I want to give a big thanks to Seabass for editing this chapter. *** Vicky and Jessie left the Howard and Hart legal firm feeling exhausted and exhilarated, amazed that the meeting with Megan went so well. After the girls had cleaned up, Megan assured them that she'd start working on the paperwork for their trust immediately and would update them as soon a...
"The Director will see you now, Captain." Captain Rhoelt swallowed, downed the rest of their tea, and set the cup aside. They locked eyes with the clerk—a blonde woman with narrow spectacles and a too-bright smile—and nodded, rising to their feet. "Very good, then." They followed the clerk to the office door. The Captain of the Silver Knights spared one gl...
The Amazon Jungle, the largest tropical rainforest that compromises almost half of Brazil, also houses an abandoned base amidst the high humidity and temperatures. The Brotherhood of Evil once used it to create a battery of sorts to power their 'Quantum Generator', a machine capable of creating black holes! A destructive power of the cosmos was in their lead...
Narlissa Quickhands, half-elf and master thief, sat low on her horse as it sped through the wilderness. She always made sure she picked mounts that were sure-footed in thick woodland because she very rarely took main roads. As a thief she spent half her time quickly escaping a target and she didn't want to make her journey on paths that might mean she was ea...
She slept for days afterwards. Sometimes, if I stood in the kitchen and listened intently, I could hear the gentle swishing of the fur as it flopped and wriggled about in her meditation room. The second morning after she feasted on that helpless but ecstatic young man I went to see her. I tingled all over as I opened the carved wooden door to her chamber....
There was too much water. Snatch understood, intellectually, that he was at the bottom of a vast ocean, sealed within dark, twisting vaults suffused with magic that somehow kept the rest of the ocean at bay, rendering narrowly survivable what had to be the third-worst dungeon crawl he'd ever embarked on since becoming an adventurer. Still. It was really, r...
Holly lay there for a minute, slowly redressing. As she sat up, she finally saw me in the other room. Making no effort to cover up and still caressing the amulet, she asked how much I had seen. "The whole thing!" I said, walking up to her. "You two put on quite a show! In fact, I found it quite arousing. Oh, don't worry, I won't be reprimanding you for cavo...

It was almost nine when Clara left the mansion to go on her morning run. This time, she deliberately slowed her pace. Clara loathed doing anything half-hearted, but it was only by sheer luck that nobody had noticed her running at super-human speeds last time. She couldn't risk anyone discovering her secret, and besides, she had a lot to think about. Surpris...
CH 4. Time to talk. I woke very early the next morning, and saw the beauty sleeping next to me. Ariadne had used my shoulder as a pillow. I knew there was no way I could sneak out without waking her up, and decided my morning exercises were not more important than letting her sleep. I checked if the blanket still covered her body, and quickly drifted off ag...
