I first glimpsed Aspenwald in the early spring when everything still seemed dead. A month earlier, I had buried my father and, with him, all of my joy. Every plan I had for the future was dashed and every hope ground to powder. The black tracings of bone-bare trees along the drive to the main house and the gray, unpromising stone of the mansion suited my mood. Uncle Henry wasn't a blood relative, so I was fortunate he all...

Castle Thell was an imposing sight in the dimming light of dusk. It was an impenetrable fortress. The four spires of the castle were the only part of the structure that was illuminated by the setting sun’s rays, liken to spears on fire. A stark comparison to the near black walls in the absence of the sun's light. The spires were a silent and fiery warning, to any who might happen across it. Or as the citizens of the nearb...

Jewel Morgan was the kind of woman that had that special something about her. She was well dressed and her outfits were always very well coordinated. She was very friendly and everybody she met wanted to be around her. She had no trouble meeting people ever. People just flocked in her direction. She could be buying coffee at the corner deli or getting her car washed and she'd meet people wherever she went. She was just th...

I really needed to go shopping, there was no way I could keep putting it off. I definitely needed some new clothes for the summer but the fact is - and I know it surprises many people - I really hate shopping. However, as it was a beautiful morning, I took the plunge and decided I might as well get it done early and then enjoy the rest of my day.     So, I jumped in the shower and completed my routine of shaving my legs,...

The usually annoying sound of her alarm clock was soothing and welcomed that morning. She woke from her slumber and felt the warmth of Eric’s body next to her. It was the first time they had spent the night together. They had recently started dating and were a perfect fit. They were both certain that they had found their soulmates in each other but, had never dared to tell one another. Her heart fluttered every time she t...

They say, ‘patience is a virtue’. Maybe so, but I was born with little patience. Time is something one can never get back and I hate wasting mine. That is why I smile when I see them. I squeeze my thighs together, trying to tame myself. I'm in such a rush to get what I want. I do like a good chase occasionally, but not this eve.  ‘My, my… Yes, they are pretty, aren’t they?’ I think to myself. The delicious looking couple...

Midnight, Halloween, 2015. I clipped the studded, leather lead to my whore's collar and walked her out my apartment door. She was dressed in a bed sheet, not a stitch of clothing underneath. Three holes were cut out of the sheet. Two for holes for her eyes, and a larger hole for her mouth. She wanted to go 'sex' trick or treating as a naughty ghost. I obliged her. Halloween is her favorite day of the year. It’s also her b...

The farmland that had fed two generations before me was barren. We were in the middle of The Dust Bowl, or, The Dirty Thirties, that’s what they had named the dust storms and drought that blew away the top soil of the land and made it impossible to grow crops. As if that wasn’t enough, the global economy had collapsed. 'The Great Depression' as President Hoover referred to it. The hard and desperate times that began on th...

If you've come here searching for a story that starts out with 'Once upon a time,' than you're looking in the wrong place. This is no fairy tale, I can promise you that. There will be no prince charming to kiss his princess awake. There will be no prince to climb up the tower to rescue his girl from the evil witch. There will be no handsome stud who will fight the mad sea queen for his one true love. No, none of that. Thi...

"I hate the bitch!" Jackie snarled under her breath. The bitch was Cherylanne. I meet with her a few times a month. We have a Master/sex slave relationship. Jackie and I meet more frequently; our relationship is a Dom/sub agreement. Jackie has a key to my apartment and spends most weekends with me. I am divorced and have no interest in a committed relationship with only one woman. They both are aware of, and accept, that...
