The forest was as quiet as a nighttime marsh that had just witnessed a murder. Nevyn finished putting on his blue jay mask, trying to stay calm. The voice had come from just behind him, and not far off at all. A complaint about the mask, which almost made him smile. The dryad had gotten the drop on him, and she'd used it to object to him covering his face....
Whenever I read, I keep a pencil handy and I underline words that I don't know and dog ear the page so that I can go back and look them up in the dictionary. I have always been interested in etymology and even took Latin for three years. I hope that these words can help all of us in our writings. Be sure to check out your dictionary for additional usages of...
This is the last part of my second trilogy. The format is the same. The hybrid is similar to my first trilogy. ***** The maintenance man's name was Dan, he was also a magician. He had been given real magical powers, by an old witch that he had helped, while on holiday in the Balkans. He was of average height and slim, with short brown hair and blue eyes....
Back in the kitchen, Bobby was steaming. He pounced before Dean was fully in the room, slinging the discarded Henley at his chest. "I can think of only two reasons you let her slide without passing the smell test, and they both start with Double-D." "Jesus, Bobby. She was hurt in the line of work. It was a professional courtesy." "Professional courtesy, m...
Yumi bounced through the forest, giggling as she went. The nymphs' defenses so far had been, well, a joke. Three emerald-skinned women lying in a big old pitcher plant, blowing her kisses and cooing for her to join them. Their pheromones had been intoxicating. So had their bodies—absurdly sexual, just the way Yumi liked them, with big, gigantic, soft boobs,...
In the morning, lying entangled with Ephenome, Orren realized his collarbone was sore. He craned his neck trying to see it and it looked like there was something there, beyond the mark Neive had left. "I named you as a druid." She said to him. "But I already was..." "Yes. Now you have my mark as well." He didn't argue with her - what was the point? A dr...
The hegoreinak took a few fast steps, building up speed, before spreading its wings and lifting of the ground. Lisa held on tightly to Amelandiel sitting in front of her on the winged deer. It felt dangerous, as she didn't have the ability to hold on to the animal, but wrapping her legs around Ame's waist to leave the animal with enough room to move the wing...
Note: This story contains elements of domination, drugged/mind controlled nonconsent, lesbian sex, and gangsters. "There is no need for them to remember any of it," Pellesise said, chuckling. The elf took a little puff from the hookah pipe and passed it on. "What putty in our claws. Humans!" "Aw, what a shame." Illetris gave a half-joking pout. "I was ho...
Valentine's Day. Pssh. It's nothing but a commercial holiday that corporate shills push upon couples in order to sell chocolates and diamonds, while simultaneously making the single feel even worse about being without their "Mr. or Miss Right." If I see another "He got it from [enter whatever store wants your money]" commercial, I'm liable to go mental on...
