Canberra - October 2003
If Camilla hadn't been desperate for news of Jeremy, she may have thought twice about letting a stranger into the apartment. However, it seemed like such a godsend that she might finally learn of his whereabouts that she thought she had to do it.
She buzzed the woman in and waited until she climbed to two floors. There was a knock at the door, and Camilla checked the spyhole before opening. Before her was a woman of medium height, with long black hair and a pale complexion. She...

Chapter 22 -- Something in the Water
Saturday January 7
Everyone was headed home today. While Brook packed, I went downstairs and made cinnamon rolls, a giant frittata using a lot of the leftovers, hash browns, and bacon.
Lexi was the first one down because she didn't have to pack. She made a pot of coffee and opened a bottle of fresh orange juice....

Author's note:
Jenny's story progresses slow but steadily and leads to a first small showdown while setting the stage for future events. This chapter contains suggestive erotic themes but minimal nudity or lewdity.
All comments, critics and thoughts on the story are again very welcome. I wish you a good read....

Mid-September
Year 5 of Us
Tuesday
"I've found them!" Lacey said as we were finishing lunch.
"Found who?" I was the first to ask the question, but everybody else joined in.
She was looking at her phone, smiling. "Our new dogs!"...

Wantrao's troops went in with a will. They literally ran towards the gate and the front wall, carrying their ladders. Wantrao was at the very front. The enemy archers began to fire, and the first soldiers fell. I have no idea why I did it, but I counted the troopers as they went down. It was horrible. I had to skip from thirteen to sixteen as three fell at virtually the same moment. Mercifully, I was able to shut off the voice in my head after twenty-two....

Author's note:
Jenny's story progresses slowly but steady. So still not much nudity or lewdity here, but mostly setup for the events to come.
All comments, critics and thoughts on the story are again very welcome. I wish you a good read.

Beep-Beep... Beep-beep. Jenny opens her eyes and lies still for a second, then she hastily starts to run her hand over her chest. As her fingers brush against the soft fabric of her nightwear, a sigh of relief escapes her and she sinks back int...

As Keen tried to introduce himself, and was seemingly unaware of how hot he was, Alex struggled to form words. Keen had to repeat himself "Do you need help?", to which Alex responded "Yes???"
He knew the moment he'd answered, how weird it sounded. Of course he needed help. Why did he send off the beacon if he didn't need help? And why had he just answered with a question? His brain seemed to be like slogging through molasses, even the kind made with all chemicals since the maple trees all died. He gather...

Keen had scraped together every last credit to buy De Hiep--a battered, thirty-year-old, decommissioned Navy mining ship. Officially, she was rated for a crew of five, with bunks for ten. In actuality, she was a one-man operation, because that was all Keen could afford: one bucket of bolts and the AI that came with it, and the hope that he'd find something that would make his life worth living again. Hopefully in the form of a major mineral find, like gold, or platinum, or even osmium....

Chapter 11

Malachite Palace, Lysannum
Rodger moved Xenia into Jade's -- now his -- room, saying that he wanted to keep both of his slaves close. The bed was big enough for all three of them, provided that Rodger permitted his slaves to sleep there.
With Xenia moved out of her former dungeon room, Rodger took the opportunity to refit it as a bondage dungeon, bringing in a variety of furniture and equipment. Xenia was highly apprehensive upon being told that she would also be participating in sce...

*Author's Note- As this story has progressed in writing, there are inconsistencies between what was laid out in Chapter One, which was written three years ago, and what is being written moving forward. The reason for the inconsistencies is that I did not take into consideration the tension that might happen if both Andrew and William were not on the same page with each other about their mutual relationship with Sonia. Thus, in this chapter and the next one, I have attempted to smooth over what would have be...

Canberra - March 2003
The aroma of brewing coffee woke Camilla the next morning. As she blinked herself into consciousness, she knew a new day had dawned and she felt as relaxed as she had in some time.
Rolling over, she could see that Jeremy had already risen, so she stretched her arms behind her head and reached her toes as far as they could manage. Breathing out, she collapsed in upon herself, hugging the soft doona to her skin and embracing its warmth. Closing her eyes, she breathed in through her...

At this relatively early evening hour--early for a college dormitory, at least--an excited pair of feet scampered along a carpeted corridor on the fourth floor of Howard Hall, until they reached the closed door of a dorm room. A tan hand reached out and turned the handle, and a curvaceous Latina beauty slid herself through the opening and shut the door behind her....

Alex knew he was in trouble. His ship, the elf-princess, really wasn't made for this kind of emergency. Nor, really was he, if he was being honest to himself. Sure - the ship had provisions for many more months, but he was only meant to be here surveying the moons of Saturn for two weeks, not months. He needed most of those provisions for the return trip. And this failure, if he couldn't fix it himself, would leave him stranded far outside the reach of most of the shipping lanes....

"If she's not home yet, I'm getting back in the car to cool off. Gawd, it's steamy out here," Prof. Pettit complained, climbing the steps to the oversized porch.
"It sounded like she was almost home when I called," Phinn relayed, stopping to stand before the heavy-looking oak front door. He reached out to push the buzzer before taking a step back....

The Last Incubus: Chapter 20

Note to readers: this chapter contains some light bondage--sort of.

Foxy - Wild West's Bounty Hunter
Episode 1 - Sands of Sin
Author: boniau
The desert sprawled endless and merciless under a sky ablaze with the sun's dying fury, a crimson smear bleeding into the horizon over Crimson Sands. The air shimmered with heat, thick with the tang of dust and sagebrush, as a faint wind stirred the parched earth, whispering secrets of forgotten outlaws and buried bones. In the distance, the silhouette of The Rusty Spur saloon loomed--a squat, weathered husk of warped wood and...

Chapter Eleven

Jacob arrived at the community college forty minutes early, too restless to remain in his apartment until the appointed time. The campus was alive with mid-afternoon activity--students hurrying between classes, lounging on the quad, studying at outdoor tables. He felt out of place among them, too old to be a student, too young to be a professor, his scarred face drawing the usual quick glances before eyes slid away....

Every picture tells a story: Part 4

Note to readers: Read Parts 1, 2 & 3 first; you will enjoy this so much more if you do.
Pete has a recurring nightmare that Bill and Mary cuck him. In it, Bill invites his friends over to bang Mary as Pete is forced to watch. Pete realized how close he came to losing everything. This chapter is far darker than the others. Love it or hate it, please leave a comment....

(Part 2 of 6)
Leo kept trying to get the curl to lay just right on his forehead. He knew he was having a case of the nerves but he couldn't stop himself. But time was up so he gave up and straightened his tie.
"How do I look?" He asked without turning away from his reflection.
"You can see yourself, right?" Tanya asked with a note of mockery....

Chapter 86
"Left here," Falen said as they split away from the main column of people marching the last kilometer or so to the palace. "The main roads are going to be the most crowded, but I've picked a spot that should see us clear of the main press of bodies."
"Will we run into patrols?" Allora asked....

Author's Note: This story supports my previous longer work, The Patagonian Affair. While this story can be read as a one off, it is part of a larger series. Enjoy.
Canberra - March 2003
It was close to midnight when Camilla's car drove into the visitor's spot in Jeremy's apartment's parking garage. He said that he would stay awake until she arrived, even though she'd told him not to wait. But even if he had already fallen asleep, she would still come and spend the night....

A Minor Lunar Standstill
As war rages on the moon, everyone just wants to get off.
TW: Mild suicidal ideation, references to past unhealthy relationships, threats of violence, explosions, burn wounds, references to long hospitalizations, war, mildly dubious consent, sex work, mildly degrading language toward sex workers, homelessness, joblessness, drug side effects, body image issues, passing out...

I couldn't believe it. Truly, this should not be happening.
But here I was, balls deep in something I shouldn't be.
What am I balls deep in, you may wonder.
The tightest pussy I've ever fucked frankly, and I've had a lot of pussy over the course of my thirty-three years living on this mortal plane....

Welcome back gentle reader
If you have kept up with my bio updates, you will have seen that the economic turmoil and the tariff war cost me my job. It's actually taken up more of my time job hunting than what work did, which is really weird. I should get paid more to search for work. This is going to affect my writing, but it is too early to say how much. But enough about my issues....

WARLORD Chapter 1
This is a non-erotic isekai adventure (stranger in a strange world). Thanks to my editors, Alianath Iriad and Lastman416, for their advice and corrections. Any remaining errors are mine.
I was tired. Once again, I'd got caught up in my latest 'Defence of the Realm' campaign, and completely lost track of time. It was almost 2:45 AM. In my own defence, the game was absolutely addictive. It had a complex military-economic-technology system, which was deceptively easy to learn, but quite...

Love My Way

She didn't know why I wanted her to wear the big white dress shirt, but she put it on anyway. She asked why I wanted her to wear it and honestly aside from the actual reason, I couldn't think of another reason. I told her i couldn't tell her and asked her to please do it. She smiled and did as I asked....

Chapter 7
One
Kendall, Maxwell, and a criminal attorney sat in the court room waiting for the arraignment. The entire process took fifteen minutes and two photographers were there taking pictures of the defendant standing in front of a judge. Those would be sold to various media outlets that would run them as part of the ongoing coverage of Jacob Mitchell's fall from grace....

Chapter 83
"With everything going on, I didn't get a chance to ask you what you thought about the deal I made with Falen."
Allora looked up from the fruit she was eating for breakfast. Beside the small platter of berries and the local equivalent of grapes, called bashos, there was also a small bowl of a porridge made from a grain similar to barley. Mitchell had become fond of it right away. The one this morning had been prepared with athi and some root vegetables....

Keeping her Vow
Aran woke with a sudden start, his senses coming from an almost comforting, muted dullness into screaming reality. He was bound tightly with rawhide strips, his arms pulled behind him and tied at the wrists to the far side of a stout tree. He flexed his shoulders and biceps, powerfully built as he was he could not break his bonds. He figured it to be just before dawn, the fire had burnt down to smoldering gray ash with the vaguest stirring of faint orange within when the wind blew, easily...

The Fall of Lordsgate Convent

By Val Mcbane

Chapter One: A Desperate Arrival
Mella's cloak hung heavy on her shoulders. She'd walked for days and her whole body ached. She hadn't known hunger like this since she was a child. Yet despite the chill in the fog that covered the road, a warmth radiated through her core, a reminder of what drove her to take to the road....
