In 1199, King Richard the Lion-Hearted lay dying in France. He commanded his lover, Sir David of Doncaster, to protect his small son by any means necessary. Marion Fitzroy, princess of the blood on the wrong side of the blankets, now lives a constrained life in Nottingham castle, dreaming of her childhood betrothed, the son of the Earl of Locksley. As the Barons' War rages around her uncle King John, her dispossessed fiance-now called Robin Hood-and his merry irregulars make life miserable for Phillip, the sheriff of Nottingham. And fires Marion's blood. Robin, for his part, is about to learn the secret that Marion guards with her life. Thwarting Phillip's gambits for Marion's hand, a doubled price on his head, even shooting for an arrow of pure gold all pale next to the pleasures to be had under Marion's skirts, deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest. But Marion is no ordinary woman, no ordinary princess. In fact, her body isn't a woman's at all.
Food - where does it come from and what do we "really" experience when we eat? Meet a young man who has designed a way to enhance that experience, taking us all the way back to the food source. But do the delicious food sensations mask a terrible secret? This short story is part of a series of stories showcasing the choices we humans make as we come to grapple with our vicious and violent, kind and caring, eminently changeable nature.
You know how the saying goes: turnabout is fair play. That means it's time for boyfriend to bend over. These four stories all feature women who might not wear the pants in the relationship, but who do take a turn wearing the cock. Whether it's the woman taking a turn receiving a blow job or otherwise taking charge in the bedroom, once you slide on a strap-on, power dynamics change. And that's just what these tales examine, with all the steamy consequences. Zara's husband David, one of the twin heads of a premier biotech company, may not quite be what he seems. His violent history, long suppressed with a neural implant, is re-emerging in strange ways, and he-or his twin brother-may be "Double...
Be it forced seduction/dubious consent, non-violent intimidation, or pre-negotiated fantasy, there is something wickedly taboo about non-consensual sex, where consent is muddled. While rape is a crime of power, focusing on exerting physical control over another person, non-con is all about the gray area where verbal consent is either never given (not a 'yes', but not a 'no' either) or doesn't match the arousal and passion both parties share during the act. In "Like It or Not," we push the boundaries of consent without fully breaking them. When Connor's rent money is due and not even hooking can make up the shortfall, he really is "Out of Options." So when playboy Jarrett makes him a very gen...

When trouble comes in the form of an organized militia looking to experiment, Liam must put his trust where he never expected -- in the hands of a human. Koit is a Shterpi, a reptilian alien with a reputation for womanizing. A dare from a friend has Koit changing his target to other men, and he finds that variety really is ...
