Veiled Girl With Lute – 12

She came awake in a strange bed and could not remember how she got there. Beside her, Nathaniel was still sleeping on his side with a proprietary arm flung across her chest. Light filtered through a trio of slatted...

Veiled Girl With Lute – Part 11

“Oh, Jesus… I… don’t know what you want.” The words came out like staggered steps. She really didn’t know: sifting through a thousand petty transgression she thought significant at the time but, which now, seemed laughable. “Think, Gennie. Think.”...

Veiled Girl With Lute – 10

He let her scream for what seemed like a very long time. In the darkness it was easy to scream. Now Gennie knew why the need for a driver, why not Nathaniel’s car. There was no offer of comfort,...

Veiled Girl With Lute – 9

Nathaniel arrived looking like a man who’d never perspired in his life: in a charcoal suit, demure silk tie, and what she supposed passed for his date-face.  Gennie struggled into her only pair of high heels and walked down...

Veiled Girl With Lute – 8

Gennie was sure she would not sleep with him lying beside her, but exhaustion took her nonetheless. Despite the shower, she dreamed of suffocating and woke up gasping, flailing blindly in the darkness.  A large arm surrounded her waist...

Abyssal Depths –  The Art of the Mindfuck

The topic of the mindfuck has been on my mind of late. I’ve had ongoing discussions with @DarkGracie on the subject, and a lovely face-to-face conversation about it with two people from different ends of the power spectrum: MisterGryphon...

Death Comes to the Poet

When death came to the old poet, it came not as a pale horse or a scythe-bearing monk. She came on an August afternoon, after the angry sun had nestled behind the ancient fig tree outside his window. No...

A Second Innocence

Beyond debauchery lies a mute innocence. Not of a child, but of senses burned so raw that experience is reduced to the hiss of a dead television and only silence feels new. I’ve been a pilgrim in the searing...

The Sublime Angst of the Condom Aisle

Most of you are probably too young to know this, but there was a time when, if you wanted to buy condoms, you had to go to the pharmacy counter and ask for them. A stern man or woman...

Drag yourself between my legs in a state of moral undress. With the queasiness of reprehensible behaviour clawing up the rungs of your spine and the effervescence of broken rules fizzing in your blood. I’m not interested in snow...

It Was A Pleasure To Burn – The Tattoo

I’ve always wanted a tattoo. I like the idea of marked flesh – but not casually or without thought, I know many people who see a design they like and go for it. Through the years, I’ve pondered on...

Yesterday, Burning Book Press sent out a call for submissions for a ‘Best Male Erotica Anthology 2013‘ to be edited by Raziel Moore and Will Crimson. Historically, pornographic (sexually explicit) writing has been almost the exclusive preserve of men,...

Tourist

Tourist – Part 4

Julian hadn’t meant to do that.  It was a tiny nick, to be sure, but the fact that it hadn’t been intentional, that he’d neglected to anticipate the girl’s...

Tourist – Part 3

“Oh, no, no, no…” she said, so softly, more air than words, as if anything louder could trigger a cataclysm. The tip of the knife. Its impossible point hiccupped...

Tourist – Part 2

In Julian’s experience, people who willfully sought their own degradation were those who could afford to do so. Seated in the recesses of the faux suede banquette, he surveyed...

Tourist – Part 1

“It’s what she wants.” Impatience turned the words brittle.  Marcus arched an eyebrow and gave me one curt nod, then relented. “And it’s what you want or you wouldn’t...

Exhale (Exile)

I have squirmed, wriggled, pushed and begged without success; the world simply won’t welcome me into the order of things. Even as a child, skinny and unkempt, I hovered...

The Exquisite Pleasure of Nakedness

The Exquisite Pleasure of Nakedness

Such a small thing, a simple pleasure, that hardly rates as racy. True, it is sold, marketed, packaged, promoted, bought, we use cunts and rate them like rotting fruit....
