&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip;Once the Xlant was safely under way the captain came down himself to collect my shipping container, he got an eyeful as he opened the top and looked down at my bound and naked form. His position over my own exemplified our relative size difference, and while he was larger in the flesh than on the bridge&amp;rsquo;s view screen, he wasn&amp;rsquo;t so big as to be inhuman to me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What's the matter?</title><link>/stories/2018/12/15/whats-the-matter/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/12/15/whats-the-matter/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s the matter? or The Tugging!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="jane"&gt;Jane&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ship was ancient, even by The Empire&amp;rsquo;s standards. Yet more startling than its age, was that it was still active. Its computer systems lived, its air circulated, the hull whole. After millions of years lost, adrift, even the hull should decay due to the very half life of its atoms, but no. The hull was hale and healthy, it even shined with a gleam of newness. Hell, even the lavatory was clean.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Intruder</title><link>/stories/2018/11/04/intruder/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/11/04/intruder/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;SciFi, Alien, BDSM, M/F, Spanking, Bullwhip, Oral, Anal&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;An Intruder takes over Starship Invincible for some BDSM fun.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Star Council Starship Invincible is exploring the furthest reaches of the galaxy when it encounters a unique lifeform which takes over the bodies of the crew members. The female crew members are bound naked to various BDSM devices. The male crew members are then forced to do what many males would do normally when presented with bound, squirming, extremely turned on females.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maeve glared at Patty. “What have you done?” she said. “Can’t you see? You’ll destroy yourself with that poison.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Fuck you. You can’t do a thing. It’s made me stronger than you. Craine… You think that it’s just another ero-drug? You never were that smart for a detective, were you?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What is it then Patty? Why don’t you tell me?” Maeve glanced behind her. Flora was still there, embedded in the goo.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A Budding Film Star</title><link>/stories/2018/06/01/a-budding-film-star/</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2018/06/01/a-budding-film-star/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Stephanie had been the star of drama school, getting the
highest honours possible, however her career in films was not moving
quite in the direction she desired. Ironically being 22, blonde, very
pretty and exceedingly big breasted, meant all she seemed to get was
offers to work in adult movies which wasnt what she wanted to do. Don&amp;rsquo;t
get me wrong she was no prude, but she just wanted to get herself a
meaningful acting career.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>K-Agent</title><link>/stories/2017/12/04/k-agent/</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/12/04/k-agent/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Mark Sorenson typed furiously, trying to complete the document prior to his 10:30 meeting. His subordinates kept trying to convince him that it would be faster if he simply dictated and let the computer do the work of getting it down into letters and words, but he was “old school”.  While voice recognition had come a long way he still preferred to do it himself.  “Old fashion” they call him.  That’s okay, at least he knows that what gets written was really what he wanted to say, and not what the computer thought it heard. He was proud of being ‘old fashion’ in other areas.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet</title><link>/stories/2017/08/04/you-aint-seen-nothin-yet/</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/08/04/you-aint-seen-nothin-yet/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sci-Fi, Strip Tease, Weird, Hermaphrodite, Non-Consensual, Even Weirder, Sexual Combat,&lt;/p&gt;

A spacer learns the universe is stranger than he thought.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two parts to the story. The first describes a very unusual strip tease in a strange club on a remote planet. The second is an old space pirate’s tale of an even stranger sexual ritual on a planet so far away that it is no longer in Terran space.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>I Hate My Job</title><link>/stories/2017/05/04/i-hate-my-job/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/05/04/i-hate-my-job/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Carly, a bio-sentient computer assistant, hates her job.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This story is weird, fairly mild, and set in the distant future where semi-autonomous computers run complex mining and manufacturing stations on large asteroids orbiting various solar systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The story starts rather slowly in order to set up the world in which Carly lives. Its category is somewhere between machine and auto-erotic and will probable appeal primarily to geekettes and those who love geekettes&amp;hellip; or perhaps those who love those from Sol-15 who have blue skin.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beyond Gravity's Pull</title><link>/stories/2016/09/08/beyond-gravitys-pull/</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2016/09/08/beyond-gravitys-pull/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dr. Wells lay in her improvised seat aboard the Soyuz capsule grinning from ear to ear. It had taken her years to get to this: the college work, application to the space program, the astronaut training. And now here she was, strapped into position aboard the Soyuz which had just docked with the International Space Station.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the hatch opened, the three other cosmonauts unlatched their belts and floated freely about the cabin. Wells had to wait. She was in a special fourth seat configuration, which she was told, had never been used before. It was so exciting to be making history!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contact</title><link>/stories/2015/07/14/contact/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/07/14/contact/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The data probe from Contact Ship A37 is brought back to Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wrote this sci-fi fantasy / romance for a geekette friend of mine. It is almost non-erotic and is a story of first contact between Earth and a distant planet inhabited by creatures so different from humanity that communication is impossible&amp;hellip; until contact is created.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ship's Queen 5</title><link>/stories/2015/06/19/the-ships-queen-5/</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2015/06/19/the-ships-queen-5/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="shipsqueen4.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ship&amp;rsquo;s Queen 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Five&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, I had served with them once, why do you ask?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It would violate a confidence if I were to tell you sir.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t want to inform on the muscular cargo man Mr. Kane, and what I thought was his rather unique form of sailor torture porn starring me getting whipped while strung up in a similar fashion. It made me wonder at the time how a cargo man could afford such an expensive device, and that in turn forced me to reflect on the Captains words in private with me about making a proper visit to Mr. Cook &amp;ldquo;in the flesh&amp;rdquo;. The implication was simple, I, (or at least my hologram), had already visited with him not in the flesh, just as I had already visited with Mr. Kane in much the same way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Welcome</title><link>/stories/2014/08/30/welcome/</link><pubDate>Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/08/30/welcome/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tim to Collins.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Collins.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Captain, we&amp;rsquo;re just about done here, about to head to sector D14.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Copy. Anything interesting?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;No ma&amp;rsquo;am, just more of the same, predominantly poppies.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Copy.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hey! It&amp;rsquo;s 2400, happy birthday! The big 3 0, woohoo! I know we&amp;rsquo;re not on schedule, but maybe we could grab a little quality time when you get back&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In another time and place that would be insubordination, but in the space program sexual interaction among the crew was not only encouraged, it was required. In fact, sexual competency was considered a core function and ship crews were selected based on sexual compatibility. They changed partners regularly, according to the schedule, but often couples developed a special bond even if they were required to sleep with others.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Hostage Corp</title><link>/stories/2013/12/11/hostage-corp/</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/12/11/hostage-corp/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Are you going back to Tom?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marci Gotz didn’t answer her older sister at once. She closed her suitcase and applied her thumb to the thumb-locks, sealing it, before saying: “No, I’m not. I’m going to join the Hostage Corp, and neither you nor Tom will ever see me again.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jane sputtered. Marci brushed past her sister, suitcase in hand. “Are you nuts?” Jane finally managed when Marci reached the front door of the small rented house. “Tom is infinitely better than one of those blue beasts!”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sex in a Cold Climate</title><link>/stories/2012/06/08/sex-in-a-cold-climate/</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/06/08/sex-in-a-cold-climate/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The sound made by the hydraulics of a standard maintenance hatch as it split into two halves and opened should have been something so common to him that it passed without notice. Jack had been on Gagarin 1 for such an extended period of time that the unique sound was as commonplace to him as birdsong to those who lived planetside. But then the sound was not usually accompanied by so much anticipation or the same fear of discovery as it was on that particular night.&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. No record of anyone returning from there, and no large scale expeditions. I guess there’s not much there to interest the ones with the big money.”&lt;/p&gt;
&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. I know you won’t abort, but be very careful in there, SuperSport.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ship's Queen</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It wasn&amp;rsquo;t as if I had always wanted to go into deep space, but truth be told, I didn&amp;rsquo;t know what I wanted to do. I had tried several different careers first, all with little success, and my options were limited. I would never even have considered deep space if not for the suggestions of several of my friends. I still thought in terms of the &amp;ldquo;old days&amp;rdquo;, when deep space travel required suspended animation and decades away from family and friends, and of course the fact that many of those early ships just never came back to the present with the intricate nature of bending time. These same cargo runs could now be done in years instead of decades with the higher velocities modern ships could achieve, negating the need to fool with the fragile time space continuum, and that was somewhat more appealing to a young man like me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ship's Queen 2</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-2/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="shipsqueen.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ship&amp;rsquo;s Queen&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 was dismissed by the captain once he was through with me, and on the way back to sick bay I marveled at the situation I found myself in. I was initially excited to try out my new body, but I felt messy and used, a through shower would take care of the former, and the latter being exactly what I had asked for, so I really had no quarter to complain. Still the experience was less than satisfying physically, and I thought that if this was all that women got out of sex, why would they even bother.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ship's Queen 3</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="shipsqueen2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ship&amp;rsquo;s Queen 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;I left the cargo office still in need, but the image of my hologram being suspended and whipped haunted my every thought. It could be the ultimate offer of submission, the only question was if I could actually go through with it&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I walked in the direction of the engineering department, where the men who actually kept the Fortunate running at peak performance had their shop. The ship was relatively new compared to some of the junkers navigating deep space these days, and as a result not much ever seemed to need repair. The men spent their time doing maintenance, and helping out in other departments like cargo if needed. As a result the engineers had time to perform their jobs to exacting perfection, and time to devise some creative mischief as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Ship's Queen 4</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/the-ships-queen-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="shipsqueen3.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ship&amp;rsquo;s Queen 3&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;I was woken from my slumber by the intercom, it&amp;rsquo;s bell like ding weaving itself into my most unusual dream. In it I was home once again in the company of my young wife on planet, but dressed as a female maid and feeling not all that convincing in my costume. My best friend and her were entertaining at his large house like the couple they now apparently were, she ringing a hand bell with a tone matching the intercom&amp;rsquo;s to call me to service as they sat entwined with each other in casual intimacy. I was serving them as well as their guests whom I knew from my snack tray, it&amp;rsquo;s shinning surface reflecting my appearance back to me and confirming what all present already obviously knew. I was her husband dressed as their maid, and failing terribly at the effort. That in fact seemed the whole point, a commonly known secret on display at the party if you will, with the added implication that this would be the extent of my contribution to our evolved relationship&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
