The man was slightly surprised, but he didn’t even blink at hearing May’s question as they sat down. When he was planning to say something, however, someone knocked on the door and spoke without opening it.
“Sir, that young man, Lucas, is here looking for Maylin Angels.”
“Okay, let him in.”
The man answered behind the door and looked at May who looked more comfortable. A few seconds later, the door opened, and Lucas came in with a strange expression. When he saw May, he smiled and walked over.
“Hey, how are you?”
When May turned her face in his direction and he saw the bruise on her face, however, Lucas’s expression went cold and he looked at the man in the room, who at that moment quickly got up from his chair with his mouth open in shock.
May was more comfortable with Lucas’s arrival, and when she saw the angry expression on his face, she was happy inside.
‘Hey, isn’t he cute? Getting mad on my behalf.’
She thought as a small smile appeared on her face.
“Who touched her?”
Lucas asked in a hoarse voice, instilling fear in the heart of the man in suit, who at the moment was shaking slightly. He approached quickly and said it eagerly.
“C-Colonel Price?”
Lucas’ eyebrows shot up as the strange feeling in his heart grew. He already suspected when he entered the place and saw a lot of cross-dressers, but he didn’t expect his guess to be right.
He looked the man in the suit up and down, causing the big man to shake slightly, before finally saying it.
“Have we met before?”
The man swallowed his saliva in his mouth as he thought what words to use to answer, but Lucas remembered it before he could open his mouth.
“Ah, Major Miller! I hardly noticed it! True, you’re using the original artifact so I can’t see through you.”
Lucas nodded with a satisfied expression when he realized who the man was. Looking at May’s face, however, his cold expression returned and he said.
“Who hit her?”
The tall, strong man was speechless. So far, he hasn’t even been able to speak properly, he was still trying to process Lucas’ presence in that place and soothe his anxious feelings in his heart.
“Colonel Price...”
When he started to say something, Lucas raised his eyebrows and looked with disgust at the man, who quickly swallowed and said.
“It was a misunderstanding. Let’s sit down and talk, so I can explain the situation.”
Lucas still looked unsatisfied when he didn’t sit down and continue looking at the man with the same expression. Major Miller tried his hardest to use his brain to find out what was upsetting Lucas when he suddenly remembered something and said.
“Ah, I beg your pardon!”
Straightening up, he gave a military salute and said.
“Major Miller at the behest of Colonel Price!”
Lucas nodded with satisfaction as he sat on the couch next to May. With his feet on the table and an arm behind May, he smiled arrogantly at Major Miller, who smiled bitterly and said nothing more as he sat down.
“Sir, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on the promotion you will receive in the coming days.”
“I don’t plan to accept.”
Lucas replied without a single second of delay.
“But...”
“They decided on their own, I don’t want this promotion. The objective is very obvious, I will not become their bridge.”
Lucas didn’t say it directly, but Major Miller understood it instantly. With a sigh, he thought about how complicated things are at the top of the army.
“I hope you haven’t been offended...”
“With the surveillance around my apartment? I thought it was because of Maylin’s daughter, but there’s more to this, right?”
“Yes...”
“I’m surprised. You were watching us, but you didn’t know it was me.”
“The operation in the city is very large. Although guarding the apartment was important, my attention was taken by other details of the operation, I apologize. If I had known you were there, I would have gone quickly to find you to explain the situation.”
“Before anything, go back to your original appearance.”
Lucas said shortly afterward and Major Miller quickly nodded. From the pocket of his jacket, he took a pen and squeezed it. As if by magic, the big, strong man turned into a tall, beautiful woman with a ponytail.
“Much better. Could you tell me now what’s going on?”
While the conversation was going on, Lucas was teasing May by the side, poking her in the arm or legs. Although she was following the conversation and had many questions, she knew it was not the time to ask and remained silent.
“Honestly, sir, I don’t know how much I can tell you...”
“Then go ask the old fogy who’s giving you orders.”

AN: All characters are 18 years or older. Damn, this took a bit of thinking on what exactly I wanted this story to be for while. Originally it was titled "Your Princesses" and was going to be a 2nd Person POV story. Also the character you become would be named Morgan Godfrey who other possible writers for the story could set up as a male/female human or some other race like elf or something. But, some new ideas I thought of weren't fitting that original story. So, here we are, a 3rd Person...
Fantasyafter one and a half years with goddess sarita things were getting less hard as I knew what and how goddess wanted so punishment was very rare.. but due to long time in chastity I could not take off my mind of my cage and I was thinking of some how getting it off and cum for once when goddess is at work ..it was Monday goddess woke up un chained me from the bed let me take a dump and get fresh then I prepared breakfast.. goddess finished breakfast asked me to do the house works and left for...
Jenny was asleep in another room and the thought of her asleep in that very thin pajamas that I saw her put on after her shower was making my cock even harder and excited so then and there I decided ill go pay her a little visit. I didn’t go with anything in mind really but just wanted to see her body as she slept, we had a very full day before and very eventful night so I figured she would be asleep soundly and as I approached the doorway I could hear light snoring so I knew that she was....
This is the story of my sexlife with my Godmother/cousin. I say godmother/cousin because she is actually both as choosing a relative to be a God parent is common place in the Caribbean. Yes I am from the Caribbean and my name is Kenny, 32 yrs old, I’m 6’2” tall, a well built 250 lbs, educated and better looking than I am not.

Colonel Redding sat at the security desk, laying back in the chair, eyes darting from t.v to t.v trying to see how on earth Project X escaped. He'd been doing this for over an hour now, ever since at 0100 hours he escaped. At 0300 hours they stopped searching and had resorted to using their satellites, tracking devices and anything else that would aid them in their search for him. He had been furious at the guard for letting him escape and was now hellbent on finding some clue as to to how he...
I work in the head office so the owner of the company also use to visit here to check everything is working fine. The owner is a multimillionaire business tycoon in this country and she is one of the 10 richest persons in this country. I could not get her appointment for 1st 1 week then her PS called me one night and told that she (the boss) wanted me to meet her and inform about the current business status.

You don't remember circumstances you got your power, or received your training with it. There was some lights involved, you think, and a voice mentioning "Hey guys, watch this, it'll be REALLY funny. C'mon, hold my beer." Then you woke up in your bed, understanding your new potential. The first day was small things - adding money to your wallet, cleaning your room in an instant, fixing your car - and from there, you've started playing around with it more and more. Now, though, you were ready...
Mind ControlDean Fawkes was a bit of a loser in high school with no friends and especially no girlfriends. This caused him to drift into an outsider and toughens up to fit what society had deemed him to be. His luck changed one day in his senior year when he was visited by a girl during lunch. Beatrix Winters, a very attractive junior girl, saw the tough unwanted boy and sought to show him love and affection. Their relationship blossomed and remained to this day three years later. But it seemed as though...

Blake Mathers wakes up as his phone pings with a notification. The young man recently turned 18, and in his last year of high school. He has some time before he needs to get ready for school. He stretches his arms as he yawns. Blake rubs his eyes and checks his phone. 'Apps you might like' notification along the top banner of his screen. Blake groans, "Why the Hell would they send something like that this early in the morning?" The dark-haired young man taps the notification. The app store...
BisexualHe’d battled them throughout the swamp, his hammer having little effect. Brute force failed to defeat them. Instead, he looked for other monsters and the dumb swamp slimes would get distracted and engage them instead. Using this method, he made his way through the forest with swamp slimes acting as his unknowing allies. He needed more varied skills. For one, when force failed him, he found himself in a disadvantageous position. Another point he wrote in his notes. They also needed another...
He’d seen twisted trees, sickly grass, and muddy ground ever since leaving the miasma. Checking Axel’s pulse and breath, Rayner saw no improvement in his condition. As he rested among the cursed land, he took out his list. In only a short time it had gotten long and increasingly ambitious. But now he wanted to focus on the basics. The game-like system has several key differences from what he was familiar with back home. A review of what he had learned was in order. Attributes like speed,...
He had to buy it, and Axel thought they should have given it to them for free as a thank you for saving them. Rayner insisted the refugees were not in a position to give anything away for free. Besides, he had checked its authenticity, and it was a good map. “So, what’s the plan?” Rayner said. “I know you have one. You must, because we’re heading off into the countryside on our own. That has not worked out too well in the past.” “You’re the one who signed up for this quest,” Axel said. “I...
They had escaped the forest and now traveled across rolling hills and farmland, looking for civilization. After much discussion they agreed to avoid cities, not wanting to be near the center of events. They still did not know what to do in this world. Yazid wanted them to be a force that did not have any loyalty to the gods, to help people without asking for permission. “Is that smoke?” Rayner said. “Yes, I can smell it from here. Let’s go around it,” Axel said. “There could be people in...
A dozen students were ahead of him and he didn’t feel like wasting the remainder of his lunchtime, opting to grab the tasteless burgers from the shorter line instead. After loading up his tray with food, he looked for his friend Rayner. Axel saw him near the back by the window, chatting with Yazid. He did not want to deal with the eccentric teen. He just wanted to have a peaceful lunch. There was no avoiding it, sitting with anyone else was not an option. It was the price for having such a...
To start this story we have to go a ways back. For a little framework, I was born to an already broken marriage. My father a serial cheater and my mother could never fully let him go. I know they maintained a physical relationship years after the divorce, everyone saw the signs. He had too much charm and equally excessive libido. I guess that is where I get it. I was always told I was just like him. I was great at sports, was a natural leader, good looking, and you guessed it, i did...
In the now crowded brothel, Axel sat with his own full mug of devil’s water, brooding over the events since he was summoned to this world. Almost from the beginning, he and his best friend Rayner had been embroiled in conflict, battling goblins, Inimi soldiers, bandits, and even dragons. All he wanted now was to slip into obscurity and keep a low profile. Too much attention brought the wrong kind of scrutiny. People would start asking dangerous questions about them. Questions they could not...
All Axel knew of the man was that he clashed with Evans who also held the rank of captain. Their roles differed in that Evans patrolled the outside of the city and Kreg patrolled the inside. Evans received greater attention and accolades for his work, spawning jealously from the longtime captain. At the other side of the table the representative of the merchant class, Ivan, poured over a ledger. He would remove his nose from the ledger only to scribble notes. Every so often he would remove...
The town of Ridgehill deserved its name. Ridges surrounded it, providing a suitable defense. The three armies camped outside the town used those Ridges as cover. However, as Vix and his two companions sneaked past the camp and into the town, it was clear their natural defenses bred a lack of security. The town brimmed with activity and desperation. Women haggled with street vendors and the homeless hustled used goods on street corners. It reminded Vix of a poor city instead of town in a...
When Axel exited the cramped tunnel, he found the worshipers already engaged in combat. Rayner, however, was nowhere in sight, meaning he’d gone deeper into the battle to fight more fearsome foes. Axel knew Rayner was alive because of the way the worshipers fought. They were all under the effects of Rayner’s skill, Battle Cry. It meant Rayner was doing his part and Axel had to do his own. Since all the monsters were engaged and Colin and Haro were taking up the task of keeping other enemies...

It only took a few minutes to walk to the edge of the Fount. Bright energy-laden Ether spurted up like water under high pressure from the rift in the ground in front of him. Jake saw what the others could not: the rift between the planes was only about a eighteen inches across, but the stream was nearly quarter of a mile across itself, and shot nearly ten times as high. Jake marveled at the care that must have gone into constructing such a well of power in the mortal plane. Brent had...
The Goddess' Blessing By Angie "kitn" Hughes Spring equinox had finally arrived, tonight was the night. The moon was nicely full, too, an added bonus. Tracy turned off the monitor on his computer and walked over to his personal altar. All the components for the spell he was researching were gathered and waiting. He looked around his room to be sure everything was in place, his bed neatly made, his clothes clean and put away, his floor clean as he could manage... All of the...
Girl-worship has been my life, from the very first hard-on. Mostly I’d cum thinking about them, using the entries in my little black book recording what they’d worn that day, things they said and did. Occasionally I’d be lucky enough to get ‘lucky views’ as I call them, seeing a bulging jumper or even knickers. It was rare back then that I got the opportunity to spunk seeing them for real, but as I looked out my window every day after school, I was treated once or twice to the joy of seeing one...
John Newton never intended to destroy the world; he just wanted a harem. And not just any harem; he could have gotten that without going to the lengths he did. No, he wanted a harem of gods. The young yet brilliant scientist, in a workshop at his house, readied his device, packing it up in a trunk. In another trunk would go batteries he had charged to meet the crazy power needs of his device. Where he was going, there weren't any power outlets. He struggled to carry the two trunks out of his...
FantasyThe Sky Marshals engines burned brightly through the early morning sky. Those underneath knew not of the hope the two spots of light represented and some even ran in fear, thinking only of the lights to which came before it. A silvery monster had landed only hours before spewing dark demons into the city. Slaughter was indiscriminate and every passing moment became more terrifying than the last. Dark shadowy creatures and giant slimy figures with eerie toothy grins roamed the streets. Shooting...

In an Ancient and magical world was the city of Gordor. It was a great city of magic and warriors. It was the city of danger and wonder. A city of light and darkness went through this land.

FantasyEros sighed. Today was turning out like every other day he'd suffered for aeons. Stuck on Mount Olympus, occasionally shooting an arrow at a nymph for target practice, the minor God was getting sick of the routine. "Mother, can you please tell me why I'm not allowed out in the human world?" Eros asked Aphrodite, a question she'd grown accustomed to hearing. "Because," the goddess of love began, "you can't be trusted out there. Every time we let you out, you mess with natural law and people end...
GayWell dear, I just finished writing that info document and I was feeling pretty sexy so I thought I’d try my hand at something a bit different for fun, mainly to write the sexiest, most provocative letter I could think of describing the way I want to fuck you. I have this big hard on right now thinking about those lovely little tits of yours, tight and firm rubbing against my chest, making their presence felt from the heat of your skin, the bulge of your nipples. You are wearing a soft satin bra...

Mind ControlI woke up looking at the ceiling, which was pretty close considering I was on top of a bunk bed. jumping down I got dressed and looked in the mirror. "Not bad" I said I was 134 pounds and none of it was fat, but I was pretty skinny for a senior in high school, i had short brown hair and brown eyes and I was not bad looking. Grabbing a handful of nuts, two vitamin gummies and a torn of piece of bread I shouted by to my mom and ate my breakfast on the way up to my best friends house. Me, Alana...
Mind ControlThe Inimi, being outnumbered and attacked from all sides, retreated. Causalities were minimal; the leader of the Inimi army had executed a brilliant retreat leaving their goblin allies behind to distract the enemy while the rest escaped. Sucks to be a goblin. Kevia told Axel people would forget their deeds in time, and he wanted them to, but it jarred him to see it happen. The handsome guard at the gate who had seen them off didn’t even recognize them. All the attention shifted to another...
A woman sitting by his bed left calling for a man named John. When John came, he explained what happened while Axel was sleeping. “He did what?” “He left to fight the dragons, rescue the maiden and free our people of this scourge,” John explained for the third time. Axel sighed, it sounded like something Rayner would do. Stupid hero. Not like he had much of choice. If he refused, Axel would still be asleep, or dead. He thanked the man and went to get his things. Maybe he could catch up...
Theirs had been a resounding victory. All the bandits they knew of were dead. They took longer than expected, as they had to deal with another two dozen women and girls rescued from the bandits. Then there was the packing of the loot. The bandits had been busy, they had plenty of food and even more weapons. Nothing too amazing as Alta was not a rich country. The bandits had been attacking both the Inimi and coalition forces, hitting their supply lines. Rayner told him the bandit boss was an...
"Good Morning" I replied with a hard swallow. "Sorry, wanted a different kind of breakfast this morning." She said with a giggle. She was buttering me up, that I knew. I had planned on taking her out shopping. Her first real outing since deciding to distance herself from Eric and we both agreed a new wardrobe was in order. It would be on my dime, naturally. I guess she wanted me to remember this when I saw the price tags. The head was slow, methodical, paced. Light brushes from...
She was a severe woman at times, with admittedly prudish and old-fashioned notions. Other than that, she was a very good listener with cute kids. They reminded Rayner of the kids he cared for back home. The kids he ultimately failed to help. From behind him came a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see Tessa. “You move silently. How long were you behind me?” “With the way things are going in town, I have learned to move quietly and with a sense of haste.” She moved past him to open the...
Vix worried little though. The goblins had waited a month to storm the final stronghold of the goblin lords. Finished patrolling the outside of the castle, Vix walked past the gates, stepping over the body of a goblin that had met a dagger to the throat. Though the goblin lords called the place a castle, it was truly just an abandoned manor. It had a moat but no outer gates and a guard tower in disrepair that likely stored foodstuffs. The state of the tower didn’t stop a goblin loyal to the...
The hospitality god’s blessing on the brothel provided numerous small benefits. It allowed warm water to run throughout the building, providing warmth without the need for a pumping system. It also sourced light that appeared to originate from nothing and with only a simple thought to activate it. Frankly, the blessing even this petty god, so weak as to not have a name, provided was a marvel even to Axel, who came from a modern world with advanced technology. Grace had informed him that...
But she’d been right in her recommendation for many reasons. Traveling with the caravan allowed them to see the might of the Coalition gods. A massive gaseous wall of blue bordered the entirety of the caravan, a blessing from a traveler god of the Coalition. The barrier protected the caravan as it traveled. Kobolds stalked the caravan and launched attacks against it, but the blessing of Turin halted them and when the kobolds pushed further into the shimmering wall of blue, their bodies...
Axel himself had little to no marketable skills to offer. Oh, he was vastly better educated than this world’s common citizens, but it wasn’t applicable or of little use. That left the duo stuck with their cover job as bodyguards for the camp whores. There lack of use was sobering. Even worse, the clients didn’t put up much trouble as none wanted to be banned from the comfort the whores provided. Also, if anyone was banned by the prostitutes, that individual would be kicked out of the...
The sheer volume of rain the sky dumped on him and his current companions obscured his vision and forced him to trek up a hill to see where he was going. Rayner found a job thanks to the recommendation of the whitesmith he assisted at the caravan. The job was to protect a monster cataloger named Kata. He researched the twisted monsters that still inhabited the area which the miasma had originally affected. Three others were hired on for the job. A team of two young men that looked like...
Turns out the Forest God was not as good as Yazid at setting fail-safes. Dodging trees and branches was not that hard, and the zombies no longer chased them. Axel thought the zombies would have collapsed after the forest god died. They had escaped the forest and now traveled across rolling hills and farmland, looking for civilization. After much discussion they agreed to avoid cities, not wanting to be near the center of events. They still did not know what to do in this world. Yazid wanted...
Axel’s worrying over the plan to attack the bandits proved misplaced. As Barny explained to him, battles were often small-scale brawls and went from one extreme to the other. With lots of death on one side, or an indecisive outcome with few fatalities. Theirs had been a resounding victory. All the bandits they knew of were dead. They took longer than expected, as they had to deal with another two dozen women and girls rescued from the bandits. Then there was the packing of the loot. The...
The lack of refugees to take care of and the addition of a map eased their travel. Rayner had gotten the map from the refugees. He had to buy it, and Axel thought they should have given it to them for free as a thank you for saving them. Rayner insisted the refugees were not in a position to give anything away for free. Besides, he had checked its authenticity, and it was a good map. “So, what’s the plan?” Rayner said. “I know you have one. You must, because we’re heading off into the...
Axel woke suddenly, jolting up in the bed. The last thing he remembered was a great deal of pain after he sealed the Miasma away. Rayner must have carried him here. A woman sitting by his bed left calling for a man named John. When John came, he explained what happened while Axel was sleeping. “He did what?” “He left to fight the dragons, rescue the maiden and free our people of this scourge,” John explained for the third time. Axel sighed, it sounded like something Rayner would do....
Swamp slimes. He’d never heard of them but they existed. The small blobs were composed of puddles of green goo, twigs, and moss. He’d battled them throughout the swamp, his hammer having little effect. Brute force failed to defeat them. Instead, he looked for other monsters and the dumb swamp slimes would get distracted and engage them instead. Using this method, he made his way through the forest with swamp slimes acting as his unknowing allies. He needed more varied skills. For one, when...
They returned to Ridgehill with little fanfare. The battle had already ended by the time they arrived. It was a resounding victory for the people of Alta and residents of Ridgehill. The Coalition army showed up marching out of the Corpsewood having made a deal with the Elves that he and Rayner knew to be fairies. Also, one of the country’s leaders used the invasion to rally enough political support from the regional governors to become head of state. The first thing on his to-do list was...
Rayner stood in front of Tessa’s shack, his hand over his brow to shield his eyes from the sun’s heat. He’d only just arrived. The usual riot of pickpockets and women soliciting him slowed him down. Visiting Tessa had become a regular event for him and he truly enjoyed the woman’s company to Axel’s amazement. She was a severe woman at times, with admittedly prudish and old-fashioned notions. Other than that, she was a very good listener with cute kids. They reminded Rayner of the kids he...
