I would happily absolve you of any and all stress about reading pace! I'm still behind on reading other folks' posts too (as my timing on this demonstrates 😅) and like Jared said too, the stories will still be there 💜

I enjoyed seeing the way these three and their differing relationships contrast and complement each other!

This story illustrates one of my fave things about kink. Something as "simple" as a blindfold, in the right hands, establishes a container for nourishment its recipient might otherwise struggle to receive: whether as lovingly planned tenderness, lusty abandon, and/or deep emotional intimacy. Lovely!

#Kinktober Day 7: Blindfold

This is a spoiler for Rachel's mid-series HFN but at least my #IndieKinktober can move past imagination & bi-pining.😜

Wanting to help her relax, a certain couple blindfolds Rachel and makes her feel much, much better.😩

Screenshot of a work-in-progress manuscript.

There is a curtain blocking off the living room. On the kitchen table is a strip of black cloth and note. It says, “Put the blindfold on and then say the magic words: I need to relax.”
[He] warned me about [her] sexual enthusiasm, and giving her an entire week to plan for these evenings often opens up her imagination. I have no idea what awaits me in the other room. With those two, it is as likely to be a fake beach, kiddie pool, and sun lamps to pretend I’m on vacation as it is to be [her] with a strap-on so they can take turns fucking me until I’m exhausted from pleasure.
Honestly, either sounds lovely after the week I have had.

Hey. HEY EVERYBODY. This HERE is an incredibly potent short story that uses its themes/tropes to say something beautiful and defiant, and also the worldbuilding is SUPER COOL. This is such a gorgeous example of how kinks enable the expression of ideas difficult to otherwise express. I LOVE IT.

I arrive at the last, and I am the last. I raise myself on my palm to my lips, and for once I hesitate, small arms embracing a large snout. As enjoyable as this has been, it does not alleviate my fear. But as it sinks into my core, I am already there, reminding myself that this time will be different. Even if it doesn’t go to plan, it’ll still be different.

I climb across my fangs and slide over the back of my tongue. I caress myself from inside and out, hands finding each other across simulated fat and muscle and fur. At least the outermost layer is convincing. The inner is nondescript, malleable, glistening ink that reveals my true nature. The outsides of my other selves will not remain intact for long.

In time, I begin to merge, to consolidate. At the same time, I dress myself. Nothing formal, I will be stripped before my arrival. All part of the process. I steady my breathing, force of habit. Useless air into a single, useless cavity. One lung, just for show. Just like my stomach. My teeth. My eyes. My personhood.

My apparent solitude.

Screenshotted text: His heart filled with warmth, melting the nascent resistance that had sparked within him. “I'll do it."

Silence took over the line. “Are you sure, Em?" Her measured tone was completely at odds with the sudden hunger in her eyes.

“Yes.” Once more he reached for the camera, wishing he could clasp her hand, and feel the press of her exquisite nails against his skin.

Including the two false ones on her index and middle fingers, which she removed when they—

“You think you can?” She leaned forward, nervous reserve replaced entirely by a teasing grin that bared her teeth. “My sweet little slut. You’re not thinking it’ll be easy, do you? I meant what I said about you being included in the rules. No taking the edge off when some sexy stranger leaves you all hot and bothered, or when Marc...” A little wriggle passed through her, and her sultry tone broke into unmasked excitement. “Oh, I’ve gotta have a whole talk with Marc.”

“I can do it,” he vowed. “For you.”

Now this is quality coping right here. Travel delays got you down? Stressed out by the pitiless void of space, and worse, there's no internet? Intentionally overstimulate your travel companion via soft, soft ears, a little custom body design, and some magic, until they make a nice distracting mess~

It’s all Mod can do not to squirm and draw attention, the soft pads of Sengsef’s gloved right hand in stark contrast with the textured, gripping surfaces of his prosthetic left creating a tactile melange his composure can hardly weather. The broad, fuzzy disks of his ears flick and twitch in Sengsef’s gentle grasp, and his clawed toes curl and scratch at the short carpet.

“Sengsef, there are people around…” Mod whines. He tips his head up to cast a plaintive look at Sengsef, who only meets him with a smug, peaceful smile.

“They’re not watching. But if you start kicking your leg like you do, they might.” Sengsef’s fingers glide around the rims of Mod’s ears, into the fluff where they connect to his head.

It’s quiet to anyone else, but the sound of it, combined with the lion’s delicate, precise touch, takes precedence over all else to Mod, whose eyes roll under fluttering lids, whose jaw tightens, whose…

He squeezes his thighs together, startled by the muffled clap they make from the force. Peeking with a single eye, he finds that it doesn’t turn any heads, thankfully, but it utterly fails to hide what he had meant to hide. His coveralls would do a fine job, unless one is specifically searching for irregularities beneath them.

“You’re getting hard from this?” Sengsef whispers. His breath feels hot, permeating the thin but sensitive flesh he so lovingly, deviously handles. “If that’s all it takes…”

Mmmm yummy 🥰 I want to have (or lick, let's be real) a tail like EITHER of these. Two different and sexy takes on sensitive tails with plenty of delectable details for the orally fixated among us~ (it's me, I'm one of the orally fixated among us)

Not quite finger sucking - while I had a few excerpts for that, this was more involved and larger as well; shorter than the rest so far though! Iolanda and Dom have fun exploring each other's tails. 1.5k words

"“I’d like to explore that tail, if you don’t mind,” she murmured, plunging her tongue deep into your mouth with a sharp moan that you echoed as her piercing changed the familiar gesture in exciting ways. “Or rather,” she giggled as you parted, “have it explore me.”

Her hand stroked down it, from your spine along its length – gently, very gently, but it still drew a high-pitched noise from your throat which put a sharp grin on Dom’s lips. “It seems… very sensitive,” she murmured appreciatively, interestedly. “Do you mind, if I-”

Rather than finish the question, she encouraged the tip of your tail toward her mouth, parting her lips and partially extending her tongue with a raised eyebrow."

Delicious! Two women bond over disability accommodations, biting, and the shared intimacy of intentional self alteration~ I LOVED watching Melissa's adorably awkward remove soften into earnest affection, with a sexy punch from her and Yhana's shared excitement at the Changes her venom enables!

“I think your venom might have some interesting metabolic effects. How much do you think I weigh?” Yhana’s eye flits to meet Melissa’s as she clicks the screen off.

“Oh! Uh…” Answer wisely, Melissa.

“Whatever your guess,” Yhana continues, rescuing the snake from the trap she set, “it’s probably about 20 kilos higher than that.”

“...It’s been four day cycles, how much do you ea–” Melissa stops herself, remembering Yhana’s participation in one of those game nights long ago. It had been a memorable one, to put it as euphemistically as possible. “Yeah, alright.”

“Yeah, alright,” Yhana chuffs, swirling a little shot glass of appetite enhancer, a dark broth bearing the restaurant’s insignia in luminous oil on its surface, topped with a heavier-than-air gas. “So are you up for it?”

“Up for it?…”

Yhana rolls her eyes and throws her drink back. “We can repeat each other all night instead, that’s fine too.”

“No, no, it’s not–” Melissa looks away, puffing her cheeks and furrowing her brow. She lets it go with a sigh, and pulls in what she hopes is something like assertiveness with the next breath before straightening her posture again. “This is a pretty significant side effect, Yhana. Are we sure this is all it’s doing?”

“Until we’re not sure, I think I wanna keep playing with it,” Yhana insists. “I’ve never been big, this could be fun.”

“Uh huh…” Melissa emanates, looking up and down Yhana. She’s wearing it well, of course, it’s hard to imagine her looking anything but stunning. She’s even making the fairly plain jumpsuit she’s opted for today work well for her, the trio of belts around her midsection specifically placed to exemplify it. “Yeah, fine.”

Yhana’s clipboard chirps, and she snatches the cylindrical device up on her way out of the booth. “Order’s ready, I’ll be right back.”

And then she’s off. Melissa doesn’t look away as she departs, an extra sway in her step making her heart stir.

IMO good voyeurism scenes reveal as much or more about the voyeur as the ones they witness, and this is no exception! There's real tenderness in what Ersufat notices and chooses to depict, as well as an endearing silliness and sincerity to the compliments and encouragements of his second subjects.

"He sketched out a few others, playing cards – then, on a whim, did a swift rendition with all of the players replaced by dogs for no other reason than it seemed amusing, and he snickered down at it when he was finished, before wandering off in search of further inspiration.

Some presented itself in the form of an immediately, immensely, and intensely attractive grey-skinned man with slender but broad wings that befit his wiry yet lanky form, probably a bit over six feet although he was hardly at full height – his black lips pulled back gently from his teeth, a soft snarl as he thrust into one or another of two goblins, it was difficult to tell with them as intertwined as they were.

WHEE an utterly delightful fuckfest! Filthy fun intermixed with very enjoyable dynamics (and maybe my favorite fantasy birth control of all time.) Unusual anatomies offer delightful possibilities, and happily the men in this threesome are beings of taste, culture, and also enjoying the D~ love it!

"She shot a look over her shoulder to him, with a smirk. “Not the only solid thing I’m looking forward to.”

Erris snickered, turning to flash Bellick a grin. “The penis,” he nodded.

At the same time, Bellick said the exact same. “The penis.” Then he tipped his head to the side. “Or penises, I suppose. Penii? I’m uncertain of the correct plural.”

“Adopt an informal nomenclature and call them cocks,” Jenny half-growled her suggestion, “and then, after you’ve called them that? Give them to me.”

“And me,” Erris added, “please.”

“M-myself as well,” Bellick stammered, lightly squeaking as he did.

“You both may be hard-pressed to attain multiple,” Jenny pointed out in a mumble, and Erris laughed."
