Prioress Gabrielle stalked the halls of River-of-the-Lilies Cathedral like a leopard out for prey. The news from her eyes and ears had been dire- Houses Amrien, Nessane and Oculi, all visited in turn by the king and the savages he called his royal guard. Although her spies confirmed that only Lord Oculi had been arrested and charged, all three have had their personal guards suddenly “volunteer for the Royal Army”. Amrien’s moronic trophy wife, Lady Nessane and her sheltered little brat were hauled off somewhere- likely the castle so the king could keep them as hostages.
The nun was still in the fullness of youth and beautiful to look at, with raven-dark hair and matching eyes, contrasting against her pale skin, and a shapely figure that her habit was not quite able to hide from the hungering eyes of the capital’s priests. Though she had kept true to her vows of chastity, Gabrielle was formerly a base orphan, raised on the streets, and thus knew well how easily the wicked hearts of men could be lead by a pretty face and a shapely body.
Rank and authority among the sisters was determined by age and piety, but with a seemingly native talent for politics and deceit, and the favour of the priests and bishops who did not quite dare to try and tempt her from God, Gabrielle ruled over spinsters and retired ladies alike in spite of her youth. Having grown up within the intrigue of the church, she knew it very well indeed, and until now had navigated it without fault or foul.
As Gabrielle moved through the halls, her face a thunderhead of barely-restrained fury, novices quailed from her, scattering out of her way. When she arrived at the door to cell, she clawed aggressively at the handle and then slammed it shut behind her. It had to have been that perfidious witch. The king had access to her at all times, and Gabrielle herself had warned their little conspiracy against trusting that pagan whore! And now, everything was falling apart like a paper parasol in the rain.
She reached into the armoire that all nuns were allowed to hod her spare clothing and what little grooming supplies they required, and tugged free the leather satchel that was hidden behind the layers of black fabric. She had packed the bag as a precaution, not truly believing that one day she would come to need it, but it contain civilian clothes- a simple homespun dress- some money, and handful of other things that Gabrielle would need to make good her escape. She was too important, and had too much authority for anyone within the cathedral to stop her, all she had to do was make her was to the edge of the grounds, where the ancient, crumbling wall sat low in the earth, change her clothes, and then...
She was startled out of her plans by a hammering upon her door. “Prioress Gabrielle!” came the muffled voice of her supposed superior, Bishop Mathys, “Open this door! King Roland is here, and he demands to see you this instant!”
Garbielle took a moment to compose herself, before returning her satchel to it’s hiding place and silently closing the armoire. Things were beginning to look grim, but perhaps there could be some other way out of this. She answered the door, a sweet smile prepared for the fat old bishop, but when she saw the black-armoured giants accompanying him, her look immediately soured.
“What are these pagan brutes doing, standing on holy ground!” she demanded, accusing, “Is it the habit of the church to give in to the demands of a mortal king who surrounds himself with witches and brutes? You know where this path leads, Mathys, if we begin bowing before secular authority, it weakens the church as a whole.”
The Bishop nodded, then turned to one of the royal guards. “Pardon me, sir, but perhaps I could be more convincing if we spoke in private?”
The royal guard seemed to think a moment, then nodded. “That can be allowed. You have five minutes.”
Bishop Mathys pushed himself into Gabrielle’s cell, closing the door behind him. At this proximity, Gabrielle couldn’t help but wrinkled her nose at the wine on his breath, and the stink of his sweat.
“You’ve been a thorn in my side for far too long, Gabrielle,” he hissed at her, keeping his voice low, “And how funny, how damned hilarious it is to see you fall on the authority of the church now, when you’ve been subverting my authority for years! But perhaps, you’re right, perhaps it would be best for the church as a whole if we were seen to protect our own. But I would need some ... proof of your renewed piety and devotion, if that were to be the case.”
The bishop reached for the belt on his elaborate holy robes and began to undo it, and Gabrielle shook her head. How painfully predictable. She reached out, and slapped the bishop, hard, across the face. “I may be caught, but I still have some pride,” she spat, “You take that sad cock of yours out, and I’ll happily bite it off. Perhaps you could attend your holy duties better without it to distract you.”
Mathys returned her sour look, then simply opened the door to the cell. “Forgive me, good sirs, but I could not convince her. She is yours to remove as you see fit.”
The guards moved with an alacrity that belied their massive size, and she was dragged bodily out of her cell, in front of the Bishop and a crowd of her fellow sisters. Rather than fight and scream, embarrassing herself in front of her former peers, Gabrielle instead chose to go limp. She was already forming a plan in her mind, and she would be no easy prey for this arrogant, petty king. He had never experienced the full wrath of the church, and when word reached the Papess it would come down on him with a vengeance. Then Gabrielle would seek out that perfidious little whore of a witch and make her pay, dearly.
“Thank you both for your hard work tonight, I’m sure His Grace will appreciate it,” Colette told her subordinates with an incline of her head. The two maids remaining, after King Roland had demanded to take one of them with him while he dealt with traitors within the Capital, curtsied back. “We live to serve His Grace the King, mistress,” murmured the brown-skinned, voluptuous foreigner Leana, unfailingly polite as always, despite the fact that she was a few years older than Colette. The...
The royal apartments of the castle were built to be fully enclosed, with the only access coming from the grand stairway (which was guarded by the fearsome Veronomigan Guard) and the throne room (which, itself, only had one entrance which was also under guard). Being so self-contained, the apartments themselves were built around an internal staircase that provided access to three levels- the bottom being primarily servant’s quarters, the middle having both larger suites and several functional...
It took only one week for Adeline to research the proper ingredients, perfect her technique, and craft the potion to her satisfaction. Pleased with her cunning, she ventured out of her laboratory, situated in one of the lesser keeps of the castle, just long enough to find one of the common maids of the castle and send a message to His Grace, inviting him to come see her work for herself. To the untrained eye, the laboratory appeared muhc like a kitchen, with dried herbs and jars of strange...
Mike peered over Gabrielle’s shoulder as they both read the email. Both were excited beyond words, yet ever cognizant of the fact that it was still only an email and that the true test would be in meeting the couple in person. Such was usually the case when meeting people through these internet personals sites. On the screen, this couple seemed ideal. Both were very attractive and they seemed to have so much in common. The fact that both were bisexual was the icing on the cake. Now it...
'I still don't see why we have to help them.' Gabrielle said 'It's not like we need the money and this town is miles out of our route' 'Since when do you complain about our route?' asked Xena 'But to answer your question, this town is peaceful, the surroundings nice, and if solving this gives us a chance to relax here, I'm willing to do this.' 'Right but I still think this is far to easy for us.' 'Perhaps, but consider this a small price to pay for a nice vacation' 'With you? Not a chance,...
The king’s door, located behind and to the right of the throne from the King’s perspective, lead to a stairway. Down lead to a panic room, stocked with supplies. Stocking those supplies- replacing the rations when they began to moulder, making sure the mechanism to the locking portcullis was functional, and, of course, keeping everything free from dust fell under Colette’s direct purview, and it was the only duty that she always performed alone. However, take those stairs up, and they would...
Gabrielle by Callie Messenger Things were going well. I'd just turned twenty five, and I was ready to retire. I made my first million by my twentieth birthday, through sheer hard work, and since then I'd multiplied it ten-fold through shrewd investment. Sure, I'd made mistakes, but never with money. I got a girl pregnant when I was nineteen, but I knew that would hold me back, so I dumped her. Now I could have any girl I wanted, and my latest conquest, Sarah, was anything a guy...
Friday finally came! Emma had been fantasizing about her date with the blonde beauty Gabrielle! She seemed very dominant when they first met, so Emma had packed some special submissive clothing consisting of a belly dancing costume with harem pants, seven veils and a diaphomous face mask, another costume made from various pieces of lingerie. Lastly, she wore high heels, thigh high stockings and garter belt and low cut transparent panties. She wore no bra. A mid thigh length skirt and black...
"You're such a wuss! I don't know what my big sister saw in you ... experienced troubleshooter indeed!" My diminutive little Fairy was miffed with me, and no longer quite so little. She had now grown to the normal size of a healthy young woman ... with all the accompanying attributes. She might be Linda Lovegood's little sister, but if my intelligence report from last night was even half accurate, her big sister still had the better tits, but I decided not to hold that fact against her....
This week’s show begins with that same old rusty bedstead, and that same old dirty mattress. Pausing to take in the magnificent filthiness of it, then pulling back to reveal the bare concrete floor around it, and to take in the harsh lighting. And then we hear our guest of the week approaching, quick little footsteps ... Light clicks on the studio floor. We pan round to see what we’ve got this week and see a slight, pale, small-boobed lady walking in quick, short strides ... She’s not is a...

We start this week’s show with an establishing shot of a bright and classy business park – 2 and 3 level buildings with red and white facias, large black windows, small car parks... The car parks are mostly empty as we pan from one building to the next, and we realize that the sun is dropping in the background – it’s an evening shoot, and all of the workers have gone home for the day... We end our pan looking at the one building with cars/vans in the carpark. And then our host steps into...
We fade in in the middle of a quiet street, in the low-rise central area of a small midlands town, with one and two story buildings around us. To one side, a long flat warehouse/factory type unit, stocking and fitting tyres for local drivers, to the other, the town’s train station. Looking like a traditional old station, but rebuilt fairly recently. There’s a small car park between us and the station, and it’s almost full. We watch as a car drives down the road toward us, then turns into the...
We begin our show with stock footage of British troops in action, and on parade, mixed with footage we’ve filmed through the fence on the perimeter of an armed forces base in this week’s location ... Then we hear our American accented hostess, Jenna, narrating this week’s opening. “The armed forces ... It doesn’t matter if you’re from Britain, America or the United Kingdom of Zoo, we all love our troops ... And this week, we’re in Bovington, in Dorset, to meet a British soldier, who’s earned...
Fucking Barber 12/21/12 Noah and Teddy just finished a joint and are waxing intellectual around the coffee table at Teddy's parents house. Neither of which are using the coasters provided by Teddy's mother. "You believe in that nonsense?" Noah dismissively asked as he flipped through the channels, settling on the news. "You never know, those Aztecs--" "Mayans," Noah inserted. "Those Mayans," Teddy continued. "Those fucking Mayans knew about calculus and building pyramids, the fucking...
Hardcore“How?” The King said in a low growl. “My Lord” Sir Gareth said stepping beyond me “it’s possible he may have had a key or somehow acquired one! He killed three men in his escape!” “Dammit” he thumped his ageing fist against his throne. “Father, let me find him!” Leon offered his father. “Let me find him and bring him back so he can face justice?” King Nemea sat quietly for several moments. His hand stroking at his grey beard, a little lost in thought. “Father?” Leon spoke out...

Best Porn Games"Well done! I had every faith in you and I couldn't have done a better job myself!" I had been almost asleep in the now lukewarm bathwater when I heard Lydia's voice right into my right ear. I cracked open an annoyed eyelid to give the good Fairy a bit of a dressing down, but she looked so happy and cheerful that I couldn't find the ambition to be sore at her. "You were right, of course." I remarked in a sad sort of tone. "Lots of bad and very stupid people that needed to be killed,...

FantasyThe five of them reached another portion of the massive den. Here they could see the school that was in session through a glass window. The classroom was big, consisting of forty students. Inside the school was a female adult Yuki that was instructing a class. “It is time that you learn about us,” Fumi told them. “We are the Yuki. We are the children of the Yuki San ... the former princess of the kingdom of the rats. Our kingdom prospered. Yuki herself struggled to find a husband.” “I am...

With everything that’s been going on in the world in 2020, we at the United Kingdom of Zoo decided that something special was needed to end the year. Rather than a 20 episode series, we decided to really go for it with a marathon 50 episode series. One girl can’t handle that kind of schedule – so we decided to enlist a group of our former guests to share hosting duties on the series ... We hope you enjoy this special opening episode, and the rest of the series, and we trust you will enjoy our...

FantasyHello everyone! This time I decided to do a story focusing Felix (Or Ferris) from Re: Zero, admit it, one of the best kitty traps of anime! As I often do in my stories, I'll add some foot fetish, so if it's not your ken you could as well either skip those parts or just stop reading. Also, for the story's sake I'll give Felix a certain extra of abilities. (A bit more offensive control of water, and two new healing techniques.) Oh, I guess it's obvious but, okay, here it goes.... I don't own...
FetishI knew Phone Sex Kingdom would be something of a throwback to older, simpler times even before I clicked the link. I mean, shit, it’s right there in the name. The younger perverts in the audience may not remember this, but people actually used to talk on the phone for things other than disputing surprise fees on their Comcast or Verizon bills. That included making plans with friends, ordering Chinese food without an app, and yeah, even jacking off with a breathy-voiced babe on the other end of...
Phone Sex SitesWe fade in on a residential suburb ... The sky is grey, and so are the buildings ... Semi-detached, two-story, pebble-dashed post-war homes, fronted by high hedgerows. The wide street between them looks like it’s dual carriageway, but the sides of the street are entirely taken up with parked cars. There are even cars parked in the bus stop space – meaning that the bus passing through our shot has to stop in the middle of the road to let off passengers ... One of whom, a middle-aged,...
We start this week’s show with establishing shots of a high-quality collection of low-rise apartments. Multiple buildings, each of them four floors high. Red brick and white render, lots of small square windows and balconies that look almost completely unused. Then, walking around the corner in cargo pant shorts, and his beloved West Ham football shirt, his Doberman beside him ... It’s Dennis, the Cockney geezer that our audience has grown to either love or hate, and he’s approaching us with...
We start this week’s show with establishing shots of an old-fashioned market square – cobble stones surrounded by bollards to protect the pedestrian shoppers, then a road around the outside, and beyond that old, whitewashed buildings – shops and pubs, styled to look like Tudor and Elizabethan buildings. Walking toward us, through the crowds, is the familiar round-bellied figure of our jeans and West Ham shirt wearing host – hairy everywhere but the top of his head, it’s everyone’s favourite...
"Stop the wedding!" I shouted when I barged into the Great Hall. For extra good measure I fired a few shotgun rounds into the ceiling. That definitely got everyone's attention. "This ceremony has been expressly forbidden by the Good Fairy Lydia, who is now exceedingly pissed off and has sent me to relate in full Technicolor glorious detail the exact precise nature of her incandescent rage ... oops, sorry ... the rage is actually all mine. In short, you've all been very, very naughty and...
"C'mon bitch! What did I just say to do?" "I'm sorry, Sir! Please don't pull the leash again! It hurts my throat!" "It hurts my throat, well, a lot more is going to hurt if you don't do what I fucking say! Now suck my cock!" "Yes Sir!" "And?" I felt the hard sting of Master Theron's hand come down hard on my cheek, and held back the tears that formed in my eyes. "Thank you! Thank you Sir, for letting me suck your cock!" "Such a polite bitch." My eyes cast to the floor...
[b]The Serpent and the Goddess[/b] by Hypnohypno[b]Chapter 1[/b]Asiara grinned to hear the clank of her body guards? armor as they marched beside her. They had all insisted on coming to this parlay fully armed in their thick suits of metallic scales and face covering helms, but as they walked through the rapidly approaching dusk, she couldn?t help but think that it far too warm and pleasant an evening to be trapped within such restrictive armor. Of course, on one hand, she could hardly blame...
“This here is the hydroponics farm,” Fumi said, pointing through a small window. “This here is where we grow the food needed to help maintain this place.” The elephant goddess peered through the small window to see a vast farming area. Inside the enormous room was a single individual Yuki that was working on a large farm field. The well-lit lights showed several overhead sprinklers and shower drains that connected to the vast array of troughs with various crops growing from them. “You...

Shall we load...
Long title, realtively short story. Another quickie for me. I decided to experiment and try to stretch my meager writing talent by doing something new. I tried to write a story in flashback.

Then we’re on a busy street in an old English city - not a lot of food traffic, but plenty of cars...

Meanwhile he arranged the weddings of his sons cousins. His two own sons had already been maried to the daughters of his defeated enemies.

Transsexual“I’ve had enough of your chauvinistic male pig attitudes, General!” The Queen shouted. She was beautiful, the Queen, despite her unfortunate personality. A tall, blonde thirty-something woman, her regal bearing was only matched by her titanic breasts, each nearly the size of her head. You are careful not to stare at them, she has been known to execute people for staring at them. “You are the last male left on my council, and an excellent example of why I kicked the others off!” She continued....
FantasyI stretch quickly and start walking down my street. I need to get this done quickly, otherwise I’ll be late for school. It’s the first time my parents have let me out at such an early time and I’m grateful for it, even if it’s not what I first wanted. You can’t see the sunrise at twenty to seven in the morning, but you can at least feel the early morning chill. At the end of my street I start to sprint along the path. I feel uncoordinated for the first few seconds. Then my old knowledge starts...
FantasyI set a record for getting dressed and told the guards on duty outside our door to let Amanda sleep, but toss the Princess into a solitary cell where she would be unable to cause any extra trouble, and then go report to their Sergeant or Lieutenant. Heck, they wanted to be there for the fight anyway. Battles are dangerous but that's where the grunts sometimes find a bit of loot worth grabbing and medals always look good on your record at promotion time, especially if your direct boss manages...
When Asiara awoke, a dim grey light had penetrated the sky above her – morning had come, and the sun's rays fought to push through the hazy clouds that still poured rain upon the countryside. The lightning and thunder had passed, and the torrential rain had eased into an insistent drizzle that refused to let the sun show itself and cast its warming rays upon the land. Pulling herself into a sitting position, Asiara looked about her, trying to remember everything that had happened. At her...
We open this week’s show, as usual, with an establishing shot of the seafront of a small seaside town. Shops and shoppers, deserted ice-cream stands, a beach filled with yellow sand but virtually no holiday makers, and a very choppy bay stretching out in the distance, with land on one side and a pier on the other. We can hear the unmistakable blustering sound of wind blowing in off the sea ... We’re clearly at a seaside resort in the middle of winter. A big caption appears, filling almost...

We start this week’s show with establishing shots of a Geordie-land’s infamous night-life. Along the Quayside, teaming with young bodies as the youth of the Toon move from pub to pub, barely wearing enough to protect them from the cold northern wind. Then we’re around the corner on a street with four story buildings on either side of a wide street, with plenty of pedestrian space infront of multiple pubs and clubs. Everyone looking very relieved that the lockdown is over and the party has...
