Subscriber-only episode Send us a text Ep 584: Wingless Hunger, Chapter 1, Open Door Spicy Romantasy, Naked in the Forest. Gabreilla was naked in the forest when she smelled a man nearby. She used all her sex appeal and her beautiful siren singing voice to draw him in...as a siren-fairy-human, she had special abilities. But what she needed most was his cock. Book Blurb: Gabriella can smell men. Which is a good thing since she desperately needs men. It’s not every fairy who also has siren in her, which allows her to use her irresistible singing voice to draw them nearer. Since she can’t leave her invisible cage, this is a very useful talent, especially when it comes to drawing men to her area of the forest. Most men will do, however, they only stay for little while. When she senses Leif hiking down the path, she experiences the usual growth in her size, which is imperative because if he can’t see her, none of the good stuff will happen. He's different than the other men were, he might just be the solution she seeks. But then there’s also the other paralyzing problem of trying to attain her freedom. All she desires is a happier, less lonely life once again, human sized. Tropes: *Open Door, HEA Spicy Romantasy. *Lust First. *Forced proximity. *Shrinking woman, growing woman. *She needs a hero. *He's a cinnamon roll. *The miracle they seek, they don't know all the rules. Wingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series. Subscription Process: Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!

Written by Ruan Willow, Narrated by Ruan Willow and David Myers Story Blurb: Scarlet had become a powerful witch. She also had beauty and brains, but what she was missing was a grand house and some wealth to her name, so she sought George.

When Scarlet invited Arianna, her secret love, over to her new husband George's mansion, the girl's night she had promised turned out to be quite decadent indeed. It was complete with a much-needed reconnection for the women, a barely clothed muscle clad chef to ogle, and enough servants, with the promise of extra benefits, to satiate even Cleopatra. But it turns out having everything doesn't sit well with a dominant witch, until she's truly satisfied with everyone where she wants them. Tropes: Femdom dark fantasy & sci fi, dark romance, forced proximity, shrinking and growing woman, magic, HEA, humiliation, degradation, explicit scenes and language, LGTBQ, elements of horror.

Written by Ruan Willow, Narrated by Ruan Willow and David Myers Story Blurb: Scarlet had become a powerful witch. She also had beauty and brains, but what she was missing was a grand house and some wealth to her name, so she sought George. He blubbered his way through their marriage until he was as annoying as a bug, or an overripe houseguest. That didn’t take long. She had plans for him though, big plans. When Scarlet invited Arianna, her secret love, over to her new husband George's mansion, the girl's night she had promised turned out to be quite decadent indeed. It was complete with a much-needed reconnection for the women, a barely clothed muscle clad chef to ogle, and enough servants, with the promise of extra benefits, to satiate even Cleopatra. But it turns out having everything doesn't sit well with a dominant witch, until she's truly satisfied with everyone where she wants them. Tropes: Femdom dark fantasy & sci fi, dark romance, forced proximity, shrinking and growing woman, magic, HEA, humiliation, degradation, explicit scenes and language, LGTBQ, elements of horror. Stay tuned for more of Mallory and Derek's story, and the next installment of "In Scarlet's House" as well! Subscription Process: Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!
