would start playing, anything to take the glaring attention off the cripple.
Mrs. Church, bless her heart, was the first to break the silence. "Jess! Welcome home. Oh, hon, it's so good to see you."
The stunned silence was broken, and the vacuum that had sucked all the noise out of the room let it loose in a rush of music and voices.
He smiled warmly at her and accepted a hug. "Thank you, good to be home."
"Now you just let me know if you need anything. I got a new delivery boy, and he ain't working nowhere near hard enough to keep him out of trouble. Young'uns today." She shook her head, but her smile as she moved away told Jess that Mrs. Church was indeed very fond of her new delivery boy. More than likely it was her grandson Austin; he had to be about the right age now.
After Mrs. Church stepped back, a line formed. Jess accepted hugs from Joyce and the rest of the women of the quilters' guild, plus Carol and Sue from the beauty salon. Jess accepted handshakes from Doc Parker, Sheriff Ed, his deputies, and soon some of the unease began to wane. That was, until Deputy Cramer stepped aside and Jess realized he was directly in front of the main table and face to face with Lorcan.
Ah, shit! Months of heartbreak and loss, a shitload of shame and guilt—the weight of which made it difficult to lift his head on some days. He thought he'd left those emotions beneath the oaks, but they flooded back in his system in a rush, leaving him a little shaken. Jess knew this moment was going to be difficult, but, Christ, it sucked even worse than he had imagined. Lorcan's warm brown eyes had always been easy to read, a window to what the man was feeling. Seeing the same doubt, uncertainty, guilt, love, and warmth that Jess was feeling all waging war with each other in those brown pools, made Jess's chest constrict painfully and a lump form in his throat.
As he and Lorcan continued to stare at each other, a multitude of unspoken words passed between them, such as hello, I missed you, and I'm sorry. Jess could feel both Jack and Collin inch closer to him, like sentries on guard, ready to protect him against any hurt or pain. Both men had become very protective of him, something that at times soothed him and at others smothered him. But loss wasn't something that could be guarded against.
"Good Lord, Jess. It's about time you got your ass home. Give us a hug," Conner demanded, jumping to his feet and throwing himself at Jess.
The spell between Jess and Lorcan broke in that instant. They would need to find time to talk, but not here, not today. Today was about John and Conner, and he forced his gaze from Lorcan and turned his attention to Conner.
Jess laughed and hugged Conner back. "Good to see ya, ol' man."
"Are you home for good now?" Conner asked, pulling back from the hug and patting Jess's arm.
"Yeah, I think I wore out my welcome at the rehab."
Jess stole a glance at Lorcan. He looked shocked, but at least he didn't seem to be disappointed about Jess's return to Pegasus.
As Conner said his hellos to Jack and Collin, Jess turned his attention to Lorcan's parents. Caroline's eyes were red-rimmed and tears rolled down her cheeks, but she had a beautiful smile on her face that tugged at Jess's heart. She and Matthew had taken him in when he'd first arrived in Indiana, had made him part of their family, and he had shoved them out of his life as thoroughly as he had Lorcan.
He and Caroline stared at each other, Jess scrambling for something to say but coming up blank. What did a man say to a woman who he'd turned his back on after she had shown him nothing but love and care? Maybe words weren't needed right now. Both Caroline and Matthew rose from their chairs, Matthew offering his hand. "Welcome home, Jess."
Caroline leaned down and hugged him before he could respond. "You look so wonderful. I've missed you."
He held her tight, wishing he could say more, but all he could get past the lump in his throat was "Thank you."
"We'll talk soon, yes?"
He nodded and did his best to give her and Matthew a smile. "Soon," he promised.
Jess's right calf cramped painfully, nerves and tension beginning to take their toll. He knew what was coming but was determined not to let it stop him. Please not here. Rolling his shoulders and unclenching his fists, he did his best to relax. He could do this.
Jess turned his attentions to John. He looked as if he'd lost a lot of weight, his skin an odd gray tone, but his welcoming smile was still stretched wide.
"Hey, John. A welcome home to you too is in order."
"Thanks, good to be home. I'm sure you've had your share of hospitals. I only did it for a few weeks, can't imagine a few months. I'd have gone batshit crazy."
Jess leaned up and accepted John's offered hand and shook it. "Yeah well, who says I didn't?" He chuckled. He'd surely had his moments of crazy, that's for sure.
Now, the hardest part.
Jess turned his attention once again to Lorcan. They stared at each other; those around them went quiet. It seemed as if everyone was waiting for something—an outburst, tears—and they silently waited for what would erupt. This is stupid. Shaking his head, Jess spread his arms. "You got a hug for an old friend?"
Lorcan hesitated.
Jess figured he probably had no right to be asking his former lover and friend. Hell, the way he'd treated Lorcan without even giving him a say in the matter, he surely deserved a punch to the jaw rather than a hug. He hated it, had his fair share of guilt he was coming to terms with, but had no regrets. Still, he couldn't help but hope that somehow the two of them could salvage some of their friendship. Jess didn't want to lose another friend.
Jess breathed a sigh of relief when Lorcan suddenly jumped up and threw himself into Jess's arms. They clung to each other, a sound suspiciously like a sob escaping Lorcan, which left Jess struggling to hold back his own tears.
Eventually Lorcan pulled back from the embrace, his eyes glistening with tears, and slapped Jess's arm. "Would you hurry up and get out of this chair so I can kick your ass?"
Jess met Lorcan's eyes. "I'm working on it, pretty boy. I'm working on it," he said sincerely.
The first step was taken. What would happen with their friendship beyond today was anybody's guess. Mending their relationship no longer seemed impossible. With one small hug, there was now a glimmer of hope.
The biggest hurdle behind him, the rest of the evening was spent slowly easing back into his community and catching up with friends. Over the course of the next few hours, Jess relaxed, finding comfort in those around him. Jess wasn't comfortable talking about his accident but knew people were curious. So when he wasn't talking about John's condition or homecoming, he was reliving his accident over and over and over. He was always aware of Lorcan, Quinn too, for that matter. There was no hostility or anger in the shared glances between himself and Quinn, but there was plenty of hesitancy. A couple of times during the night, Quinn seemed on the verge of saying something but never voiced his thoughts aloud. He and Quinn chatted about everyday events, prices of hay and cattle, but there was something unsaid beneath the common words. Jess agreed with Quinn's hesitancy; John's welcome home party was not the time or place to bring up what had happened between them. Now that he was home, Jess would have plenty of time to make amends for past wrongs. Thankfully, it wouldn't be tonight.
Jack was at the bar getting another bottle of water, Collin in the restroom. During a rare moment between entertaining curious townsfolk, Jess sipped his soda and sighed.
"You're nearly as popular as the guest of honor."
Jess turned his head and met the gaze of a stranger sitting at the table next to him. He wracked his brain trying to figure out where he'd seen the stocky, handsome man before but came up empty. He rolled his chair until he was facing the man. "It would appear so. I'm sorry," Jess confessed, offering a hand. "Do I know you?"
The stranger leaned over, accepted his hand, and shook it. "Nah, we haven't met, but I'm sure you've heard about me." The man looked a little uncomfortable when he said, "I'm Ty Callahan."
Ah! So this was the man who had helped Quinn let go of his anger after Lorcan left and returned to Indiana. And, from what Collin had relayed to Jess, the man who caused quite the shitstorm once Quinn and Lorcan got back together.
"I can see from the look on your face, you've heard of me."
"That obvious, huh?" Jess chuckled. "Pegasus is a small town and prides itself on its rumor mill."
"Yeah, well." Ty's cheeks turned a slight shade of pink, and he coughed into his hand. "I'm not real proud of my time in the spotlight."
Jess took another sip of his soda. He'd been the focus of the rumor mill himself—the first time when he came out. In fact, the talk had been downright hurtful at times, but he never let it change who he was. Sure, it hurt at the time, but he never allowed shame to overtake him. He was who he was and wouldn't change it even if he could. Eventually people moved on to the next bit of news. The music changed to a softer melody, and he lowered his voice. "None of us are," Jess admitted.
"I feel as if I owe you an apology," Ty said after a lull in the conversation.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"I used your accident, your suffering to try and hurt Lorcan." Ty swallowed hard and then chewed on the side of his lip before saying, "I'm real sorry about that."
"Hey, from what I hear, it all worked out, right?"
Ty nodded.
"No apologies needed," he told Ty and meant it.
Both Jess and Ty looked up at the man who had joined them without their realization. Ty smiled up at the man, then turned his attention back to Jess. "This is my partner, Blake Henderson."
Jess accepted the offered hand and shook it. "Nice to finally meet you, I'm Jess—"
"—Jenkins," Blake finished for him. He shook Jess's hand and gave him a warm smile. "I've heard a lot about you. Glad to finally meet you as well."
Blake took the seat next to Ty and wrapped an arm around him. The shared look between the two men was full of love. Jess had heard the stories of how Ty had felt betrayed by Quinn, his subsequent attempt to run Lorcan off, and how he finally found peace with old man Henderson's son, Blake. It did his heart good to see the two men look so happy after hearing about the hardships they had been through.
"I'm glad to see everything worked out."
"Thanks," both men responded, then smiled at each other.
Jack returned with his water, and after introductions were made, the four of them spent time talking about New York City and laughing at how Blake had inherited his daddy's ranch although he was not only clueless about ranching, but hated cattle. Blake's complaint that he had to replace his wardrobe due to the permanent stench of cow shit, which had infused the fabric, had tears rolling down Jess's face, he laughed so hard. The conversation was light and fun. None of them talked about the past and, to Jess's great relief, neither Blake nor Ty asked about his accident. Jess groaned to himself when Jake, one of the hands he'd worked with before moving to Indiana, motioned him over, knowing his short reprieve was done. Before Jess was once again whisked off by the next person eager to hear his tale of life at Tulsa Rehabilitation Center, he exchanged phone numbers with the men and hoped he'd get the chance to spend time with them again in the future.
By eleven, Jess was sick of talking about himself, and the muscle cramps in his legs, which plagued him on a daily basis, started to scream painfully enough they could no longer be ignored. Jess excused himself from Jake's teenage son Blay and wheeled his chair toward the bar where Jack and Collin sat watching him.
As he approached, Jack gave Jess a once-over, his brow furrowing into a frown. "How bad?"
"Seven," Jess responded, rubbing his hands along his thighs. The pain was probably closer to a nine on a scale of one to ten, but he always rated it lower, and Jack always accused him of being a stubborn, macho hick.
"Idiot! Let's go," Jack chastised and got to his feet.
"Don't call him that!" Collin challenged, also coming to his feet. "He was visiting his friends and family."
"Visiting or not, he's an idiot to let the pain get that bad before saying anything." Jack glared at Jess, but continued to speak to Collin. "You'd think the dumbass would know by now, the longer he waits, the longer it takes to get the pain back under control."
"How do you know the pain didn't just hit him?"
Jack grabbed the handgrips on Jess's chair and wheeled him around. "It doesn't work that way, numb nuts."
"There you go with the name calling again. It's no wonder Jess didn't tell you if you're just going to yell at him."
"Guys," Jess called out, trying to get their attention.
Jack pushed Jess toward the exit, not even asking Jess if he wanted to say goodnight to anyone, Collin right on their heels. "Right. I should baby him l

While top and bottom are separated by 25 points after four matches in the top two divisions of the Braintree Table Tennis League, division three has produced a much tighter pack.
The ten teams are covered by just 13 points after title favourites Rayne G suffered their first defeat of the season.
It was a skeleton Rayne G side that faced Black Notley G – only Tim Gowers from their normal line-up, plus two reserves – and they went away empty-handed.
Notley H joined them at the summit after a 6-4 win over Notley I.
Mike Smith and Leon Hewitt won twice for the I team but Helen Barnett led her team to victory.
Notley G are three points behind and then come Rayne H, who beat Notley I 8-2.
Tim Townsend and Brian Dixon were unbeaten.
Rayne I's sixth place, just behind Notley F, owes much to the presence of Paul Lombardi, who has contributed nine singles and two doubles wins to their 19 points. He was at it again last week in their 6-4 win at Felsted RBL C, where Nicholas Butler did well to take a game off him.
Division two also has joint leaders after Sible Hedingham took all ten points from their neighbours Hedingham Lions to close the gap on Notley B, who had to fight hard for a 6-4 win over their own D team.
The D team almost made it a draw, but Gordon Fairchild just got home at 11-9 in the fifth game against Keith Flowers. Victor Chan remained unbeaten for the B team while Sean Clift won twice for the D.
Liberal C are only a point behind after their 7-3 win over Rayne E, in which both Gareth Davies and Garry Fryatt were unbeaten. Paul Wellington came desperately close to denting Davies's record but was pipped at 8-11, 11-5, 6-11, 13-11, 13-11.
A solid team effort helped Rayne F in fourth place. Peter Taylor, Brian How and Ted Sims all won twice. While they all lost as expected to Ken Lewis, Taylor and How managed to get the better of Lewis and Lorraine Burgess in the doubles.
In an all-Notley clash, the C team overcame the E team 6-4 thanks to three wins by Matt Wallace, although he was pushed to the limit – 12-10 in the fifth game - by Tim Huxtable, making a welcome return to the league.

Coaching Essentials Hong Kong
Transformational Coaching Skills
Two-day coaching essentials workshop for people who want to create change in the world.
You know what urgency feels like, and you know how important relationships and communication are. That's because you are an entrepreneur with a cause, a Non-Profit, an educator of the next generation, a business with a purpose beyond profit, or an individual that wants to effect change in the world.
However, you probably face some frustration on your path to fulfill your mission and purpose to make the world a better place. This is where transformational coaching skills come in.
Through our work as coaches we see some common challenges
As someone who wants to make the world a better place you are probably compassionate and giving towards others, and not always towards yourself. We spend a lot of time looking outward, at what we want to change in the world, but we also need strong inner resources to develop resilience and longevity to keep doing the positive work we are called to do.
There are so many - almost too many - important causes, issues and details to focus on. People feel stretched. It's so easy to feel pulled and pushed in too many directions, leaving you feeling scattered. This often leaves you feeling like you don't have nearly enough resources or power to be effective.
Communicating under the pressure of feeling stretched and stressed is hard. It's easy to focus on what isn't working instead of harnessing what could work better. Communicating thoughtfully, listening deeply and feeling in control when you are too busy and stressed are not easy tasks. Somewhere along the line the enthusiasm and fun you had for your mission to make a difference got dampened.
Coaching skills can enhance the impact of your mission
Wouldn't it be great not to feel bogged down and overwhelmed by problems all the time? Coaching focuses on assets instead of on problems and seeks to empower people to look inwards to find their own creative solutions. When you feel empowered and creative about your work you develop resilience to deal with adversity.
Often we listen to others with a focus on problem solving. When we listen in a way that focuses on helping people to discover their own solutions, we move from problem solving to empowering conversations. This allows you to support people to tap into their own wisdom and trust themselves, which in turn, frees you to focus on what you need to focus on. Using coaching skills allows a shift from complaining and limiting beliefs to discovering abundant inner resources and move toward what CAN be done.
See, learn and practice coaching in this two-day workshop
Coaching is a set of skills, a mindset and a facilitative process that helps us be catalysts in a world that is often at odds. Whether at home or work, every interaction is an opportunity to shift our world, individually and collectively. Coaching helps us align our inner and outer worlds by knowing how to listen and what to listen for, by articulating our vision of the future and connecting our actions to our most cherished values.
Organizations recognize coaching as crucial to bringing out the best in the workplace. The benefits of coaching are now experienced in small businesses, schools, families, non-profits, social justice and community development agencies to improve communication, foster more collaborative relationships and empower deep change.
We have endless inner resources and coaching fosters new levels of reflection, awareness, communication, accountability and engagement. It helps individuals identify and build on their strengths and internal resources to make more conscious decisions and take new action.
What make this program unique?
Our coach training is focused on bringing coaching, already well utilized in the for-profit and corporate world, to non-profit, education, social justice and community conscious organizations.
We are culturally conscious. We know that in order to reach people we need to acknowledge diversity, and embrace cultural differences. This builds a strong global community where differences are honored while connecting to our collective desire to see change.
We build a safe, trusting, non-judgmental learning environment, just like the world we want to live in. And because of this you get to experience the power of coaching by jumping in and trying it for yourself right away.
We look beyond "belief systems" and focus on intimately connecting at the mind, body and soul level. People who have trained at our program quickly develop deep relationships with meaning and purpose, shared goals and clear outcomes.
What are the benefits to doing this workshop?
Bring the fun, joy, innocence and inspiration back to your work. You are here to make the world a better place, and it's easy to get overwhelmed and focused on what is not working.
A coach approach brings clarity. Building conscious relationship takes away the need to guess what a good outcome will look like, or what someone's expectations and needs are.
You can expect to walk away with skills that you can start using right away to deepen your ability to support colleagues, stakeholders, friends, family and yourself.
In addition we often hear the following outcome based feedback:
Renewed energy and clarity
Enhanced effectiveness, longevity, and balance
Stronger networks and communities
Having more fun motivating and engaging team members and stakeholders
Deeper and more meaningful connection with your self and others
Experiencing a common language for change
The Structure of the workshop
This is a two-day group workshop. In these two days you will:
Discover, taste and play with 24 varied coaching skills from the curriculum of our coach certification program CFT – Coaching For Transformation
Deepen your understanding and feel the impact of transformational listening
