Dare to Dominate by Claire Thompson

“Excuse me, I think you dropped this.”
The man turned around. So he understood English at least. Good start. Laurel held up the black wool scarf she had just unwound from her own neck. She’d followed the man to his hotel a few blocks from the club. The finest hotel in the area, she noted, as […]

The Collector 9: The Lost Temple of Karttikeya by Laura Baumbach

The antiquities shop looked like every other little storefront along the colorful, busy marketplace. It was a bit worn, the paint starting to fade and the front picture window a little dusty and smudged with fingerprints. The once dark green canopy over the open doorway was a paler shade of moss, frayed at the edges. […]

Masked Submission by Claire Thompson

“Good evening. Dylan, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Hi.” The stools on either side of Dylan were occupied. He controlled a sudden urge to push one of the occupants off their stool so Tomas might sit down.
Instead Tomas leaned down, saying softly to the man on his right, “Martin, would you mind terribly giving me your seat for […]

Magic and the Pagan by Mychael Black

Farther down the corridor, there was movement. Massive leathery wings the color of cinnamon brushed along the walls on either side of the…creature. Two giant horns protruded from its head, and when it turned to face Evan, a wide grin broke across the creature’s face, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. The creature’s gaze flickered to […]

Francine on Fire by Sloane Taylor

Francine slipped out the side door of the dining room when Heicke turned his back.  Less than confident, she walked alone across the silent, black golf course.  Her imagination played tricks as the tree branches swayed in the cool breeze, casting spidery images of boogie men in front of her.  She looked up at the […]

Viva Los Regalos: Beware The Fury by Lena Austin

Bastian stared regretfully at the ravaged beauty in the picture and pinned the photograph to the chart detailing River City’s latest serial killer’s M.O. His imagination could almost sense all the blood dripping from the board. She was his fifth addition to the list in as many months. One a month, precise as clockwork, they’d […]

Truest Treasure by Rayne Forrest

Zebadiah LaCroy refused to flinch under his captain’s steely gaze. He knew the regulations as well as anyone and he knew what he was asking. He also knew that exceptions were made every day. He pressed his new bride closer to his side to stop her from squirming. 
“She won’t be any trouble, sir. She understands […]

“What possessed me to do this?”
Seth chuckled and Robbie stared up at him.
“Something about lack of work in Baltimore, I recall.” Seth ruffled his fingers through Robbie’s hair. “Come on. Rise and shine.”
“It’s too damn early.” Robbie grumbled as he tossed back the covers.
“You’ll get used to it.” Seth gave him a grin and a […]

In Her Name by Esther Mitchell

“This region has many…ancient spirits.  They…feed upon the weaknesses that all people possess.  Most do little harm, but some are dangerous, even deadly.  It is my task to drive these spirits from the injured and ill.” He snorted and his gaze turned away from her.  Manara’s heart cracked at that motion, and knew her future was […]

Kitten’s Reward by Isabella Snow

Sliding the glass door closed behind her, Alexandra padded through the sunroom and headed for the kitchen. Off in the distance, the sound of clinking silverware filled the halls as a tiny voice squawked above the din. As she turned the corner, she paused at the sight before her. Gemma and Elsa were in the […]

Roughrider by Shawna Moore

Dawn’s first light shone through the sheers in the dining room. Even though Mike had been gone for almost five years, his place setting remained as always—including the beveled glass into which Consuela always poured his tomato juice at breakfast time.
I forced my eyelids open wide and snapped on the kitchen light. Tuesday morning already. […]

Night Lights by Melissa Glisan

“Swim with me, Maggie-Pie.” Fighting to keep her nose above the inky waves, Margaret paddled with all her might towards the voice that held her heart.
“Mama,” she sputtered as water surged into her mouth. Straining, she pulled through the choppy current and called again, “Mama wait for me, not so fast.” Stop whining, she gritted […]

“That infernal buzzing is driving me insane. Doesn’t she know we can fuck her better than any simulation device?” Johann Zcar cursed. He’d just passed Commander Jill Mahall’s quarters. The scent of her arousal and the sound of […]

Whispered Intent by Elle Emriche

Zoe said something, but Jenny couldn’t quite make out the words over the blaring music.  They’d gone on to Zoe’s favorite bar, but the place was so loud and smoky, it was giving Jenny a headache.  “What?” she called, leaning forward.
“I said I’m glad you came out tonight.  It’s about time,” Zoe said loudly and […]
