Space Pirates (9-12)

SERIES: SPACE PIRATES

Epic cyberpunk space opera... with only the juicy bits intact.

Four final raunchy tales of pirates boning each other in space -- in which plot threatens to take over, but good loving saves the day.

Includes the following stories:

CYCLE (in which there is menstruation, limit-testing, and a dom who likes receiving pain)

OLIVIA (in which our heroes find an excuse to dress up and have fun in inappropriate places, and the plot stumbles vaguely onward)

BREAKTHRU (in which captivity is detailed, rescues are made, and more plot results)

NOW/HERE (in which there are some tie-ups followed by explosions both literal and metaphorical, and happy endings are had by all)

Now/Here (Space Pirates #12, Final)

Series: Space Pirates
Genre: Cyberpunk/Space opera (of definitely deficient hardness)

Word count: ~11,400

Themes: D/s (dom with a masochistic streak), rope bondage, orgasm control... and gratuitous plot

Buy: Amazon, Google Play, Smashwords, Kobo, B&N, iTunes

Summary: The truth can no longer be suppressed. At least three separate factions are now racing to claim the long-lost jump gates. And Sabinus and his pet are right at the center of it all.

Sabinus Terchan has never felt more alive. The reactivation of the jump gates, knowledge of which has been suppressed for generations, will revolutionize society. And he means to watch it all happen in person -- with his pet at his side.

But with both the government and the powerful GG Co-op hunting them down, the odds of them and their tentative allies surviving unscathed are close to zero. Sacrifices must be made. When it comes down to it, what's Sabinus going to choose: the vague dreams he's spent his whole life chasing, that are forever hurtling just out of reach, or the things he never knew he wanted, that lie already within his grasp?

He's a space pirate. The answer, obviously, is both.

This short story for mature readers is a direct followup to "Olivia" and "Breakthru", and concludes the Space Pirates series.

Breakthru (Space Pirates #11)

Genre: Cyberpunk/Space opera (of shrug-worthy hardness)

Word count: ~12,400

Themes: D/s, mild dubcon involving extra-relational sex, plot?!

Buy: Amazon, Google Play, Smashwords, Kobo, B&N, iTunes

Summary: Olivia's willing to do anything to rescue her space pirate lover from a ruthless business rival, even if it means teaming up with the woman who once betrayed him. But whether or not Sabinus will let her save him -- or how far he's willing to go to ensure his own survival -- is a different story entirely.

The notorious space pirate Sabinus Terchan is dead. Or so the newschips claim. The truth is, one of the scions of the GG Co-op leads a double life -- and he's taken Sabinus captive, with the intentions of forcing him into an alliance. A feat he doesn't expect to be terribly difficult: he and Sabinus go way back, and he knows exactly how to get at him...

Unfortunately for him, he didn't account for Sabinus's ex-partner.

And for Sabinus's pet.

This short story for mature readers is a direct followup to "Olivia". Reading "Olivia" is not necessary to enjoy this story, but may enhance your experience.

Summary: Though Olivia gave her body to Sabinus, her heart and mind were never his. When his old lover and fellow pirate Jeanne shows up at a function for interplanetary dignitaries, fireworks are only inevitable...

Months after his jailbreak, space pirate Sabinus is finally ready to take the next step in furthering his original goals. Said step involves brazenly crashing an underground banquet with more than a few important Union officials in attendance -- and Sabinus means to enjoy the occasion to the fullest by taking his pet out to play.

Unfortunately, they're not the only party crashers around. And more than one specter from his past is going rear its head before the night is over.

This short story sets off the final arc of the Space Pirates series.
