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...

A Lion's Needs: Curiosity (Part 5 of 7)

Eleven months ago _I was lying in bed, relaxed when Cam entered the spare room Rob had lent me to crash in. There was something about him I couldn't place. Something new. An embarrassed grin shaped his lips. A lightness in his eyes, so different...

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....

Good Neighbors 7: Regret

Anxiety encompassed the days that had passed since I shouted Max out of my apartment. I knew I should apologise, I just couldn't reconcile everything he'd told me with the things I felt. But Ralph would text me. Ralph would call me. He'd find all these...

Good Neighbors 1: Beating Heartbreak

"So what's the deal?" I crept my thick fingers up Gabbie, my girlfriend's leg, staring into her eyes with a bit of uncertainty. "You haven't been in the mood for a week now." I brushed my thumb under the edge of her shorts, sneaking my hand up her...

Good Neighbors 6: Indulgence

I agonised over sending it. _Sorry_. It wasn't a good message but it was one I had to send. Regret gnawed at me. It had been days since I'd had my date with Hope but I flaked on her the instant Ralph made his body available to me. I'd never...

Good Neighbors 5: Stalked

Only I could fix myself. It was a realization that had dawned on me the day after Ralph came into my place of work. I didn't need to remind myself that I nutted in him thrice, that was all I could really think about. I was obsessive. The thought of...

Good Neighbors 4: Seduction

Those damn cats had ruined me. First it was Max, with his coy seduction and sharp words. Then Ralph, with his demure body, his pink paws, his everything. He was too much. And I couldn't have him. Max would be furious if I even tried, and I...

Good Neighbors 3: Pent Up

Getting Max off my mind was impossible. Like, actually impossible. He drifted through my idle thoughts. Memories of him clawed his way into my focus. The bastard had even wrangled himself so tightly into my break up that the moment I felt a...
