I sat at the table across from Anton and watched him. There was no malice in his even stare. Just acceptance of his fate. Of knowing exactly his place in the universe. “Anton,” I said, “perhaps someday I will find a way you can repay me. Though I cannot think of anything I have done that needs to be repaid.” “You are too humble, my Lord,” Anton said with a bow. “Raising me to the rank of Knight is a great honor. One I nev...

I awoke to the rich, savory smells of bacon and sausage, their sizzling drifting up from downstairs. The bed cocooned us in warmth, the sheets soft against bare skin. I lay on my side with Sydney cuddled in my arms, her back pressed against my chest, fitting perfectly into the shape of my body. Her heart beat a slow, unwavering rhythm underneath my open palm. The musky fragrance of sex lingered on her skin, combining with...

Thom shifted, feeling his back as it started to ache from the hard floor they were lying on. His voice soft, tender, and loving. “I’m sorry. I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to pull out, but we need to move upstairs. You need to get out of these wet clothes. Please. Stand. Take them off. I want to see your body from head to toe, naked, for me.” Maria lifted her head slowly, her eyes heavy with exhaustion and devotion...

Thom stared at her like a madman stares at the sun, blinded by the light. He shook his head and closed his eyes. The heat of her body was so close to his. It was more than he could bear. How, how did he let her go? His fingers twitched. A tear slipped down his cheek. Then it was a flurry of movement, like a man possessed. His arms swept around her, pulling her body against his and crushing her to him. His lips bruised her...

Thom lay in bed, the sheets pulled up to his waist, his phone on the nightstand beside him. He lay back against the pillows, half-propped up, trying to clear his head and trying to find rest. His phone buzzed. He glanced over at it. Another video call from his ex, Maria. He stared at it. Thom swallowed, trying to decide whether to answer the call. He picked up the phone and flicked it open, answering the call. The screen...

Akasha grinned evilly. She spread her legs wide and patted her thighs. “Slide your knees under my thighs. Yes. Right there. Now take your right hand and guide the head of your cock through my folds. Run it against my clitoris. Oh, yes. Right there. Now, guide it into the opening. Not in yet. Just past. Around. Yes. Oh. That is nice. Now, slide the head into the opening. Wait. Don’t push in yet. Wait right there.” Akasha s...

Anita slid across the floor into the large pool of blood forming around. She gently lifted his head into her lap. His eyes gazed up at her with adoration. Tears streamed down her face as she heard his voice in her head. “I love you...” Then his voice was gone. His eyes lost their focus. Anita heard a high-pitched keening sound and realized it was her voice. A hand slapped her across the face. She blinked and looked up. De...

First period was a blur. Ragden felt sharp and alert. His body felt refreshed and energetic. His skin pulsed with energy, bordering on nervous ticks. He just felt good. As if everything was right in the world, he took his notes and participated in the class discussion. The teacher seemed pleased with his responses. When the bell rang, Ragden gathered his stuff and headed for his next class. He moved through the halls, lig...

Wednesday Ragden felt warm and comfortable, surrounded by the women he loved so much. His eyes fluttered open, and he noticed the sun starting to peek through the window to his right. Sarah was still lying on top of him, her head resting on his chest. He could feel her slow, steady breath against his body. Looking to his right, he saw Emily, her cheek resting against his right shoulder. She looked so beautiful and peacefu...

I turned to Akasha. Her grin grew even wider, hungry and intense, making my pulse race. As I met her eyes, a strange sensation rippled through me—a fleeting warmth seeping into my bones, like embers of a lingering fire. There was an inexplicable weight to the moment, as though the shadows of ancient dragons were stirring just beneath the surface. I shivered under her gaze, feeling like prey. I nodded, my voice coming out...

Selina awoke with a start. An alarm was blaring across the room. She reached over and flipped the tiny knob on her nightstand lamp. The light clicked, casting its dim glow across her bed. Selina jumped up and ran across the room to turn off the alarm. The red numbers seemed to glare at her with malevolent glee. She frowned at it and walked back towards her bed. Even with the curtains drawn on the window over her bed, Seli...

I leaned back into the couch, feeling the soft fabric envelop me. Sydney sat beside me, her head gently resting on my shoulder. Two cups of hot chocolate sat untouched on the coffee table, sending tendrils of steam into the tense air, drifting lazily as if reluctant to dissolve. A few feet away, Akasha watched from the loveseat. She held her coffee, took a sip, set it down, and leaned forward, her eyes fixed on Sydney. “Y...

We walked to the door. I turned the knob and opened it. “You don’t lock the door at night?” Sydney asked in surprise. I shook my head. “Nope. Nobody wants to walk through that yard in the dark.” “No. I suppose not,” she said softly. The house was an old two-story wood cabin. It had been well-maintained over the years. From the outside, it looked like something from an old Western movie. The inside had been modernized, tho...

I stood at the top, looking out over the cliff, my palm pressed firmly against the cold, reassuring granite that anchored me to this moment. Stars twinkled overhead, and a light breeze blew my hair back. The view, even under starlight, was astonishing. My excellent night vision, a family trait, made the forest below seem especially vivid. The seventeen-mile hike had been worth it. I spent most of the day climbing the Yose...

Ragden laughed. He slid his cock home against Aria’s cervix and leaned down over her. Aria’s eyes fluttered as she felt the pressure inside her increase. Ragden kissed her softly on the lips. Then he turned to Emily and kissed her. “Fine, my loves, not that I mind either way. Just thought I would ask.” Emily and Aria giggled. Aria put a hand on Ragden’s chest and gently pushed. Ragden leaned against her and kissed her on...
