In the morning, Leelee and I stoked the fire and prepared the breakfast meal. Merry talked with Mario and Jani. They looked over at me as I helped with the meal performing "woman's work." Merry was barely able to contain her mirth at their thinly veiled efforts to act nonchalant about my activities compared to their sense of propriety.
Jani had asked if Merry was pregnant. "Yes, I am with my second child. I hope this one will be a girl because Tom has said that he wants a little girl to spoil."
Jani finally asked, "Why does he help in preparing the meal?" She didn't say it but you could hear her thinking that I was performing women's work.
Merry grinned. "Tom says the only thing that he can't do is become pregnant. There are a few things that Leelee and I don't have the strength to do but we work interchangeably to perform any duties needing to be accomplished. It's fun to work with Tom and we, Leelee and I, have learned that there are few truly manly or womanly duties in life.
"He keeps both of us very happy and we work together well. We know that is different from most other peoples but it works well for us."
At that moment, one of the other men came up behind me. He started to kick me. I said, "That would be most unwise. I would have to hurt you and you might hit some of our breakfast food when you fall."
He said, "You aren't a real man or you wouldn't do a woman's work." He didn't take my warning and started his foot forward. I grabbed his foot and forced it away from my body and high into the air as I stood. He fell heavily with one hand in the fire. He screamed with the burn. Leelee had moved the cooking pot out of the way. I stomped down on the foot I wasn't holding and kept my foot in place while pulling on the one I held. He screamed in pain. I figured the stretching and my foot grinding his ankle didn't feel very good.
"I warned you not to do that. You should listen next time when a man warns you."
I dropped his foot and went to help Leelee though I continued to be wary of him and anyone else approaching. Some of these people took my helping with cooking as a sign of weakness. The man's right hand was badly burned and his left ankle was probably broken. Another man came up and went to the fallen one. He checked him over. I noticed that the two looked very similar meaning they were likely brothers. The guy pulled the hurt one away from the fire and a woman began to tend his injuries.
The unhurt one came toward me. I stood and waited for him to approach and speak. "You hurt Micah. He is my brother. I challenge you."
I said, "Okay, what are the rules?"
"No rules. I will kill you and take your women."
Leelee stood beside me. "You won't kill Tom nor will you take us."
He glared at her. I said, "We know that Micah is a fool. Now, you are proving that it is a family trait.
"Merry, toss it over." Merry threw my spear over to me. I caught it and stood ready.
"That's not fair! You can't use that stick!"
"Do you want to back off?" He shook his head. "You're the one who said, 'No rules.' I'm just using one of my favorite weapons. Let's get this over with before breakfast burns."
He came at me and I reversed the spear and punched him in the stomach hard enough to put him on the ground. He stood and came at me again. He grabbed for my spear. I swung it out of the way and pounded the blunt end into his kidney. He hit the ground again rolling with the pain.
I said, "That's twice. If you come at me again, you will die. Fools harm others and can't be allowed to be part of a civilized community."
I waited for another attack with the pointed end of my spear pointed at him. He circled me. Leelee again moved the food and her body away from the fire and me. He charged and I let him come. I spun and hit his head hard with my spear. He fell into the fire and its coals. He screamed as he burned. He rolled off the fire. Leelee shouted, "Watch out, Tom! The other has a bow and arrow!" He wasn't handling it very well because of his burnt hand.
I shouted, "Lower the bow or die!" He didn't and I threw the spear piercing his stomach. He fell back shooting the arrow into the air as he dropped the bow. I went after him and slammed the spear deeper into his stomach area. Then I twisted it toward his heart. For these people, it was a fatal wound. I heard Merry scream. I jerked my spear from him to crouch to defend against the other. I impaled him with my spear and put the point into his chest piercing his heart. I pulled it out and readied for another attack. No one else came at me.
Mario and Jani were still sitting there in shock at the suddenness of the attacks on me and my successful defense against the brothers. One was dead and the other was dying. I said, "Mario, is there anyone else in your group who wants to die?"
He looked at me. "I-I don't think so. I have no desire to fight you, Tom. I am sorry that those two attacked you. It was wrong."
"I tried to get them to stop but they wouldn't stop. I don't like to kill but will not suffer attacks upon my ladies or myself."
The other grown men and most of the women had gathered. No one else came forward. It was very quiet. Finally, I said, "Everyone! I did not want to kill those two but they started it. I ended it. Leelee, Merry, and I will defend our way of life and each other. You are not forced to stay here. If you do, you will swear to support each of the three of us as we will you. Anyone not willing to swear to support all should leave as soon as you can." My two ladies stood with me with bows in their hands and fire in their eyes. I was proud of both of them.

Legacy universe story by: Set3 Tobias Marshal was following his partner, Phil Dunwhich, down the hall. Both were clad in swat gear, as they should be, as they are part of a larger team that was currently clearing out an old apartment building that housed a group of white supremacists. They had received a tip that they were going to carry out an attack on a local minority church. Not willing to take a risk, SWAT was called in. The building was quickly surrounded and after a quick fire...
Book Ten: The Flaming Woman Chapter Eleven: The Dragon's Pain By mypenname3000 Copyright 2017 Knight Angela – Dominari's Lair, The Despeir Mountains Lady Delilah's draconic jaws opened above me. My arms burned. The power of Gewin's blessing buttressed my limbs, keeping the immense weight of the dragon from crushing me as her claw pinned me to the cave floor. But as I looked into her open jaw at the sharp teeth dripping, the reek of sulfur of her breath, I saw my death. I had...

Like my Potter fanfic, this will be extremely hardcore stuff! Also, I'm still not prefect in English so be indulgent! Good Reading! Part1: Daenerys: The Dragon's Bride Daenerys was looking at the view, perched at the top of the high hill Drogon had land on. They had left the fighting pit of Meereen two days ago and the young woman was famish. The dragon had eaten a entire lamb he had gripped in the field this morning. The charred remains where still smoking and diffusing the flagrance...
There was a sound like an explosion and Pae turned and shoved Little towards the back of the cave as half of the front of the cave came down. Several large rocks hit Pae in the back driving her to the ground, pinning her there as she blacked out. It took some time before Pae woke up enough to call out to Little, "Little, are you all right?" "Yes, I think so. The cave is completely blocked. It's too dark in here. I can't see anything." "I know. Are you hurt or trapped or anything like...
Note: This is not your usual Lush story. It is an experimental play in a theater of the absurd style. There is no sex but it is an entertaining comment on marriage. I encourage you to indulge in something different. I think it will make you laugh and maybe cry. Scene: A formal living room. Mortimer is seated on a sofa in the center of the room when Myrtle enters and sits on the sofa next to him. She is wearing a blue floral dress and a pearl necklace, her gray hair is tied in a bun. Mortimer is...
ArdenThe rain made quick work of the fire, and I directed my men to help move the family whose house had been struck to a nearby barn, where they could stay for a couple of nights until we could repair their house. They finished quickly, and with a nod, I dismissed them to their drinking and debauchery for the evening. The revelry in the town square would be done for the night, but the tavern was still open. My men would be hung over, but they would all report for work in the morning.I headed...
Fantasy & Sci-FiIt was the late nineties. I was twenty-two and had just arrived back in Santiago after six very long months in southern Chile.Hired by a Canadian forestry company, I’d been managing a large timber survey about as far south in Patagonia as you could get. Further, in fact. When the highway stopped, we’d taken a boat for another eight hours to the isolated logging camp. What followed was backbreaking work, rain, wind, and a tangled temperate jungle.Half a year later, now finally free of the damp...

We laid Clonk to rest under a great cairn of stones just outside the camp. The captain and squad chanted an old soldier's dirge to mark his passing, the first of our squad. I knelt before the cairn and thought about Clonk's life and death. He had crept out in the middle of the night to raid the wine store, so the devils in his life had lead to his death. But his manner of death had saved our lives; he had surprised the assassin at work preparing to kill us all. If he hadn't, at least most...
My lovers are always surprised, sometimes even shocked, at the overwhelming strength and duration of my orgasms. I never reveal the true reason, that would truly be shocking.It was July 1st. We’d arrived at my grandparents' farm the night before. It was thrilling to be back in Transylvania where I grew up. My parents and I had left when I was eight to emigrate to the United States for a better life. Now, at twenty-two, this was my graduation present, the one I’d longed for. My memories of the...
Monster SexTHIS STORY is set mainly in New Zealand. CHAPTER 1 Roaming photographer Douglas Rogan, from a small coastal settlement in Massachusetts, had been trolling New Zealand for five months taking shots of unusual scenes or notable characters with the idea of producing his 7th pictorial book he aimed to call ‘Kiwiland Under Camera’. The tall, lean blond with inquiring blue eyes had been enchanted with the country and its people and wherever he went had been made to feel quite at home. He’d sent...
‘So…I just stand here?’ I ask, obliviously. My voice reverberates and echoes in the cavern I’ve been sequestered to within the catacombs of the dragon’s monstrously large cave system that acts as their home. ‘Yes, Peter. And you wait for him to finish observing your Spectrum. It probably won’t take too long, in fact, he probably already has the answer,’ Nightwing explains. ‘I hope so,’ I sigh. Nightwing smiles and places a reassuring hand on my shoulder. We share a moment of silence. ‘How’s...

Captain Sanchez explained the shoals and the need to go in at high tide to Allison and Amy. He had scanned the island for any signs of life and had found none, so he told her not to get up her hopes. "Besides," he said, "if anyone is there, they might just as well be on the other side of the island. I'm starting here because it looks like there's a break into the lagoon on this side. If we find no sign of anybody, we'll weigh anchor and try other sides. That'll be quicker than trying...

I never FaceTime. I'm not a adolescent girl. I don't need to see your face when a simple text will do. Call me an old bastard, get-off-my-lawn type, but that's the way it is. (By the way, I'm not that old).So when that mechanical beeping emanates from my phone that someone wants to FaceTime me, it's definitely out of the ordinary. Especially when it's 10:30 on a Tuesday night. I got to my phone and it said "Ann FaceTime video."Well, this was different. Ann Next Door and I been fooling around on...
It was a warm October night and I was at a college football game with a few buddies. Throughout the first half of the game, I looked to my right and there was this hot sexy bald guy 3 sections to my right. He had huge arms and was wearing a black wife-beater and jeans. We kept looking at each other and at each time, he would show that bright smile of his.At halftime, I went to the restroom and used one of the stalls, luckily I was the only one in the bathroom. As I opened the stall, he was...
(Wrote for fun, enjoy) * I’m softly treading water looking at the eye of the Dragon as it rises above the edge of the horizon. The soft orange glow of the moon at quarter phase as it appears over the tree line. My father always told me it was a Dragon watching us from the dark. I believed him at the time. It looks just like that. I swim in the warm water over to the floating platform in the middle of the small lake. By the time I reach it my arms have grown tired. The effort to pull...
Summertime In Colorado I absolutely love summertime. The hotter it is the less the girls wear. Instead of long jeans they wear short shorts. Instead of full blouses they wear skimpy tops. Coats are strictly out of the question too. Bikinis are popular even if it is just the top half with a micro mini skirt. Like I said I absolutely love summertime. Girls of all ages are wonderful to look at. Touching them might be a different story but looking at them is still legal. The problem...

The knowledge that Durin's body wasn't in the crypt built for him here in Peloi was one of those details that slipped past us in our rush to get here, I guess. Like Sid's not being aware of what could happen to an unattached Wizard. I shared the general dismay over the lack of new information here as well, but everything now was colored by my efforts to resist the call I was feeling from the ocean nearby. It called to me in a way no body of water ever had. That it called was exciting...
Chapter 10 - Wagons Ho By Marina Kelly and Monica Rose Editor: Qmodo The book was still on the table bedside the bed when they wheeled him back to his room. While he wasn't restricted to his room, considering that he was only an observation patient, Pat didn't feel like wandering around the hospital wearing only a drafty gown. It would be an hour or two before the doctor would have time to review the scans that had been taken of his head and neck. To kill the time, Pat decided...
HistoricalJune 2, 1848 It seemed like Bob's family was even farther withdrawn from us than they were yesterday. We were still traveling along the Platte. They had pulled out far to the south of us. We'd see their wagons occasionally, but for the most part, it was like they weren't there. The Platte looked like it had shrunken in on itself. It is never a navigable river, but now it was even worse than normal. Ab said he was a little concerned about us having sufficient water for the cattle and...
SadiceI thought I was over her, until she rode into town with her company of one hundred and fifty men.Arden had aged since the last time I saw her. A scar ran down one side of her face, and her hair had a white streak where the scar disappeared up into her scalp. There were lines where there had been none, and her normally quiet face kept a slight frown in place as if it belonged there.But I would know those eyes in any crowd.Steel grey and flinty when she was mad, I had seen her pin a drunk...
Fantasy & Sci-FiKaren woke and found herself tied to the back of a horse that was standing beside two others. She had no idea as to how long she had been out. When she looked around she didn't recognize any of the landscape. Everything came back to her in a rush then; the attack, three dragons and several humans. It was while Dracon was fighting the dragons that the men came after her. She tried to get a way from them but something hit her and she blacked out. As she tried to think how long it might have...
It was Carla's idea, I swear it. "Let's go by the Pentagon and see what's going on." "Why, for God's sake?" That was Monica, always the practical one. "Because I'm horny, that's why." I knew what she meant, even though I didn't want to admit it. We were always horny after a game. Somebody once said that exercise is foreplay, and she was right. I say "she," because it was probably a cheerleader who said that. You've read those stories about football studs screwing the...

April 30, 1845 Today was an interesting day for two reasons. First, I killed a buffalo. Second, we reached the Platte River. The buffalo was easy. I think I could have ridden right up to them. It was in a very small herd, I was to find out later. There were probably a couple of hundred animals. Ab told me they were probably stragglers from a much larger herd. We camped within sight of the Platte River. The area around the river was marshy, so we couldn't camp right next to it. The little...
GALLAIS'S LODGE Tesand lowered the portable sensor device and turned to Aikiro and Yuri who stood by the doors onto the balcony looking through the glass out onto the city of Sparta. "Well, unless they have developed something our instruments can't detect, which based on what we've seen so far is entirely possible, the rooms are clean of anything we can pick up." Aikiro nodded slowly. "They were able to intercept our communications somehow. And we did not detect their shrouded ships...

Showtime for Teri By Teri Franken Chapter 1 My name is Teri and I am 28 years old. I have been a closet sissy for as long as I can remember. My parents knew that I was not your typical child and they let me live how I wanted to and did not judge me, they just loved me unconditionally. I grew up loving everything that a little boy typically doesn't like, such as dresses and dolls. My parents were concerned that I would be a target for bullies, so I was home schooled, took my GED...
We found the place where we'd been looking at the stuff for Millie and went in. The proprietor remembered us from the day before and he helped us stack up our purchases on the counter. Millie and Tess did most of the selecting but did ask my opinion on a few things. They bought a coffee grinder and coffee pot, two iron skillets, a Dutch oven, two sizes of kettles, a couple of butcher knives, tin table settings, eating utensils, things like big spoons and flap jack turners, two buckets, a...
A Treatice on the Draconic Inhabitants of Sindara Written and Published by Alctios Firestand, Archmage of the Royal Mystic University in Argendale Physically, the planet Sindara bears many similarities with own. We orbit the same sun, both have two moons, most of the planet is covered in watery oceans, similar atmospheres, etc. etc. This volume is not about the planet itself (although if you are more intrested in the geology and natural history of the two worlds, the book of my colleague,...
FantasyELEAR NORTHERN TEMPLE SITE "They gained access to the Temple through a rear delivery door my Queen." The Elven Holy man spoke as he watched Dysea and Isabella move around the small vault like room. There were over a dozen scrolls encased in the clear glass containers and spaced at even intervals throughout the vault. Three of them were now smashed and empty, but the others remained untouched. "They made their way down here and entered the vault. Only a bio-signature password can open the...
TIMELESS BEAUTY BY PAUL G. JUTRAS Sam walked in the dorm house, looked at the lock and then in the dorm mistress's room. The plus size woman was dress in a black blouse and flats, black with white palm tree design jacket and skirt with dark brown nylons. She new there was only a half hour before she made her rounds and called lights out. Upstairs, roommates Chris and Alex waited on their beds.

The next morning, the two children were tired upon awakening. They were invigorated, however, when they remembered they were returning to the waterfall. There they could relax and bathe in fresh water once again. They figured that the hike to follow the stream from the pool would be easier than spending the day hauling boxes up to their new campsite. So, they were looking forward to it since they would be foregoing much heavier work. They took only some small cans to fill up with water which...
Mike was on the raft paddling to one of his favorite spots. He heard a funny buzzing sound. He scanned the sky and saw it, a plane. Joyously, he started waving wildly, shouting even though there was no chance they could hear him. The plane continued towards their island. Inside the cockpit, the co-pilot was scanning the island not looking for anything in particular. This island wasn't even on their charts. He saw the orange spot first, a color not usual in nature. "Hey Jock. Get closer. I...
Life in Hawaii for the Sanderson family was quite different than life on the island with the blue lagoon. Their estate on the island of Hawaii was still a paradise as far as Allison, Amy, and the girls were concerned. After a week, they still had not explored it all since there was so much to do just in the vicinity of their magnificent mansion. There was a tennis court where Allison was teaching the girls what she knew about tennis. Of course, the pool was the main attraction. Amy was...
Nathan was describing what had taken place up at the cabin to Allison while they rested after having sex in her bed. She was pleased to know that this meant Jane would certainly be on their side if things got nasty with the Social Worker. Allison loved being alone with Nathan like this. Their talking helped formulate her thinking. She knew how they all thought about her being so defensive, but also knew it didn't matter how much money she had if people wanted to be disagreeable. To Allison,...
I twiddled my thumbs nervously as I stared out the large transparent-aluminum viewing port that was designed to show off the docking ships. Normally I wouldn't have been uptight, but currently there was only one ship docked at the star-base and it was a "Dragon" owned ship. My chances , it seemed, of getting out of my 6 month unemployment streak were slim. Most of the humanoid dragons preferred to keep a pretty straight-forward crew of just "Dragons", but there were occasions...
Revanche rushed into Raimi's following the sounds of the puppy howling like a demented beast, throwing open the door he almost ran in, Raimi stood in the water staring at him, Hellhound who had been running back and forth along the side of the pool recognizing Revanche and went bounding over, "You rushed in here like there was something wrong, what is it?" asked Raimi watching Revanche scratching Hellhounds ears, her arms crossed over her bare wet chest, Revanche looked up then quickly...

We mounted up and rode over to where Ab was getting ready to start the wagons moving again. "Howdy, Ab," I said as we pulled up. "Howdy. I see you've got a couple of new wranglers over your way," he said. "Yeah, they were having a hard time with their herd, so we worked out a deal where, we'd mix the two herds together and one or both of the boys would help with the herding." Ab smiled real big. "And for that, you get part of their herd, right?" "Yep. I also agreed to hunt for...
After supper, I told Millie and Tess about my conversation with John. As I predicted, both of them thought he had done the right thing. April 17, 1845 We started out following the Big Nemaha River today and we'd follow it almost to its headwaters. Ab said we'd cross over to the West Fork of the Big Blue river at that point. Ab and I talked it over and decided to only shoot for ten or twelve miles for the day. I also met my first plains Indian today. I was probably seven or eight miles...
May 15, 1845 We spent a big part of the day climbing onto a plateau. I was scouting ahead and Millie and Lettie decided they were going with me today. We went ahead to the steep downgrade Ab had told me about. It had to be the steepest I had ever even heard of a wagon going down. Fortunately, the hill wasn't as long as I imagined it would be. Ab had mentioned wagons putting poles through all four wheels, but he said that even then the wagons sometimes pushed the oxen or mules pulling it to...
Abby was her normal playful self that afternoon. She is always a joy to be around. Millie and Lettie were not. Both of them talked to me and both seemed to go out of their way to touch me or smile at me, but they probably didn't speak five words to each other all afternoon. When bedtime rolled around, we all went into the wagon. I picked up some blankets and a tarp and told them Abby and I were going to sleep under the wagon tonight. "But..." Millie started to say, but I cut her...
"How are you feeling, big brother?" Tess asked. "Except for the leg, I feel fine, Tess. When are you going to let me start putting some weight on it?" Tess laughed. "I thought mom taught you more patience than that, Jase. Your wound looks good though. You've been getting around pretty good using the crutch. I'd like to see you keep using it for another week, at least. I imagine you're putting some weight on it now. How does it feel when you do?" "Well... It does still hurt a...
THE WILDS 2.9 LIGHT YEARS FROM LYCAVORIAN BORDER BLOOD REVERENCE-CLASS DREADNOUGHT INQUISITOR His curved talons clicked on the floor of the padded deck, his sixteen meter long body lean and muscular, though he was a bit leaner for his age of twenty three years old due to his poor diet. He had never been fed the correct proportions of protein rich food throughout his young life, and his abnormally large size for a Firespitter was only due to his ceaseless hunting forays. He should have...
SPARTA SOUTHERN SPACEPORT The ride down to Earth on MJOLNIR'S HAND'S single MENKLA Transport was many things to the many different individuals on board. To Athani'Puat it was the beginning of a new life. Athani was far more interested in what Earth and Sparta looked like, for she alone knew the path to her future lay here with Resumar Leonidas. He had been true to his word and while they had showered together he had simply washed her body thoroughly with gentle strokes and loving...
Work was progressing nicely, and the base was down. The eight airlocks were in place, and the bottom 4m of perpendicular walls had gone up. The supports for the dome roof had been erected. They were waiting to be covered. This dome didn’t have the same radius in its height to its base. It more closely resembled the top third of a ball after being cut-off. Unlike the dome on the ship, this dome appeared smokier, due to the intense light. The glass’s special properties were going to be very...
*** Dana, the huntmistress of the Serpent King, she who was known in the land as Dragon Queen, blew down the dusty corridor in a powerful stride. Servants scuttled to corners to allow her passage, their heads jerking low in subservience. Guards snapped to attention and prayed she did not have time to notice any minor lapse in protocol. “Lady Dana! Truly a pleasure to catch you – might I trouble you for a moment of your time?” A minor noble, a lad of barely sixteen summers, tried to...
The rift between realms remained open for eight days before closing. Dragons and their cousins came through and spread like ants. There was no one that lived to give a number as the dragons and drakes flew away. Huge lizards crawled and ate anything green and wingless dragons hunted anything that moved. My father was a smith and my mother a mage alchemist. I did not have magic and did not want to be a smith. I did enjoy the way a weapon felt in my hand. When the dragons began raiding and...
HOPE'S QUEST SIXTEEN HOURS UNTIL LAST PIRATE GATE Martin held the data pad in his hand as he traced the star chart on the table in front of him with the index finger of his opposite hand. The mug of coffee was set on the table in the corner and had gone cold hours ago. The trip so far had gone off without a hitch. Yuriko and Filrian were acting as the faces and voices of HOPE'S QUEST, and so far the pirate forces in the area were none the wiser and they had passed through two of the three...
