Dancing With Fire - Chapter 12
Harper paced back and forth in his office. An antique mirror he'd dug out of the attic now stood in one corner. He came to a stop in front of it, the latest of many times, and faced his reflection. "Once more, from the top," he said to himself, then...

Blitzø hunched over the wheel of his van the whole way to Stolas's estate. He had the radio blasting as always, but he hardly paid attention to the music. It was that time of the month again, and Blitzø didn't even have it in him to crack a disgusting...
Dancing With Fire - Chapter 10
The first thing Blitzø noticed upon waking up was just how warm and cozy he was. When he went to rub the sleep out of his eyes, he found he couldn't move. The imp yawned and blinked as his eyes adjusted to the morning light filtering into the room....

In the three years he had worked for I.M.P., Moxxie had never felt more conflicted. He had been surprised and delighted when Blitzø had walked in during the morning meeting and slapped down a sheet of paper detailing his promotion to Chief of...
Dancing With Fire - Chapter 8
True to Drek's word, there was a car waiting for Blitzø in the parking lot when he emerged. He rode to Harper's estate in silence. All the while, his thoughts raced at a mile a minute. He found out I'm banging Stolas, and ghosted us for a couple...
Dancing With Fire - Chapter 7
For two weeks, things were quiet at I.M.P. Save for the occasional client off the street, or the odd job from Stolas (the latter accompanied by many thirsty calls and texts), the sudden surge of work had tapered off. Drek hadn't called to arrange for a...

Harper made no effort to approach Loona. He had seen her hiding behind the front desk as he emerged from Blitzø's office. No matter, he could smooth things over with her at his leisure, at least if he cared to. The employees he was most...
Dancing With Fire - Chapter 5
Another month passed, and Harper's contact with I.M.P. remained consistent (albeit off the record and under the table). The Overlord once again visited their office, this time for debriefing on their tenth mission. He had previously taken to sending an...

Two days later, Harper was back in Blitzø's office. Blitzø sat bolt upright in his seat, a wide grin on his face as he watched the Overlord inspect the stack of gruesome photographs in his lap. Harper's face was unreadable, and he made no comment as he...

"No," Loona murmured, "Oh no. No no fuck no. Fuck fuck shit!" her voice grew louder as her cursing intensified. She backed away from the desk and curled up in a ball against the wall. Her tail was tucked firmly between her legs. "Lord Harper, I am so,...

\*Arf arf arf arf arf arf arf!\* Loona rolled her eyes as the doggie phone at her desk sprang to life. Reluctantly, she put down her smartphone and picked up the receiver. "Hello, I.M.P. This is Loona speaking," she droned. "Ah yes, good morning,...
Dancing With Fire - Chapter 1
"Mr. Harper." Harper grumbled and shifted in his sleep. "Mr. Harper. It's time to wake up." The Overlord in question grumbled again. This time, one burning yellow eye shot open to regard the well-groomed imp standing by his bedside. After a moment's...
