Cold Night

Comet just got off the phone; he wasn't happy. I sat listening through the wall for a full fifteen minutes catching what seemed like the petering end of a long drawn out argument. He'd just broken up with Sam, I hadn't heard the reason why, but I'd...

Snowbound

So my flight was cancelled, and after having already spent two hours on a stuffy coach sat next to a dude with bad BO I was pretty much ready to punch the next unfortunate soul who told me I couldn't have what I wanted. First world problems, right? But...

After Class

They were getting restless. Tired, smothered in the lazy heat, and so very close to the end of their class. The students were already perched upon the edges of their seats, bags and books in paws, eyes darting to the slow tick of the clock every time...

Dusk Rising: Prologue

_Present day:_ Bitter nightfall was fast approaching, as the sky lit up in an arching inferno from the screaming volleys and scorching bombshells. A sequestered island was the pockmark in a lake, attacked from all sides by invading forces that clawed...

His Master's Voice

The chill of the air made Boris's breath condense into a fine mist each time he dragged out a huff. It seemed to coalesce into a thin screen before him as his breathing came short and panting. A cold sweat stung his skin as droplets ran down his nude,...

Beau's Trepidation

Samantha was pissed, and she was on a rampage. I was tucked away, hidden in the kitchen as I stooped over our toaster that was well past the date where it belonged in the trash. Inside it desperately tried to incinerate the slice of bread I'd put in,...

Predator and Prey

They'd been leering at each other from across the club. A subtle wink here, a lick of the lips there; both were primed now. Nothing would stand in their way as the zebra by the bar made his way over to the lustful lion that huddled himself away in the...

Logan's Acceptance

It had been almost a month since I'd finally come clean to Robin. It had been gnawing away at me like some kind of diseased rat inside of me, and I'd finally had enough. Inviting him to the beach that had was one of the hardest things I've done in my...

Robin's Confession

I sat watching the sea roll before me, the soft sand tickling between the pads of my paws as I sipped at the ice cold beer. It stung my lips, but it felt good as it slithered its way down my throat and pooled in my gut. My buddy, Logan, had invited me...

The Thorned Rose: Part II

"Sure." That one word resonated deeply with Andrew, and he had to suppress the grin that threatened to bloom on his face and split it in two. The two girls were staring at him, one with a jealous sneer and the other who looked like she was about to...

Ultimate Control

Edward Black sat idly flicking through a magazine, an obscure brand that shouted out something regarding the real lives of celebrities and how their clothes somehow mattered. He paid little attention to the words, merely skimming his eyes through the...

The Thorned Rose: Part I

Andrew drummed his fingertips along the kitchen counter as he idly waited for the toaster. His mind was amiss, this morning, and it showed. His brow was creased in a darkened furrow, his eyes glazed over as though he were elsewhere, strung deep within...
