Short works
I submitted a 5000 word piece for the fourth Campus Sexploits issue. I also wrote a piece for the Word Count Podcast. I need to record myself reading it before the weekend.
The Fae
This is my fun side project I'm working on. I haven't had a chance to work on it at all in the last week, but I'm hoping to get back into it. Verte and Grey have appeared in Flasher Fiction Friday a few times and Saturdays AfterDark at least once. I'm going to tease you from this one as it has the most recent writing. Bear in mind, this is a first draft.
Grey shifted his hand to hers,
pulling her along. “Nearly there,” he promised.
She relaxed very little, wary of
every faerie they passed. She didn't truly ease until Grey opened a
door and held it for her. She ducked in and sighed heavily.
The room was nothing like the
faintly coloured corridors. Pillars of brown held up a blue ceiling,
trees and sky. The floor was green, the one colour she hadn't been
able to find in Winter and she knelt, running her hands over the soft
carpet. It wasn't grass, but the illusion stood. After the initial
shock of real colour, she perceived that they were all slightly
muted. The blue sky was paler than natural, the brown trunks darker,
and the green carpet was only a few shades from black. It was
probably the only reason Grey wasn't blinded.
“I trust you'll be more
comfortable here?” he asked. His grin was wide.
“Yes!” she said, enthusiastic.
“It is acceptable for you? Summer is even bolder-”
“It's fine,” he said, smile not
fading. “I'm something of a freak among my relations, but I like a
bit more colour.” His fingers found and traced her cheek. “In
fact, I seem to like it more every day.”
She felt her pulse pick up, the
flush staining her already dark cheeks.
Grey seized her almost roughly, his
mouth crashing onto her. He took the bowl and set it aside, walking
her to one of the pillars. He pushed her arms back and she obediently
crossed her wrists behind the slender trunk. Cold bit her skin as he
tied them in ice.
“You were very good,” he told
her. “Despite your fear, you obeyed. You have earned a reward.”
Her eyes widened and brows lifted.
He'd never spoken of rewards before. Her breath caught as he knelt in
front of her, lifting her skirt. She couldn't watch for the fabric
bunched between them, but she didn't really need to. She sank into
her bonds, into his hands, and her knees spread out. Be it his tongue
or his fingers, the slight chill was soothing rather than painful,
arousing.
“Oh, yes,” she moaned.
“Come for me, Verte. Let me taste
the sap that runs through you.”
The image he conjured, one so far
removed from Winter, flooded her mind with growing. Flush leaves and
twigs, sugar bursting from cracked bark, oozing.
