Happy Halloween
I write sensual, erotic romance with an artistic mind. I believe romance can be found in the little things in every day life. Being married to a pilot is challenging and exciting, therefore I share tips on love, romance and joy as well as my adventures of traveling, good food and drink. Hopefully, others may find my posts amusing or inspiring. On a personal note, I suffer from Fibromyalgia and writing is an escape. Some days are better than others, but the goal is to find something joyful every day.

The Halloween Surprise
A couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween Party. She got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need of his good time being spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for one hour, awakened without pain, and as it was still early, she decided to go to the party. In as much as her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new stuff that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was her husband. Finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a little bang.
Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in and asked what kind of a time he had had. He said, "Oh the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."
Then she asked, "Did you dance much?"
He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But I'll tell you... The guy I loaned my costume to sure had a real good time!"

Happy Spells to You!
Samhain
Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31st, having roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints’ Day (All Hallowed Eve).
The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through.
It was understood that in dark silence comes whisperings of new beginnings, the stirring of the seed below the ground. The most magically potent time of this festival is November Eve, the night of October 31st, known today of course, as Halloween. *Chalice Centre
By artist J Joy Nocifora ©2011
The apple is an ancient symbol of fertility and knowledge in folklore, and often appears in love spells.
One of the most popular divinations using apples is for a woman to cut the peel in one long strip and throw it behind her on the ground. The peel should fall into the shape of a letter of the alphabet corresponding to the initial of the man she will marry.
"I pare this apple round and again
My sweetheart's name to flourish plain
I fling the pairing o'er my head
My sweetheart's letter on the ground be read."
Another version is that a woman cuts and eats an apple in front of a mirror at midnight and the image of her future lover will appear in the mirror’s reflection and ask to share the apple.
The Apple and the Mirror
Before the stroke of midnight, sit in front of a mirror in a room lit only by one candle or the moon. Go into the silence, and ask a question.
Cut the apple into nine pieces. With your back to the mirror, eat eight of the pieces then throw the ninth over your left shoulder. Turn your head to look over the same shoulder, and you will see an image or symbol in the mirror that will tell you your answer.
When you look in the mirror, let your focus go soft and allow the patterns made by the moon or candlelight and shadows suggest forms, symbols and other dreamlike images that speak to your intuition.

From ShapeShifter Seductions ~ Hunters Moon Costume Party
Howls and Yowls, shapeshifter lovers.
Here's a flash scene I wrote recently for SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. This is a costume party you might like to attend. I know I would.
~~~~~~
Predators Meet Prey ~ The Rabbit Trickster
Standing before her bedroom’s full length mirror, Karly peered over her shoulder at her large fluffy white bunny tail. She gave her butt a shimmy-shake, appreciating how the realistic puff wiggled invitingly. She also took several long moments to appreciate how her trim athletic figure looked in her version of a Playboy Bunny costume. That is, what she could throw together at the last minute from lingerie shops, and the small costume boutique in Talbot’s Peak proper.
After a wicked little smile at herself, Karly strutted in her black stilettos across the floor and reached for her witch’s black velvet cape. With a flick of her wrists, she swirled it, draping it around her shoulders.
She gave her gently waving, sable-colored hair a toss, freeing it from beneath the cape before she grabbed her evening bag. Being a black coyote shapeshifter, the color was a close match to her coat.
Satisfied her rabbit ears remained secure, Karly grinned, anticipating her trickster prank. After all, every now and then her perverse nature needed to assert itself.
“Predators Meet Prey, Hunters Moon Costume Party, here I come,” she murmured, moving down the winding staircase toward her brother.
Per the party rules, Kevin had made his shifter side obvious with a faux coyote tail and ears. He’d attired himself in the swashbuckling style of a Musketeer, complete with a rapier dangling at his side. To her sisterly eye, his handsomeness couldn’t be, and wouldn’t be denied.
Waiting by the front door of their parents’ well-to-do, newly constructed home, he jerked it open impatiently. “I should never have let you con me into this. You and that fox-sly tongue of yours.” Kevin scowled at her as if she’d just caused him to lose a plump pheasant dinner.
Holding the door, the reluctant gentleman, he growled, “We’re going to be late. Late as in I don’t want Reba shaking her fluffy tail for any other predator.”
“Oh, get a grip, cavalier stud. We won’t be late. Not with the way you drive. Lead foot and all.” Karly passed beneath his arm, smirking a smile up at him -- some combo of sibling irritation and her deep fondness for him.
With a soft snarl, Kevin followed her to his low-slung, expensive sports car, parked nearby on their circular drive. “Just remember, we don’t know each other.”
“Oh, don’t get your butt fur in a matted wad,” Karly sang, once she gripped the passenger side handle. “We don’t look like each other, and we’re new in town.”
***
Having politely fended off several men who wanted a piece of her bunny tail -- two wolves, a fox and a damn fine mountain lion -- Karly took a sip of her Flirtini. Keenly aware she had several, hard-panting admirers, Karly rolled her hips as she sauntered toward the spacious dance floor.
True, when she’d first arrived at the Pleasure Club, Dante, the werewolf obviously in charge, despite his low-key presence, had given her the once over as if he suspected she wasn’t playing by the rules. His intense gaze had raked her but good, and Karly held her breath for several moments. However, after a quick upturn of his lips, he’d looked away, attending to another matter.
So far, her little trickster game had been highly amusing, in a twisted, predator-mind bending way. Also, it’d proven entertaining to note the different approaches, the different come-ons predators used when flirting with the prey shapeshifters they wanted to jump, hump and bippity-bop bump to the lusty heights of orgasmic pleasure.
And, if it was one thing Karly enjoyed, it was learning for the sake of learning itself. Simply because it suited her, she taught online college courses -- Animals in Myth and Legend.
On the far side of the dance floor, an excellent samba ensemble played both recognizable tunes and their original music. The quality surprised her, given Karly hadn’t expected this level of sophistication in the backwater Montana town.
All about survival these days, her parents had decided on making the move to Talbot’s Peak while they could easily do so. Karly hadn’t protested too vigorously, given she realized a change was needed in her life. And, here it was.
And, yes, there it was. Twins by the nearly identical look of the two coyote shifters, who were costumed as Native American Skinwalkers. Holy damn, the two bronze-skinned, gorgeously sculpted men with shoulder-length dark hair, eyed her like a hunting prize.
Karly continued across the room at a leisurely pace. When they locked their gazes on her, both of them, she moved in their general direction, swaying in time to the samba music.
Only... why couldn’t she scent them? Karly had masked her own canine smell. Before she could think of how to sniff them, they suddenly darted toward her, striding powerfully, silently.
Karly froze in her tracks, an unusual reaction for her.
***
Dirk angled around the woman shapeshifter he and his brother had decided belonged to them for the rest of the evening, and long into the night. With her sleek, yet luscious curves displayed to perfection by her Playboy Bunny costume... her long shapely legs begging for their caresses... her onion-round ass their loins ached to feel as they took turns mounting her... her pert breasts shaped for their hands and the roaming pleasure of their lips...
Deke roved his gaze over the woman’s refined lovely face first... then he stared at the shining beauty of her dark, red-burnished hair. Her wary gaze, the golden yellow glow deep within her black-as-midnight eyes gave her away now. His shaman senses hadn’t lied, despite the fact that he and Dirk hadn’t been able to determine her species scent.
She was coyote. Coyote shifting woman.
Stepping toward her, Deke took her drink and set it to the side. He captured strands of her hair, letting the heavy silkiness slip through his fingers. “Beautiful trickster, you are caught.”
“You are caught,” Dirk echoed, as he gently trapped her against his body from behind.
“Caught?” she burst out breathlessly, then made a move to escape them.
Deke pressed himself against her, halting her steps. He watched as his brother stroked his hands down her arms, and held her lightly. Feather-soft, Deke slid the back of his finger beneath her chin. “What’s your name, coyote woman?”
“Rabbit,” she accused instead. “You two are rabbits.”
“Hare, actually.” Dirk teased his nose down a strand of her hair until his lips brushed the rim of her ear. Her breath jerked inward, and her eyelids fell shut in pleasure. “Even though, we are called jackrabbits,” he rasped into the shell of her delicate human ear.
“Don’t tell anyone,” Deke cautioned in a joking tone. He touched his fingertip to the center of her full lips.
Her gaze flew to his, vulnerable yet wild and fierce with warning. “Why not?”
“For us, deception is often a matter of survival.” Dirk cupped her shoulders, and caressed.
“Why is that?” she snapped with coyote haughtiness, even as her body became molten against Deke.
Dirk pressed closer, and she gasped a tiny whimper.
“Shamans have many enemies in these times,” Deke answered. Threading his fingers in her hair, he tenderly slipped his thumbpads along her lovely, lovely cheekbones.
“As your kind does,” Dirk added. “Dance with me, coyote woman.”
“Skinwalkers,” she murmured only for their hearing, even as she moved to turn toward Dirk.
Deke watched her, felt her flow into his brother’s embrace. Already her hips undulated to the Samba’s sensual beat. “You are caught. Tell us your name,” he gently ruled.
“I don’t know your names,” she protested, her voice husky with her rising heat. “Rabbits,” she uttered. “Hares,” she corrected herself. “I am caught by Jackrabbits. It should be the other way around.”
“Didn’t you know?” Dirk crooned to her, as his hands swept over his hips, then her sweet-riding ass. “Rabbits, Hares are the original tricksters.”
“So, it was decreed by the Goddess many, many moons ago.” Deke lightly gripped her thighs, and stroked upward. His palms claimed the full swell of her ass before he tugged her fake tail. Briefly.
Like the sassy woman coyote she was, their captured trickster shook her rabbit tail for him. Deke rumbled a carnal growl.
“Karly,” she announced in a queen bitch’s tone. “My name is Karly.”

An erotic novel by best-selling author K D Grace.
Blurb
In appreciation for a job well done, STELLA JAMES 's boss sends her a pet – a human pet. The mischievous TINO comes straight from THE PET SHOP complete with a collar, a leash, and an erection. Stella soon discovers the pleasure of keeping Pets, especially this one, is extremely addicting.
Obsessed with Tino and with the reclusive philanthropist, VINCENT EVANSTON, who looks like Tino, but couldn’t be more different, Stella is drawn into the secret world of The Pet Shop. As her animal lust awakens, Stella must walk the thin line that separates the business of pleasure from the more dangerous business of the heart or suffer the consequences.
Excerpt
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS," O'Kelly said, nearly dropping the phone. "You can't really mean to give Stella James Tino for the whole weekend. Wouldn't a nice gift voucher from Selfridges be more appropriate?"
The Boss offered her a tolerant chuckle on the other end of the phone. "Didn't she tell you she thought an occasional shag wasn't too much to ask for doing such a demanding job?"
"Yes, but she was joking. I'm sure she never expected–"
"Well, she's right. It isn't too much to ask, is it? She's a very dedicated employee, and we've always done our best to reward dedicated employees, especially one with such promise, one that we have such plans for."
"Yes but–"
"Hasn't she met and surpassed our expectations since she's joined Strigida, and didn't we both agree she's exactly what we're looking for?"
"Yes, but–"
"She's not in a relationship, right?"
She rolled her eyes and glanced down at her watch. He was on a roll. Nothing for it now but to hear him out.
"No relationship, no family. Stella can afford to live in London because she has no life outside of work, all factors we took into account when we hired her. There's no arguing she doesn't have time for sex." He paused long enough for a quick breath. "Sorry to say that's the way of the world these days. All work and no play. Very sad. Very sad indeed."
"Yes, sir. It is sad, but, sir, Tino?"
"Yes. Tino."
"OK, maybe for a couple of hours, maybe. But surely not for the whole weekend."
"Yes, for the whole weekend, O'Kelly, from Friday night till Sunday evening. Every last second of it."
O"Kelly rubbed her forehead impatiently then rolled her shoulders to loosen the knots, which she could always count on the Boss to tighten. "It's not that the woman doesn't deserve a weekend of blow-your-brains-out sex. God knows she does, but ..."
"But what, O'Kelly? Get to the point."
O"Kelly squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. She found the whole thing a bit embarrassing, actually. "Well, sir, she's just so ..."
"So what?"
"She's just so tight laced, so prim and proper. I don't know – all business. I can't help but wonder if we've made a mistake, and even if we haven't, a weekend with Tino is just so hardcore at this stage, don't you think?" She straightened in her chair and brushed her skirt free of the few remaining crumbs from the sandwich she had wolfed for lunch. "I can't picture her being the kind who could appreciate or even be able to handle a weekend with Tino."
"Prim and proper? Really? You just told me she was joking about the company providing sex as a fringe benefit for its overworked employees. Doesn't sound very prim and proper to me. In fact she sounds like exactly the woman we've been looking for."

Flirty Friday - Flirting & Conversation
Conversation plays an important role in the flirting process as it is the time when you actually get to know more about one another. The overall goal is to find out if the other person is right for you.
They key to good, flirtatious conversation is to remember that men and women think differently. Either way, make sure you:
* Listen attentively.
* Find common ground. The most important aspect of your conversation is to find out what you have in common, be it hobbies, friends, jobs, or whatnot.
* Don't talk about yourself too much. Answer his questions, but be sure to ask questions about him as well.

13 Eye Candy Shots
Who doesn't love eye candy? I've been collecting some for book videos and other projects. Here are some of my favorites. All these images show some type of submission. Click the image to open full sized.
1. Perfect symmetry. This image is a great mix of color and light. Facing away, legs spread, the body is open to view.
2. Fluid movement. In this shot, the body and cloth form a smooth line, drawing the eyes in a sweeping path. Performance is a form of submission, permitting others to see the body.
3. Square-power. The strength of the body is reflected in the position of the arms across the chest, squaring off the image. The defiance of the pose is off set by the fact that he's sitting.
4. Balance. The model's arms and legs are posed similarly. This is a beautiful image of submission in pose as well as clothing.
5. Form plus color. This image relflects symmetry, grace, and power. The turned head and barely covered body reveals willingness to be viewed, despite the strong position of hands, and the bar of color across the body.
6. Same model, same cloth, different pose. Notice how the difference in pose and lighting changes the entire feeling of the image? Is this more or less open than the one above?
7. Use of shadow and light. Not showing the model's face evokes an image of submission, even without the leather trappings.
8. Darkness and light. The model's hidden face and raised arms signal submission here as well. The expression revealed when the shirt is removed will determine whether it's real.
9. The tilted back head and arms behind the body put this model in a position of submission. I imagine a vampire would have a hard time resisting this image!
10. This one comes across as defiant. Is he? Or is it nerves?
11. Placement ofthe hat says he's shy. The open gloves say he likes to protect himself, but wants to experience everything he can.
12. Is he putting on the shirt, or taking it off?
13. Completely open body, vulnerable, exposed. Swimsuits leave little to the imagination. In this case, very little. ;
A submissive male body is a beautiful sight. The power inherent in submission is there as well. All these poses show it -- if you look.

Tuesday Potpourri
Hi,I stumbled (yikes, don't know what that means in terms of research) onto this whimsy and thought I'd share. I'm now watching myself walk as I pass windows and mirrors.
Whimsy:
Whimsy:
A woman's history of vaginal orgasm
is discernible from her walk!!
Researchers examined the association of general everyday body movement with history of vaginal orgasm to determine if trained observers could infer women's history of vaginal orgasm by watching them walk. Women volunteers were videotaped and supplied orgasmic history for comparative data. Study Found on MedLine~Here
CONCLUSION: Observers deduced, greater pelvic and vertebral rotation and stride length resulted in fluidity, energy, sensuality, and freedom...and in 81.25% of the time these were characteristics seen in the gait of women who had experienced vaginal orgasm.

Thursday Thirteen ~ So, What Do Hellhounds Eat?
Witchy greetings, everyone. While this is NOT an official Thursday Thirteen post, I thought I’d stay in the ‘spirit’. It’s October 13, and after all, this is the season of the witch -- of ALL things spooky-paranormal.
With that in mind here’s the *first 13 paragraphs of Chapter Thirteen* from KANDY APPLE AND HER HELLHOUNDS.
In this scene Zin and Zol are being perfect gentlemen, wooing their chosen witch. If you want their hellbeastly side ‘in and out’ of the bedroom, there’s plenty of Hellhound action in their erotic love story with Kandace.
~~~~~~
Chapter Thirteen:
So, What Do Hellhounds Eat?
So, What Do Hellhounds Eat?
“Ladies first,” Zol crooned in his best Cary Grant.
He and Zin watched their witch delicately stab a slice of creamy potato with her fork. A moment after she slipped it between her lips, she moaned with appreciation, her eyelids falling shut as she savored.
Unable to take their eyes off her for several instants, Zol finally raised his own fork, breaking the femme fatale spell she’d cast over them.
He and Zin fastened their gazes, communing the depth of their desire for her.
“I will enjoy cooking even more in the future.” Zin deftly forked a slice of beef.
“Eat,” she encouraged, not looking at them. “I am.”
Between surreptitious glances at her, Zol hungrily fueled his human body, as did his twin.
“Mmmm…delicious scallops.” She finished off the last one with a sensuous relish. He and Zin simply stared at her, their food hanging from their forks. “I’ve never had the nerve to cook them.”
“I could teach you.” Zin offered her one of his scallops.
She shook her head. “No, thank you. That was the perfect amount. I can’t wait to eat the rest of this incredible asparagus. Cooking lessons.” She laughed. “I’m not the best student.”
“Zin can be quite patient.” Consuming his own portion of asparagus, Zol watched her lift one spear high, tip her head back, then eat it one bite at a time. She was the loveliest of heathens, he decided.
“I suppose that wasn’t proper etiquette.” She grinned impishly, her face and eyes shining. “But, I’m going to do it again.”
“Please.” Finished, Zin set his silverware down. “Your throat and your profile are bewitchingly beautiful.”
BONUS PARAGRAPH:
“So, what do hellhounds eat?” With finesse she chose another spear. “Anything or anyone they want?”

Blurb ~
Kandace doesn’t know why she’s a real witch. Despite her powers, she can’t find her bio parents. When the Tuxedo Twins tempt her with knowledge about her heritage at a charity event, Kandace agrees to dance with the mysterious Supernaturals. Unexpectedly, they are threatened by the omnipresent evil she’s been warned about in her dreams. To keep from being enslaved, Kandace brings forth her greater magick. But, to save her homeworld, she needs her hellhounds.
Zolivar and Zindale, two of Hades’ most mission-accomplished Hellhounds, see a witch sliding down the bannister after her heist of a painting. Spellbound, they know they’ve found just the right Kandy Apple to lick for Halloween. With every passion, Zin and Zol woo their chosen witch. Yet, will their Triad mate stay once she learns they can’t fall in love like humans? Or, will she return to her homeworld? Their very lives are at stake.
~~~~~~
Have a Magickal Season of the Witch!

Interview with a Pleasure Slave
Khyff Antonello, the hero in For Women Only, was the Senior Security Advisor for the company For Women Only, a high-profile celebrity protection service for females.
At one time, Khyff was also a slake -- a pleasure slave -- and performed the same type of service as a Jade in Empress Destoiya's stable of men. This interview takes place in the period shortly after the the book Alitus, Tales of the Chosen begins. The fictional newsletter, The Tarthian Chronicles (TC), did the interview.
Thank you for agreeing to this interview with the Tarthian Chronicles. What does the company For Women Only do?
Khyff: We call it "FWO." We offer the highest possible security to celebrity female clientele without disrupting or interfering with their lives.
TC: So this service is for stars?
Khyff: More than just stars. We provide security for politicians, government workers, even high profile criminals. It doesn't matter. If you're female and a celebrity, For Women Only takes care of you. For a price, of course.
TC: What sort of things do you do to protect them?
Khyff: FWO makes its presence known to outsiders, warns them off, muscles in between the public and the celebrity, protects them from bomb threats, stalkers, weirdoes and fanatics. Physical and virtual. To outsiders, we're visible. Extremely so. However, to the celebrity, FWO is invisible. FWO makes their lives normal again.
TC: What is your typical day like? And this time please give us a few more details.
Khyff: I wish I had a typical day. [laughs] It's different, all the time. I have toured with two rock groups, a symphonic orchestra, watched over several politicians, and spent a month guarding a woman who was a political prisoner. For the rock group Wind and Thunder, I was Point Man, in charge of security, top to bottom. One hundred human guards, over a thousand droids.
TC: Is it true you were a slake, and what does the word mean?
Khyff: A slake is a prostitute. In our language, to slake means to quench or satisfy. Yes, I was, from the time I was fourteen -- not a legal age even in the empire, but I was a slave, and unable to free myself. My half brother Senth's adoptive father, Luc Saint-Cyr, helped me gain my freedom when I was twenty.
TC: How did you meet Empress Destoiya?
Khyff: [sits up straighter, quiet for a moment] She had me kidnapped to force my brother to comply with her wishes. I'm lucky to be here. To tell the truth, for a while there, I didn't think I'd ever be free again.
The Empress Takes Charge |
TC: She made you part of her stable of male pleasure slaves, yet the rumor is that you were never her slave.
Khyff: That's true. She didn't give me a choice about joining, but I wasn't her slave. It was a temporary thing.
TC: How long is temporary?
Khyff: In my case it was a matter of a few days. Others have been with her for years, like Alitus.
TC: Is it true that you made her beg to stop?
Khyff: [Blushes] Yes, it is.
TC: How did you do that? What's your secret?
Khyff: When I was a slake, the other sex workers called me the Machine, because I could give pleasure without taking it. The secret is simple. I hated being forced and only wanted to be finished with it because my masters forbid me to eat until I'd serviced my quota for the day. I learned to turn off all my emotions so I could get through it. As the Machine, sex meant nothing. But since I've been married, [lowers head and smiles almost shyly] sex means everything.
TC: Do you still have friends from your time as a slake?
Khyff: Good friends. Trink and Dazzle were slakes also. Now they own Batchelor's, a neighborhood bar that does really well.
TC: Those are odd names.
Khyff: Well, they're street names. Trink was short for Trinket, because his female clients loved to show him off. His real name's Terellee, but don't print that! He'd kill me for blabbing. The name Dazzle came from Ivan's smile. He's got this mouthful of perfect teeth. You know the type? Looks like he has more teeth than any human should. They're both great friends of mine.
TC: What was it like having sex with the Insatiable Empress? How did she treat you?
Khyff: The empress gave me to her friends as if I were no more than a sex toy. I have no fond memories of my time with her.
TC: You didn't enjoy sex with her at all? Was she a bad lover?
Khyff: Rheyn Destoiya is not called the Conqueror simply because she overtakes worlds. She overtakes people as well. She rules her lovers. Dominates them. And no, I'm not referring to her penchant for dominance or submission, although I know for a fact she likes that. I'm referring to her emotional dominance. She's demanding, but I will admit she knows how to provide physical pleasure. She knows how to take it, too.
TC: How much truth is there to the rumor that you were famous for "theme sex," and can you tell us what it is?
The Empress and a Jade |
Khyff: [Chuckles] That's quite true. "Theme sex" is when you provide a scenario for a client, such as being a space pirate or dressing like a soldier. Living out a fantasy for them.
TC: Can you tell us one of your most successful themes?
Khyff: Hmmm. [strokes his chin thoughtfully] I used to get a lot of requests for the copbot theme.
TC: Could you tell us more about that, please?
Khyff: I wore a skin-tight silver costume that made me look liquid metal. I had to pull back my hair (it was down over my shoulders back then) and wear a helmet and eye shades. Those thick-soled cop boots that come up to the knee, weapon belt. All the details. It was pretty convincing. [tilts head] Maybe that's why they first started calling me the Machine.
TC: Were you ever tempted to impersonate a copbot outside the slakehouse?
Khyff: Are you crazy? One foot outside the door in costume and I'd have been in prison so fast you'd blink and miss seeing it. Besides, people on the street never got to see what went on inside a slakehouse unless they paid for it. Nothing was ever given away except some glimpses of flesh and a list of available services. Teaser posters. Stuff like that.
TC: So, what did you do as this copbot? Were you supposed to rough-up your clients or what?
Khyff: A few liked that. I always handcuffed them.
TC: More details please. [smiling] The readers want to get to know you.
Khyff: [blushes] All right. The handcuffs I used were plasteen ones that don't damage skin, but there's no way to escape them. Once you're bound, you're staying that way until someone releases you. Clients liked being helpless because they'd paid for pleasure and they knew I was going to give it to them. But they were going to have to wait for me to decide when they'd get it. It added to the lust.
TC: And then what? What came next?
Khyff: After I "arrested" the client I'd strip search her. Part of the scenario was that the prisoner would offer to have sex with me if I'd let her go, but because I was an android, she'd have to throw herself at me to get a response.
TC: Did you enjoy that one?
Khyff: [grins] Hey, I'm human, not an android, even if they did call me the Machine.
TC: Who taught you how to please a client sexually?
Khyff: When I was fourteen, they gave me to two female slakes who were supposed to teach me how to pleasure them. I spent three days and nights with them before they turned me loose on the streets.
TC: That seems awfully young.
Khyff: It was. The legal age of consent is fifteen in the empire, so they were marketing me unlawfully. There were enough corrupt cops to cover them, but eventually that master got caught in a sting operation and is now in jail.
TC: Are slakes mistreated?
Khyff: The law provides safeguards, and if they're followed, you're in good shape. But I was never very lucky. My masters always kept me on Thrust, a sex-enhancing drug. The drug kept me erect for days. I'd do anything I had to in order to gain sexual release, but it wouldn't last when I was on Thrust.
TC: They say some slakes are abused. Were you?
Khyff: Yes. I was physically and sexually abused from the day I started working as a slake. If I hadn't reconnected with my brother and eventually gained my freedom, I might be dead right now. Thrust can kill you in large doses. So can a cruel master, and I had an unlucky knack for getting the worst of them.
TC: Did you like sex?
Khyff: Sex? Yes, when it was with someone pleasant. But I'd never been loved by anyone until I met my wife.
TC: We promised not to ask questions about your marital relationship, so can you tell me, as a slake, did you have a favorite sexual position?
Khyff Antontello |
Khyff: [closes eyes briefly and sighs] I adored having a woman on top of me, feeling her sheath convulse around me during her orgasm, but I think my very favorite position was rather old-fashioned. I loved being on top so I could thrust into her. I love the way a woman's body feels when I stroke inside and she's all hot and wet. The way she bounces against me. But then, standing up is great, too, because I could brace her against the wall and all that wet heat would press her down on my—[coughs] I had a lot of favorites, now that I think about it. My body always lusted too easily.
TC: What was the most unusual sexual position you learned and how is it done?
Khyff: [grins] The Three-Eyed Turtle is wild. How can I say this politely—after, um, penetration, the male rotates 360 degrees above the female. Takes a bit of cooperation to complete. Definitely too much work for the amount of pleasure you get from it, if you ask me.
TC: Tell us about one of the all-male brothels where you worked, please.
Khyff: The only one I worked in that had all male slakes was called the Dinner Club. It catered exclusively to women in politics, so the name sounded like a restaurant. I didn't last long there.
TC: Why was that?
Khyff: It's embarrassing to say. Two members of Parliament got in a fight over me. They each claimed they'd paid for me for the night and neither one would back down. I was only trying to calm things down when I suggested they share me at no charge. The next morning my master sold me because I was "unruly". I hadn't been the one to start the fight. That always bothered me. It wasn't fair. [smiles] But the senators were happy and they both tipped me very well. One of them often visited me at the next place I worked.
TC: Is it true that slakes who have—how to put this delicately—larger equipment cost more than the other guys?
Khyff: So, that's why I made my masters all that money. [again the shy smile. He looks down at his hands]
TC: [fans self] Uh, thank you for your frank answers, Khyff.
Khyff: [lifts his gaze slowly] My pleasure.
