Tristan awoke from a wonderful rest; the events of last night did not even faze him. The Duke's castle was very grand, Tristan thought. His bed was made of silk, and his room was adorned with gold. He heard a knock on his door. "The Duke wants to see you." Tristan heard the voice and recognized it as one of the guards. He followed the guard down the hallwa...
I know I must have paused a bit, because Ranger asked again if I was ok. Think fast, MorningStar, you don't want to sound too anxious but you don't want to blow the chance of meeting him face to face either.....least that's what I kept telling myself.

In the early hours of Friday evening the airport was packed with life, some arriving, some departing, and some there to greet a business associate or loved one. John, however, was willing to bet that none of the gate's other occupants were there for quite t...
"Mayday! Mayday! We're losing power! Mayday!" It was tense in the chartered Twin Otter, a reliable aircraft that had flown many similar routes in its life. This flight was taking it over the vast Landes forest on the way from San Marino to the beaches at Mimizan on the Gold Coast of France. But the Atlantic was still a long way off. Here there were only tre...

He awoke from his long nap when the plane touched down, and felt his stomach tingle. It wasn't from the landing, though: after several months of chatting with his Goddess, today was the day he would meet Her. He shifted in his seat, the butt-plug becoming uncomfortable after several hours' wear, and waited impatiently for the plane to taxi to the walkway whi...
