It had been a few days since Wendell had been here fixing up her dilapidated house, and she had cut work to help him. Her windowpane had been sanded and painted to look nearly new. Only the wear on the glass gave away the fact that it wasn’t brand new. Old and broken bricks had been...

It was rare that Wendell got a night off, and rarer still that he would have the energy to spend it making love into the wee hours of the morning. The pair of them must have only gotten three hours sleep before the noise of a new day saw them wake, early morning sunlight streaming in...

The harrowing encounter in the training yard had left Wendell bruised and cut up and Rei shaky and startled. The short and stocky man, whose name she never caught, was a brute and had been rather brutal in his beating, utilizing a broken off chair leg as a bludgeoning device. Wendell...
It had been six trials since Wendell had walked in on her one time escapade with Patrick and had, surprisingly, decided to join them. It had taken those six trials for her to work up the courage to face Wendell again, finding herself walking to his house that night. Almost instantly...
The Bottom of the Bottle
Vhalar 50 716, 23rd Break
Location: Patrick's Apartment.
The crisp cool weather had required him to wear a jacket to work when the evenings strolled around, as the night nearly met its peak with the moons high on their rise. Patrick had worked late with a few other...

It had been only a day or two since her steamy romp in her home with Wendell. She had not expected to give in to the passionate lust that was burning within her that night, but it had been hard to ignore. After they had fallen asleep together, his arms wrapped around her middle and...
Though she was groggy, she could feel the pain distinctly. Her face had ached and throbbed more than she had expected over the last three trials. The right side of her face was a nice purple and black from the cheek area around her lip to the bottom half of her eye. A bit of brown...

It had been several days since the deeply attractive Wendell with his enchanting blue eyes had come to the infirmary to have his infected tattoo treated. Of course it happened to be on his bottom and that had made a very interesting visit for both of them. She hated to admit it, but...
The first drink is on us!

Ideas were better after a drink or two, at least that had always been his father's logic, so when Wendell found himself stumbling out of some backwater tattoo studio with an empty bottle of wine in his hand and short a few coins of gold, he had thought nothing off his spur of the...

He could smell the remnants of recent rain in the air, soaked deep within the earth. It filled the space around him like a comfort blanket of immediate past. The rumbling of storm was gradually quietening on the horizon. It was gone. It passed. Opening his eyes, however, he...
