"Mmm," Veronica Franco's naked back glowed in the dim light. Tendrils of curly hair escaped her tight bun, caught in the massage oil slathered over her neck. "That feels wonderful, my darling." Desirée applied more oil to her hands before massaging the hard knots just below the Guild Administrator's shoulders. Veronica sighed again, stretching her arms abov...
She had a Cheshire smile. It was meant for me and no one else in the crowded room. It made the bar lights dim as they considered the futility of their existence. It was a smile that kept secrets. She sat down beside me at a miraculously open stool. The working girls at the end of the bar wilted visibly; several looked like they were considering a career ch...
Diana was dumbfounded at the abrupt departure of Tyrone.

A larger shape loomed out of the darkness, an attack cruiser that would be more than a match for the tiny capsule if it was observed. The Fragme...
Anna was already awake and looking at me while I carried the terrified woman where she was sleeping just moments before. Her fur was slowly falling off, while her body rubbed against mine. The next few steps Anna herself came towards us and started to soothe the woman in my arms, making her calmer with each passing second; while doing so she noticed herself...
Bart Vasco was an asshole. Jackie Cooper, Science Officer aboard the cargo ship Key West, swore softly under her breath as she slipped the lightweight enviro-suit over her ship uniform. Ten hours dirtside on a planet that had never been recorded, much less identified, and she wasn't to leave the ship? Chances like this came across once in a lifetime, if tha...
The clattering sound wakes me up. I sit bolt upright in bed, because I know what it means. I'm going to be a character! After what happened yesterday though, I'm not surprised, but still, why me?
