The Prince's Pleasure
It’s late in the evening when Dern is finally permitted to escape the rigmarole of the day. It’s seems he’s met one man after another, each of them someone his mother would have him marry, and she isn’t even hiding it anymore, isn’t even trying to make...
Two Scientists: Chapter Three
Three days later, Elek is so horny he can’t think. He’s been like this since he fucking left – what Ine had said before, that bullshit about getting so horny in his third or fourth week of this, that’s not right, doesn’t match up. His tits are...
Two Scientists: Chapter Two
Getting back to camp that night is an absolute agony. Elek only just manages to belt his robe closed over his fucked-full belly, the bulge visible under his clothes – the under tunic he hadn’t even been able to put on, has it folded in his back, and...
Two Scientists: Chapter One
“Five hundred?” Elek repeats, and he feels the weight of his coin pouch in his hand, frowning at it for a moment as he tries to run the calculations in his head, tries to make numbers work that simply won’t – there are a few goblets in his pack, but...
Bred & Betting
Dacius freezes in the doorway of the arena, his nostrils suddenly filled with the scent of the sand in the arena, and more than that, the other smells too — the iron and copper from blood spilled in the last bout, the thickness of sweat on the air,...
Parley
“Over you go, girl,” growls the minotaur, and Evadne holds her head up high, tries to feign confidence and haughtiness, even. She starts to curl her lip, to show the barest hint of her teeth and pretend she doesn’t have to nearly crane her head back to...
The Scholarship Lottery
Charlie's feet pound hard as he runs through the mud, feeling it spatter up his bare calves and the backs of his knees. He takes a sharp turn to head down one of the maze tunnels, skidding in the wet earth as he goes. He hears the metal clatter of the...
The Mermaid and the Fisherman
He walked north until the blisters on his feet stopped bleeding. His back hurt too, of course, from the weight of his satchel, but the welts on the backs of his thighs were healed, at least, by the time he came to a stop. Standing on the craggy...
Slime Breeder
“It's gonna be fine, Sam," says Alfa as they move forward, and Sam rubs his arm, feeling extremely underdressed as they make their way further into the dungeon corridor. Alfa, Jock, Maven, and Harrow were all clinking in their usual armour, and Sam...
Mating Season
The morning, even before the sun has fully risen, is hot and balmy, and Anso is relieved he’d gone out of the castle proper with so much time left in the day – he’ll finish gathering herbs well before lunch, and when time comes for him to return to...
The Golden Lion
The Beast begins to approach from the other end of the corridor, seeming to materialise from the black depths of the shadows that form there, where the torchlight doesn’t reach. Meri sees him slowly emerge from the darkness and stride forward, sees the...
The Wonderful Tide
“Can you be trusted with this, Menthe?” Neres asks. He’s a tall man, tall and cool and made of sharp angles – his skin is a grey-green, has a density to its shade that reminds him of some natural ores, his eyes are a very pale lilac, and there’s a...
