A Lion's Needs: Distraction (Part 1 of 7)
Cam grunted as he thrust back into me. His jaw clenched as he gasped, his back arched. I let my hands fall from his body. He lifted his head. "Uhhnh." His voice sunk. He tensed as he came in my ass. I exhaled, catching him as he fell against...
A Wolf's Plea: Calm (Bonus Scene)
There was a cold weight in my stomach. A ghost of what I once knew. It was strange to meet it again here, in an alleyway behind a soup kitchen with a burlap sack of vegetables hung over one shoulder. It was an echo of itself, a scar from hunger...
Quiet of the Night
Csshnk. I never knew what to do with myself on the quiet nights. Csshnk. The orange coals of our campfire stained my vision. Csshnk. I turned my gaze to the stars. Thud. My sword fell to the grass. Thud. And the whetstone beside it. I...
Silver Moonlight (Faust's Rebirth)
The blade had notched Faust's ribs. The sickening sound of metal carving through flesh and striking bone rung in their ears. It pounded through their skull as they ran, drowning out their own heartbeat. They could still feel their attacker...
A Bear's Needs: Embarrassment (Part 3 of 7)
I don't know what I actually expected sending a message like that to Scott. But maybe I should've been less casual. Should've offered him a proper apology. I didn't think he'd ignore me. Couldn't even imagine it. That wasn't like him at all. He'd...
A Bear's Needs: Poorly Tempted (Part 2 of 7)
I sat awake in the quiet night for too long, lost in my own thoughts. My drunkenness passed onto nausea and feeling like shit. Exhaustion tightened like a fist around my thoughts. What I'd done to Cam haunted me. I couldn't sleep. Not after that....
A Bear's Needs: Mistake (Part 1 of 7)
I could hardly remember what it felt like to not be lonely. Today was a year since Scott walked out of my life. Easily, this had been the worst year of my life. I'd gone through every stage of grief over and over, only for something new to shock me...
Indecent Reunion
I wasn't all that sure what I was doing here. It was nice to come back to my old stomping grounds, sure. But like this? Summer sun beat down on the park, and though covered by a canopy of trees I stopped to wipe my brow. I hadn't been here in...
A Lion's Needs: Moving On (Part 7 of 7)
A wave of tiredness crashed over me the instant I stepped into my apartment. Cam was still asleep and though I initially headed for the couch to nap, I decided better and crawled into bed alongside him. For a moment, it felt a bit strange. Like I...
A Lion's Needs: Certainty (Part 6 of 7)
I was not an angry person. There was nothing I hated more than getting caught up in anger. It was blinding and hurtful. Awful to have so much negativity ricocheting around my head. And yet, for days now it was all I felt. Cam and I weren't...
Scorched Earth: Jinx-Eater
Clement hid his face behind a hand of cards. He hummed like he was thinking, one of his tall rabbit ears flopped at an angle to suggest he was defeated. Frustrations buzzed about the table as he hesitated. He was taunting the others and they knew it....
The Plumber
A sharp rap at the door put an end to my waiting. The plumber was here. I rolled my shoulders as I went to let him in, there was a lot I wanted to get done today and waiting on a tradesman wasn't one of them. I'd been splitting hairs over an...
