The Seven Brides of Kane 01

Author’s Note: The eighth “first chapter” project. This is the last one before we start the polls to determine what people like best and what my next project, alongside Luther’s Pride and Harem House, should be. This idea is a space western, following Ezekiel Kane, a protagonist of questionable morals, traveling with precious cargo through an immoral void. The first chapter should give you an idea of the kind of Western I’m going for, establish the setting and its various conflicts,...

Harem House Chapter 42 Part 4

Katelyn cracked the bathroom door open and “psst” for help. Kat rose before Kelly could remove the laptop from her lap, and she blocked the doorway with her body as she helped Katelyn put the final touches on her costume. It wasn’t terribly elaborate, and she couldn’t put the finishing touches on her makeup until they left the bus, but she was more or less together by the time she exited the bathroom. 

Kat returned to her seat, and Katelyn stood near the pole, holding onto ...

When Kat Met Arthur

Silence filled the dorm room, which was just as Kat preferred it. Her bed filled the corner opposite her roommate’s, across the window. The closets on the near wall were shallow, but wide. The wooden dressers and desks at the foot of each bed felt narrow in comparison, but they fulfilled their functions well enough. 

Kat sat on her bed with her back to the wall, her legs tucked to the side, and her arm resting on her pillows as she read a well-worn copy of The Chosen Road, the ne...

Harem House Chapter 42 Part 3

The stops and starts the bus made as it exited the parking lot were fewer and smoother than Selene expected. The hum of the engine became dull background noise in the quiet pre-dawn streets. The lights inside the bus were bright enough to see by, but not overwhelming or headache-inducing—a delicate balance to strike. 

Everything had gone well so far this morning. Despite her lack of collar, Master had returned to his role, and she to hers. The space felt different without the tou...

Luther's Pride Part 42

The library bore the scents of lacquered wood, ancient paper, and the sweet aroma of brandy poured into two glasses, resting on a low table between two great armchairs at the end of the cathedral-like hall. The soft glow of crystallized light suffused Luther’s chair, while Criella’s lingered in shadow. She ran her fingers along the spine of the book in her lap, an old favorite that Luther recognized as one he hadn’t read in years. 

Outside, darkness blanketed the world in sta...

Harem House Chapter 42 Part 2

Slipping into the Tarzan loincloth was easier than the shoes he’d chosen. The plain brown material of the loincloth was a triangle of fabric in the front and back, attached to briefs, which fastened with a belt. 

The strappy Roman sandals from his centurion costume were simple flats with leather strips that wound around his calves. He tied them, fastening them just below his knees. Moving to tie the second loosened the first enough that he had to retie it, then re-fasten the seco...

Luther's Pride Part 41

A collective gasp arose from the surrounding witnesses as Raoul’s ass hit the ground. A small puff of dusty dirt clouded around him. 

Luther didn’t restrain his punch, but leveled the blow of a professional brawler with every ounce of strength his body had without the aid of magic. The flex of his leg, the rotation of his hip, the surge of his shoulder, and the extension of his arm culminated in the crack of Raoul’s smiling teeth against Luther’s braced knuckles. 

Harem House Chapter 42 Part 1

Saturday morning arrived with the soft buzz of Selene’s phone alarm in the darkness. Her screen lit the room like a beacon from Arthur’s nightstand behind her. She rubbed Arthur’s chest to wake him, untangling her limbs from Kat's beneath the blankets. Kat hugged him from the other side, their arms hugging his torso until Selene slipped hers away. Arthur was on his back with his arms around them, the cradle of his shoulder a firm but comforting pillow. 

After the movie last n...

Luther's Pride Part 40

Criella proved to be a strict taskmaster when it came to training. Luther spent hours drilling his arcana, not to activate any spells of his wives, but to cast his own, embracing their souls in a random selection. Criella determined which wife he was to attempt to bond with by rolling a die. With each wife designated as a number, on the four-sided cylinder. 

They started with Luther meditating in the garden as he cast his spell. Criella timed him with her pocket watch, smacking th...

The Chosen Artist

Author’s Note: So, continuing my attempt at various first chapters, to see what people enjoy more, this is my attempt at something inspired by Eastern fantasy/mythology. As you’re reading, you’ll no doubt immediately spot where various inspirations come from; it’s a mishmash of anime inspirations, Avatar the Last Airbender, 80s movies, and more. I’m not trying to be groundbreakingly original with it, but I always enjoy trying to arrange narrative expectations and elements in interes...

Harem House Chapter 41 Part 4

“What the fuck is going on here?” George asked, looking around and then immediately looking away. He used his right hand to block his view of everything but a patch of empty carpet. “The gate and garage door were open, we thought maybe your guys’ night had turned into a full party or something with the number of cars, but this… Thank god your mothers aren’t here.” 

“Arty said I–” Lynn struggled to get the sentence out, her accusatory tone fading as her memories...

Luther's Pride Part 39

“Now, can you show me your arcana?” Criella asked after a brief moment of awkward silence. 

Luther chuckled, but nodded. He supposed it was only fair that Criella see what she’d been right about. However, he wasn’t sure if the physical distance would prevent him from connecting to his wives or affect the results. 

“Sure,” He said. “Let’s see if distance plays a part. Which is farther away, the temple, or the Verdell estate?” 

“It’s now yo...

Harem House Chapter 41 Part 3

Minutes before, Kat and Katelyn glanced at one another. Their silent conversation expressed worry, concern, and timidity, but not in reference to Lynn. It was Kelly they wanted to address, but neither possessed the courage. 

Lynn could tell they didn’t enjoy what Kelly had done, or was doing. The constant harassment and bullying pressed further and further. She knew that slope all too well and how impossible it was to escape. She wondered if, years from now, Kelly would beg her f...

Harem House Chapter 40 - Deleted Scene

Author’s Note: So this is a deleted scene from Chapter 40 that didn’t make it into the WIPs. I initially drafted it to follow Selene’s POV, while she, Maria, and Jen prepared for their guys’ night surprise. It made sense in the outline, but since chapter 40 was already somewhat lengthy, I didn’t think it was necessary to include this section in the plot, as I could simply summarize their preparation and let the reader infer what happened. So, please enjoy this extra / deleted scene ...

Harem House Chapter 41 Part 2

“This is the display position. It’s one of several you should probably teach your slaves.” Arthur said to Mark and Brad. 

Mark looked at Maria and pointed to a space at the end of his side of the sofa. “Go stand next to Slut.” 

“Yes, Master,” Maria said as she slid away from Mark. She crawled to the end of the sofa and stood beside Selene with enough room for Arthur to stand between them. She mimicked Selene’s pose, raising her hands behind her head and...

Luther's Pride Part 38

Luther approached the trio waiting for him: Eira, Rhosyn, and Criella. The trio waited until he came to a stop before addressing him. Rhosyn kissed his left cheek, and Eira kissed his right. Criella lowered her eyes, but didn’t seem embarrassed or annoyed at the display of affection between the newlyweds. She hadn’t exactly seemed thrilled to see Lavinia, however. 

“Are you going to tell me what happened between you and Lavinia? Or do I have to ask Wulfric to fill me in on th...

Harem House Chapter 41 Part 1

Lynn knelt in the dirt, facing the doused fire pit and Mindy in her minuscule red bikini. The whole day had been one disaster after another for Lynn, and she couldn’t take any more. This facade of an apology dinner had turned into a brawl, which she lost. Now, she couldn’t even use her phone footage of the gathering because Kat had seen her scheme coming. Whether Lynn knocked it out of her hand or whether Kat had intentionally tossed it didn’t matter. Her phone, in its white armored cas...

Luther's Pride Part 37

Luther left the grand master bath behind as he and Helena parted ways. She slipped into her new chamber, and Luther entered his to find Wyll ready and standing at the mirror. Dressing was a quicker experience with someone there to help him, which was not the point. Wyll, for his part, was too young to take it as an insult that he didn’t know how to do his job if Luther did some of it himself. An older valet would have taken the insult to Wulfric and demanded mediation. For his part, Luther ...

Harem House Chapter 40 Part 4

Operation Clone was officially a go. Rani seized her opportunity while Lynn and Kelly were fighting. She grabbed her bag and hurried into Lynn’s apartment. Thankfully, Lynn left all her doors unlocked. The sliding glass door was even ajar, and with the lights off, Rani had a good view of the pool area through her windows while remaining hidden. Especially with Kelly keeping Lynn faced toward the fire. 

Combat wasn’t the distraction she’d planned to have, but it seemed compell...

Luther's Pride Part 36

The others met Helena, Emily, and Luther as they entered the house. The large foyer opened to the parlor where they’d gathered after changing out of their training garb and into their daywear. Each sipped a cup of coffee from their seats in the parlor. The incredible landscapes and portraits hung above them, with the large windows with their open curtains facing the front lawn. 

Despite the windows, surprise covered Jo and Rhosyn’s faces when they spotted Emily walking between ...

Harem House Chapter 40 Part 3

Selene stood frozen for a moment, then scrambled to catch up to Arthur. High heels weren’t the best running shoes, but her trot let her catch his long-gated stride by the kitchen archway. She grabbed his wrist, but he swung his arm away and pointed toward the office door. He kept walking, and Selene followed. He entered first and held the door for her as she followed. She kept her hands folded in front of her, unsure if she should be excited or nervous. 

“What’s wrong?” Sel...

How To Train Your Girlfriend 01

Author’s Note: Continuing this series of first chapters, I had an idea for another modern story with yet another cuckquean scenario. There might be a novel’s worth of story in this concept one day, but for now, it’s just a first chapter I wrote up to introduce you to the idea. Let me know what you think! Especially in relation to the other firsts, like the Pirate Wives of Penn, Liberty Legion, etc.

Harem House Chapter 40 Part 2

Mindy stirred, blinking awake as the brief slumber fell away from her like a blanket she discarded. Her body lay sprawled and lewd atop the desk, naked. She blinked and rose with her elbows behind her as she closed her legs. 

“Welcome back.” Kelly said, almost startling Mindy from her left. She sat in the bay window seat, surveying the front lawn. The sun had set, and it was dark outside, but the house lights illuminated Kelly with a soft glow. 

“How long was I o...

Luther's Pride Part 35

Helena struck first, but without the use of her arcana. She stepped forward with her stance and leveled a solid blow at Luther’s core, which he quickly sidestepped as he cast his spell, trying to regain that sense of meditative peace despite his surroundings. 

While he had plenty of experience casting and fighting simultaneously, his tricks were short, effortless castings that he’d developed beyond their normal limits. His new arcana was a longer process, which took more focus ...

Harem House Chapter 40 Part 1

Arthur arrived in the downstairs home office to find it mostly empty. A small pile of boxes packed with books sat to the right of the door, where Arthur had left them days ago. Otherwise, the room was bare of everything but the furniture and the curtains. The built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves had been stripped of their books when his parents moved out. The stained, dark wood climbed the walls to the left and right, surrounding the door through which Arthur walked. 

Facing him, ...

The Pirate Wives of Penn 001 (Redo)

Author’s Note: Okay, so this is my second attempt at this pirate adventure harem. It’s neither as polished nor as long as I’d like, but it’s my first stab at trying to rewrite the Pirate Wives of Penn. I went more for adventure fiction than historical fiction this time, so hopefully it's a little more exciting and fun. Let’s pretend the earlier entry never happened, and this is the new opening. It’s the first part of a longer adventure series that I haven’t written yet, but I wa...
