Roughly Handled
Amanda / Carol / Garth / Laura When I got home from work, Carol wasn't home. It's not all that strange, but these breaks in routine are noticeable because that's what they are. Deviations from the regular flow of our lives. Carol was usually home...
Virtual Prey
You settle on the couch, and it wraps around you, snuggling every contour of your body. It makes tiny adjustments to angle and firmness, until it feels like you're not actually laying on anything, just floating. Part of that may be assisted by the...
What's Ado?
Locker rooms all look the same, after a while. Harriet would know, she'd been in a lot of them through her career. Rugby wasn't quite as high-profile as football or hockey or basketball, but it still got asses in seats, and that had been enough to get...
Magic Panties, part 1
"Seriously? It's 2218, Margaret. We've pretty much conclusively disproven magic, aside from Clarke's Law." Margaret chuckled and held out the brown paper wrapped package to Ann. "So what do you care if it's actual magic or just technology too advanced...
Performance Review
Kuroko was actually sitting behind his desk, and Janice was relatively sure that was the first time she'd seen him there. Usually he perched on a corner or sat in one of the chairs along the wall. The more formal posture was a little unnerving. There...
Magic Panties, Party Two
Magic Panties, Party Two Somarin, Marla, Lydia and Arken belong to themselves and their respective creators. Story and other characters belong to me. Margaret survived Ann's anger, which was somewhat tempered by not being able to walk straight...
Borrowed Gear
Most of the dorm towers had at least one bar in them. The social benefits of a communal watering hole on a community as large as the towers were well documented. As dense as the towers tended to be, there was a paradoxical need for private space and a...
Jackie Assists
J was never a morning person by choice. Their public persona had bright eyes and a bushy tail, as red pandas usually did, but they tried not to do any of that before noon as a matter of principle. They tended to stay up and/or out late, and sleeping...
Masquerade Doll
"Please tell me again why I have to be the one holding the leash this time?" "Because, oh littlest foxy, it will draw attention and that's what we want." Icon gave a sour grimace, but couldn't argue the point very well. Arguing with his boss was...
Nicky September and the Russian Widow
It figured that I'd get stuck in a position like this. You have to be careful of the pretty ones, and even more careful when they're drop dead gorgeous. Easy to get blinded by the body and miss the mind. So when she showed up on my doorstep looking for...
Vibe Wars 3: Something about a Rope Tie
I was instantly suspicious of the message. Not that it was going to be malware or a scam, but if my girlfriend was sending me videos while I was still at work, there was no way they were going to be safe to look at. We have a great relationship now,...
Ghost Hands
"So just sign here, here, and initial here." Laura did as directed, then poked Larry in the chest. "I already signed a million waivers when I joined the company to enroll in the Desire department in the first place. Why do I need another round for...
