"Take a seat, Amelia," Mr. Baas smiled. Amelia, his secretary -- who these days went by the grand title of Personal Assistant -- sat opposite her boss, voice-recorder at the ready so she wouldn't miss any of his instructions. "You can turn that off, Amelia," Baas said, "I just want to know how things are going with you, and your job here. Give it to me, pl...
The following is a complete work of fiction inspired by Roman history, with a strong fantasy aspect for the use of artistic license. The original story which was previously posted on Literotica has been revamped. The idea of intrigue, betrayal and a power struggle is the still the same. However, changing from a Roman setting to a FANTASY setting allowed me t...
Interlude III Flesh and Flexibility The Black Boar was an inn located on the fringes of the city's outskirts, filling an obtuse little plot of land sandwiched between two hills owned by rich nobles who, despite their best efforts, hadn't managed to convince the owner to hand over the deed to either one. It was probably because of the location; the crossro...
It was a much different crew than last time. Unlike the Johnson, Gina discovered that she was one of three women on board. Besides herself, there was the captain and the doctor.

"Now there's something you don't see often," Aqua says stepping to my side. "Did they just make me their boss?" I ask. "More like an owner or household god," Aqua says with a giggle.

CHAPTER 16 I was on review and advised that I did not have permission to execute any warrants. Instead, requests from the media poured in. This was unexpected, but what surprised me even more was the emotion coming from Ezra. It wasn't extreme by any means, but it was for Ezra. Regardless of the lack of healthy sleep, every morning I had the opportunity to...

Possibly the best known is its cousin the Tasmanian devil, with his knife and fork in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. This story concentrates on the Tasmanian tiger, now extinct, and their still living cousins the Tasmanian devil. Being marsupials they bear no...
Saban "You're sure it's the demon lord you've found?" asked Anita. Evona's image in the mirror nodded. "He's got several other demons with him." "You're probably right, then," I agreed. "Demons generally only spend time in groups when there is a lord to keep them from killing each other." I thought of my own subjects, and for the first time in a while,...
Everyone appeared back with Jake in his rather large room. Still weak but recovering he collapsed on the bed. "She almost won, by taking me and my body! I thank what ever power it was that allowed me to resist her like I did." Amira and Jake's four Jinns smiled as Amira softly and gently caressed Jake's face. "Master Jake, it is as Rashala said.
