&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joey woke feeling more rested and refreshed than he could remember ever feeling before. For a moment, he simply basked in the warmth from the body pressed against his. Then, with one hand, he reached up and softly squeezed one firm breast, his touch drawing a soft murmur from the head on the pillow in front of him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Morning,&amp;rdquo; he said softly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Morning?&amp;rdquo; Raising her head, Esmerelda turned and looked back over her shoulder. &amp;ldquo;Impossible,&amp;rdquo; she whispered. &amp;ldquo;I saw the sun coming up before we fell asleep.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 7: Arietta's Turn</title><link>/stories/2017/10/21/homecoming-7-ariettas-turn/</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/10/21/homecoming-7-ariettas-turn/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming6.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming 6: Silent Witness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

Part 7: Arietta&amp;rsquo;s Turn&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mother, do I have to?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Isolda sighed softly. How can it be, she thought, that I can rule and entire kingdom, yet I can&amp;rsquo;t seem to get through to my own daughter? Maybe the old ways really are best.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Etta,&amp;rdquo; she said softly, &amp;ldquo;it&amp;rsquo;s not like I&amp;rsquo;m asking you to do anything difficult.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Undercover 2</title><link>/stories/2017/09/29/undercover-2/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/09/29/undercover-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="undercover.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Undercover&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One nice thing about salads, Joey thought as he rinsed his plate and put it in the drainer. With salads, dishes were so much easier to deal with. Too bad laundry couldn&amp;rsquo;t be so easy. Smiling, he turned away from the sink and moved into the living room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the three days since he moved in, Joey had grown quite familiar with his new apartment. Large, spacious, the apartment took up the entire third floor of the building. In addition to the living room and kitchen, the place boasted a pair of good sized bedrooms, two full baths, laundry room, pantry, and an small extra room set up as a gym. There was even a balcony. Entry to the building was through a single door in the front corner. Inside, just to the right of the door, was an elevator. On each floor, the apartment was reached via a door at the far end of the hall that stretched the length of that side of the building. This put the living room at the rear, while the bedrooms shared the front wall. Not a normal arrangement, as far as he knew, but he liked it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Freedom</title><link>/stories/2017/08/11/freedom/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/08/11/freedom/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Simple things can trigger happy memories. For Erica, it was the sound of a key in a lock, until now. Glancing around, she flexed muscles that hadn&amp;rsquo;t been used in probably too long, thinking about how that simple joy had changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I love that sound.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His face sporting a puzzled look, Jacob watched as the deputy opened the cell door. &amp;ldquo;And why,&amp;rdquo; he asked, &amp;ldquo;is that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;d think I&amp;rsquo;m strange if I told you,&amp;rdquo; Erica replied, stepping slowly from the cell where she&amp;rsquo;d just spent the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Advanced Bondage 3</title><link>/stories/2017/07/31/advanced-bondage-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/07/31/advanced-bondage-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="advancedbondage2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advanced Bondage 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Retire?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nikki Vincent nodded without raising her head from Bob&amp;rsquo;s shoulder. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ve been thinking about it,&amp;rdquo; she replied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;But why? You love bondage.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nikki nodded again. &amp;ldquo;I do,&amp;rdquo; she said softly. &amp;ldquo;Bondage is my one great love, always has been. But there are other things, things I&amp;rsquo;m getting tired of.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Such as?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slowly, Nikki raised herself from where she lay nearly atop Bob. Kneeling beside him on the bed, she began ticking points on her fingers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Cave</title><link>/stories/2017/05/07/the-cave/</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/05/07/the-cave/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was called Lost Cave. A natural cavern, it served as home for runaways, derelicts, anyone who had no place else to go. The police never entered Lost Cave. Indeed, they never even went near the narrow entrance to the cavern. Nobody did who had a choice. Until Sheila Johnson appeared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slipping through the narrow opening, Sheila gazed around, feeling a vague sense of disappointment. From the stories she’d been told, she’d almost expected to see a huge cavern, crammed with people. Instead, she looked upon a medium sized cave.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Closet Fairy</title><link>/stories/2017/05/07/the-closet-fairy/</link><pubDate>Sun, 07 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/05/07/the-closet-fairy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Rebecca! What is this?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sprawled on her bed, Beck glanced up from her tablet. Mrs. Henderson stood at her bedroom door, gazing at the room with horror in her eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Are any of your clothes actually put away?” she asked, gesturing toward the clothing heaped around the room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It’s ok, Mrs. H.,” Becky said calmly. “I know where most of it is.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“That’s not the point,” Mrs. Henderson replied. “Clothing should be neatly folded and put in your dresser, or neatly hanging in your closet. It shouldn’t be dumped onto a chair, and it certainly shouldn’t be dumped on the floor. The closet fairy is not going to like this one bit.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Barbarian Way</title><link>/stories/2017/05/06/the-barbarian-way/</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/05/06/the-barbarian-way/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Halt!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shuffling along the dusty trail, the young man in the furs and armor stopped and gazed upwards. Above him, cliffs towered on both sides of the trail. Shading his eyes, he gazed at the tops of the cliffs, then continued forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I said halt!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, the youth halted and gazed upwards. “Or what?” he asked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Or I’ll skewer you.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Skewer? As in shoot me with an arrow?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Umm, no.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Girl Time 3: Decisions</title><link>/stories/2017/04/29/girl-time-3-decisions/</link><pubDate>Sat, 29 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/04/29/girl-time-3-decisions/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="girltime2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girl Time 2: Demonstration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girl Time 3: Decisions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carol awoke to a room beginning to brighten with the light of morning. For a moment, she glanced around the room, her eyes eventually coming to rest on the bed. Her friends lay as she&amp;rsquo;d last seen them. Sandy, her body still stretched by the ropes that bound her limbs to the bed&amp;rsquo;s corner posts, snored softly. Beside her, wrists and ankles cuffed, the chains intertwined in a way that held her heels close to her ass, Myra lay face down, her face snuggled into the shorter woman&amp;rsquo;s shoulder. Both, obviously, were still sound asleep.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sandra's Ordeal</title><link>/stories/2017/02/05/sandras-ordeal/</link><pubDate>Sun, 05 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/02/05/sandras-ordeal/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Join the fleet, they said.

&lt;p&gt;Surprisingly, she thought, there had been a time when she&amp;rsquo;d believe what all those vids had claimed, which was why she&amp;rsquo;d enlisted right after graduation. Now, nearly five years later, she&amp;rsquo;d reached the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, Ma&amp;rsquo;am. Per your request, electrical service to your residence will be shut off at precisely five this evening.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Precisely. I&amp;rsquo;m going on a trip, and that&amp;rsquo;s the exact time I&amp;rsquo;ll be leaving.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Coming.&amp;rdquo; Slipping into the jacket of her smart business suit, Trish glanced at the mirror and smiled. Not bad, she thought. Not bad at all. Only three weeks until her fortieth birthday, and she could still turn heads. Still smiling, she turned and left her office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ok, Gina, let&amp;rsquo;s go.&amp;rdquo; Nodding, her assistant fell in beside her. &amp;ldquo;Everything in place?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Pretty much,&amp;rdquo; Gina replied, eyes never lifting from the pad she carried in one hand. How, Trish wondered, can she do that all day without walking into things? &amp;ldquo;We did have one no-show at the Worm Race, but one of the instructors from the Wrap Academy offered to fill in, so we&amp;rsquo;re good.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Thing</title><link>/stories/2016/09/08/the-thing/</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/09/08/the-thing/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re late.

&lt;p&gt;Giselle smiled sheepishly. &amp;ldquo;I know,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Byron frowned. &amp;ldquo;I thought you were going to leave early this time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I did,&amp;rdquo; Giselle told him. &amp;ldquo;But, well, I guess I got a bit distracted on the way here.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I can imagine. How many selfies did you take on the way here?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Only a couple.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Byron held out his hand. &amp;ldquo;Phone.&amp;rdquo; Silently, Giselle handed her phone to him, watching as he checked her image gallery. &amp;lsquo;Nineteen,&amp;quot; he finally said, glancing up at her. &amp;ldquo;Giselle, it&amp;rsquo;s a six block walk, and you took nineteen selfies?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Return Of Ankhesenamun 3: Ankhesenamun's Slave</title><link>/stories/2016/08/19/return-of-ankhesenamun-3-ankhesenamuns-slave/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/08/19/return-of-ankhesenamun-3-ankhesenamuns-slave/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="returnofankhesenamun2.html"&gt;Part Two&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 3: Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s Slave&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kendell glanced around herself despondently. Only yesterday, she&amp;rsquo;d rushed into this apartment. She&amp;rsquo;d been trying to save Gina, her friend, from the curse of Ankhesenamun, an ancient Egyptian priestess. Instead, she&amp;rsquo;d found Gina&amp;rsquo;s body already possessed by Ankhesenamun spirit. She, herself, had quickly found herself enslaved by Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s powers, unable to refuse any command, including the latest one, to remain in this apartment until Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s return.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Case For Chastity</title><link>/stories/2016/07/28/a-case-for-chastity/</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/07/28/a-case-for-chastity/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;If dad could see me right now&amp;hellip;.. he&amp;rsquo;d probably kill me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nervously, Chastity stepped out onto the catwalk overlooking the production floor. This had seemed like a great idea before, but now she wasn&amp;rsquo;t so sure. Still, she&amp;rsquo;d made it this far, so the rest should be easy. Slowly, but with growing confidence, she made her way along the catwalk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The whole thing had begun earlier in the day, when Chastity had dropped in to visit her father at work. He, however, had been less than pleased, namely because of her choice of clothing. She&amp;rsquo;d been wearing a light, short summer dress, its tight, thin material leaving no doubt that there was no bra beneath. Instead of a visit, she&amp;rsquo;d been on the receiving end of a lecture on propriety.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Adventures Of Carolina Skye</title><link>/stories/2016/07/27/the-adventures-of-carolina-skye/</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/07/27/the-adventures-of-carolina-skye/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Pausing as she moved across the parking lot, the woman smiled, shifting the bundles in her arms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Beautiful,&amp;rdquo; she murmured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before her sat a large Peterbilt truck, its metal-flake emerald green paint gleaming in the light. On the side of the sleeper, a mural depicted peach trees silhouetted before a setting sun. Above, gilt letters spelled out the words &amp;ldquo;Carolina Skye&amp;rdquo;. Seeing a figure standing by the door, she frowned, walking quickly forward.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Return Of Ankhesenamun 2: Handmaidens</title><link>/stories/2016/07/24/return-of-ankhesenamun-2-handmaidens/</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/07/24/return-of-ankhesenamun-2-handmaidens/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="returnofankhesenamun.html"&gt;Part One&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Handmaidens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kendell slammed the phone down with a muttered curse. Damn airlines! And damn the chronic instability of the area! She&amp;rsquo;d tried every available airline, and not one could sell her a direct ticket home. Nothing, it seemed, was flying in or out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Silently, she stared at the phone. What was it the man in her dream said? Someone she knew well taking Ankhesenamun&amp;rsquo;s place? Her face paled. Gina! She had to get home, no matter what!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Boys Will Be...</title><link>/stories/2016/07/10/boys-will-be.../</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/07/10/boys-will-be.../</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I can&amp;rsquo;t believe they turned us down.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Silence greeted the remark as the four young men walked despondently along the forest trail. Around them, the trees blazed with the colors of fall, but the beauty of nature went unnoticed by the reluctant hikers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The four men, James, Jeff, Robert and Wayne, had just made their way to the secluded hideout of The Marauders, a local band with links to nearly every illegal act in the area. The four friends had thought to join, but the seasoned criminals of the gang had simply laughed and chased them off. Now, to make matters worse, they were lost.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beta 3: Belladonna Sciori</title><link>/stories/2016/06/28/beta-3-belladonna-sciori/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/06/28/beta-3-belladonna-sciori/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="beta2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beta 2: Spencer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What you&amp;rsquo;re proposing is treason, don&amp;rsquo;t you realize that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seated to one side of the large table, Bella watched quietly as Spencer considered his reply.  As she waited for him to speak, she thought about the path that had brought them here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They had spent, altogether, five days at Spencer&amp;rsquo;s cabin, resting and preparing themselves for the first step in his grand plan.  After leaving, they had spent the next month and a half moving from town to town within the province.  At each town, Spencer had spoken with the leaders, directing each to meet here.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Giving Back</title><link>/stories/2016/06/02/giving-back/</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/06/02/giving-back/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s wrong?

&lt;p&gt;Clive Barker glanced up from the stacks of money he was counting. With a grin, he shook his head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It has nothing to do with trust,&amp;rdquo; he replied. &amp;ldquo;Just good business sense. After all, it wouldn&amp;rsquo;t do to have problems arise out of a simple counting error, would it? I&amp;rsquo;m just making sure your people didn&amp;rsquo;t make any mistakes.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;So does that mean we should check our side to make sure there were no mistakes?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Return Of Ankhesenamun</title><link>/stories/2016/06/01/return-of-ankhesenamun/</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/06/01/return-of-ankhesenamun/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="../storiesek/kendellsdiscovery.html"&gt;Kendell&amp;rsquo;s Discovery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;amazing.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gina Hanley stared at the museum&amp;rsquo;s latest addition. Five mummies stood in carefully prepared niches in the display wall. From the display, her eyes fell to the note that had accompanied the mummies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gina,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These five were discovered together at a new site Trevor is digging. Sorry you weren&amp;rsquo;t there to oversee their placement, but I asked the director to set them up before he told you about them. Bigger surprise that way, don&amp;rsquo;t you think? Anyway, the one in the middle was Ankhesenamun, and she was some kind of high priestess. The other four, best as we can tell, were her handmaidens. So far, we&amp;rsquo;ve not been able to find anything about her in any records, but you know how good they were back then at erasing people they didn&amp;rsquo;t want remembered. Which means we may never get anything more than her name and title. I should be there in a few days, if I can talk Trevor into giving my clothes back.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Most Fitting Ending</title><link>/stories/2016/05/18/a-most-fitting-ending/</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/05/18/a-most-fitting-ending/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You wanted to see me?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paul Scott, owner of Scott Home Automation, didn&amp;rsquo;t enjoy being called to a customer&amp;rsquo;s home. A small company with barely fifty employees, SHA had pioneered the art of full home automation, using proprietary, state of the art technology developed by Scott himself. So far, customer satisfaction had been high, with customers asking to see him only to express their delight at his company&amp;rsquo;s work.

&lt;p&gt;Paul Scott, owner of Scott Home Automation, didn&amp;rsquo;t enjoy being called to a customer&amp;rsquo;s home. A small company with barely fifty employees, SHA had pioneered the art of full home automation, using proprietary, state of the art technology developed by Scott himself. So far, customer satisfaction had been high, with customers asking to see him only to express their delight at his company&amp;rsquo;s work.

&lt;p&gt;Emerging from the back room of his small shop, Raymond watched as his newest customers approached.  So far, his dealings with this small group hadn&amp;rsquo;t been pleasant, and he saw no reason to expect this time to be any different.  Solemnly he gazed at each member of the approaching group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doug, the leader, was tall, muscular, almost too handsome for his own good.  Combining the body of a lumberjack with all the finesse of a crazed bull in a china shop, he delighted in tormenting anyone smaller than himself.  Which, to be honest, was pretty much everyone.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kira 3</title><link>/stories/2015/12/23/kira-3/</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/12/23/kira-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="kira2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kira 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;My Queen?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, the woman standing in the center of the room seemed not to hear. Then, slowly, she turned, hands fumbling at a buckle for the armor she wore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What is it?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;My Queen, you have a visitor.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The woman scowled. &amp;ldquo;Do I look like I have time for a visitor? Whoever it is, get rid of them.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, my Queen. I will tell Her Majesty you are not accepting visitors today.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Her Gift</title><link>/stories/2015/12/11/her-gift/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/12/11/her-gift/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Entering the room, she glanced around her, eyes taking in her surroundings. Seeing everything in its proper place, she nodded, moving to the windows and making sure the curtains and drapes were fully closed. For what she had in mind, she definitely didn&amp;rsquo;t want the neighbors looking in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving to a table, she picked up a bag and an extension cord. Plugged into the cord was a timer, and plugged into this was an adaptor that converted the timer&amp;rsquo;s single plug into three. Moving to a carefully selected spot on the floor, she plugged two cords into the adaptor, then set the timer before placing it carefully on the carpet.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Go</title><link>/stories/2015/12/03/go/</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/12/03/go/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Regina Monroe and Raymond Moore were partners with a history. From their first days at the Academy, they had been thrust together by a system that loved to alphabetize everything. In classroom, during field training, even on the exercise yard, the placement of their names on the lists had them paired together more often than not. By the time they graduated, their partnership had been established beyond any doubt, with even some of the instructors referring to them as Raygina. After graduation, assigned to the same station, the partnership, and the nickname, had stuck.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kasa's Posting</title><link>/stories/2015/11/14/kasas-posting/</link><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/11/14/kasas-posting/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Consciousness brought, first, pain, a sharp throbbing that made her wince even before she was aware enough to know why. Next came the sensation of coolness on one side, while something warm pressed against the other. Slowly, as awareness grew, she began silently assessing her situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was, she realized, standing naked on a hard pressed dirt surface. The sensation of warmth came from a body pressed against her back, its warm flesh touching hers along the length of her body. Even without seeing, she had no doubt who&amp;rsquo;s flesh pressed so firmly against hers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Teacher's Pet</title><link>/stories/2015/11/14/teachers-pet/</link><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/11/14/teachers-pet/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Clicking out of his program, Jeff leaned back in his computer chair with a contented sigh. The numbers were good, everything was going slightly better than planned. If this trend continued, he&amp;rsquo;d actually wind up in better shape than he&amp;rsquo;d thought possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slightly less than six months earlier, Jeff had found himself holding a winning lottery ticket. Not the biggest prize, no record by any means, but big enough. Even after taxes, and spread out over twenty years, it amounted to more money than he could hope to spend. He just had to make it through this first year.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Home Is The Princess</title><link>/stories/2015/10/17/home-is-the-princess/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/10/17/home-is-the-princess/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Authors note: This is a standalone story featuring characters from &lt;a href="https://boundstories.net/storiesek/homecoming.html"&gt;Homecoming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Isolda!&amp;rdquo; The shout echoed through the dense trees, its reverberations seemingly swallowed by the huge trunks. Turning, Balian repeated his shout, as if hoping a different direction would bring a response. &amp;ldquo;Damn it, girl, where are you?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eyes raking the trees, Balian urged his horse into motion along the faint trail. &amp;ldquo;Damn girl,&amp;rdquo; he muttered, &amp;ldquo;I didn&amp;rsquo;t come this far to lose you now.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Thief and The Bounty Hunter</title><link>/stories/2015/10/10/the-thief-and-the-bounty-hunter/</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/10/10/the-thief-and-the-bounty-hunter/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="thief_bounty_hunter.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Thief and The Bounty Hunter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Who am I?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For most, this would be a simple question, perhaps an exercise in philosophical thinking. For the naked woman now staring at her reflection, it was much more than that. But it hadn&amp;rsquo;t always been so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just over two months ago, she had known without question who she was. Back then, she&amp;rsquo;d been Victoria Swann. Secretly, she had also been the international thief known as the Phantom Fem. Only one person had ever discovered her dual identity, and it was because of him that she now asked herself this question.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Erin &amp; Eleanor 2</title><link>/stories/2015/10/04/erin-eleanor-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/10/04/erin-eleanor-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="erin_eleanor.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We found her.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good. Bring her.&amp;rdquo; Rising from her comfortable seat, the slender woman watched as two men hauled a second woman into the room. As they released her, this woman dropped to her knees, wide eyes darting around the room. &amp;ldquo;Now leave us. And remember, if you speak of this to anyone, even to each other, my Master will know, and he will not be pleased.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Caution</title><link>/stories/2015/08/22/caution/</link><pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/08/22/caution/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;If there was one thing Stella Jordan believed in, it was caution. The world, she knew, was a dangerous place, and only by exercising caution could a person remain safe. If you don&amp;rsquo;t give someone the means to do something bad, she was fond of saying, then the bad thing will never be done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stella&amp;rsquo;s home was designed with this philosophy in mind. With its sturdy block walls and metal roof, it offered little to tempt any aspiring arsonist, while underground phone and power lines served to prevent any kind of sabotage of services. Iron bars and solid shutters adorned each window, removing the risk of someone breaking in. All in all, Stella&amp;rsquo;s house protected her from anything and everything someone might wish to do to her. Until, that is, she met Brenda.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Robert's Dream</title><link>/stories/2015/08/21/roberts-dream/</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/08/21/roberts-dream/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Robert closed his door with a soft sigh.  It had been a long day to end an even longer week.  Work had been worse than usual, and his attempt to relax at a neighborhood bar hadn&amp;rsquo;t helped a bit.  Now, though, he was home, where nobody would bother him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stripping off his clothes, he treated himself to a long, hot shower.  After drying off, he collapsed onto his bed.  Tiredly, almost lazily, he reached down and slowly began stroking himself.  This was something he only did on Friday night, so it didn&amp;rsquo;t take long for him to become hard.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bed Games</title><link>/stories/2015/08/15/bed-games/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/08/15/bed-games/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Well, what do you think?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a shrug, Jess glanced around Brandon&amp;rsquo;s one room apartment. It looked pretty much the same as usual, with one exception.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Where&amp;rsquo;s the bed?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Grinning, Brandon moved to stand in the space his bed had once occupied. Now, instead of the large headboard, the wall sported an extension, rather like a closet. Still grinning, Brandon opened folding doors, revealing the bottom of his bed folded into the wall. Jess watched as he lowered it, legs unfolding from the outer end to support the weight.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Negotiations</title><link>/stories/2015/06/18/negotiations/</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/06/18/negotiations/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Authors note: This is a standalone story featuring characters from &lt;a href="https://boundstories.net/storiesek/homecoming.html"&gt;Homecoming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a small courtyard, at least compared to others she&amp;rsquo;d seen. Glancing around, she doubted even five hundred could fit here, no matter how closely packed. This smallish fort near the border was never meant for the kind of meeting about to take place. This was a place for soldiers, not show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Around her were nearly one hundred people, their rich clothing a sea of reds and yellows. Beside her stood the focus of this gathering, his own clothing even richer and brighter than those around him. Like the rest, he watched the front gate, on the far side of the courtyard.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jane Times Five 2: Plus One</title><link>/stories/2015/05/17/jane-times-five-2-plus-one/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/05/17/jane-times-five-2-plus-one/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="janetimesfive.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jane Times Five&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Plus One&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Is it ready yet?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;No, not yet, but Jane says it&amp;rsquo;s getting close. Just be patient.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This waiting is killing me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Except for the color and style of their hair, the three women standing by the door were identical to each other. They were, in fact, clones, three of four created by gifted scientist Jane Morris to help with her work. Physically, mentally, they were exact copies. There were, however some differences, other than the obvious hair color.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners 6: The Three Points</title><link>/stories/2015/05/11/four-corners-6-the-three-points/</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/05/11/four-corners-6-the-three-points/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="fourcorners5.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners 5: Andrew/Andrea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 6: The Three Points&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entering the clubhouse Sunday morning, Andrew saw the other three already there. &amp;ldquo;Well, ladies,&amp;rdquo; he asked, &amp;ldquo;how was your evening?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I had fun.&amp;rdquo; Glancing up from his chair, Taylor seemed barely able to contain his smile. Wearing loose pajamas, he half lay in his chair, looking more relaxed than Andrew could ever remember seeing him. &amp;ldquo;It was a great evening.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Doll Play 3</title><link>/stories/2015/03/19/doll-play-3/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/19/doll-play-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="dollplay2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doll Play 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is all your fault.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;And how do you figure that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Stein glared at her partner, Simon Jones. At this moment, she would have loved nothing more than to slap him. Unfortunately, even that satisfaction was denied her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica stood with her back to a metal pole. Her arms, stretched over her head, were cuffed together, the cuffs themselves attached to a ring mounted on the pole. A broad strap around her waist held her pressed firmly back against the pole. In front of her, Simon stood against a second pole, identically bound.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kendell's Discovery</title><link>/stories/2015/03/18/kendells-discovery/</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/03/18/kendells-discovery/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What are you doing here?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kendell Raines grinned. &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s wrong, Trevor, not glad to see me?&amp;rdquo; Turning, Kendell thrust one hip toward Trevor Wallace, then cupped both breasts. &amp;ldquo;Or would you rather see me another way?&amp;rdquo; Trevor, she knew, had always wanted to see her naked, and she couldn&amp;rsquo;t resist the chance to tease him a little.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I mean,&amp;rdquo; Trevor said tersely, &amp;ldquo;what are you doing on my site? This is a scientific dig, and we don&amp;rsquo;t need you prancing around with your mumbo jumbo.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Under the Tree</title><link>/stories/2014/12/21/under-the-tree/</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/12/21/under-the-tree/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Briana smiled as she carefully locked the front door. Turning, she strode into the living room, pausing beside a large, wheeled suitcase. Slowly, and with obvious effort, she lowered the case to lie flat, then slid the zippers open and throwing back the top to reveal the naked woman curled within.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hello, Jolene,&amp;rdquo; she said, dragging the limp form from the case. &amp;ldquo;Oh,&amp;rdquo; she smiled, &amp;ldquo;I do know who you are, by the way. Wouldn&amp;rsquo;t do to kidnap the wrong woman, after all.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Race 2: Stacy</title><link>/stories/2014/12/19/the-race-2-stacy/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/12/19/the-race-2-stacy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="therace.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Stacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kendell James stared glumly at the laptop&amp;rsquo;s screen. Downstairs, Stacey Morris was overseeing the unloading of yet another truckload of furniture for her new house. Forbidden clothing, Kendell could only hide here in an upstairs room until the movers left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just yesterday, Kendell had lost what was probably the strangest race ever. She and Stacey, both nude, each securely bound by her own hand, had struggled through the empty rooms searching for the keys they needed to release themselves. Stacey had won that race, leaving Kendell her complete slave for the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Size Matters</title><link>/stories/2014/12/03/size-matters/</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/12/03/size-matters/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You want me to what?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bill Stewart, managing editor, raised his hands as if to ward off a blow. Across the desk, Sharon Wallace glared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Sharon, it&amp;rsquo;s not my call,&amp;rdquo; he said quickly. &amp;ldquo;I was ordered to put you on more stories like this.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharon crossed her arms, her glare undiminished. At four feet, eleven inches tall, the slender reporter was far from a dangerous sight. Still, knowing her temper, just the sight of that glare was enough to scare him half witless.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Babe Bomb 2</title><link>/stories/2014/11/15/the-babe-bomb-2/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/11/15/the-babe-bomb-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="babebomb.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Babe Bomb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Doctor, we have a problem.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;James Watson gazed around the now familiar office. The last time he&amp;rsquo;d been here, one of his inventions had been misused. Now, turning his attention to the man behind the desk, he frowned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What have you done now?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Major George Franklin returned the frown. As head of a top secret special projects division, he&amp;rsquo;d borne the blame for the earlier fiasco. It had taken months for the waves from that one to die down, and Franklin had been lucky to keep his rank. Now, leaning back in his chair, he gazed at Watson thoughtfully, as if choosing his words very carefully.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Brandy's Revenge</title><link>/stories/2014/10/30/brandys-revenge/</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/10/30/brandys-revenge/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Usually, Brandy found Matt&amp;rsquo;s snore annoying. Today, however, the sound pleased her to no end. It meant the knockout drops she&amp;rsquo;d put into his soda had worked. For a moment, she simply gazed at his sleeping face. But time was wasting, and she had a lot to do to get him ready.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You know,&amp;rdquo; she said, pulling Matt from the couch and stretching him out on the floor, &amp;ldquo;this is all your fault, and I intend to remind you of that fact later.&amp;rdquo; Carefully, she removed his clothing before rushing into the bedroom and returning with a rather large bag. &amp;ldquo;After all, you did start this.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Race</title><link>/stories/2014/10/10/the-race/</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/10/10/the-race/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is fantastic!&amp;rdquo; Kendell James stared around her at the huge rooms of her friend&amp;rsquo;s new house. Beside her, Stacey Morris smiled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;ll look even better once it&amp;rsquo;s furnished,&amp;rdquo; she replied. &amp;ldquo;As it is, it&amp;rsquo;s perfect for what I have in mind for today. Come with me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Curious, Kendell followed Stacey through the large rooms, watching as her friend closed some doors, while making sure others stood open. Finally, they stood in one of the upstairs bedrooms.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Drinkin'</title><link>/stories/2014/10/08/a-drinkin/</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/10/08/a-drinkin/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dan Westgate opened bleary eyes and gazed fuzzily around. A feeling that something wasn&amp;rsquo;t quite right had brought him out of sleep, but the room looked just as it always did when he woke on Saturday morning after a night out with friends. Shrugging off the vague feeling, he made to rise, only to find out that not everything was just as it usually was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still groggy with sleep and the after effects of a night of drinking, he struggled to figure out what was different. First, he lay in the center of the bed, arms stretched out over his head. Not a position he usually slept in, but now, for some reason, he couldn&amp;rsquo;t move from that position. Also, his mouth felt strangely dry, as if it were packed with cotton, and he couldn&amp;rsquo;t close it. Slowly, his mind cleared, bringing details into sharper focus.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Experiment 4</title><link>/stories/2014/09/22/the-experiment-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/09/22/the-experiment-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="theexperiment3.html"&gt;part three&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What I don&amp;rsquo;t understand is, why do you insist on controlling production?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Selena Warren sighed, glancing around her. Behind her stood Jeremy Wilkes, her former assistant, now full partner as well as lover. After locking gazes with him for a moment, she turned back to the speaker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Major Simmons,&amp;rdquo; she replied, &amp;ldquo;this process is, as you say, extremely useful, with an array of possibilities that almost stagger the mind. Unfortunately, the possibilities for misuse are nearly as great. I will not allow my discovery to be used improperly. I&amp;rsquo;m sorry, but my terms are not open to negotiation. I will, with proper funding, produce and install my discovery as needed for the space program. I will not, under any circumstances, give over the process to the military for open use.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Breast Man</title><link>/stories/2014/09/09/breast-man/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/09/09/breast-man/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You, Sir, are a pig.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ben Greene grinned. At the ripe age of thirty, he&amp;rsquo;d heard it all, many times over. Women who displayed their most obvious charms, and then insulted him for expressing an honest appreciation for those charms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ben, by his own admission, was a breast man. He loved the way a woman&amp;rsquo;s breasts moved, especially the big ones. Of course, there were some who said he made his love known far too directly, his obvious stares and crude remarks being deemed offensive by many women. Not that he cared. He could accept the worst of insults from women who, for reasons he couldn&amp;rsquo;t begin to fathom, found his actions offensive.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Experiment 3</title><link>/stories/2014/09/06/the-experiment-3/</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/09/06/the-experiment-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="theexperiment2.html"&gt;part two&lt;/a&gt;
Part 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Selena Warren frowned at the paper in her hand. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t believe this.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeremy Wilkes, Selena&amp;rsquo;s assistant and lover, glanced up from his work. &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s wrong?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;They&amp;rsquo;re buying out my lease on this property,&amp;rdquo; Selena replied, glancing around the converted factory she&amp;rsquo;d called both home and lab since her latest project had begun. &amp;ldquo;I now have the choice of paying full market value, or forfeiting the building and all contents.

It was the perfect story. For a while.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, by the time their only child, a daughter, turned nineteen, the shine seemed to have worn off this golden marriage. Though successful, the two were anything but happy, and their frequent arguments very nearly became their only contact. Finally, in desperation, their daughter Lacy turned to her boyfriend, nearly begging him to use his special skills to help her bring her parents back together.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Trashed</title><link>/stories/2014/09/01/trashed/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/09/01/trashed/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Winona turned and posed in front of her mirror, grinning with delight. Oh, it was perfect! After all the money to buy, and the seemingly endless wait for it to be delivered, it was exactly what she&amp;rsquo;d hoped for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rdquo; was a brand new top. Made of gleaming black super-stretch spandex, the tight material hugged her generous curves all the way down to her hips. It was a special design, with long sleeves and high neckline, almost a turtleneck in fact. With its thin cloth and super tight fit, the top was a second skin, faithfully outlining every slightest curve, from the slight indentation of her naval to the protrusions of her hard nipples. With the addition of her favorite leather collar, now locked securely in place, her upper half had been transformed into a shiny black statement of female sensuality.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Experiment 2</title><link>/stories/2014/08/26/the-experiment-2/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/26/the-experiment-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="theexperiment.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;
Part 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the grace and skill of long practice, Jordan slipped through the large building. Earlier, she&amp;rsquo;d heard voices in the room she now approached, but they&amp;rsquo;d seemed to move off, leaving her target area silent and inviting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To those in the know, Jordan McNair was the &amp;lsquo;go to&amp;rsquo; girl for scientific espionage. During her career, she&amp;rsquo;d made her way into some of the most secure labs in the world, so getting into this old converted factory had been child&amp;rsquo;s play. Now all that remained was to find the information she&amp;rsquo;d been so well paid to retrieve.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Legends</title><link>/stories/2014/08/20/legends/</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/20/legends/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Know, oh Queen, that, with the ascension of Zarela to the throne, a period of darkness descended upon the land. Unlike her mother, who prized learning, Zarela worshipped the flesh. Philosophers, teachers, any who supported free thought, were arrested on the flimsiest of reasons, if any reason at all were given. These were put to the harshest of labors. Many collapsed under the harsh treatment. Those who did were quickly taken away, never to be seen again.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Experiment</title><link>/stories/2014/08/13/the-experiment/</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/13/the-experiment/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ok, so it&amp;rsquo;s new and it&amp;rsquo;s interesting. But does it actually have any practical use?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Selena Warren frowned, turning to glance at her assistant, Jeremy Wilkes. &amp;ldquo;Of course it does,&amp;rdquo; she replied. In theory, we could revolutionize the toy industry, among other things. And we know it works. All we need to do now is test it to make sure it&amp;rsquo;s safe.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeremy nodded. &amp;ldquo;So,&amp;rdquo; he remarked, &amp;ldquo;another late night. Half your funding is going to go on overtime. Anyway, I need to run to town and pick up those new computer components. I shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be gone more than an hour or two.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Host</title><link>/stories/2014/08/11/the-host/</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/11/the-host/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Walker couldn&amp;rsquo;t believe his luck. With multiple convictions for assault, rape and murder, the best he could have hoped for was life in prison filing an endless series of appeals to hold off the inevitable death sentance. Then, amazingly, he&amp;rsquo;d been taken from his cell and sent here. The army, he&amp;rsquo;d been told, needed his help, and the court had agreed to commute his sentance. All he had to do was help the army for a few years, and he&amp;rsquo;d be a free man. It was unbelievable.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Perceptions</title><link>/stories/2014/07/10/perceptions/</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/07/10/perceptions/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;When you start this story, you may feel like discarding it immediately.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You wanted to see me, Sir?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Have a seat, detective.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Settling into her seat, Detective Rebecca Santos watched as Captain Murdoch thumbed a button on his desk, bringing to life the large screen on the wall. At the sight the screen displayed, her eyes widened.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jess' Camping Adventure</title><link>/stories/2014/07/04/jess-camping-adventure/</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/07/04/jess-camping-adventure/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ready for some more magic?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jess grinned. The last time Dale had practiced his magic on her, the orgasms she&amp;rsquo;d received had been amazing. Now, faced with the idea of another of his seemingly endless array of magical talents, she nodded eagerly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ok, this one requires you to be naked.&amp;rdquo; Hearing this, Jess lost no time stripping off her clothes. Naked, she turned slowly in front of him, knowing full well how much he enjoyed the sight of her body.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stephen</title><link>/stories/2014/07/04/stephen/</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/07/04/stephen/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I have an idea.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, Master?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stephen grinned at the look of barely repressed apprehension on the woman&amp;rsquo;s face. In the past year and a half, since that amazing day he&amp;rsquo;d realized that, not only were genies real, but he now had control of one, he&amp;rsquo;d been exploring all the possibilities her magic could create. Of course, he&amp;rsquo;d dealt with the obvious first, commanding her to make him incredibly rich. He now lived in a palatial mansion, drove the most expensive cars, ate only the finest cuisine. Those, of course, had only been for starters.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tasha</title><link>/stories/2014/06/30/tasha/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/06/30/tasha/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Softly humming a favorite tune, Walter Goodman strode slowly across his back yard. A tall, slim man in his late forties, Walt was well known in the small town for his quiet, friendly ways. He was equally well known for his steely will.

Today, he was on his way to visit his newest friend.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sophira 3</title><link>/stories/2014/06/16/sophira-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/06/16/sophira-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="sophira2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sophira 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You want me to do what?” At the anger in the young Queen’s voice, the two with her stepped back slightly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Your Majesty,” said the woman facing her, “please try to understand. We have to sneak you into the city. Duke Korza’s men will no doubt be watching every gate.” The woman paused. “Sophira,” she finally said, “trust us.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sophira gazed at the other woman, her glare softening slightly. “Jenna,” she replied, “I would trust you with my life. But I thought we were trying to put me back on the throne. How can entering the city as a slave do that?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Proper Dress</title><link>/stories/2014/05/11/proper-dress/</link><pubDate>Sun, 11 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/05/11/proper-dress/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Today’s subject, dear readers, is the proper way to dress for a business meeting.

Ironic because Dr. Skye, as she was also known, was a leading expert in meteorology. She was also well known in meteorological circles as the designer of the newest generation of weather balloons. Especially ironic now, considering her situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sapphire woke slowly, her mind still foggy with sleep. Fuzzily, she remembered being in her lab, preparing for a test release. The space boys needed information about air currents over their launch sites, stating a concern for the effects of wind speed on launch trajectory. Sapphire had thus planned a timed series of releases, in order to gauge how upper atmospheric wind speeds changed during the day. Her last clear memory had been of inspecting the final balloon prior to launching the first.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sandy’s Bondage Adventures 2</title><link>/stories/2014/05/04/sandys-bondage-adventures-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/05/04/sandys-bondage-adventures-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="sandysbondageadventures.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;There. How&amp;rsquo;s that?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, Sandy simply gazed up at Caroline, wishing she could actually reply to that question. Instead, she could only glare at her friend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seemed only moments since Caroline had found her, helpless in a self bondage session gone seriously wrong. In those moments, Caroline had taken it upon herself to, as she said, &amp;ldquo;improve your situation.&amp;rdquo; Sandy snorted to herself. This was an improvement?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Pair Of Lais</title><link>/stories/2014/04/25/a-pair-of-lais/</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/04/25/a-pair-of-lais/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;She was, in every possible way, the perfect Asian woman.

She even spoke with the perfect accent. In short, she had everything she needed to be his perfect woman, with one exception. She didn&amp;rsquo;t have him, didn&amp;rsquo;t really seem to want him.

What&amp;rsquo;re you doing out here, man?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad turned from the balcony railing, where he&amp;rsquo;d been staring out into the night. &amp;ldquo;Hey, Jim,&amp;rdquo; he replied. &amp;ldquo;Just getting another look at the bay. It&amp;rsquo;s so beautiful here, I wish I didn&amp;rsquo;t have to leave.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;ll be back.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad shook his head slowly. As a low level clerk back home, it had taken him nearly two years to save up for this vacation. It hadn&amp;rsquo;t been easy this time, and with the economy seemingly determined to slide to new depths, he saw little chance of a repeat.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Akara</title><link>/stories/2014/04/15/akara/</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/04/15/akara/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“My Lord Aloric?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man named Aloric glanced up from his desk. “Yes?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My Lord, we have the item you purchased.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aloric smiled. “Very good. Bring her in.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nodding, the man backed from the room, only to return a moment later with another. Between them, they carried a bundle that squirmed and grunted in their grasp. Once inside the door, they set the squirming bundle on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“On her feet, if you please.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sandy’s Bondage Adventures</title><link>/stories/2014/04/07/sandys-bondage-adventures/</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/04/07/sandys-bondage-adventures/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It had been a long week, but, finally, the weekend had arrived. Time to put her plans into action. Smiling at the thought, Sandy let herself into her apartment, locking the door behind her. Moving to the kitchen, she checked the first item.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, she had taken a pair of 2 liter soda bottles and cut the bottoms off of both. After forcing the open bottom of one bottle slightly into the other, she had used glue and waterproof tape to form a hopefully water tight seal. Next, she had taken a length of rope, cutting into the center until only a few strands remained. The rope was fed through the joined bottles until the cut section was in the center. Using wax and more tape, she had sealed one end, then filled the bottles with water. More wax and tape sealed the other end, and the whole thing was put into the freezer.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Reasons</title><link>/stories/2014/04/06/reasons/</link><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/04/06/reasons/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“I’ll do anything you want. Just let me please you.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack Briscoe glanced curiously at the woman staring at him with large eyes. Kristin, as she’d introduced herself, had started hitting on him nearly as soon as he’d entered this club. Each offer had been a little more explicit, until this last, open invitation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why?” To Jack, it seemed a logical question. After all, why would such an attractive woman go to such lengths to seduce a man nearly twice her age? Jack was honest enough with himself to know he’d never win any prizes for looks, though he wasn’t exactly ugly either. Kristin’s seeming determination to woo him was, therefore, puzzling.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ian's Revenge</title><link>/stories/2014/03/21/ians-revenge/</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/03/21/ians-revenge/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Mary Rourke returned the phone to its cradle with a frown. None of the others were answering their phones, and the silence was beginning to worry her. Especially since tonight was to be the celebration of their latest coup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Rainbow of Dreams, that’s what they called themselves. Stacy Brown, the lawyer who knew every trick, every loophole. Brenda Marshall, the accountant who could make any number do whatever she chose. Marla Freemont, the high official with the city’s Commerce Department, with her myriad contacts in local, state and federal government. And Mary, the seductress, head an array of businesses geared toward man’s baser instincts.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Characters</title><link>/stories/2014/02/03/characters/</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/02/03/characters/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Justin opened his eyes slowly, silently staring up at his ceiling. Vaguely, his sleep-fogged mind became aware of something, causing him to wonder why he couldn’t move.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I bet you’re wondering why you can’t move right about now.” Startled by the sudden voice, Justin glanced around, catching sight of a statuesque redhead standing beside the bed. Luminous green eyes watched him, while a cold smile played on full, sensuous lips.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Wrong Target</title><link>/stories/2014/02/02/wrong-target/</link><pubDate>Sun, 02 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/02/02/wrong-target/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Frederick leaned back with a thoughtful frown. Not too shabby, he thought. I may have to keep this one for a while.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Casually, he checked the ropes binding the woman’s ankles to the rear legs of his armchair. More ropes stretched from her wrists to the chair’s front legs, holding her bent across the chair’s back. Duct tape covered the woman’s mouth, while a cheap looking sleep mask covered her eyes.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Willing Soul</title><link>/stories/2014/01/24/a-willing-soul/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/01/24/a-willing-soul/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Liam woke slowly to find himself sprawled on his bed, with no clear idea of how he’d arrived there. His last clear memory was sitting at the dinner table, listening as Mia gently chided him for working too hard. He remembered gazing into her lovely eyes, seeing the earnest expression they held. Then things began to get fuzzy. Evidently, he’d fallen asleep, and Mia had somehow carried him to his bed.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cedric Returns...

&lt;p&gt;Miranda glanced up from the page she was reading. “Out? Why would you want to go out?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Because I haven’t been out in ages.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What about your studies?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Finished.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miranda’s eyes widened slightly. “Already?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mother, I’ve been reading that dusty old book forever.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miranda smiled. “Not quite, dear.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well, it seems like it. Mother, I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m going crazy stuck here.

For nearly an hour now, she’d struggled uselessly against the bonds that held her. Hands bound behind her, ankles bound together, she was further immobilized by a length of rope securing her ankles to one leg of the couch. Her mouth, packed full with a large scarf, which was held in place by a second scarf bound around her head, muffled any sound she tried to make. Still, she did try, soft, unintelligible sounds emerging as the front door opened.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Part Of The Company</title><link>/stories/2013/12/30/part-of-the-company/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/12/30/part-of-the-company/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“But you can’t just shut us down!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patricia Lakemont glanced around her and shrugged. “Oh? And why is that?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Because,” Geoffrey Sutton replied slowly, “Sutton Cord &amp;amp; Cable has been here for nearly a hundred and fifty years now. Our cables have been used on nearly every bridge in the area.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Bridges,” Patricia pointed out, “that are steadily being replaced by newer models that don’t require cables.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Still,” Geoffrey argued, “that’s no reason to shut us down. We can retool for other work. Besides, we’re one of the largest employers in this town. Some very good workers will lose their only livelihood if you close this plant.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Slight Recalculation</title><link>/stories/2013/12/29/a-slight-recalculation/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/12/29/a-slight-recalculation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="slightmiscalculation.html"&gt;A Slight Miscalculation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marc Reilly closed the door and leaned against it with a sigh. It was days like this, he thought, that bothered him the most. One of the companies he held a major interest in, hard hit by the economic slump, was facing serious problems. An emergency meeting of the board had been called, which Marc had to attend. At the meeting, despite his best efforts to come up with an alternative, it had finally been decided that downsizing was the only way to keep the company solvent. Marc sighed again, thinking about the people about to lose their jobs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bryan's Story</title><link>/stories/2013/12/19/bryans-story/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/12/19/bryans-story/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It had all started with a sample.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bryan Adcock, young heir to the Adcock Mining fortune, had received a sample of an unknown substance discovered in one of the company’s asteroid mines. On a whim, he’d placed the sample on the examination plate of his DNA scanner. But when he turned on the power, the sample had vanished, and now the scanner refused to work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a sigh, he gazed around the room. Terry, his guardian, would be furious with him for breaking the scanner. Of course, Terry was furious at anything Bryan did that cost money. You’d almost think the money was Terry’s instead of Bryan’s.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Maria's Punishment</title><link>/stories/2013/11/26/marias-punishment/</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/11/26/marias-punishment/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Could you come in here a minute, hon?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Be right there,” Maria replied absently, her eyes locked onto her computer screen. She loved jigsaw puzzles, but sometimes they could frustrate a saint. Like now. There was one piece that, no matter how hard she looked, simply was not there. Could a computer puzzle lose pieces?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That one? No. How bout that one? Dang!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Are you coming, hon?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“On my way.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The House</title><link>/stories/2013/10/31/the-house/</link><pubDate>Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/10/31/the-house/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Hello, dear.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smiling, Mellisandra gazed down at the woman struggling on the floor. Tight leather straps encircled the woman’s body at regular intervals from shoulders to ankles, while a leather panel covered her mouth. Altogether, Mellisandra thought, a most appealing sight. Still, much as she enjoyed the view, it was time to get things moving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“House, let her talk.” Immediately, the gag vanished from the bound woman’s mouth. For a moment, the woman’s jaws worked silently before she found her voice.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Judy's Journey</title><link>/stories/2013/10/18/judys-journey/</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/10/18/judys-journey/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“The key,” Judy said, “is the hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marcy leaned back, gazing curiously at her friend. “How do you figure that?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Judy shook her head in amazement. How could Marcy claim to be an expert in bondage and not know that simple fact? “Because,” she explained, “once the hands are free, they can be used to free the rest of the body. So once the hands are free, it’s just a matter of time.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Do Unto Others</title><link>/stories/2013/10/05/do-unto-others/</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/10/05/do-unto-others/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Crack!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Please, Master, no more!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crack!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Master, please, it’s too much”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crack!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Master, please, I beg of you.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edmond paused, arm raised over his head. “You what?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I beg of you, Master.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edmond gazed down at the woman kneeling before him, eyes showing nothing as they took in the bloody lines across her back, lines caused by the whip in his hand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Beg of me?” he asked incredulously. “Beg of me? Who even says that any more? Who…. oh, damn you, reset.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Djinn</title><link>/stories/2013/09/16/djinn/</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/09/16/djinn/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In a large, smoky cavern, a strange meeting was taking place. The cavern, lit only by torches, seemed to stretch forever, any sign of walls or ceiling lost within the surrounding darkness. The torches, set on poles, lighted only a small circle of the floor. Within that circle, set back into the shadows nearly at the edge of complete darkness, sat a curved row of seven throne like chairs. Their occupants, four male, three female, gazed silently at the two who stood in the center of the circle.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ship's Log</title><link>/stories/2013/09/12/ships-log/</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/09/12/ships-log/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Captain’s log, March 3, 2278. Ship’s time, 1300 hours. We’ve just left Space Station L17, and it’s good to be back into space and out of those clothes. I can’t see how anyone can stand to have anything covering their bodies, but maybe I’ve been alone in space too long.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Slave is down in the hold, making sure our cargo is secure. Once done there, she’ll be working to repair a glitch that’s developed in the computer terminal in my quarters. For now, I have no choice but to make this entry sitting at the helm station. Once she’s finished with that, I’ll be settling her in here for the duration of the voyage, thanks to the new items I had installed during our overhaul.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Brenda Part 2</title><link>/stories/2013/09/07/brenda-part-2/</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/09/07/brenda-part-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="brenda.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brenda&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“How much longer?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Almost finished, Mistress.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well, hurry it up. I have a nice surprise for you.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, Mistress.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As he scrubbed at the remaining section of floor, Brian considered his situation. It was, he knew, his own fault that he now knelt naked in the kitchen of his former lover, now turned Mistress. As usual, his thoughts turned to how he came to be here, as well as how to fix what he’d done wrong.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cedric</title><link>/stories/2013/09/07/cedric/</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/09/07/cedric/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Why is it, Cedric wondered, settling back onto his throne-like chair, that everyone, from the lowest peasant to the highest noble, seemed to think their private problems were worthy of the king’s personal resolution? Not exactly an idle thought, since he did happen to be king, and he did get large numbers of audience requests. However, being a practical king, he’d quickly found a way to turn this to his advantage. He’d decided to delegate.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Wardrobe</title><link>/stories/2013/09/02/the-wardrobe/</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/09/02/the-wardrobe/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;There were those who considered Brad Wills to be a genius. Among those few who really knew him, the general consensus was that he made most geniuses look stupid. As a teenager, Brad had pioneered the field of sub-atomic manipulation. The ability to break any matter down into sub-atomic particles, and then reassemble those particles in any way, allowed mankind to finally rid itself of the one problem nobody had ever before found a solution to. Namely, trash. All human waste was now broken down, then recombined into useful items. It did generate jokes about this week’s newspaper being made of last week’s supper, but, in general, it was a useful and very well received bit of technology.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>His Fondest Desire</title><link>/stories/2013/08/26/his-fondest-desire/</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/08/26/his-fondest-desire/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“James Roderick, rise and face the court.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving slowly, the man in prison denim rose, the chains on his cuffs clanking. A tall, well built man, he stood facing the judge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“James Roderick, you stand before us today accused of multiple counts of rape. Before I pronounce my verdict, do you have anything to say?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The prisoner smirked. “I say to hell with you. I didn’t do anything to any woman that she didn’t secretly want. All women are sluts. They’ll take sex any time, any place, and any way it’s offered. I just happen to be man enough to give them what they really want. So judge me and be damned.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hostile Takeover</title><link>/stories/2013/08/15/hostile-takeover/</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/08/15/hostile-takeover/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Patricia Beeman was smiling as she entered the Nanfinity Industries main offices. As well she might. Finally, after years of fighting, her goal was at last within reach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone watching her as she walked through the lobby would have seen an attractive woman in her mid-30’s. With her long blonde hair, blue eyes, and curves only hinted at beneath her smart business suit, Patricia would have seemed quite at home on any swimsuit or Playboy pictorial. Few would have guessed that she was actually head of the Beeman Corporation, a huge conglomerate specializing in cutting edge weapon design.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Helen's Journey 4: Final Lesson</title><link>/stories/2013/07/17/helens-journey-4-final-lesson/</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/07/17/helens-journey-4-final-lesson/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="helensjourney3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Helen&amp;rsquo;s Journey 3: More Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 4: Final Lesson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bradley Scott’s eyes widened slightly as Helen Adler entered his room. On her previous visits, Helen had worn what looked like the same baggy sweat outfit, as if to hide her body from view. Understandable, in his mind, considering what she’d been through.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Do you like?” she asked with a nervous smile, the hem of her dress brushing the floor as she turned slowly.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Interactive</title><link>/stories/2013/06/15/interactive/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/06/15/interactive/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;With a soft sigh, Bianca tossed her towel aside and settled into her computer chair.  The shower had felt good, but now she had the rest of the evening to deal with.   Briefly, she considered dressing, then shrugged the thought away.  After all, who was going to see her anyway?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking for something do pass the time, she went to google and typed in “magic” to see what might come up.  Boredly, she scanned through the listings.  Then, near the bottom of the fifth page, she saw something called Magic Interactive Screensaver.  Intrigued, she clicked.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 9</title><link>/stories/2013/05/01/billy-9/</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/05/01/billy-9/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy8.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 9&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Comfy?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billie nodded. Not that it mattered, really. Laying on the motel room’s floor, her arms bound securely to her sides, her feet spread and tied to the bed’s legs, she was going nowhere soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Experimentally, she tugged at her bonds, but soon gave up. As usual, Jackie had done a thorough job. A strap around her body at wrist level, as well as straps above and below her elbows, kept her arms pinned securely to her sides. The ropes around her ankles were just as secure, holding her with her legs helplessly spread, her pussy open and vulnerable. No, she decided, she wasn’t going anywhere until Jackie released her.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bondage Fan</title><link>/stories/2013/04/19/bondage-fan/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/04/19/bondage-fan/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Finally!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a sigh, Martha closed her door and leaned up against it. The day had seemed nearly endless, but now it was over, and the weekend was ready to begin. A four day weekend, thanks to a couple of vacation days she’d used. More than enough time, she figured, to thoroughly enjoy what she had in mind for herself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving quickly, she changed into a set of comfortable sweats, then stepped into the spare bedroom. Since the majority of her rare guests shared her bed, with the remainder sleeping on the couch, she’d long since converted this room into her own private playroom. She’d spent many enjoyable days here, and expected the coming weekend to be just as much fun. But first, she had to put her newest idea together.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Computer Glitch</title><link>/stories/2013/04/16/computer-glitch/</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/04/16/computer-glitch/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Damage report!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Science officer Ronald Woods glanced up from his console. “Minimal damage, Captain,” he reported. “Only one hit, and it doesn’t appear to have done any damage. However, that one hit did strike near where our computer lies closest to the hull. I would like to run a complete diagnostic to ensure the computer is undamaged.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Captain Rebecca James glanced over her shoulder. “How long will that take?”&lt;/p&gt;

He wanted nothing more than to get started immediately, but there were final preparations to be made.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, he took a long, relaxing bath, then enjoyed a light breakfast. A trip to the bathroom followed, to make sure he wouldn’t need to go any time soon. Next, he called Brandy, his safety net, and invited her over for dinner. Brandy was a good friend, and he genuinely enjoyed their time together, but he had never quite worked up the nerve to tell her exactly why he invited her over so much.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Carly</title><link>/stories/2013/01/28/carly/</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/01/28/carly/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Just my luck, thought Alex, watching Jay’s car pull away. First chance we’ve had lately for a weekend of X-Box, and his back starts acting up. With a resigned shrug, he turned and entered the house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Alex?” Pausing on the stairs, Alex glanced into the living room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What’s up Joe?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You might not want to go up there quite yet,” his brother said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“How did this happen?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know, Sir. All I can say for sure right now is that the locks weren’t opened with a key. From the interior scraping, I’d say they were picked.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“But if the locks were picked, why pry one of the plates loose?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It wasn’t pried, Sir. From the minute deformations in the chain, ring, and lock, I’d say it was pulled loose. How, I have no idea.

&lt;p&gt;As he approached, however, he began to realize that something wasn’t quite right.  Other than the waving of flags, all was unusually still for the beginning of a battle.  Frowning, he picked up his pace slightly.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Andrea</title><link>/stories/2013/01/11/andrea/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/01/11/andrea/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;She woke slowly, her mind climbing with grudging effort toward consciousness. As awareness grew, she slowly became aware of the fact that, for some strange reason, she couldn’t move.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sluggishly, then with increasing effort, she struggled, but it soon became evident that movement of any kind was impossible. It was as if she lay immersed in something soft, smooth, something that touched every inch of her body, gently but firmly refusing to allow even the slightest movement. Not even her mouth could move, not even her lips, she discovered, allowing nothing but muffled hums to emerge, no matter how loudly she tried to scream.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Freshness Guaranteed</title><link>/stories/2013/01/11/freshness-guaranteed/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/01/11/freshness-guaranteed/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Welcome aboard, Miss….?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“As you wish. If you will follow me, the captain has instructed me to show you how we process our merchandise. This way, please.”&lt;/p&gt;

She could feel blood trickling down from her forehead, feel more trickling down her right leg. Shaking her head in a vain attempt to clear blurred vision, she asked herself what had just happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was supposed to be a routine inspection tour of her newest hospital. Well, not exactly new, just new to her. Apparently, all of the facilities of her newest purchase were old, worn, and badly in need of repair. Including, it seemed, the boiler.
She had just turned away from the boiler room, her mind already working on ways she could upgrade things here with a minimum of expense, when a sound made her turn. She saw a flash, and the next thing she knew, she was staggering along the hall.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Perfect Party Costumes</title><link>/stories/2012/10/30/the-perfect-party-costumes/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/10/30/the-perfect-party-costumes/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“You guys are gonna love this.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kyle glanced at his friend doubtfully. He was a great teammate, but his ideas sometimes caused more than a little trouble. Shrugging, he decided to go along, at least till he saw what he was in for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As usual, the three friends drew quite a bit of interest, which Kyle had learned to accept as a matter of course. Together, they’d become known in this small university town as Triple K. Kyle, Kurt, and Karl. Quarterback, halfback and wide receiver, respectively, and the main reason their small school seemed destined to make the playoffs this year. Which, in this town, made them celebrities of no small order.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>See or Be</title><link>/stories/2012/10/22/see-or-be/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/10/22/see-or-be/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Alone in the room, the naked blonde lay silently on the bed. The rising and shifting of her large breasts was the only motion, while the only sound the nearly silent hiss of air through her nostrils. Earlier, she had struggled against the bonds that held her spread eagle on the bed, grunting into the leather panel that covered her mouth. Now, resigned to her own helplessness, she lay silent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Best Laid Plans</title><link>/stories/2012/09/07/best-laid-plans/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/09/07/best-laid-plans/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The room was small and sparsely furnished, containing only a cot and a sturdy chair. Near the door lay a small heap of cloth. Light from a single overhead fixture shone on the sole occupant, a nude Asian woman who lay silently on the cot. The woman’s eyes were wide with fear, yet her body lay limp, motionless. Soft moans occasionally slipped from slightly parted lips.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Silently, the door opened. In stepped a stooped, aged figure. “Hello, Mary,” the figure said in a rasping voice. “I’m Jason Murdoch. Get used to the name, my dear. You’ll have years to familiarize yourself with the rest.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Brandon's Final Command</title><link>/stories/2012/09/07/brandons-final-command/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/09/07/brandons-final-command/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Brandon James had it made.  Not only was he a successful businessman.  Not only was he rich and powerful.  Not only did he have men of wealth and influence from all over the world seeking his services, while beautiful women competed just to be seen with him.  Not only did he have all these things.  He also had something that, as far as he knew, nobody else had, something that would make sure he kept all those other things.  In short, Brandon James had his very own genie.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Perfect Dildo</title><link>/stories/2012/08/24/perfect-dildo/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/24/perfect-dildo/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Welcome.

&lt;p&gt;Mistress Erica entered the room slowly, her eyes showing a mixture of suspicion and curiosity as she gazed at the five women awaiting her. Mistresses all, her peers and competitors, they, along with her and a few others, represented the true power in the city’s BDSM community. One by one, she examined them, looking for some clue as to the reason for this unexpected gathering.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rrafnop</title><link>/stories/2012/08/22/rrafnop/</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/22/rrafnop/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Lieutenant Daniels, please report to the bridge immediately.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sighing, John Daniels rose from his bunk and slipped into his uniform shirt. Turning, he stepped through the door separating the sleeping quarters from the bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Commander, why bother to use the intercom?” Daniels knew the question was useless, but felt compelled to ask it anyway. “Why not just holler?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commander T’Serra glanced toward him, one elegant eyebrow rising slightly. “’Hollering’,” she said in her even tones, “is neither proper procedure, nor is it a logical method of communication. We are approaching out destination. Please take your station.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Matter of Trust 2</title><link>/stories/2012/08/11/a-matter-of-trust-2/</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/08/11/a-matter-of-trust-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="matteroftrust.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Matter of Trust&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lying naked and helpless in the trunk of her own car, Maria struggled fitfully against her bonds, all the while knowing her struggles were useless.  The leather cuffs encircling her wrists and ankles were securely connected, allowing her very limited movement.  The gag filling her mouth limited her to unintelligible grunts.  The blindfold covering her eyes blocked all sight, which didn’t really matter at the moment, considering she wouldn’t have been able to see in this dark place anyway.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Oops!</title><link>/stories/2012/07/01/oops/</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/07/01/oops/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Stella Murdoch knew it was going to be one of “those” weekends when she woke on Saturday morning to the realization that her breasts were gone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, a discovery like this would normally be the cause of at least a little bit of hysteria, but the party the night before had been a major blast, and Stella was still more than a bit hazy in the thinking department. So, instead of jumping up and screaming, as she might normally have done, Stella simply laid in bed, her hands exploring the flat area that had, just the night before, housed a pair of firm, medium sized breasts. Absently, she wondered how one might go about reporting such a loss:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>First-Hand History 2</title><link>/stories/2012/04/29/first-hand-history-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/04/29/first-hand-history-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continued from &lt;a href="firsthandhistory.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ok, looks good. Fan out in pairs and get started. I’ll watch for sentries.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nodding, the others fanned out silently. Watching them go, Melissa Roberts sighed with relief. On her first, nearly disastrous, trip to Egypt’s past, she’d come alone. This time, she’d brought a team. This meant support, even if it did require a certain loss of modesty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glancing down at herself, Melissa shook her head ruefully. In the interest of speed and security, it had been decided to send the team together all at once. With such a large send, the power demand was very nearly at the limits of the system, so in order to reduce demand, the team had been allowed nothing that would increase the mass of the send. Unfortunately, this included clothing. Basically, the entire team had arrived at their destination totally naked.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Day at the Office</title><link>/stories/2012/04/15/a-day-at-the-office/</link><pubDate>Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/04/15/a-day-at-the-office/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“And what,” Sara asked, “is that?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Grinning, Scott held up what looked like a thick-walled tube with fleshy flanges on each end. “This,” he said proudly, “is my newest invention.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What exactly does it do? And remember, I have to leave for work soon, so keep it short, please.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This little gem,” Scott replied, “is about to make your day very interesting.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sara sighed. She loved Scott with all her heart, but some of his ideas were, to put it mildly, crazy. Still, she knew she couldn’t tell him no.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Voodoo 4</title><link>/stories/2012/04/05/voodoo-4/</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/04/05/voodoo-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="voodoo3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voodoo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Four&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alone in the room, she gazed out the window, watching the people outside. Through the headphones covering her ears, she could hear the music, as well as the sound of conversation. She wished she could join them, move among them, talk to them. Instead, she stood stiffly, the rise and fall of her breasts with her labored breathing the only visible movement, other than the occasional twitch.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Intermediary</title><link>/stories/2012/03/23/intermediary/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/03/23/intermediary/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was a match made in heaven. Or, in this case, Hollywood. Shawn was tall, handsome, muscular, with starring roles in nearly a dozen action films to his credit. Stacy was almost universally considered the most beautiful woman on film. After their first pairing, the two quickly became inseparable, starring together in one blockbuster after another. Their off camera chemistry was just as intense, with rumors of marriage making regular rounds. As a couple, it seemed they had it all. Until……&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Candice Part 3</title><link>/stories/2012/03/01/candice-part-3/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/03/01/candice-part-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="candice2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candice Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Comfy?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Squirming slightly in anticipation, Candice nodded, watching as Mistress Karen made final adjustments to her bondage. Lying spread eagle in the center of the bed, her wrists and ankles held by ropes attached to the corner posts, Candice smiled into her gag, eagerly awaiting whatever Mistress had in mind for her naked body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To her surprise, Mistress Karen rose from the bed and turned toward the door. “Have fun,” she said lightly, before leaving the room. Puzzled, Candice watched as Dana slipped through the door closing it behind her.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Differences 2</title><link>/stories/2012/01/30/differences-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/01/30/differences-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="differences.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Differences&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“That will be all, Bobby.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress. Same time next week, Mistress?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Make an appointment with the receptionist. When she‘s finished with you, tell her I want to see her in my office.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, Mistress. Good day, Mistress.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jewel watched as her latest client moved toward the door. To the outside world, he was Robert Sykes III, owner and CEO of a major corporation. In this room, he was simply Bobby. He was one of her oldest clients, and paid quite well for her services.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mary's Revelation 4</title><link>/stories/2012/01/30/marys-revelation-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/01/30/marys-revelation-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="marys_revelation3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mary&amp;rsquo;s Revelation 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Mary?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mmmmmmm.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mary?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reluctantly, Mary Jenkins’ eyes fluttered open. Absently, she gazed at the woman watching her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Oh, Gail. What can I do for you?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a quizzical look, Gail laid a thick bundle of paper on the desk. “The collated reports from the last series of tests,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ok, good. “I’ll look at them in a minute.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, Gail watched her silently. “Mary,” she finally said, “maybe you should take a nap or something. You look beat. Why do you have to push yourself so hard?” Gail shrugged. “Maybe it’s a good thing we’re almost done. After today, we’ll be on our way home. Maybe then you can rest.” Turning, she strode away.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rick &amp; Mike Part 2</title><link>/stories/2012/01/22/rick-mike-part-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/01/22/rick-mike-part-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="rick_mike.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rick &amp;amp; Mike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plans? Sprawled limply on his bed, Rick had to wonder what lay behind that word. After all, in the past hour, he had seen his best friend, his male best friend, become a beautiful Asian girl. He had then been changed into an equally beautiful blonde girl. He had played with his new breasts, fingered himself, and finally, engaged in a 69 session that had left his new female body totally limp. What else was there?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Understanding Part 2</title><link>/stories/2012/01/22/understanding-part-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/01/22/understanding-part-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="understanding.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understanding&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entering his kitchen, Brad James stared at the sight of himself standing at the stove. He wasn’t surprised to see Jenny, his daughter, in his body, not after yesterday. But the sight of himself wearing a bright flowered robe that barely covered his thighs just didn’t seem right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As if sensing his thoughts, Jenny turned. Seeing him, she blushed vividly. “You were in bed,” she said, a bit lamely, “and I didn’t have anything else of yours to wear.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Road Trip from Hell</title><link>/stories/2012/01/10/road-trip-from-hell/</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/01/10/road-trip-from-hell/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Where have you been?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stacey Burke hardly paused as she swept through the living room. “Oh,” she said offhandedly, “you know, out.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jason Walker frowned. “Out on another of your road trips, I’d say, judging from the way you’re dressed.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stacey glanced down at her skin tight, electric blue shorts and skimpy blue halter. “What’s wrong with the way I’m dressed? It covers the essentials.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Barely. And only if you don’t move.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>One Night</title><link>/stories/2011/12/20/one-night/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/20/one-night/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Mary,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As promised, here is a complete report on my first serious night with Robert. I hope you enjoy reading it, though I know you won’t enjoy half as much as I did, experiencing it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We met at Shay’s. You know, that fancy restaurant downtown, with the dim lights. Remember how we used to joke about the place, saying they should be able to pay for decent lights, with the prices they charge? Well, the lights were just as dim, and the prices just as high, as ever.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Releasing the Beast</title><link>/stories/2011/12/20/releasing-the-beast/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/20/releasing-the-beast/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;AUTHOR’S NOTE: Over the years, I’ve read about, heard about, and experienced a rather strange phenomena. Many stories about submission include mention of increased sensitivity on the part of the submissive. In my own personal experiences with submissives, I’ve often seen the same thing. But I have yet to see, hear, or read about anyone explaining how this could happen. This story is my attempt to explain my own theory on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Helping a Friend</title><link>/stories/2011/12/14/helping-a-friend/</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/14/helping-a-friend/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Abby? I’m Jack, a friend of Jane‘s. She said you were needing help with something?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Oh, hello Jack. Please come in.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stepping inside, Jack glanced around the small room. The apartment as a whole was small, somehow seeming suitable for a young woman fresh out of college. Finishing his brief examination, he turned back toward his hostess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Thanks for coming over,” she was saying. “Did she tell you what it was I needed help with?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mistress of the House</title><link>/stories/2011/12/14/mistress-of-the-house/</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/14/mistress-of-the-house/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Welcome, Steven.  Thank you for coming over on such short notice.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My pleasure, Carol.  What can I do for you today?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Come in, come in.”  Smiling, Carol stepped back, allowing Steve to enter.  He’d been a bit surprised to see her answering the door herself.  Whatever it was she wanted, he mused, it must be important.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is your first time here, is it not?”  Steve nodded slowly.  “In that case, why don’t we begin with a tour?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sharing</title><link>/stories/2011/12/05/sharing/</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/05/sharing/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This story was an entry into the 2011 Winter Fetish Story Contest&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jake woke from a rather strange dream to find himself in an even stranger reality. He lay face down on a soft surface that he assumed was his bed. Assumed because he couldn’t see to be sure. Something covered his head, making vision impossible. Nor could he ask. Something that felt suspiciously like tape sealed his lips closed, allowing only humming noises to emerge.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sharing</title><link>/stories/2011/12/05/sharing/</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/05/sharing/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Story entry in the 2011 Winter Fetish Stories Contest&lt;/p&gt;

It was the newest and best thing ever devised by the human mind. At least, that’s what the press releases said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Physically, it was a city, albeit a small one, perched on a platform. Newly developed repulsor technology allowed the platform to hover in mid air. Floating high over Colorado (so high, read the releases, that the Grand Canyon looks like a ravine), the city even borrowed its name from a science fiction thriller of the past. Cloud City, floating high and proud, the ultimate vacation destination.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Good Neighbours</title><link>/stories/2011/12/04/good-neighbours/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/12/04/good-neighbours/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Walk me home?” she asked with a smile. Returning her smile, I nodded, rising from my chair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m just going to say good night to Jeremy.” With that, she vanished through the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I waited, I pondered. Mary, classic Asian beauty combined with an American temperament. In the short time I’d known her, she’d become a mystery I would love to solve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We met the day she began moving in next door to my best friend Jeremy. I’d gone outside to check out a noise I’d heard, only to find her struggling to move part of a sectional couch from a rental truck to the front door. My immediate offer to help was met with a look of almost complete scorn.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Block Party</title><link>/stories/2011/11/11/block-party/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/11/11/block-party/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Janice Walker woke with a slight headache.  Worse, she woke to find her hands somehow tied behind her.  For a moment, she tugged at her bonds, then, slowly, she rose to her feet.  Thinking quickly, she moved toward the kitchen, heading straight for the knife drawer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Janice turned her back to the drawer, fumbling with her bound hands until she was able to pull it open.  Carefully, standing nearly on her toes to raise her bound hands high enough, she reached into the drawer, only to feel nothing.  She turned, staring in disbelief into the empty drawer.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Like Mother, Like Daughter</title><link>/stories/2011/10/13/like-mother-like-daughter/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/10/13/like-mother-like-daughter/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Abby?  I’m Jack, a friend of your mom.  She said you were needing help with something?”&lt;/p&gt;

She’d been working up the nerve for some time now, and today would see the fruit of that work. She’d even come up with the perfect way to keep herself from backing out if she got cold feet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Had anyone been able to see Mary at that moment, they would never have guessed that she had been born Marc Reilly. Blessed, or cursed, with the ability to change himself at will, Marc had several years earlier created Mary as his alter ego. He had even arranged for her to have valid identification, and, in an ironic twist, he had even had himself named her legal guardian.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jolene</title><link>/stories/2011/08/14/jolene/</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/14/jolene/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Are we ready to begin?”  Without waiting for an answer Jolene settled into the chair.  “Well?” she demanded, “what are you waiting for?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inwardly, she smiled.  The whole crew knew that she and James, the director, weren’t getting along well.  In fact, they were barely on speaking terms.  It was openly whispered that he’d fire her if he could, but nobody knew exactly why, or why she was still around.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Selene</title><link>/stories/2011/08/14/selene/</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/14/selene/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;So you are the famous Craftsman.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man in the rough homespun laughed. &amp;ldquo;You don’t look like a master thief and assassin,&amp;rdquo; he said genially. &amp;ldquo;Then again, I hardly resemble a noble of the court at the moment, do I?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man known as the Craftsman glanced around the room, noting the rough, hand-carved wood of the table and chairs. It was a small hut, plainly the dwelling of someone with little means. Shrugging, he glanced back toward his companion.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Special Delivery</title><link>/stories/2011/08/06/special-delivery/</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/06/special-delivery/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Mmmm?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smiling, Deb turned toward the bed. “Well, hello there sleepyhead,” she said brightly. “Did anyone ever tell you that you look absolutely beautiful waking up?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mmmm-mmm?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What? Oh, you mean this?” Still smiling, Deb reached down and softly stroked the tape covering the other woman’s mouth. “Well, dear, didn’t I tell you when you came over that we were going to have some fun? And now that you’re awake, the fun can begin.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Collection</title><link>/stories/2011/08/06/the-collection/</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/06/the-collection/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Madeline Rogers paused as she entered the long hall. For long moments, her eyes happily roamed the rows of her collection. In the soft light, metal gleamed, seeming almost to quiver with suppressed movement, as if waiting only a signal to burst into life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ancient armor was a passion for Madeline, second only to her all-consuming passion for acquiring wealth, power and influence. Thus far, she had an even dozen sets of armor from all over Europe, and from all periods of history. Rare enough, but each suit was made for a female body, which was vastly rarer. These were spaced evenly down the hall, six on each side. A thirteenth spot, centered in the wall at the far end of the hall, held the only set of armor that wasn’t an antique.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Witches Mistake</title><link>/stories/2011/08/02/a-witches-mistake/</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/02/a-witches-mistake/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Robert Stark (no relation to Tony) slowly pried open his eyes. For a moment, he lay gazing blearily up at the ceiling. Then, with all the effort in the world, he managed to roll over and drag himself to a seated position, legs hanging over the side of the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a night, he thought, staring at the wall of his room. First time in six months I decide to go to a bar, and I get so totally smashed, I can’t even remember getting home. And to make matters worse, I evidently wound up going to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sector 27</title><link>/stories/2011/08/02/sector-27/</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/08/02/sector-27/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“…..last recorded ship in that sector was a probe ship like yours, crew of one, nearly a hundred years ago.

&lt;p&gt;“Roger that, Control.” Lounging in the pilot’s seat, Sara Singleton idly punched the buttons to refine her course. “Any other info?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Not much. Several small ships have entered that sector over the past couple thousand years, but nothing about any of them making it back.

&lt;p&gt;“Oh?” Ellen watched as her roommate threw herself into a chair. “What did you forget about this time?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deb sighed. Ellen had been her best friend since high school. Deb loved her, but she had what Deb considered to be one minor flaw. She knew Deb way too well sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;

All Beta shift personnel are now at their posts.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Very good, Lieutenant,” Captain James Edwards replied, rising from his command chair. “You have the bridge.” After a final glance at the various stations, Edwards turned and left the bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ready for some relaxation, Captain?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edwards grinned. “Absolutely. Sixteen whole hours to enjoy, hopefully without an emergency to deal with. What about you, Commander?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commander Melissa Sykes, chief science officer, returned the grin. “Are you kidding? I’m testing a new program this evening.

&lt;p&gt;“The what?” Charles Higgens glanced around him. What he saw looked like an average office building, with people sitting in cubicles, working on computers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The Celestial Body Shop. This is where we do all the changes that happen in anyone’s body. If you gain weight, we added it here.

&lt;p&gt;Bob smiled, not in the least surprised by the patent disbelief in Melissa’s voice. After all, what he’d just told her was, by all definition, impossible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I can change things,” he said again. “With my mind. I’m not sure exactly how it works, but if I’m close to something, I can visualize the change I want, and it happens.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two stood in Melissa’s living room, Melissa perfectly dressed as always, Bob looking somewhat more casual in baggy coveralls. Slowly, Melissa shook her head.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>North &amp; South</title><link>/stories/2011/03/21/north-south/</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/21/north-south/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Damn her.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enviously, Jenna South watched as the expensive vehicle emerged from the walled estate, gliding smoothly up the road on its repulsor field. Inside the vehicle, she knew, rode her former friend, former rival, current enemy and future victim, Aya North.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As close as North and South,” had been a catch phrase throughout high school to describe these unlikely friends. “Opposites attract,” would have been just as appropriate. Tall, willowy Jenna South and short, lush Aya North, all through high school, the two had been inseperable, going everywhere together, sharing everything. Then came college.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lottie &amp; Dottie</title><link>/stories/2011/03/12/lottie-dottie/</link><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/12/lottie-dottie/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Go right in, Miss Miles.

&lt;p&gt;Loretta Miles smiled at the pretty receptionist. “Thanks. And be sure not to tell her I’m here. It’s a surprise.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stepping into the office, Loretta softly closed the door and slipped her huge purse from her shoulder. For a moment, she simply gazed around her at the expensive taste of the office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I must admit, sister,” she murmured, “you have done well. Now it’s my turn.” Cheerfully, she lowered herself into the chair behind the desk, enjoying the view, her mind filled with memories of the road that had brought her here.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Visit</title><link>/stories/2011/03/12/the-visit/</link><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/12/the-visit/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Hey you.” Smiling, he wrapped his arms around her. Gladly, she returned both smile and hug, and for long moments, they simply stood in the doorway holding each other. Eyes closed, face pressed against his shoulder, she realized suddenly how much she had missed the feel of his touch. When his arms finally loosened, she moaned her disappointment, but loosened her own hold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“And what are you doing here?” Still held loosely in his arms, she smiled.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Erin &amp; Eleanor</title><link>/stories/2011/03/10/erin-eleanor/</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/03/10/erin-eleanor/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Please!” she begged, “have mercy!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kneeling before the altar, Erin struggled against the bonds that held her. Eyes wide with fear, she stared at the man who stood looking down at her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You were found stealing from me,” the man said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It was only garbage, my lord,” she replied frantically. “Please forgive me, I was starving.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Garbage it may have been,” the man said serenely, “yet it was mine, not yours to take. I’ve a mind to let you be the food, instead.” Smiling, he nodded toward the altar.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Statuary Love</title><link>/stories/2011/02/16/statuary-love/</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/02/16/statuary-love/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;As she slipped the key into the lock, Trish glanced around furtively.  As owner and general manager of this plant, she had every right to come in early.  Still, considering what she had in mind, she really didn’t want to get caught.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mythic Figures was a small company, operating only this one plant, and that with only one shift.  Over the past couple years, Trish had found a comfortable niche for her company making custom statues and figures.  It was their latest order that had her coming in early.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Invention 2</title><link>/stories/2011/01/28/the-invention-2/</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/01/28/the-invention-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continued from &lt;a href="the_invention.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, her beloved slave seemed to be gone more and more these days.  As one of the most sought after computer and mechanical designers in the country, Kendra was constantly getting requests for her help with some project.  Right now, she was helping NASA with details of the long-awaited replacement for the space shuttles.  As of her last call, she looked to be gone at least another week.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Invention Part 2</title><link>/stories/2011/01/28/the-invention-part-2/</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/01/28/the-invention-part-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="the_invention.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Invention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Fire? Oh, yes, sorry. I simply had to show you this right away.” For the past several years, the two had been friendly (and sometimes not so friendly) competitors. As scientists and amateur inventors, each was constantly trying to outdo the other. This had, at times, put considerable strain on their relationship, but it had also led to some serious breakthroughs by both.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>First-Hand History</title><link>/stories/2011/01/02/first-hand-history/</link><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2011/01/02/first-hand-history/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The glow of torches faintly illuminated the cold stone blocks forming the walls of the empty room. Slowly, the glow increased, until, without fanfare, the torch bearers entered, a pair of dusky beauties wrapped in gossamer robes.

As they did so, four muscular men in loincloths entered, carrying between them a burden that writhed and grunted. A second pair of torch bearers came next, moving to the front corners of the room. Finally, a tall, almost painfully thin man wearing white robes entered.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Have Yourself a Mummy Little Christmas</title><link>/stories/2010/12/24/have-yourself-a-mummy-little-christmas/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2010/12/24/have-yourself-a-mummy-little-christmas/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Pattie slowly worked her way to awareness, only to find herself wishing she were still unconscious.

What their real names were, nobody knew. What was known, however, was that they were the hottest crime fighting pair in the city. Beta had the ability to move any object with her mind, providing she could see it. Theta could change any substance into any other substance, again, providing she could see it.
Another well-known fact, obvious to any who saw them, was that Beta and Theta were twins. With their large breasts and otherwise very dangerous curves, the two blondes were identical in every way. Only their unique powers differentiated them one from the other.
Now, they prepared to combine their talents once again. Their target today was Titan, a huge man with superhuman strength. The pair had tracked him to an old warehouse, where he now, apparently, had them trapped.
As Titan advanced toward them, Theta’s eyes fell on a stack of steel beams nearby. Under her gaze, the end of a top beam shimmered slightly, becoming the end of a thick steel cable. The change moved slowly along the beam, as cable began to coil onto the floor.
Sensing her twin’s idea, Beta used her power to grasp the end of the cable, slowly drawing it into a coil as it grew longer. The two ignored Titan’s ponderous approach as the focused on their tasks.
Ignoring the changing beams, Titan passed the pile to halt before the two blondes. “I have you now,” he gloated. “There’s nowhere left to run.”
As he spoke, the last of the beams vanished, leaving a huge coil of cable on the floor. Her part finished, Theta grinned at Titan.
“It looks like you’re right,” she said. “So why don’t you surrender now and save yourself the embarrassment?”
“Me? I’m not the one who’s going to be…….what the….?” Distracted by Theta’s words, Titan hadn’t noticed the coil of cable as Beta brought it behind him. What silenced him was feeling the end of the cable encircle his ankles. Even as he glanced down, the huge coil spun around him, pinning his legs together with several turns of the heavy steel. Before he could move, more turns pinned his arms to his sides.
Cursing, Titan struggled, but even his strength was no match for the thick cables. These reached his shoulders, then quickly worked their way back down his body until the ends touched. Under Theta’s gaze, the ends melded together, forming one continuous cable the nearly cocooned Titan, rendering his might useless. In the end, all his struggles accomplished was to make him lose his balance, so that he fell heavily to the floor.
“That’s another one,” Beta said with satisfaction. “Damn, but I’m good.”
“You?” Theta demanded. “What about me? I provided the cable you caught him with.”
Beta shrugged. “True,” she said, “but I could have stopped him by myself. Perhaps by planting those beams around him as a cage. I just let you help so you’d feel useful.”
“I’ll show you useful!” Under Theta’s glare, Beta’s slacks changed to shiny black latex, the legs merging to pin Beta’s legs together.
“So that’s how it is?” Beta’s eyes fell on a crate filled with scraps of rope and cloth. Under her power, sections of the rope knotted themselves together, then wrapped around Theta’s ankles, pinning them together and rapping around her legs up to her thighs, where they tied themselves off.
Glaring, the twins faced each other, one’s legs bound in latex, the other in rope. Each ignored her own situation, assuming that, once she’d defeated her sister, she could free herself.
Beta’s shirt now changed, the material of the sleeves merging with the main portion, latex flowing down over her hands to pin her arms at her sides. At the same time, more knotted rope flew around Theta until her arms and hands were also pinned at her sides.
Suddenly, Theta grinned, and Beta felt a coolness around her nipples. Glancing down, she saw that the latex holding her had developed two holes, allowing her now bare breasts to hang free. Theta’s grin froze as her top suddenly ripped and pulled apart, allowing her breasts to protrude between the ropes that parted to let them through.
“Why you little bmmmmmffff!” Theta’s words were suddenly muffled as a wad of cloth stuffed itself into her mouth, a length of rope encircling her head and knotting to hold it in place. As if in reply, the material of Beta’s latex prison suddenly expanded, moving up her throat and over her chin to cover her mouth, turning her sudden curses into muffled humming.
For a moment, each girl struggled against her bonds. Then, Theta lowered her gaze slightly. Beta squealed through her sealed lips as the latex at her crotch seemed to press inward. Desperately, she squeezed with all her might, but couldn’t eject the large dildo that had formed within her.
Theta’s triumph lasted only a moment, until a knotted rope attached itself to the wrappings around her waist, the end threading between her thighs to draw tight, pulling the cloth of her slacks deep within her most sensitive flesh, before knotting itself at her back, holding itself cruelly tight.
Suddenly, a patch of cloth wrapped itself over Theta’s eyes, knotting at the back of her head, blinding her. At the same time, the material of Beta’s prison leaped upward to cover the rest of her head, blinding her as well. Deprived of their power along with their sight, neither girl could now act to free herself. The two stood struggling in their bonds until, one after the other, they lost their balance and fell to the floor. As they continued to struggle helplessly, each girl found herself hoping the other had alerted the authorities before chasing Titan here. Otherwise, they were going to be here for a very long time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Competition</title><link>/stories/2010/08/07/the-competition/</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2010/08/07/the-competition/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In the land of the Amazons, there is a tradition.

Christina, child of wealth and privilege, with her mansion and her Jaguars, and Jim, with his apartment, his old Chevy, and his job as a customer care agent. In spite of their differences, or maybe because of them, the two had hit it off almost from the moment they met. And while Christina could never really understand it, she gladly accepted the fact that Jim had absolutely no interest in her money. She had offered him a new car, his own house; she had even suggested he quit his job and live with her. Jim had gently declined each time, leaving Christina to ponder something she had never before encountered, a man who wanted her only for herself.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Joining the Collector's Army</title><link>/stories/2010/04/20/joining-the-collectors-army/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2010/04/20/joining-the-collectors-army/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The battle, finally, was over.  The battered remnants of the army commanded by the man known only as The Collector, lay strewn across the field, their armored shells making the scene resemble a battlefield of knights.  Earth Security Force personnel roamed the field, examining the remains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She nodded. “How could I forget? I honestly think that girl measured every square inch of me.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He smiled. “I had some things made from those measurements. Go strip off and we’ll see how they fit.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once in the bedroom, she quickly removed her clothing. For a moment, he simply looked at her, and as always, his gaze sent a shiver through her body.

&lt;p&gt;Almost before the door closed, Nicole found herself wrapped in supple arms.  Soft lips pressed against her own, and she surrendered to the deep kiss that followed.  When the kiss finally ended, she stepped back reluctantly, her knees trembling.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Akasha</title><link>/stories/2009/12/23/akasha/</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/12/23/akasha/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Long ago, before the reign of man, the magical races dwelt together in peace, led by the council of races.  Of all the races, the fairest were the elves.  And of the elves, none were as fair as the winged elves.  Famed for their beauty and grace, the winged elves, along with their brothers the woodland elves, led the council.  And for a millennia, all was peace.  Until she came.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Trish &amp; Amanda</title><link>/stories/2009/12/20/trish-amanda/</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/12/20/trish-amanda/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Are we ready?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trish looked at Amanda with a mixture of eagerness and trepidation. She’d never dreamed her blurted tale of fascination with bondage would lead to this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She had, after all, been at least partly drunk from the wine the two friends had been drinking. Trish still wasn’t sure how the conversation got onto the topic of bondage, but, her inhibitions dulled by the wine, she’d told Amanda all about her desire to experience the helplessness of being bound.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Debra's Awakening</title><link>/stories/2009/08/29/debras-awakening/</link><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/08/29/debras-awakening/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“You want me to what?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, her boss simply looked at her. As the youngest and least experienced person on the staff, Debra Gray had been agitating for a real assignment. Now that she had one, she balked. The man sighed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Is there a problem with this job?” he asked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debra frowned. “Let me see if I have this right. You want me to interview some asshole who enjoys dominating women, for a story about alternative lifestyles in the city?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sara</title><link>/stories/2009/08/08/sara/</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/08/08/sara/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was with something just short of a sigh that Sara rose from her chair.  No emails, no messages, nothing.  For three days now, there had been no word from him, and she was beginning to worry.  They had never gone this long without talking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With another almost sigh, she turned from the computer.  The kids were in school, and it was time for her to get busy.  Her home needed tending to, and staring at her screen would accomplish nothing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Cautionary Story For Tea Lovers</title><link>/stories/2009/02/23/a-cautionary-story-for-tea-lovers/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/02/23/a-cautionary-story-for-tea-lovers/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In and of itself, the room was unremarkable.  Stone walls, stone floor.  No window, and only one door.  Comfortably warm, dimly lighted, it seemed a place that could be easily forgotten.  All of which seemed somehow appropriate to the room’s occupant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Standing in the center of the room, the woman tugged experimentally at her bonds.  Chains from the leather cuffs on her wrists led up to the ceiling, holding her arms spread above her head.  Chains likewise led from the cuffs on her ankles to rings on the floor, holding her feet spread apart.  A rubber ball, held within her mouth by leather straps, completed her helplessness.  Naked, she could only await she knew not what.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Her First Mummification</title><link>/stories/2009/02/18/her-first-mummification/</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/02/18/her-first-mummification/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Shall we begin?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nervously, she nodded. This had long been one of her greatest fantasies, and now, thanks to him, it was about to come true. Now, with growing excitement, she watched him prepare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She stood, as commanded, beside the bed, the air cool on her naked flesh. Also as commanded, she had attached clamps to her nipples, the chain moving gently as she breathed, the dull throb from her hardened buds only heightening an arousal already growing from the simple thought of what was to happen next.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Showtime</title><link>/stories/2009/01/21/showtime/</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/01/21/showtime/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Stepping from the shower, Kris dried herself, then moved to her wardrobe to select an outfit. Tonight’s show was going to be special, and she wanted to look as sexy as possible. After some thought, she selected her black bikini, then moved to stand in front of her full length mirror. Pausing, she eyed herself critically. She was a slender girl, with a firm ass, slim waist, and firm, medium sized breasts. A perfect handful, her boyfriend often told her. Smiling at the thought, she donned her bikini and moved to her studio.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stranger in the House</title><link>/stories/2008/12/23/stranger-in-the-house/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/12/23/stranger-in-the-house/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The room was a study in quiet elegance. Furnished in dark wood and soft leather, gently lighted, the room bespoke wealth and comfort. But to the woman perched rather nervously in one of the room’s chairs, it was simply home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sandra James was a Cinderella story brought to life. Married at seventeen to a poor but hard working clerk, she had watched as her husband, with her help, had worked his way to success, finally becoming owner of the regional retail chain that had previously employed him. When her husband died in a plane crash, Sandra had stepped in to run the company, which continued to grow under her firm guidance.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Let The Punishment Fit The Crime</title><link>/stories/2008/12/05/let-the-punishment-fit-the-crime/</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/12/05/let-the-punishment-fit-the-crime/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The chair was rather ordinary. Made of sturdy wood, with a straight back, it was the sort you might expect to find ranked around a dining room table. A nude figure slumped against the back of the chair, stirring only slightly when a voice emerged from the surrounding darkness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Martin Redfield, awaken!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The figure’s head raised slowly, eyes opening as if against great resistance. Lips moved soundlessly, and then a whispering voice emerged.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>No Good Deed…</title><link>/stories/2008/11/30/no-good-deed/</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/11/30/no-good-deed/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;When James Watson signed up for the new halfway house program, he had no firm idea of what he was agreeing to. The concept was simple enough. Young people, mostly in their mid to late twenties, who’d been in trouble with the law but were considered “salvageable” by the courts, would be placed in the homes of responsible citizens. The citizen would then act as guardian, helping their charge reenter society. For this, they received a modest stipend to help cover expenses.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Turnabout</title><link>/stories/2008/11/25/turnabout/</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/11/25/turnabout/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Vesta relaxed into her easy chair with a soft sigh. It had been a long day, and she was just as glad to see it ending.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking at her, relaxed in her chair, an observer would have been quite misled by what they saw. Vesta appeared to be in her mid thirties, slim, well formed, her red silk blouse and black skirt faithfully outlining a full bust and flaring hips. Her face was one of refined beauty, with deep blue eyes and a flowing mane of auburn hair. All in all, the very picture of a beautiful young executive relaxing after a day at the office.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bondage Shoot</title><link>/stories/2008/09/19/bondage-shoot/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/09/19/bondage-shoot/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Jessie, ten minutes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Walters sighed, dropping the towel that was her only covering.  Looking into the mirror, she admired her large breasts, flat stomach, toned legs.  Her face was a study in beautiful innocence, dominated by large blue eyes, all framed by flowing auburn hair.  With another sigh, she turned away to get ready.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica had come to Hollywood two years earlier, hoping to become a star.  In a way, she had.  Billed as Jessie Jane, she’d quickly risen to the top of her specialty.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fourth Time</title><link>/stories/2008/09/19/fourth-time/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/09/19/fourth-time/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Lisa sighed as she rinsed yet another dish. When would she ever learn? she asked herself. With three failures to her credit, you’d think she’d have given up. But no, here she was for number four.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some time back, Lisa had taken a long look at herself. Her desire to please others, the warm feeling she got when she knew she’d made someone happy. These things, and others, had convinced her, after some judicious web surfing, that she was submissive. With that in mind, she’d set out to find herself a Master. After all, what good is a sub without a Master to serve?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Invention</title><link>/stories/2008/07/30/the-invention/</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/07/30/the-invention/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Janine smiled as she gazed on the device in front of her.  As usual, her slave had done a wonderful job.  If, she thought, it actually worked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The device in question seemed simple enough.  A padded board rested at a 45 degree angle.  Near each corner, a lined leather loop emerged.  A fifth loop, about two thirds of the way up, held a penis gag.  Further down, three small trap doors were visible.  Below the bottom straps, a board extended from the pad.  A mirror mounted in the ceiling allowed anyone laying on the pad to see their reflection.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dreams</title><link>/stories/2008/06/25/dreams/</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/06/25/dreams/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Pulling up, she could see that the old house hadn’t changed much over the years.  It stood as proud and silent as ever.  Just like him, she thought, leaving the car and moving toward the door. As she rang the bell, she steeled herself, ready for anything.  Anything, that is, except the feelings that swept through her at the first sight of him.  Silently, she gazed at him as he stood in the doorway.  His hair, normally close cropped, was now worn a bit longer.  His eyes, those soft, piercing eyes, seemed a bit more tired than before.  Otherwise, he’d changed very little.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Magic Poker</title><link>/stories/2008/05/15/magic-poker/</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 May 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/05/15/magic-poker/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Andrew frowned at his computer screen, puzzled. He’d been playing one of those online strip poker games, a new one he’d found called Magic Poker. It was one of those games where you tried to run the girl out of money, then buy items of her clothing so she could continue to play. He’d done well at first, getting the busty blonde on his screen down to just her panties, but then the cards had turned against him. Now the girl on the screen was fully dressed, and he was out of money.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Prey For The Huntress</title><link>/stories/2008/01/21/prey-for-the-huntress/</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/01/21/prey-for-the-huntress/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author’s Note:&lt;/strong&gt; This story is dedicated to the real Huntress, a true and cherished friend who has always been there, from that first day when she made this old Wolf feel welcome in a new and strange place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our world of information, he was a mystery.  Even his name was unknown.  Some even suggested that he’d lived under so many assumed names that even he couldn’t remember the name he’d been born with.  To those who sought his services, he was The Hunter.  As in hunter of men.  He was among the highest priced assassins in the world.  He had never missed a target; he always came through. This job, however was different.  For one, the target wasn’t a high profile personality.  For another, the client demanded an unusual payment option.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bad Bargain 2</title><link>/stories/2007/12/31/bad-bargain-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/12/31/bad-bargain-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="bad_bargain.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;part one&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Startled, Janet nearly dropped the delicate figurine she’d been examining.  Placing it quickly, but very carefully back on the shelf, she turned.
“I-I’m sorry,” she stammered.  “I-I didn’t mean to intrude.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, the man in the worn black robe simply gazed at her, then a warm smile softened the planes of his face. “No intrusion at all,” he said, spreading his arms in welcome.  “This is, after all, my shop, and what are shops without customers?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bad Bargain 2</title><link>/stories/2007/12/31/bad-bargain-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/12/31/bad-bargain-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="bad_bargain.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad Bargain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

Howling winds and pouring rain pounded southern California for two days. Late on the second day, a Saturday, lightning struck several power substations, causing massive power surges that blacked out hundreds of buildings and pretty much fried many computer systems without sufficient surge protection. One of those systems belonged to Serendipity, Inc, California’s largest producer of sexual androids.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While not totally destroyed, Serendipity’s computer did lose large blocks of data due to the surge. When power was restored late on Sunday, the computer rebooted and began trying to piece together what remained of it’s data stores. Most seriously damaged was the file of human sexual preferences, from which the specs for new androids were developed. Originally containing almost every possible sexual preference, only one now remained:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Third Wish</title><link>/stories/2007/11/17/third-wish/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/11/17/third-wish/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Brittany frowned as she eyed her newest acquisition. Looking like a cross between a wine bottle and a vase, the long neck vessel had recently been unearthed at a dig sponsored by the local university. Deemed of no real historical value, the bottle, along with other more-or-less worthless items, had been sold by the university in it’s never-ending quest for more money. And Brittany, incurable bargain hunter, had been unable to resist this latest purchase.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How Not To Decorate For A Party</title><link>/stories/2007/10/31/how-not-to-decorate-for-a-party/</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/10/31/how-not-to-decorate-for-a-party/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A Halloween Special 2009 Tale&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About a mile outside town, set alone atop a wooded hill, stood a haunted house.  Everyone knew it was haunted, just as everyone knew that people had gone there before and never been seen again.  Nobody actually knew anyone who had vanished there, but everyone knew it had happened. Which is why Gwen’s friends were shocked when she announced that she was going to “set the place up” for some friends visiting from out of town.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Eternal Bliss</title><link>/stories/2007/10/23/eternal-bliss/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/10/23/eternal-bliss/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sara James sat at her desk, her mind struggling to deal with the shock she had just received. On her desk lay a stack of pictures, freshly delivered by the private investigator she’d hired. The pictures, taken over a period of three months, showed Robert, her husband, and Jan, his secretary, engaged in some very energetic sex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could this happen, she wondered? At 36, she was still considered extremely attractive, and she’d had plenty of offers lately. Faithful to Robert, she’d never strayed. Apparently, he hadn’t been as faithful to her.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Something New</title><link>/stories/2007/04/01/something-new/</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/04/01/something-new/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The knock on the door came as a surprise. With the kids at school, and her husband at work, she’d been looking forward to a quiet, relaxing day. With a soft sigh, she drew her robe closer about her and opened the door. She wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but it wasn’t what she saw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Master?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dressed in his customary black, he stood in the doorway, holding a rather large box.

&lt;p&gt;Molly opened her toolbox with a sigh. As the youngest person in Maintenance, and the only woman, she always got the crap jobs. Like this one. Why did shipping have to yell for help to adjust an eye on the wrapper? Loosen a screw, adjust the eye, tighten the screw. How hard could it be?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least she wouldn’t have to put up with any remarks from the floor, she thought as she dug out her allen wrench set.

&lt;p&gt;Brian Ames woke slowly. He couldn’t believe how good he felt. Last night, Angie, his girlfriend, had treated him to lovemaking like he’d never known before. This morning, he felt like a million. Slowly, reluctantly, he opened his eyes and moved to rise from the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mmmm? Mmmfff! Nnnnmmmmfffff!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Something was wrong! Not only couldn’t he move, but he could make no sound other than muffled grunts.

&lt;p&gt;Great opening, I know. A great effort, though, considering the visual distraction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Standing in my doorway was a prime example of why Asian women are considered among the most beautiful in the world.

As production manager, she always made it a point to go through after the

properly shut down. Not
that there was much to check. The

&lt;p&gt;William Clayton entered the
room carrying a smallish wooden box, which he placed on a table, then opened. Inside, cushioned by velvet, was a set of rings. William selected a ring with a golden stone. Placing the ring on his finger, he closed the box and turned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the center of the room,
strapped firmly to a wheelchair, was an auburn haired doll. Just less than a
year earlier, the doll had been Jessica Monroe. Jessica had used new technology to turn women into inflated love dolls. Her career had ended only when William, using even newer technology, had
transformed her into a solid love doll. Now
he prepared to make her human again.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ladyheart</title><link>/stories/2006/04/05/ladyheart/</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2006/04/05/ladyheart/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was approaching sunrise as
the rider drew near his modest home. As
the large bay stallion ambled through the gate, the rider shifted in his saddle
with a soft curse. Damn these state
dinners, he thought. And damn these
pompous fools, with their secret smiles and hidden lies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though
not a large man, the rider was obviously a warrior, and not even the purple
and cream silks he wore could hide the lean strength of his form. No longer young, he yet carried himself with an easy erectness, relaxed
and yet poised to spring should the need arise. Perhaps his most striking feature was his eyes, deep wells of emerald
green. More than one woman had felt her warmth grow at his gaze, and
more than one foppish noble had found himself turning away from the steady gaze
that seemed to look into his soul. Now,
approaching his home, those eyes took in the peaceful silence, the modest beauty
of his surroundings, marred only by the form at his door.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Business As Usual</title><link>/stories/2006/02/14/business-as-usual/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2006/02/14/business-as-usual/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Ok, any questions?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Graham glanced across the expanse of her huge desk toward the four men ranked on the other side. One shifted uncomfortably under her piercing gaze, but none spoke. Jessica smiled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Then let’s get this done. Understand, gentlemen, successful completion of this project can fetch
huge dividends for this company. Failure will not be tolerated. The ball is now in your court. Don’t fumble. That will be all.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chastity's Final Program</title><link>/stories/2005/12/12/chastitys-final-program/</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/12/12/chastitys-final-program/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It had been a long day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chastity McCullock settled into her usual seat on the train and settled in
for the 15-minute ride home. Home
sounded much better than Domicile 38s (single), level 5, block 3, dome 7,
undersea habitation area 33. Whatever
you called it, it was Chastity’s refuge from the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chastity was a computer programmer, practically the only job remaining in
this modern, computerized world. With
practically the entire land area of the world covered by manufacturing and
food production facilities, humanity had retreated into underground and
underwater communities. There,
they grew increasingly pampered by the swiftly evolving computers that could
now provide nearly anything the human mind could conceive. Creating new programs for these computers was one of the few
occupations that still required human participation.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chastity's Final Program</title><link>/stories/2005/12/12/chastitys-final-program/</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/12/12/chastitys-final-program/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It had been a long day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking at herself in the mirror, Kaitlyn silently cursed herself. If she hadn’t made that stupid promise, she wouldn’t be in this position. Not that her position felt bad. Quite the opposite, actually. It was how she got here that bothered her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tom had been living with her for several months, now, and she had never had a more caring, attentive lover. It seemed as though his every move, every word, was carefully calculated for her happiness and pleasure. Kaitlyn had wanted to do something extra special to show her appreciation, and his birthday had seemed the perfect opportunity. She would find him the perfect gift.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Poetic Justice</title><link>/stories/2005/06/18/poetic-justice/</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/06/18/poetic-justice/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“A prisoner transfer?” Officer Rebecca Stillwater was shocked.
“I’ve never done a transfer before. Not solo, anyway.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Oh, I know that,” replied Captain Giles. “But I think you can
handle it. Besides, this prisoner is one I know you’ll take special
care to deliver.” With a smile, he handed Rebecca a thick file.
Printed atop the front was the name Jennifer Stark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the sight of the name, Rebecca smiled. Stark had been her toughest
arrest yet. A burglar who didn’t mind having some fun with anyone
unfortunate enough to be present when she broke into a home. Assuming,
that is, that the unlucky one was a woman. At the time of her arrest,
it was figured she’d robbed 32 homes and raped 17 women.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Unintended Baggage</title><link>/stories/2005/06/12/unintended-baggage/</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/06/12/unintended-baggage/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Packaged Story Contest 2005 Entrant&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Let’s see, is that everything?” Glancing around, Stacy tried
to think of anything she might have forgotten. As far as she could
tell, she’d gotten everything. Which was good, she thought, looking
at the trunk standing open at the bottom of the stairs. She seriously
doubted she could fit much more in there. Not that she cared how
much she had to cram into the thing. She’d cram stuff in to get rid
of him.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>His Once More</title><link>/stories/2005/01/27/his-once-more/</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/01/27/his-once-more/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sitting quietly in the car, she looked toward the house she hadn’t seen
in so long. Dark in the early morning stillness, its quiet bulk stirred
an uneasiness within her. As if unbidden, her hand rose to touch
the collar she’d placed around her neck at his command, a mark of submission
impossible to disguise. Beside her, she could feel his eyes watching
her, and, with an effort of will, let her hand drop back into her lap.
She felt more than saw his quiet nod. Following his lead, she exited
the car, waiting as he collected her bag, then following him to the house.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Party Favor</title><link>/stories/2005/01/27/party-favor/</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/01/27/party-favor/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The time had come. After months of planning, weeks of waiting
for the perfect opportunity, it was finally time to claim what should be
hers by right. And it would be all too easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As soon as she met Brad, Crystal knew she had to have him. Though
he wasn’t the best looking man she’d known, there was something about him
that drew her. Unable to resist the attraction, she’d flirted with
him constantly, letting him know she was his for the taking. Somehow,
though, he hadn’t, or couldn’t, see what she had to offer. And when
he started seeing Karen, her best friend, Crystal had been enraged.
On that day, she swore she would take him for herself.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Saturnalia</title><link>/stories/2004/10/29/saturnalia/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2004/10/29/saturnalia/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturnalia&lt;/strong&gt;

Saturnalia by Lobo De la Sombra
&lt;strong&gt;Prologue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You called, Mistress?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Relaxing in her chaise lounge, Donna glanced up at the sound of her
slave’s voice.  As was proper, James knelt at her feet, eyes downcast,
awaiting her command.  For a long moment, she let her eyes feast on
his naked form, lingering briefly here and there.  Then she leaned
forward and patted the lounge beside her feet.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rosa</title><link>/stories/2004/01/01/rosa/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2004/01/01/rosa/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It was a beautiful dream, and she was loath to leave it. In her
dream, Rosa knelt on a cold stone floor. Her captor had stripped
her clothing from her, and a cool breeze caused her nude form to shiver
slightly. Nor was it simply the cold that caused her tremors as she
watched her captor approach her. Not a word was said as her captor stopped
before her, his hands busy at his waist. Her eyes widened as his
erection emerged, hard and throbbing. Now his hands cupped her head,
drawing her toward him, forcing himself into her mouth. For a second,
she considered biting down, but knew that would only make things worse.
Obediently, she began to suck and lick on the hardness that invaded her
mouth. In her sleep, Rosa moaned softly. To be forced, the very idea
was repugnant to her. But to give up all control, to be helpless
at the hands of another, this was her secret fantasy, the dark secret she
had dared share with only one. And so Rosa slept, dreaming her sweet dream,
little guessing what her awakening would bring her.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Magic</title><link>/stories/2003/10/27/magic/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2003 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2003/10/27/magic/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“That old jerk! He ruined my best jeans!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gina stood in front of the mirror, examining herself. A tall,
strikingly built woman, she loved to dress to accentuate her body.
Today it was a pair of skintight jeans, topped by a sheer, long sleeve
blouse over a low neck tank that barely covered the nipples of her large,
firm breasts. Normally, Gina enjoyed preening in front of the full
length mirror, but not today. Today, her attention was focused on her jeans.
Specifically, on two small, dime-size black dots, one on the outside of
each leg. The dots felt like rubber, and try as she might, she couldn’t
peel them off.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Gift</title><link>/stories/2001/08/12/the-gift/</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Aug 2001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2001/08/12/the-gift/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Annie woke up in not the best of moods. She wasn’t feeling well,
and nothing she did seemed to help. And so, resigned to another long
day, she slowly climbed out of bed. As she was sipping on her first cup
of coffee, the doorbell rang. Gathering her robes around her, she
opened the door. Outside stood a pair of husky delivery men.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Good morning, ma’am,” said one. “We’ve got a package here for
you.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Matter of Trust</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/a-matter-of-trust/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/a-matter-of-trust/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AUTHOR’S NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt;  I wish I could say this was based on a true story, but that would be a bigger piece of fiction than everything that follows.  This is, however, a fictionalized version of an encounter I think just about any writer of bondage stories would like to experience.  And, who knows?  Maybe a few fans, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maria examined her reflection with a critical eye.  She’d decided to go for simple today, and the light summer dress, held up by a pair of tied shoulder straps, seemed to fit the bill.  Still, she didn’t want to look too simple.  This time, she absolutely must make a perfect first impression.  After all, a chance like this didn’t come along just every day.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Advanced Bondage</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/advanced-bondage/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/advanced-bondage/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Where the hell did it go?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glancing around at the disaster area that had just recently been a neat, orderly room, Nikki Vincent swore softly, then grinned at her own actions. It had been years since she&amp;rsquo;d acted like this. Like a rookie, she thought, her grin widening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It had been a long time since Nikki had been a rookie. A veteran and respected figure in the bondage video scene, her name, and her body, were among the best known of the many models churning out bondage videos and photo shoots for an avid audience. Nikki had seen it all, done it all, and enjoyed most of it. Today, though, she was feverishly trying to prepare for something entirely new.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Advanced Bondage 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/advanced-bondage-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/advanced-bondage-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="advancedbondage.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advanced Bondage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Finally!” Slamming the door behind her, Nikki Vincent leaned against it. Days like this, she thought, seriously challenged her love for her work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After several moments, Nikki began making her way across the room, leaving behind a trail of discarded clothing on her way to the shower. A long, hot soak, she thought wearily. Maybe then I’ll be able to relax.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Later, sprawled on her bed, Nikki stared up at the ceiling. Being home hadn’t helped. A long, almost scaldingly hot shower hadn’t helped. For a moment, Nikki seriously considered several large, stiff drinks. Then, as a thought popped into her head, she smiled.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Awakening</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/awakening/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/awakening/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;You awake slowly, almost reluctant to give up the dark softness of sleep,
knowing that disappointment awaits you.  All your plans, all your
dreams, have gone up in smoke, and reality is not something you want to
face right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your cyber-lover, the man of your dreams, had promised to come over
last night.  For the first time, you were to see something of him
other than his picture or words on your computer screen.  You’d followed
his instructions, bathing yourself thoroughly, eating a light meal, then
settled down with a good book to await his arrival.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bad Bargain</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/bad-bargain/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/bad-bargain/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Brent looked around him with a sigh, wondering why he’d

&lt;p&gt;Slowly, Bella rose to her feet, ignoring the looks and murmurs directed toward her from the gallery.  &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s General Sciorri,&amp;rdquo; she said softly, &amp;ldquo;if you please.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The judge frowned.  &amp;ldquo;This court,&amp;rdquo; he said, &amp;ldquo;does not recognize self granted rank.  Belladona Sciorri, you have been found guilty of multiple counts of terrorism.  Do you have anything to say on your behalf before this court passes sentance?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beta 2: Spencer</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/beta-2-spencer/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/beta-2-spencer/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="beta.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Spencer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Belladonna Sciori had never really grasped the concept of hell. Once, long ago, she&amp;rsquo;d idly entertained herself by imagining what hell might be. Back then, of course, hell had been a place where other people went.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Much had changed since then. With the final defeat of her armies, she had gone from General Sciori, conquerer, to Belladonna Sciori, prisoner. Sent to the penal colony on Primus, she had accepted her fate, not with dread, but with the firm belief that, even there, her genetically enhanced mind and body could and would prevail.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In the year 2147, scientists working on the human genome made a startling breakthrough. While still unable to completely map human DNA, they discovered a process that allowed them to swap X and Y chromosomes. In essence, they could now change anyone’s gender at will. Experiments performed on volunteers showed that, once the chromosome swap had been performed, the subject’s body slowly conformed itself to its new gender. Which meant that a man could have the procedure done, and, after about a month for his body to change, would become the woman he would have been had he been born female.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Two&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billy Marston flopped down on her bed, her cheeks puffing out with frustration. She hadn’t realized becoming a girl would be this much work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;None of her clothes fit any more. Of course, they were sized for her boy body, not her new girl body, so they were loose in some places, way too tight in others. So as a first order of business, her mother had taken her shopping. Which, of course, led to a fight.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 3</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Three&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billy Marston rushed up to her room, her package clutched firmly in her hands. It had finally arrived. Now to see if she had the nerve to use it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It had been two weeks since she’d undergone the change from William Marston, male, to Wilhelmina Marston, female. From the time she got home after the change, she’d eagerly followed her doctor’s advice that she masturbate often, in order to get used to her new body’s sexual responses. But after the first week, her fingers weren’t as much fun as they had been. So she’d gone online and sneaked an order out past her parents’ radar. And now it had arrived.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 4</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Four&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hey birthday boy! Enjoying your last day as a guy?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jack frowned. “Don’t remind me.” Today was his nineteenth birthday. Tomorrow, in accordance with law, he would be reporting to a GMA facility to undergo The Process and spend a year as a girl. He was obviously less than thrilled at the prospect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Come on, man,” Billie urged. “It’s not that bad, really.” Grinning, she dropped her robe and flaunted her nudity at him, turning and thrusting a hip in his direction. “I’m enjoying it, myself.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 5</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-5/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-5/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy4.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Five&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hey Jack!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Well,” came the slightly hangdog reply, “I think it’s Jackie now. Jack doesn’t sound right any more, not with what I see in the mirror.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billie smiled at the closed bedroom door. Just over a month ago, Jack had left this house as a nineteen year old guy, ready to undergo The Process. Two days ago, Jack, now a nineteen year old girl, had come home. This was Billie’s first visit.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 6</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-6/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-6/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy5.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 6&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Is this month ever going to be over?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It had been three weeks since Jack had returned home as Jackie, thanks to his legally-required gender change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billie smiled. “Only one more week,” she said encouragingly. “And you’re doing very well.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was certainly true. When she came home, Jackie’s hunger had been nearly insatiable. With Billie’s eager help, she had settled down considerably. While still considerable, her hunger was no longer all-consuming.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 7</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-7/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-7/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy6.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 7&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Isn’t that a nice ass?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hey now.” Smiling, Billie aimed a playful swat at Jackie’s ass. “You’re not supposed to be staring at girls’ asses.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Only yours, dear,” Jackie replied teasingly. “And besides, I was talking about that guy she’s with.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Jackie continued to ogle the guy across the room, Billie watched her, inwardly pleased that she’d made the adjustment so well. From the unhappy, despondent girl who’d come home from her change, she’d become this happy, lively young woman. Billie couldn’t be happier for her friend.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Billy 8</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/billy-8/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/billy-8/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="billy7.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy 7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 8&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mind if we join you?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Billie glanced up toward the voice, then shot a quick look over to Jackie. To her relief, Jackie just smiled and said, “Sure.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smoothly, Jackie slid to the back of the booth, and Billie quickly joined her. The two guys settled in, one on either side of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ok,” Billie said, “you both look familiar. What are your names?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m Jim,” said the guy sitting next to her. “And that’s Ron.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Brenda</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/brenda/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/brenda/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;As a teen, Brian Jenkins had discovered, quite by accident, that he possessed a very special gift. With a thought, he could alter reality. At first, he’d been nearly overwhelmed with dreams of how he could use this to make the world a better place, but he soon learned there were limits to this ability. He could only change things he could see. He couldn’t end war, couldn’t eliminate disease. Only things he could see with his own eyes could be changed. And images on television didn’t count either, he quickly learned.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Candice</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/candice/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/candice/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Gazing out into the darkness of the room, Candice pondered her situation. And the irony of where she was, and how she got there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As usual, her current situation had come about by accident, this time a literal one. A minor accident at work, barely enough to cause a couple bruises, but enough, evidently, to come to the attention of someone much higher on the company ladder than she would ever be.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Candice Part 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/candice-part-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/candice-part-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="candice.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is all your fault, I hope you know that.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Candice sighed softly. She really didn’t need another lecture from Dana, but it was obvious she was going to get one. She only hoped this one would be shorter than the others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two women sat facing each other in a small room, numerous lengths of rope binding each to her respective chair. They had been here for what felt like hours. Now, Dana watched with obvious disapproval as Candice squirmed in her bonds.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contract</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/contract/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/contract/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Breanna could feel her hands trembling as she handed her signed invitation
to the doorman.  As he examined the paper, she wondered, for perhaps
the thousandth time, who would possibly invite her to an event like this. 
And who did she know that could afford the outlandish costume that had
come with the invitation?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The boots weren’t so bad, though the five inch heels made walking a
bit difficult.  Black leather, like the rest of the outfit, they stretched
skin-tight all the way to her thighs.  Her skirt, was tight, reaching
only halfway down her thighs, making her ever aware of the fact that she
wore nothing beneath it.  But it was the top half of the outfit that
made her uneasy.  Stretched tight over her large breasts, the shiny
black to left her stomach bare almost to the bottoms of her breasts. 
Long sleeves covered her arms, while built-in gloves covered her hands. 
The high collar reached almost to her chin, making it rather difficult
to turn her head.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Differences</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/differences/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/differences/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Before ringing the doorbell, she checked her appearance one last time. Thigh high boots, shoulder length opera gloves, bustier and thong, all in black leather. One of her best outfits, and a definite client favorite. Satisfied that she presented the proper image, she pressed the doorbell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the door opened, she felt a vague sense of disappointment. Before her stood a man of average height, sweats and a t-shirt draped over a slim frame. Bearded, with fairly long hair, he somewhat resembled pictures she’d seen of hippies from the 60’s. Only the eyes, gazing at her through the lenses of his glasses, seemed different. Calm, silent, those eyes seemed to reflect something she wasn’t sure she knew; something she felt she might want to understand.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Doll Play</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/doll-play/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/doll-play/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Panting, the man rolled off the figure beneath him, coming to rest sprawled on his back. For several seconds, he lay silently, before the ringing of the phone caused him to stir. Answering, he spoke softly for a moment, then replaced the handset. Slowly, he climbed from the bed. Drawing on a pair of shorts, the man smiled down at the bed, then turned and left the room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alone on the bed, the female figure lay silently. Legs slightly spread, arms splayed at her sides, the figure lay with painted eyes staring at the ceiling, her lips parted to form a perfect oval. For long moments, the figure lay silently. Then, strangely, the lips closed, only to open again as the figure emitted a long, soft moan.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Doll Play 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/doll-play-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/doll-play-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="dollplay.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doll Play&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Sir? Yes, Sir. Understood, Sir. Thank you, Sir. Yes, Sir. We&amp;rsquo;ll be there. Goodbye, Sir.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Stein smiled as she gently placed the phone&amp;rsquo;s headset back into its cradle. &amp;ldquo;This could be interesting,&amp;rdquo; she thought as she turned away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Casually, she moved across her large living room. One of the perks of being a top agent for a secret government agency was her ridiculously huge salary, which allowed her to live in an even more ridiculously huge house. Another was a great deal of time off, it being felt that the stressful nature of her jobs required ample recovery time. Which allowed for some serious relaxing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Part 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the midwest, country roads are generally straight and regular, dividing the land into one mile squares. On one or more sides of each square, you might find a farm, its house, barns and sheds usually situated along the road near the center of its length. There were, of course, variations, but, as a rule, the squares, called sections, were pretty much the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One exception, in a wooded area, had become known locally as the four corners. Purchased jointly by four friends, the one square mile piece of land had been divided evenly into four parcels, with one friend living on each. Instead of hugging the road, as farms usually did, all four dwellings sat in the center of its particular parcel.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners 2: Steve/Stephanie</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-2-steve/stephanie/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-2-steve/stephanie/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="fourcorners.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 2: Steve/Stephanie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steve glanced around as he cautiously slid into a corner booth. Before, when the four friends went out on the town, they&amp;rsquo;d always separated at the door, each going his own way to try his own luck. Usually, the separation from his friends had always empowered Steve, made him feel like the solitary hunter. Tonight, stuck in this new and barely clothed body, he felt more like the prey.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners 3: Neil/Nell</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-3-neil/nell/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-3-neil/nell/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="fourcorners2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners 2: Steve/Stephanie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 3: Neil/Nell&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Settling into a booth, Neil was glad of his choice of clothing. Though tight, the black leather pants were supple enough to allow freedom of movement. He wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure about the zipper, which went all the way to the waistband in back, but it wasn&amp;rsquo;t really a big concern.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sleeveless top, however, he was less sure about. The collar fastened together with two snaps, while three snaps held the bottom together. Between these was a large circular opening that showed entirely too much of his new female chest. Neil still wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure why he&amp;rsquo;d chosen this particular top, but now he was stuck with it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners 4: Taylor/Taylor</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-4-taylor/taylor/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-4-taylor/taylor/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="fourcorners3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners 3: Neil/Nell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 4: Taylor/Taylor&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sliding into a booth, Taylor nervously smoothed his gown across his hips. Glancing around as if to make sure his friend couldn&amp;rsquo;t see him, he ordered a glass of wine. He&amp;rsquo;d never really been fond of beer, he admitted to himself, drinking it only because his friends preferred it. Now, secure in his privacy, he sipped the drink he&amp;rsquo;d always loved.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Four Corners 5: Andrew/Andrea</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-5-andrew/andrea/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/four-corners-5-andrew/andrea/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="fourcorners4.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners 4: Taylor/Taylor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 5: Andrew/Andrea&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rather than hiding in a booth, Andrew settled onto a stool at the bar. He felt extremely self-conscious in this body, and felt he could best hide himself in the middle of the crowd. He also decided to splurge with a hefty snifter of brandy, which he sipped slowly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glancing around, he watched the swirl of humanity, men and women in constant motion. He wondered what they would say if they knew that he was both. A woman physically, but still a man on the inside, in spite of actions he couldn&amp;rsquo;t deny were feminine. Seeing what the others wore made him less uncomfortable about his own dress, until the light, soft feel of the cloth against his skin felt almost natural.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Girl Time 1: Discovery</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/girl-time-1-discovery/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/girl-time-1-discovery/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girl Time 1: Discovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Carol, the time had come to solve a mystery. Myra and Sandy had been her best friends for longer than she cared to remember, and still there were things she didn&amp;rsquo;t know. Where did the two of them vanish to when they spent their mysterious weekends together? What did they do? And why did they never invite her? Now, after too long wondering, she&amp;rsquo;d decided it was time to find out.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Girl Time 2: Demonstration</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/girl-time-2-demonstration/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/girl-time-2-demonstration/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="girltime.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girl Time 1: Discovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Girl Time 2: Demonstration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helpless to escape the layers of clear plastic that pinned her naked body to the chair on which she sat, Carol could only watch as Myra dragged Sandy to the bed. Above the strips of tape that covered a mouth stuffed full of cloth, her eyes were wide, nearly frantic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Sorry I&amp;rsquo;m in such a rush,&amp;rdquo; Myra said, lifting Sandy onto the bed, &amp;ldquo;but I need to get this done. My stun gun is the best available, but I&amp;rsquo;ve made my own modifications to it. It doesn&amp;rsquo;t just incapacitate the body like normal stun guns. My design actually causes brief periods of unconsciousness. She&amp;rsquo;ll only be out for ten to fifteen minutes, and I definitely want to be done here before she wakes up.&amp;rdquo; She smiled. &amp;ldquo;I promise I&amp;rsquo;ll get back to you as soon as I&amp;rsquo;m done here.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Helen's Journey</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Thank you for seeing me.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My pleasure.” Smiling, Bradley Scott glanced at his visitor, taking in her wan look and loose, baggy clothing. Entirely appropriate, he thought, considering the young woman’s recent history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Jenny says you can help me,” she said, glancing at the young woman sitting beside her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“That remains to be seen,” Brad replied. “First, I need to know exactly what it is you want my help with.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Helen's Journey 2: Therapy Begins</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey-2-therapy-begins/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey-2-therapy-begins/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="helensjourney.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Helen&amp;rsquo;s Journey&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Therapy Begins&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Nervous?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Terrified, actually.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bradley Scott nodded, gesturing toward a chair placed next to his door. “You know,” he said softly, “we don’t have to do this.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helen Adler sighed softly as she slowly took a seat, her eyes measuring the distance between her chair and the one Brad now occupied on the other side of the room. Seemingly satisfied with what she saw, she shook her head. “Yes,” she said softly, “we do.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Helen's Journey 3: More Therapy</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey-3-more-therapy/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/helens-journey-3-more-therapy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="helensjourney2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Helen&amp;rsquo;s Journey 2: Therapy Begins&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 3: More Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Does it have to be behind my back?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helen Adler craned her neck, struggling to watch as Bradley Scott connected the cuffs encircling her wrists. Satisfied that her wrists were securely restrained, he moved to stand in front of her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Something wrong?” he asked softly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is how he had me tied,” Helen responded, a slight catch in her voice.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>His Little Beauty</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/his-little-beauty/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/his-little-beauty/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Hello, my beauty.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smiling, she began her reply, then stopped as she saw His eyebrow begin
to rise. Flushed with shame, silently berating herself for forgetting
His wishes, she slipped quickly into His lap before smiling shyly up into
His eyes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hello, Sir.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, He simply gazed at her, then He smiled and drew her to
Him, cradling her gently in His arms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Much better, hon,” He said in His gentle voice. “you’re learning.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Part One&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At long last, the day had arrived. In the palace, men cursed and sweated as they moved heavy, ornate furniture, while women and girls dashed about, cleaning and dusting nearly anything that wasn&amp;rsquo;t moving. In the kitchen, the great ovens, cold for the first time in years, now echoed with the sounds of shovels and rakes removing piles of ash and partially burnt wood. Over all hung the smells of cleaners and fresh paint.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Two&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Are you harmed?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sabelina shook her head slightly, barely moving her mane of raven hair. &amp;ldquo;You?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Isolda&amp;rsquo;s head shook just as slightly. &amp;ldquo;These ropes are very tight, though.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Isolda sat at the base of a tree, her ankles crossed and bound together with rough cord. With her arms bent behind her and bound forearm to forearm, she could only squirm fitfully. Sabelina wore identical bonds, as did Emeric. Emeric, however, remained clothed, while the two women sat naked.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 3</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Three&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With their bonds removed, the three captives rode with somewhat greater comfort, despite the swaying of the wagon. After a time, Isolda dozed off. From the other seat, Emeric watched as she lay with her head pillowed in Sabelina&amp;rsquo;s lap. There was a strangely gentle look in Sabelina&amp;rsquo;s eyes as her hand gently stroked the other woman&amp;rsquo;s hair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Your Highness&amp;hellip;.&amp;rdquo; Sabelina glanced up, her eyes suddenly flashing. At this, Emeric paused. &amp;ldquo;You seem to care for her greatly,&amp;rdquo; he finally said.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 4</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Four&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Are we safe here?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of answering, Balian gazed around him. In the two days since the rescue, the party had crept on foot through the forests, avoiding Uthrancian patrols. Only a few hours had passed since they had crossed the border into wild, unsettled northern Iznia. Throughout, Balian had kept his men on the alert, refusing to relax his guard even once they&amp;rsquo;d crossed the border. Now, after a careful examination of the area, he finally turned his attention to Sabelina&amp;rsquo;s question.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 5</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-5/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-5/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming4.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part Five&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What now?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Emeric stood over the body of the dead soldier, captured sword clenched in one fist. Blood oozed from a deep slash on his arm as he gazed across the body toward Balian.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Now,&amp;rdquo; Balian replied, &amp;ldquo;you run. Landsedge Farm is that way. Take the women, keep them safe. We&amp;rsquo;ll see about giving you the time to get there.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From where they stood, the sounds of fighting grew louder, Uthrancian soldiers forcing Balian&amp;rsquo;s small force to fall back. Close by, disheveled and clutching their own bloodstained blades, Sabelina and Isolda stood panting. Their running battle, which by now had lasted nearly an hour, had spared none of them.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Homecoming 6: Silent Witness</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-6-silent-witness/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/homecoming-6-silent-witness/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="homecoming5.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homecoming 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Think you&amp;rsquo;ll be able to keep up this time?&amp;rdquo; Seated comfortably in her saddle, the willowy blonde grinned at her companion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll show you keep up,&amp;rdquo; her companion replied, settling herself with equal ease into her own saddle. &amp;ldquo;It was only luck you beat me last time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The blonde laughed. &amp;ldquo;I was lucky,&amp;rdquo; she said, &amp;ldquo;lucky you decided to wear loose clothes.&amp;rdquo; Cupping her hands over her smallish breasts, she glanced pointedly at her companion&amp;rsquo;s decidedly larger pair. &amp;ldquo;All of that bouncing around couldn&amp;rsquo;t have been good for your balance.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jane Times Five</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/jane-times-five/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/jane-times-five/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&amp;rsquo;s Note&amp;quot; This story was inspired by a set of private messages exchanged on the forum between myself and Lady Jane.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ladies, I&amp;rsquo;ll be gone for three days this time, so you&amp;rsquo;ll be taking care of things until I get back. I know you&amp;rsquo;re already familiar with your jobs, but let&amp;rsquo;s go over them, just to make sure.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kira</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/kira/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/kira/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Glaring, she watched the man enter the dungeon. Moving with the grace of absolute confidence, he strode across the dank room to stand before her as she stood chained to the wall. His eyes moved over her body, taking in the long, toned legs, flaring thighs, wide hips, trim waist, and large, firm breasts. When his eyes rose to meet hers, she saw no lust there, only curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I am Darin,” he said, “King of this land. You snuck into my palace to kill me.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kira 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/kira-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/kira-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="kira.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kira&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Beautiful, isn&amp;rsquo;t it?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, Your Majesty, it is.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Darin frowned. &amp;ldquo;Your Majesty? So should I call you General?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kira glanced toward him. &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo; She shook her head. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m sorry, my mind wasn&amp;rsquo;t here. And yes, it is very beautiful.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two rode together through a lightly forested area. Between the trees, wildflowers were in full bloom, filling the air with their color and scent. This ride had been Darin&amp;rsquo;s idea. Now, looking over at his companion, he wondered if even this scenery could help.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Laura Loses... And Wins</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/laura-loses...-and-wins/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/laura-loses...-and-wins/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Shall we begin?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glancing at the chair, Laura hesitated, but a bet was a bet.  Slowly, she settled into the chair, smooth wood cold against the bare backs of her thighs.  The vertical slats on the back of the chair rose to just above her head.  She wondered where Tina had found this old relic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Tina bustled around her, Laura thought about the events that had led her to this.  Last weekend, watching a movie, they’d laughed at a scene of a girl tied to a chair.  The rope work hadn’t even been remotely believable, leading Laura to comment that all such bondage was fake.  Tina had responded by betting that she could tie Laura to a chair with one rope, and Laura would not be able to escape.  After some prodding, Laura had agreed, and here she was.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mary's Revelation</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Mary Jenkins glanced around as she entered the mess hall, then nodded her satisfaction.  It was time for the midday meal, and her crew was already there waiting for her.  All but one, and it was this one omission that led to her satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was bad enough that she’d been sent to this god-forsaken place to do her research.  A small outpost deep in the wastes of northern Alaska was far from her first choice, but the government people pulling the strings had decided that her work was important enough to be kept secret.  In a way, she could understand that, but did they have to saddle her with a freak as well?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mary's Revelation 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="marys_revelation.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mary&amp;rsquo;s Revelation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)_&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Part Two&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mary Jenkins roses from her chair with a soft sigh.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I’ll be in my quarters if I’m needed,” she told her small crew.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In her quarters, Mary settled herself into her comfortable chair. Closing her eyes, she tried to relax, trying also not to think about something that had been on her mind all too much these past two days. It was as if she could still feel his hand clasping her wrists, his other hand covering her mouth. The sheer helplessness of those moments still resonated strongly in her, even now, causing a twinge in parts of her she refused to accept.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mary's Revelation 3</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/marys-revelation-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="marys_revelation2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mary&amp;rsquo;s Revelation 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)_&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Part Three&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“What’s so funny?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mary Jenkins had just finished relating the story of her humiliation in college, and now the sight of a slight smile on Brian Parks’ face brought the beginnings of an angry flush to her face. If he thought her story was in some way funny…….&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“What? Oh, no, it’s nothing like that, I promise.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Then why were you smiling?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Actually, I was enjoying a mental image of you in just your garter belt and stockings. A very nice image, I might add.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Never Dick With A Goddess</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/never-dick-with-a-goddess/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/never-dick-with-a-goddess/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;For Richard, it started out as a normal Friday night. Sitting on his usual stool at the bar, knocking back drinks with his friends, and checking out the action. Basically, the same as every Friday night before. Until they came in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;They&amp;rdquo; were a couple Richard had never seen before. The man was nothing special, at least in Richard&amp;rsquo;s eyes. Tall, muscular, with a face some women might find attractive. Still, he&amp;rsquo;d seen a hundred others just like the guy. Richard dismissed him after a single glance.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Passing the Baton</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/passing-the-baton/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/passing-the-baton/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part One&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica Monroe was smiling
as she entered her lab. Carefully,
she placed a medium sized box onto her lab table, then quickly divested herself
of her coat. Opening the box, she
withdrew what appeared to be a rolled up wad of wrinkled rubber. Jessica knelt and unrolled the wad, revealing it to be a deflated sex
doll. Attaching a pump, Jessica
quickly inflated the doll, then rose. From
her pocket, she withdrew an object that resembled a fountain pen. Pointing it at the doll, she thumbed a button on the object&amp;rsquo;s side.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Playtime</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/playtime/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/playtime/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;knock. knock.
As you stand waiting at the door, you look nervously down at the outfit
you so carefully picked out. It looked great when you put it on,
but now you wonder if you made a mistake. No matter, it’s too late
to go back and change, you tell yourself, steeling yourself and standing
straight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The door opens, and He’s standing there, looking at you with a patient,
amused expression. Your nerves seem to go into overdrive, and it’s
all you can do to keep yourself from running as He steps back and gestures
you to enter.
The room is just like you remember, slightly cluttered, but airy.
His computer is on, floating bondage images moving and shifting on the
screen. At His gesture, you seat yourself in one of the chairs in
the room, watching as He spins the chair in front of the computer so He
can sit facing you.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rick &amp; Mike</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/rick-mike/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/rick-mike/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“You can do what?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rick stared at Mike in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I can change people,” Mike replied. “Anyone I want, in any way I want.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yeah, right. Have you been dipping into your dad’s wine cabinet again?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m serious,” Mike insisted. “I can make any change I can imagine. Why do you think I stopped wearing glasses?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rick shrugged. “You got contacts,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sophira</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/sophira/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/sophira/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Your Majesty, I must protest….”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Enough.” Sophira, recently ascended to the throne, sighed. “My decision is made I will accept no further arguments on the matter.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Your father would not rule so.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sophira sighed again. “I,” she said, “am not my father. And I will not base my rule on what I might think he would do, but on what I think is best for my people. All of my people, Korza, not just you and the other noble families.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sophira 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/sophira-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/sophira-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="sophira.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sophira&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I take it you know who I am.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stunned by the identity of her captor, Sophira struggled uselessly in her bonds. Beside her, she could feel Jenna, her maid, stiffen at the sound of the man’s voice. The young Queen glared at the man standing over her, lithe body twisting as she fought uselessly to free herself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It would seem,” the man said thoughtfully, “that I got more than I bargained for.” As he spoke, Sophira noticed that his eyes remained locked on hers, ignoring the sight of her naked body stretched helplessly before him. Leaning past her, he untied the rope binding Jenna’s arms behind her.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Babe Bomb</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-babe-bomb/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-babe-bomb/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Major will see you now.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;About time.&amp;rdquo; Rising from his chair James Watson strode towards the door leading to Major Franklin&amp;rsquo;s private office. Stepping in, he glared at the major.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What in hell,&amp;rdquo; he asked coldly, &amp;ldquo;do you think you were doing?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Professor Watson,&amp;rdquo; Franklin replied smoothly, &amp;ldquo;I always know precisely what I&amp;rsquo;m doing. I do what needs to be done.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;And that includes breaking into my lab?

&lt;p&gt;Janine smiled as she gazed on the device in front of her.  As usual, her slave had done a wonderful job.  If, she thought, it actually worked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The device in question seemed simple enough.  A padded board rested at a 45 degree angle.  Near each corner, a lined leather loop emerged.  A fifth loop, about two thirds of the way up, held a penis gag.  Further down, three small trap doors were visible.  Below the bottom straps, a board extended from the pad.  A mirror mounted in the ceiling allowed anyone laying on the pad to see their reflection.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Thief and The Bounty Hunter</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-thief-and-the-bounty-hunter/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-thief-and-the-bounty-hunter/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“PHANTOM FEM STRIKES AGAIN!” The
headline screamed up at Victoria Swann as she sat down for breakfast. Taking up a slice of dry toast, she munched as she read the story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Police in London are investigating the theft
of the recently unearthed Moonstone Ruby from the British Museum last night. The gem, discovered last month during an archeological dig at the site
of an old Roman site north of London, is the largest shaped ruby yet
discovered. Police spokespersons
have declined to speculate as to the identity of the theft, but sources within
the department report the discovery at the scene of a silk scarf marked with
lipstick, the signature of the Phantom Fem. This makes the seventh museum theft by the mysterious Phantom Fem, and
authorities in five countries seem to be no closer to catching this elusive
thief than they were after her first theft.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Undercover</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/undercover/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/undercover/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Joseph Mackenzie definitely had it made. Well, mostly. Ok, so he didn&amp;rsquo;t have the money of the guys at the top, but he definitely had more than the ones at the bottom. And maybe he didn&amp;rsquo;t have the power of those higher ups, but he could and did exercise his authority over those lower than himself. Also, he might not have all those women all over him, doting on him in a pretense of love, but he could afford to rent the next best thing. So, yeah, Joey Mack had it made. Mostly.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Understanding</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/understanding/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/understanding/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Friday night can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s the end of the work week, a chance to get away from the job for a while. For others, the beginning of the weekend means a chance to party, to see and be seen, or simply a chance to relax. In the James home, Friday night meant an argument. Always.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why not?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad James sighed. It was the same thing every week. Jenny wanted to go clubbing with her friends, and Brad always said no. And always for the same reason.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Voodoo</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Finally, the wait was over. After months of preparation, followed by weeks of waiting, the package had arrived. As he began to cut the tape, Bill thought back on the events that had led him here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jenny was the kind of woman any man would die for. Long toned legs, tight ass, large, firm tits, all topped by the face of a model. Thoughts of her had filled Bill’s mind from the day she’d come to work in the same office. It had taken him months to build up the nerve to talk to her, more months to gain the courage to ask her out. The results had been less than satisfactory.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Voodoo</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="voodoo2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voodoo 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hello?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jenny smiled at the silence that greeted her. She knew Bill would be at work, but better safe than sorry. Slipping inside, she carefully locked the door. She had four hours, and she meant to be ready.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taking the supplies she’d brought with her, Jenny quickly explored the house. Once satisfied that she was familiar with the place, she moved to the bedroom and set her things down. Time to get to work.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Voodoo 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/voodoo-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="voodoo.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voodoo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monday morning, and Bill was a nervious wreck. It had been just over a week since his voodoo adventure with Jenny, and today she was due to return to work. With her temper, it was hard telling what she would do. Bill was actually surprised that she hadn’t called the cops on him, despite the probability that nobody would believe her about what had happened.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Who Owns Who</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/who-owns-who/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/who-owns-who/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Well? Tell me you have something this time.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leaning back in her chair, Laura Spalding gazed at the five men standing in front of her. Together, these men formed the research and development department of her small but very profitable company, FashionMax. Specializing in the unusual, Laura had made a name, and a fortune, catering to the fetish crowd. Now, she waited news on what could well be her crowning achievement.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>William &amp; Mary</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/william-mary/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/william-mary/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Hello, Conrad. What brings you here today?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conrad Stodt, head of security for Earth Defense Intelligence, smiled tiredly as he shook William McDonald’s hand. “We need to talk, my friend,” he said simply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nodding, William led the way into the house. As he followed, Conrad watched the play in his host’s arms as he maneuvered the wheelchair around obstacles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“When are you going to get a real chair?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;William smiled. “This one is real,” he replied. “Besides, it’s good exercise.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Incoming message from Henry Wills.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conrad Stodt frowned. Wills was head of security for Generosity Station. A veteran of the American CIA before Unification, Wills had never seemed comfortable serving under the leadership of a former BND officer. Still, he had adapted to the changing face of security, unlike so many others, rising quickly to his own position of authority.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Chief?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

frowned as she made her way through the production area.
As production manager, she always made it a point to go through after the

properly shut down.
Not
that there was much to check. The
plant was a small operation, making custom stands and hangers.
Thus, the only real equipment consisted of saws and drills, benders and
shapers. And the wrapper.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
