Storm God Mapiya 2 (special preview)

“I’m sorry, would you like to sleep in here then?” Mapiya asks.

The bed rises out from the floor, fluffing up and pillows fell down from the ceiling. Mapiya motions to the bed. “I’ll come and cuddle you once I’m done here.”

I just give him and look and shake my head. “No, Mapiya,” I say. “I just want my room to not flood. It nearly drowned Gucci last time.”

“The water likes to be near you,” Mapiya says with a smile. “Take it as a compliment and a ...

Gnoll Boyfriend Thanyx (complete)

    I pound my hands down on the desk. “What do you mean again?”

    My twin cousins flinch and take a step back away from me. They look at one another, both trying to decide which one should be the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter.

    I huff, easing back into my chair and I fold my hands on my desk. I huff, irritated beyond hell. This is the third time our supply caravan has been raided. Someo...

Storm God Mapiya (special preview)

The cave opens up again, leading out into a great big pool. The pool is surrounded by columns. The ceiling is and open mouth where water rushes down from all sides. The bowls sing and chime, clinking to the steps behind the water.

“Die! Die! Die!” Gordon continues to sing.

“You’re going to!” I snap at him.

Then, I hear the most terrifying sound in the world. I heard someone laughing. I hold my breath and look around. Behind the waterfall someone steps out and into ...

Odd's Quest (complete)

    Returning home from Grattertock was the most gut-wrenching experience of my life. I was relieved to get home and see my wife and my kids, my family. Yet at the same time, I knew I was about to deliver grief and sorrow to them. I had never really understood the saying ‘don’t blame the messenger’ until I stood at the doorway of my sister-in-law. 

    Hesitating to knock I stood there wondering how I was going to tell her an...

Mail Outs

This month my $10 patrons will be getting their mail outs! I’m waiting on Stamps to get in and they’ll go out ASAP!

Orc Boyfriend Gorlak (special preview)

“Bad weather is coming,” he growls as he swirls his bowl. “In a few days, it’ll probably be too cold. We’ll have to combine our tents in order to not freeze in our sleep.”

I jerk at the thought. “No!” I snap.

Gorlak cuts a dirty look at me. “You want to survive, don’t you?”

I frown.

“If I wanted you, I could have you,” he snarls. “Nothing is stopping me except I know it’s wrong. I’ll only take you if I hear that sweet yes from your lips....

The Life of Jacque Bonus (complete)

    I’ll admit, the prospects of all this were a bit odd. I’ve never been the most masculine guy in the room, but I’ve never been the most feminine either. As I look at myself now, I understand the possibilities that I can take with just my body.

    I had agreed to Tupac’s little deal, excited to be helping him out. I was a bit surprised when he came to me, asking me for help. I know I may have been his last resort, but it was ...

Alien Lover: Fendral 2 (special preview)

“I never should have trusted you!” Fendral snarls. “You stupid, bipedal, piece of shit!” They slop back down to the ground and start heaving.

I sit back up, reaching out towards them. “Babe,” I whisper. 

Fendral starts to snivel and tears start to flow down their cheeks. They turn their head away so I won’t see.

“I didn’t know my crew was coming. I promise you that,” I whisper. I pet down their back and release their wrists with the keys I stole from...

The Life of Jacque Part Five (complete)

        I have a little bit of a problem, one that I didn’t expect happening for quite some time. The issue is that my daughter, who is only eight, is far too smart for me. I came home one day to see that Bridget, in her somehow infinite wisdom, had found my gun case. Luckily, she hadn’t opened it yet, but when she saw my panic, it locked into her brain that the only thing she wanted in life was to get that gun case. 

Gnoll Boyfriend Thanyx (special preview)

I dread the journey, mainly because I have thrown up everything inside me and it’s getting even harder to keep water down. Edragon and his men make me uneasy too. I’m not sure what it is, but there is something that sets my teeth on edge when I’m around Edragon. I have dealt with men like him before, but there is something else about him. It feels almost sinister. 

Once we set on the path through the Gravelmeuse mountains that’s when Edragon and his men are put on high aler...

The Life of Jacque Part Four (complete)

    I’m so excited I could burst. Sitting on this train and watching the scenery pass by, I’m starting to recognize things. I know I’m getting closer to home, I’m getting closer to my girls. I’ve gotten some time off school, and I’m surprising Bridget for her birthday. Most of my luggage are gifts for her, I may have gone a bit overboard. All I know is I want to make up for time lost. It’s her third birthday, and she’s starting to realize things.

Odd's Quest (special preview)

Come morning, I wake up hearing someone in my home. I pull away from Allie, making sure not to wake her. I slip out of bed and move silently down the hallway to the kitchen. There, my mother is standing over the stove.

“Mom?” I gasp.

She turns and looks at me. “I let myself in with the key, I hope you don’t mind.” She looks back at the stove.

“You should be with Penelope,” I say.

“Ainsel and Cora are with them,” she replies. “I need to talk to you.�...

The Life of Jacque Part Three (complete)

    “Jacque where are you?” Mirian snaps from somewhere inside the house. “Jacque!” I hear Bridget fussing. She’s cutting teeth and has been as stubborn and impossible as much as a baby can be.

    I sigh, blowing out a thick cloud of smoke before snubbing out my cigarette. I walk into the house again and see Mirian bouncing Bridget with one arm while the other is hauling the laundry basket. How the hell she manages to do that...

The Life of Jacque Bonus (special preview)

“Don’t get fucking hot,” Tupac snarls as he grabs me. “I can’t afford it.” He pulls me in for a long, hard kiss. “I’ll cut it off.”

I put my arms around his neck. “Keep dirty talking like that and you’re going to have to.”

Tupac sneers. “You better be glad you’re hot or I would scrap all this.” He takes my hand, leading me out to the car he’s rented.

The plan is a simple one, basic really. This really fancy dinner party is being thrown at the ...

The Life of Jacque Part Two (complete)

    Once upon a time, there was a princess and a piece of shit. No? Not any good? Ok well, last time I was here, I was telling you about Mirian. Then again, I probably leave off a lot of conversations on Mirian, she’s just amazing. After that first night together we agree to see each other more. It goes pretty hot and heavy at first. I also try to taper off heroin a bit, keyword there is a bit, just for her. 

    Usually, we have...

The Life of Jacque Part Five (special preview)

“Jacque! What the hell are you doing?” She scoffs at me. 

I drag her to a tent that’s not in use and I kiss her, hard. She moans softly and her lashes flutter. It’s been a long time for both of us. “Jacque, stop, we can’t-” I kiss her again and she grabs my face. “Jacque no-” I kiss her again and she presses her body to me. I hike up her skirts and sit her down on the card table. 

I reach under her skirts, my fire only stoked higher when I find she’s ...

The Life of Jacque Part One (complete)

    Ok so, where to begin? Do I start in school where I learned to lock pick and raid the chemistry labs? Don’t act like you’ve never done anything bad in your life. It was school. Everyone does stupid shit when they’re in school. I just happened to sell hazardous chemicals for drug money. Yeah, you’re right, I probably shouldn’t start there. It doesn’t get much better after that so...your call.

    My parents always saw me ...

The Life of Jacque Part Four (special preview)

“I saw your mom this morning,” I tell her as I plate her crepe.

She hisses and makes a pained expression. “Sorry! Oh shit, what did she say this time?” She takes the plate from me. 

I huff and shake my head. “She basically told me to fuck off and never come back.” I then shrug. “At least she didn’t tell me to kill myself this time. At least, not directly.”

“I’m so sorry,” she touches my cheek, rubbing her fingers on my stubble. “I’ll have a w...

The Sky Pirates Part Two (complete)

    I walk back into my quarters from meeting with Iris and find Megaera looking through my collection of Cyrus’ carvings.

    “What are you doing?” I ask. “Do you just snoop through everyone’s personal belongings like that?” I stride up t her, taking the box and closing it.

    Megaera chuckles. “Nothing is secret between us, now that we’ll be married, what’s yours is mine.” She ...

The Life of Jacque Part Three (special preview)

“I don’t have to be at work until later,” she purrs suggestivly. “It’s been a long time. I miss you in bed with me.”

I moan softly, feeling her hands pet me. I turn around and look at her, gazing into her face. Sje’s still so youthful and bright, but I can see the age in her eyes. I feel guilt rise up, I feel like I stole her youth from her.

“I’ll give you something nice,” she whispers into my ear.

“No,” I murmur. “I’m going to give it to you,” ...

The Sky Pirates Part One (complete)

    All my life I had been told that nothing good came from touching the earth. All my life, I have maybe set my feet on solid ground four or five times. Every time I do, something strange happens. Not bad, but something that has yet to reveal itself yet.

    I come from a family of Furies, my mothers are powerful warlords who rule over the sky in their unique ships called Brigadoons. The ship my mothers' captained was tilted the Allect...

The Life of Jacque Part Two (special preview)

“I was thinking the same thing,” I tug down her dress, kissing her breasts as she slowly starts to bounce on me. All I want is her. There is nothing else in this world that matters anymore except for the woman I’m with. We stay by the river all night, sometimes in the truck, sometimes out of it. All the while I can’t believe the remarkable creature willing to stay with me

Come morning, our bliss is interrupted by a shock. Turns out, one of the condoms broke. The color drains fro...

Incubus Boyfriend Vallois (complete)

    Art block, much like any block, fucking sucks. I’ve been staring at a blank screen, empty pages, belligerent white canvases and the only real thing I’ve felt is that unsettling guilt and anguish that comes with not being able to do anything.

    I’m watching the steam rise off my tea as my cheek mashes down on the countertop. I have no idea how to beat this block. I’ve had several of my friends and teachers come to me, telli...

The Life of Jacque Part One (special preview)

I consider not messaging him. While I finish my shift I decide just to ignore it, even though my ass was sore as hell. I tell myself I don’t need whatever drama he’s going to drag me in to. I don’t need anything at all except for what I’ve got now. Which was a big fucking lie, let me just say that. I needed a lot, I wanted more. I craved something more than just fucking existing between paychecks. I needed to push boundaries and piss things off. So when I got off work I called him. 2019-01-28 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Odd Family Reunion (complete)

    When I was young, family was everything. I was the eldest son, and I felt it was my responsibility to look after everyone. None of us knew who our father was, or more likely fathers. My mother was a temple priestess and consorted with dark deities in order to give predictions and wisdom. From these sessions she gave birth to me, my brothers Odd and Emil, and our baby sister Ainsel. 

It never occurred to me what a strange lot we were until my siste...

“What did you do?” I snap at him.

“She started it,” Cyrus scoffs then kisses me. “Now hurry, we need to go.” He grabs my hands and takes me over to the windows.

“I can’t just leave!” I snap at him. “What about the ship and the crew?”

Cyrus sets me up on the ledge. “Then Iris will become captain,” he says. “This will be her ship and her crew and-” he grins brightly as he laughs. “Your family and your blushing bride will be hers to command. Now ...

Forest Spirit Boyfriend E'zei (complete)

    “Here’s your order, ma’am.”

    I take the bag from off the counter, a little miffed at being called ma’am, but it really doesn’t matter. I just want to get home, get into my pajamas, and plant myself at the TV for the entirety of the weekend. 

    As I walk outside and I am struck with the vivid recollection of how this town used to look back when I was little. Even then it was ...

The Sky Pirates Part One (special preview)

Cyrus looked at me and my mother Semnai put her hands on my shoulders as comfort and to hold me back. Cyrus sighed, a cold resolve coming over his face.

“Very well, Captain,” he said with a bow. “It was an honor to serve under you all these years. I am grateful for everything.” He and the others turned and walked away.

I was heartbroken and longing for my friend. In the weeks that followed I had no interest in my birthday party nor for the fact I was to be named captain. M...
