Weekend Wrap Up: Massages, Revisions, and a Slippery Little Short Story 💦

TL;DR: This week we got very handsy in Tropical Permission (twice), slid into a bi-curious massage short, and launched a new OPS that returns tomorrow (Sun) at 2 pm ET with a fresh roundup.

Hi!

Here’s everything I published this week in one easy place, plus what’s coming up this weekend.

What you might’ve missed

• 🌴 Tropical Permission — Chapter Fifteen: “The Massage.”

  Diane opens the door in a robe (nothing underneath), James is “not most men,” and Marco’s professional hands meet a very unprofessional amount of heat. This one is all about precision vs. provocation—and the delicious feeling of being presented. READ

• 🌴 Tropical Permission — Chapter Sixteen: “The Revision.”

  Steam. Shower. A fantasy sharpened like a blade—and then Diane tells James exactly what she wants next, in explicit, can’t-misunderstand terms. It ends… on her face, and with a new shared agenda. READ

• ✍️ Short Story: “The Happy Ending She Didn’t Know She Wanted.”

  Laura has long side-eyed the rub-and-tug two blocks from home. Then she walks in. A table shower, a woman named Mimi, and a bi-curious hunger that turns from theory into touch. (Yes, it gets slippery. Intensely.) READ

• OPS (Other People’s Smut): Hump Day Edition.

  My new curated series of free stories, essays, poems and other miscellaneous eros dropped its Wednesday edition with: one-hand reads, kink essays, and a few perfectly unwise dicks. OPS will never be paywalled, nor will the stories featured in it. If you write smut—or just found something scorching—send it my way. READ

What’s coming up

• OPS is back tomorrow, Sunday at 2 pm ET.

  Expect another tight, tasty roundup of free reads across Smutstack—new voices, returning faves, and at least one piece you’ll text to your most shameless friend. Set a reminder and come get smutty.

Housekeeping & how to read first

• The “all-free” launch week wrapped on Aug 14. Going forward, most new posts will hit paid first by a day or two, then unlock for everyone. (OPS will always be free!) You can jump in early as a paid reader, or hang tight for the public drop—your being here and reading it what matters.

What I’m writing next

• In Tropical Permission, we’re headed into the charged space between a fantasy articulated and a boundary negotiated. Diane wants two sets of hands—and more. James wants to be in it, not just watching. This story is barreling towards its sexy conclusion in the coming weeks!

Thank you for reading, sharing, and whispering my stories into the right ears. See you tomorrow at 2 pm ET for OPS. Bring water. And maybe a towel.
