Kosmos2999 is a non-commercial blog in Tumblr, where I share my love for vintage sci-fi. It serves me to take my "baby steps" in writing, graphic design and digital painting.
It is dedicated to the loving memory of a late friend of mine, Donna Marie Van Buren (1965-2013) on her birthday (April the 1st).

Sinful Symphonies
{pt.2}
A disc leisurely floats to the phonograph in the corner of the room. Filling the chamber with music.
It wasn’t his normal choice, but it would do for today.
Black Hat leans back in his chair, closing his eyes for a moment of rest. He didn’t require sleep or breaks, his body never tired like the mortals around him. He was always conscious of everything around him.
But to have a moment with just his glorious self was quite nice..
The melody drifts on.
The world quiets.
Just as bruises form on his body.
And as a dull throb reverberates in his head.
Damn it.
He growls and opens his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed as he cuts off the music with a snap of his fingers. With the moment gone, Black Hat examines his new injuries, though he knows they will fade soon.
The concept of a “soulmate” was not new to him, nor was the affect the bond could have on a pair.
It was quite the revelation when he discovered even he could have one. And for a while, he fancied the idea of having someone all to himself; someone only he could have for the rest of time and then some. But as his intended died and reincarnated he grew annoyed with the drawbacks.
They filled his mind with childish rhymes and songs, giving him scrapes and stupid little paper cuts. They interrupted his plans with out of sync humming. As they grew they went through constant phases and would repeat songs over and over! In one reincarnation, they even fell victim to poisoning and trampling in the same week!
How dare they interrupt his schedule with such pitiful mortal afflictions! He couldn’t even enjoy watching them suffer!
How could his soulmate- his equal! Be so vulnerable?!
A small squeak of gears and doors unlatching catches his attention as he digs his claws into the arms of his chair, green drool dripping from his clenched teeth. Releasing his grip of the chair, he leans back and crosses his legs. Once again under the guise of his “gentlemanly” persona.
“The doctor must be back.” His eye turns red as he connects his consciousness to a portrait downstairs, surveying the room for his lackeys. It was only recently that he acquired this minion, and while he showed some.. promise, the scientist still had yet to truly prove himself. Not that he could ever hope to reach his standards of perfection of course. He doubted if anyone could.
Strangely, there is no movement inside the manor.
He scowls,”Where are those imbeciles.”
Fully immersing himself into the portrait, Black Hat slips out of the canvas and saunters through the house in search of the source of the disturbance. It was likely the gates to the underground garage.
But unloading parcels was no excuse for checking in late!
A familiar melody fills his head causing him to stop walking for a second.
Fondu au noir, he believes. A humming accompanies the lyrics, faint, but enough to be noticed.
They were in sync this time, he thinks with a flutter of amusement.
.
.
.
He grunts, a deep scowl once again on his face as he continues his trek downstairs. Of course they would have bad timing once again, filling his mind with nonsense.
Standing before the doors, he slips through into the garage. Black Hat is greeted by the sight of his subordinates hog tied atop of the car. The bots in the front seats are either dismantled or completely decimated with scorch marks on their plating. The merchandise however, is all in one piece.
‘Lucky doctor.’ Black Hat lifts a brow, his face unamused.
Flug gulps, sweat dripping down the paper bag covering his head,”H-Hello m-my lord!”
Demencia squeals,”Sweetie!”
A twitch of his eye.
The merchandise was there, but his reputation was stained.
Failure.
Absolute. Failure.
“S-Sir..?”
“Its all under control, you said,” Black Hat chuckles, his shadow climbing the wall and expanding,”Its as good as done.” Membranous wings snap from his back as Black Hat roars; his flesh peels back, exposing his gums and fluorescent green teeth, the smell of rot fills the air.
“Ŵ̨̥̞̭͇͉͖̠̑̀̑̉͊͠͠A̡̘͙͓̞͈̐̍̌̍̋͘Ŝ̛͕̫͖͖͞͝ ̦̻̱̤̓̈̋͝Ṯ̛̹͈͔̖̘̗̼̲̃̐̋̆̽̈́͘̚H̢̡͍̼͖̱̯̳̗̝̀͒̅̄̎͋̂̇̃̚Ã̡̢̧̻͍̝̖̠͊̉͊̽̃́͝T͙͛ ̧̜͎̠̹͎̪̀̽͑̌̑̃̎̇͜Ṅ͉̼̝̽͝Ơ̩T̨̬͑̋͜͝ ̥̳̎͋͘͜W̛̬̜̭̟̰̘͕̥̺̽̀̍̅͒͛͑̕͜͠Ĥ̼̟̆͜͞Ą̛̭̮̝͕̫̖̗̞̦̾̃̅͊̑́̓͝͠T̛̼̟̰͖̋̓̇͘ͅ ̨̬̣̳̹̀͛͛̾͡Y̨̧͕̻̝̳̞̝̯͐͑̃͂̀̂̈̒̕͠ͅO̲̦̬͕͍͆̐͌̓͞U ̨̻̺̯̖̟̣̰͂̆̀̓̊͋́͗͛͜T̢̹̼̖̩̞̙͙͐͛̓̓̽̏̔̏͜͠Ò̢̮̙͑͞L͔̖̜̑͛͗D͙̕ ̤̿M͕͉̹̑̓̐̃͟Ê̬̠̺̈͌?̹͈͕͈͙̣͙̅̄̀͐̄̋͂̕͢!̟̜̘́̍͡”
Flug whimpers, curling in on himself as much as he could with his limbs bound,”Y-Yes but you s-see Lord Black Hat-“
“W̡̮̣̼̰͙̾̀̈̏͆̽͢͝H̩͒́͢AT̢̫̖̐̈͐!”
“Avillaingotinourway!”
He snarls,”They are like any other enemy doctor, you take them down!”
“It was a Horseman, sir! They took us down after destroying the Hat-Bots!”
Black Hat pauses.
Flug trembles, waiting for his masters response while Demencia watches adoringly.
.
.
.
“A little Horseman you say?”
“Y-Yes sir.”
Black Hat chuckles and swipes a clawed finger to release the two from their bonds. Leaning closer to Flug he drags a sharp digit across the scientist’s goggles,”I will give you one chance to remedy your little SLIP UP!”
Flug flinches.
Black Hat grins, embracing his flair for the theatrical as the lights die out. Leaving his sickening grin and piercing eye the only light sources in the room.
”Bring them to me.”
———————
Once you got home, you immediately turned on your radio and fell asleep. Sleep means you don’t have to acknowledge the aching in your body.
Pain, or dreams of fireplaces, cats, and fresh bread?
Dreams of course.
But a harsh rapping at the door not hours later, pulls you from your sleep.
You stretch your arms above your head, sighing in pleasure as your sore joints pop. You lay back down to continue sleeping. Screw whoever’s at the door, you want your sleep.
The knocking grows louder, soon turning into insistent banging.
You groan, sitting back up,“I’m going!” You huff,”No need to be so pushy.” Grabbing a pair of brass knuckles from a ceramic vase on the small table by your couch, you stuff your hand into your pocket before unlocking the door and removing the deadbolt.
Swinging open the door, you are met with the sight of Pestilence leaning on the doorway with wide eyes. Death looks everywhere but you and War cradles a fallen potted tree in his arms. Conquest is the only normal one with his hands in his suit pockets.
They’re all dressed nicely, you realize with a small hum.
Conquest smiles softly and waves,”Hey sorella.”
You smile back, waving with the brass knuckles on,”Hey Connie.” Quirking a brow at War, you look to the rest of your siblings,”So. You came to vandalize my plant or my fridge?”
Death grins, signing rapidly,”Wine cellar. War can have the tree.”
“Proceed,” you motion to War as you sign to Death,”This is Why I can't have nice things.” You roll your eyes.
War rightens the tree as the three siblings walk inside, each one giving you a kiss on the cheek or small pat on the shoulder. In the family, a normal hello would work like when you were all kids. But in the family, respect was to be shown when entering the house of any member of the clan. even siblings.
Either way, you really missed these guys. Often they were back at the home base in Calamni with the matriarch and a good chunk of the family. While you weren’t shunned from returning after choosing to enroll in college full time rather than villainy, neither side could visit the other frequently.
“Sooo whatcha up to punk?” Pesty plops herself onto the couch, grinning at Death who heads straight to the kitchen.
You lean on the wall,”Well I was finishing up my art degree but seeing as how the building was destroyed that plan is on hiatus for now.”
“So you were at the collapse.” Conquest sits on the loveseat by the window, he taps his fingers uneasily,”Nonna said you might’ve been the one spotted in the area.”
“I was,” You confess,”But I dealt with the problem, I didn’t start it.”
War let’s out a booming laugh,”No need to defend yourself half pint, we’re not here to accuse you.”
“So you’re really just here for my food?”
Oh don’t you feel loved.
Death walks out from around the corner, a platter of cheese in his hands while wine glasses float behind him,”We come with invitations.” He smiles smugly as you squint to read the label on the bottle of wine behind him.
“I was saving that!” You shriek.
The cork pops from the bottle as Death sings,”Not anymore~!”
Pestilence eagerly rubs her hands together,”Pass the loot Videl!”
Death puts down the tray before filling the glasses. Leaving you glaring at them all as the bottle is soon left half empty.
“This better be good.” You sit by Pestilence and are soon boxed in by Death who places his legs on yours and Pestilence’s lap.
War swirls the wine in his glass, a grin gradually forming,”It's pretty exciting.”
“Your exciting or my exciting?” You plop a small block of cheese into Death’s mouth.
“Bit of both” he shrugs.
“Alright, what is it?”
War looks to Conquest who pulls out a small envelope, passing it along to his brother. Opening the envelope, War clears his throat and says,
“The Black Hat Organization cordially invites the House of Horsemen and select members of Death Inc. to our decennial gala to celebrate the achievements of current and past villains. The gala will begin at sundown and end at sunrise. There will be a live auction, dead auction, music and dance then some sort of groveling over Black Hats achievements I guess.” War rambles on,”It mentions pops also getting recognized but we haven’t told him yet.”
“Why not?” You ask.
“Because of mom.” Pestilence floats her glass in front of her, eyes glassy as she listens to the viruses and bacteria that linger around her around her. “She’s definitely not invited, and the old man probably won’t want to go without her.”
“Yeah.. so you guys are taking me?”
“Of course, you’re part of the clan. Unless you want us to take Belladonna and Pluto without you and make you look like the third wheel.” Conquest stifles a smile.
You huff,”After you drank my wine I deserve an invitation.”
“Good! We’re going then, time to get dressed!” Pestilence darts up the stairs.
Your eyes widen,”Wait you never said it was-!” Death slips behind the couch and lifts you from under your arms, carrying you up the stairs with ease.
“Bell’s already in the car!” War cups his hands over his mouth to be heard over your thrashing,”Dress nice this time okay!”
“FUCK YOU!” You let out one last scream before Death tosses you into your room with Pestilence.
Death holds onto the door as you bang on it, calling out to your siblings as your sister takes it upon herself to prepare you for the gala. He smiles nervously at his older brothers, motioning a swift,”Phew!”
War chuckles before looking to Conquest,”This should be fun.”
Conquest simply downs his wine silently.
———————
Black Hat prowls the area, watching as guests begin to enter. He vaguely recalls faces, with most villains not being worth his notice whatsoever. But tonight he searches for a specific kind of company.
A Horseman.
“Lord Black Hat.”
A voice behind him calls. He turns around and finds the Four Horsemen and a few others in their party. Lucky him, he grins to himself.
Conquest bows,”It's an honor to be invited once more, my lord.” The others follow suit but rise before their leader does.
Black Hat hums, looking down at the younger man,”It has been some time hasn’t it?” He scans the group, temporarily pausing on.. one.
“Part of the company?” He asks, referring to Death Inc. which like his own company, was multifaceted. Perhaps they were from the lower ranks.
Conquest looks up, turning to his side,”No sir, she is from our clan. My sister in fact.”
You look up at the tall “man” before you, feeling your pulse quickening as he assesses you silently. His eyes roam from your head to your toes before landing on your face, his eye shining with what you could only describe as something predatory. You were a bit terrified, knowing who he was and what he was capable of- remembering seeing it on the battlefield long ago.
But at the same time, you felt elated. Excited. As if a murky glass was wiped clean. It felt new.
Your group steps to the side as Black Hat approaches you. Their bodies tense, knowing they could step in to attack but ultimately would be nothing more than flies for him to swat away. They could do nothing but watch and wait.
Stopping a foot away, Black Hat removes his top hat and holds it to his chest as he performs a small bow. A bowler hat is in place of the one he took off.
“A pleasure to meet you.” He purrs and looks up at you, sending a jolt of electricity up your spine.
You slowly smile.
“The pleasure is all mine.”

Update
Well I sorta fell off the regular updates train (I know nobody else gives a shit but it gives me a way to mark time and what I’ve done lmao). Done a bunch of cool works stuff that I can’t really talk about, but that’s been nice. Continued running my Descent Into Avernus campaign, had some discussions with the players and now have more roleplay stuff I’ve worked in, such as extra interactions with a certain legendary item for the Flaming Fist Conquest Paladin, or the steam-powered wagon for the Tinkerer Eldritch Knight Fighter. My usual Thursday Mad Mage game god bodied by the module not being a good fit for our party, so we ended that by annihilating the Xanathar in 2 turns (paralysis is a wild condition when you have a fighter and a paladin in the party) and will be starting a homebrew setting campaign soon, so that should be fun. My Saturday urban fantasy tabletop campaign I’m in that’s my friends fully homebrew system and setting has been a ton of fun recently, got to do a bunch of bartering, watch my party members suck at gambling, interact with vikings, and started exploring my character more. That campaign has also facilitated my return to my old hobby of stargazing, which cool and exciting now that I live somewhere with less light pollution. Got a new camera for that, general use, and diving, and that’s been really neat to work with. Got on the horse with a healthy diet, and have finally managed to push myself to work out regularly again so hopefully I start shaping back up soon. Also been helping out with @ngame989​‘s TGG series, and I have some interesting stuff for it that should be coming out soon. Also it’s now December so I made a bunch of new desktop backgrounds, got winter beers and gingerbread tea, set my tree up, and have crackling fire + Christmas music on just about 24/7. Finally, I’m going to PAX Unplugged next weekend! It’ll be a ton of fun, especially getting to play the new Acq. Inc. stuff instead of Adventurer’s League, so I’m really excited for that!

Of Blood and Betrayal (Part 1/3)
Hey everyone! Here’s my Captain Swan Supernatural Summer fanfic! Special thanks again to @kmomof4 and @cssns for creating this project! I’m so glad that our fandom can still stay active after the show’s ended.
Without further ado, here’s my story! 
(Rated M; you have been warned!)
Emma Swan looked in the mirror once more before heading out.  
It was probably overkill to dress up as one of the dancers. But women weren’t often clients of The Bloodsucker, a well-known haunt of male vampires. She was dressed in the skimpiest costume she had ever seen. Donning a red satin bra that showed off her ample cleavage and a matching lace skirt, she hoped to seduce her guy.
The club’s music pounded with every step she took in her stiletto heels. Infiltrating the place wasn’t the trouble; she has her connections. The problem was how to take the guy in. Normally, she would seduce the guy into having a drink (or many) and let him take her to his place, spending a night of pleasure. It was no secret that these creatures had a high-sex drive and very erotic fantasies. Once asleep, she would drug him and take him back to the agency. It’s no wonder why they all call her a femme fatale.
Emma Swan’s a vampire hunter of Gold Inc. and right now, there’s a perp to take in.
He sat in a dark corner, drinking rum. Clad in a dark navy suit, he looked quite dashing. His blue eyes complimented his navy suit as he sat there, quietly observing his surroundings. At first glance, he didn’t look as dangerous as they said. He looked quite dashing and dignified. But when he opened his mouth to sip his drink, Emma could see the sharp glint of his fangs. 
Many had attempted to bring him in for his crimes, but all had failed. It was up to her now and she had everything planned out.
Sauntering her way there, she pretended not to notice as his eyes raked over her. Even in the dim lighting, she could see his expression and he certainly enjoyed what he was seeing. The music took on a provocative tone; she swayed her hips to the beat and enjoyed how his gaze never left hers. His eyes dropped to her bosom and he licked his lips, exposing his sharp fangs; he definitely enjoyed what he was seeing.
“Care for a dance, sir?” she said in a sultry voice.
“That depends,” he whispered. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized he had a British accent; it made him far more attractive than before. “Will you have a drink with me?”
“I don’t usually drink with my clients,” she said in a low voice.
“Perhaps you should try something new, darling,” he replied, pouring her a shot.
Emma figured she could indulge him. After all, there was plenty of time to get him where she wanted him. Clinking their glasses together, she gulped down the shot, feeling its burn down her throat.
“What’s your name? I haven’t seen you here before,” he said curiously, eyes scanning every inch of her body. She resisted the urge to shiver; he made her feel far more naked and vulnerable than she was.
“Swan,” she said, thinking quickly; granted, it was her last name, but he would probably think it was just a stage name. “Yours?”
“I don’t give my name to strippers,” he said plainly, taking another shot of rum. “Helps me protect my….privacy.”
“Speaking of privacy,” she said alluringly, putting a hand on her arm. “How about a dance?”
He grinned wolfishly, watching her stand up and offer her hand.
“It’s a deal.”
The velvet room, a much more private setting, was quieter than the main floor. In fact, with the emptiness of it, the silence felt deafening. Emma led him to the couch where he seated himself patiently and arched a brow; damn, he looked so attractive when he did that.
“No touching,” she reminded him.
“As you wish, milady,” he replied with a cocky grin.
She rolled her eyes and turned on the music. Instead of blasting a loud rhythm, it was a slow and erotic beat that definitely fit their mood. Emma looked back at her client, finding him waiting patiently. His blue eyes bore into her, an unwavering gaze that made her nervous for what she was about to do. Hell, she’d done it many times before. Why was this time any different?
Pushing away those intrusive thoughts, she rolled back her shoulders and swayed her hips to the beat. His eyes traveled further down her body; she didn’t miss his subsequent gulp when she began roaming her hands over her body. She cupped her breasts, feeling her nipples harden in the sheer bra. Emma threw her head back, her golden curls cascading across her shoulders. She made sure that he got a good view of her ass as she moved her body to the music.
“Bloody hell,” he whispered, staring at her like she was a heavenly gift.
Emma noted the bulge in his pants and smiled. Most men didn’t even begin to get hard with a simple dance. This was good; he was absolute putty in his hands and she would use that to her advantage. She tore her gaze away from his growing erection and walked up to him. She could feel his breath against her exposed skin and leaned forward so he could get closer look down her cleavage.
“Last warning,” she said. “No touching.”
He nodded and opened his mouth to say something, but his voice dropped to a groan once she straddled him. Her warm, wet heat was just inches away from his crotch and he definitely sensed it, judging from his reaction. She rubbed her body sensously against him, feeling his firm figure. She pushed her golden locks over her shoulder and started moving faster, feeling him grow harder.
He growled when she stood up, pulling away from his body. But his reaction was replaced with an even deeper groan when she turned and began rubbing her toned ass against his crotch. Moving her hips sinuously, she sighed and moved faster, enjoying his struggle to remain as quiet as possible.
“Make all the noise you want. It’s just us in here. You and me,” she said.
“Aye,” he said in a strangled voice.
She continued her seductive actions and stilled her body, long after the music finally ended. Her hands remained on his shoulders. As her gaze met his, she could tell he knew that she wanted more. Alas, their time together was up and she probably should get his number or contact information. Otherwise, he would slip right through her grasp.
“Do you….I know it’s quite impetuous of me, but do you wish to spend the night with me?”
Emma’s heart skipped a beat. This was more than she could have asked for. She knew the penthouse Killian Jones lived at and while asleep, she could gather intel on him. Perhaps he would have some incriminating documents hidden or solid evidence, admitting his crimes. How could she pass up such an opportunity?
“Of course….let me just, er, finish my shift up. Meet you outside in an hour?”
He winked, kissing her hand. “It’s a date.”
Emma Swan stepped into his apartment, gaping at every inch of his living room. Windows ran from the floor to the ceiling; the entire skyline of New York City could be seen, glowing in the night. His living room was furnished extensively and polished to a gleam. Decorated with a nautical theme, the room’s dim lighting exuded a sense of mystery. Emma examined an intricately decorated vase on a pedestal.
“You live here?” she said incredulously.
“Alas, it’s only one of my many domiciles. I take it you’re impressed?”
“Uh huh,” she said, gazing at everything she could see, hoping such details would come in handy later when she reported back to her boss.
“Love, would you….care to accompany me to the bedroom?” he said, trying to get her attention.
“Right, right,” she said, allowing him to lead her down the hall. “Sorry, I just live in a really small studio apartment and I couldn’t believe all this stuff. Do you sleep in a coffin?”
“Of course not!” he said, looking affronted at her comment. “That’s only for a select few of us.”
“Ok, ok. I didn’t mean to be….vampire-cist or anything,” she said, grinning.
He led her into his bedroom; Emma was unsurprised to see how clean and well-organized everything was. But it didn’t look like anything special for a vampire. Just a four-poster bed with curtains and black velvet sheets.
“If you’re still in the mood, Swan, I have another room that might be more fitting to our….date tonight,” he said with a wink.
“Sure,” she said, allowing herself to be led to another room, which he had to unlock with a key. He winked at her once more before opening the door, gesturing for her to go in first. She entered brazenly, unprepared for what she was about to see.
It was a sex dungeon. Or a sex room, really. Despite the dim lighting, she could see the impressive whips and chains that decorated the dark walls. A bed with blood-red curtains and sheets stood against the wall with a treasure chest at the end. Assorted furniture (no doubt meant for pleasures and tortures) were scattered across the room. In the corner, a mahogany cabinet’s doors were open, revealing erotic costumes and lacy lingerie.
“Wow, you….really went all out,” Emma said, finding it difficult to stare in one place.
“Startling, isn’t it? I do hope you get used to it,” Killian said sensually as he unlocked the treasure chest at the foot of the bed.
“Are you….expecting me to come back?” Emma asked, her voice growing higher.
“Well, I certainly hope do,” he said, grinning wolfishly. “You look like a tough lass. An adventurous one too, I’d say.”
She looked in his hand, eyes widening when she realized what he was holding. Handcuffs and a blindfold.
A shiver ran through her as he licked his lips, ogling every inch of her. His fangs shone in the scant light of the room.Though she was dressed in a sweater and tight jeans, she felt vulnerable and naked under his gaze. Nevertheless, even if she had to play the part, it didn’t mean she wasn’t going to enjoy it. Especially with a vampire as attractive as him. She would never forget this conquest of hers.
“Well, you’re definitely right,” she replied, grasping the collar of his shirt and bringing him in for a kiss. He was caught off-guard, but he responded with equal enthusiasm. She could feel a low growl of pleasure in his throat as he drew her closer. With all the vampires she had kissed, never had she encountered one with such alacrity. His fangs nipped at her bottom lip as he pulled away, suddenly looking a tad uneasy.
“Love, I….I wish to drink from you. When you climax, of course. That’s when your blood will be the most luscious. Is that alright?”
“Wow, a vampire who asks for permission,” she joked, deftly taking off her sweater. “Yeah, sure. Go for it.”
She didn’t miss his gulp as he gazed at her breasts encased in white lace.
“As you wish, my dear.”
Before she could gasp, he swept her up in his arms and deposited her on the bed. He quickly took off her jeans and shoes, revealing panties that matched her bra.
“Gorgeous,” he whispered, inhaling her scent.
Emma gasped. It had been a long time since she had bedded a man who was willing to go down on her. The vampire knelt between her legs, finding her core as wet and ready as he expected. He ran his tongue over her soaked folds, enjoying the squeals that came out of her mouth as he continued with his devotion. Then, he abruptly stopped.
“What the hell?” Emma gasped, wishing for him to continue.
“It just remembered,” he said with a wolfish grin. “Do you enjoy being tied up?”
“Oh hell yes,” she whispered, “Please.”
He wasted no time, getting the handcuffs from atop the chest. Her hands were cuffed to the headboard and she suddenly regretted asking him to do this. Wasn’t she supposed to bring him in? She allowed herself to relax, remembering that she’d been in tougher binds than this. Handcuffs were nothing; she could get out of them in a cinch. 
He blindfolded her too, leaving her completely at his mercy and removed her bra, gently squeezing her nipples. Without wasting a second, he plunged himself into her wet heat, causing her to moan. She hadn’t expected him to be this ready for her, but she supposed it was the vampire in him. He thrusted quickly, his cock much bigger than the average man. Of course, he wasn’t a man...
“Are you enjoying this, love?” he asked.
“Yes, yes….just don’t stop,” she said, wishing she could touch him.
“Make all the noise you want. It’s just us in here. You and me,” he whispered into her ear.
She moaned and felt her climax approaching, spurred by his powerful thrusts. Their chests pressed up against each other and she enjoyed the feeling of his chest hair against hers.
Without a moment’s pause, he sunk his fangs into her neck. Emma yelped in surprise, but found the sensations to be pleasant. It wasn’t her first time with a vampire, so she knew what to expect. 
He drank from her slowly, savoring the taste of her blood and whispering praises of her body’s sweetness. The pleasure of his ministrations triggered her orgasm as she gasped and writhed under him.
After she relaxed from her orgasm, it suddenly dawned on her that he hadn’t climaxed yet. She so wished she could reach down and stroke his cock, giving him his release too, but her hands remained firmly tied. Being at his mercy made her feel more aroused, especially not being able to see or touch him.
It took her a moment to realize she was blacking out; he probably was feeding on her for too long. Her breathing became labored and struggled to say something, but she felt herself drifting off and losing consciousness.
When she woke, she was revealed to see that the blindfold had been taken off. Unfortunately, her hands were still cuffed to the bed. She felt a bandage on her neck and her heart warmed at the thought of him cleaning up her wound. Never had a vampire done that for her.
Killian walked into the room, but didn’t make eye contact with her. His demeanor had changed to an icy cold one. She could even feel it from where she was lying in bed. He was so salacious before and this change was odd.
“Hey, uh….could you let me out?” she said, trying to keep the worry out of her voice.
He reached into his pocket and took out his phone, showing her profile on Gold Inc’s website. Her heart skipped a beat.
“Now why would do that….Emma Swan?”

Whatever Floats Your Boat
When Jeff Bezos formed Cadabra, Inc., in 1994, I’m sure he had a business plan in mind. He’s a smart cookie, and like anyone trained in business and finance, he knew he needed his own road map. I just doubt it included global domination at the time.
But maybe now it does.
As it turned out, Bezos was wrong about one element in his business: the name. Cadabra just conjured up too many visions of cadavers. By the time his business launched in July 1995, it had already been rechristened Amazon. The rest is e-commerce history.
Today, Bezos is slowly taking over the world of everything, and the company’s latest move into shipping signifies it is not satisfied leaving any one aspect of its operations uncontrolled. Why be only the world’s biggest e-commerce provider when you can also control the supply chain of everything you sell?
Tumblr media
Amazon Logistics and its subsidiary Beijing Century Joyo Courier Service Co. are now able to provide door-to-door shipping of Chinese-made products that Amazon sells. Stateside, Amazon is also beefing up its airplane and truck fleets, meaning that all middlemen and any other dependencies are removed from the equation. The only part Amazon does not own is the manufacturing aspect, which it has wisely left to others.
The practically invisible aspect of this side of Amazon is likely to remain unnoticed to the casual observer, yet it is critical to the firm’s efficiencies and bottom line. Name another large retailer with its own shipping fleet. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Thought so.
It is a strategy not unlike the firm’s venture into cloud servers in 2002, known as AWS, or Amazon Web Services. Amazon did not want to be dependent upon anyone else’s servers to run its growing e-commerce portal, so it developed its own. Along the way, though, they acquired so much excess capacity that they lease large portions of it out to others, and now control 40% of the global cloud server market. Companies like Netflix, Spotify, and Pinterest rely on AWS, as does NASA and about a million other firms and governmental agencies. You didn’t know that, right?
But other aspects of Amazon’s quest for global domination include its Alexa voice assistant product line, as well as its Prime movies and music (which, of course, use AWS). While Alexa is far ahead of all wannabe competitors, it still has a way to go with music and movies. You can bet, though, that Bezos, having savored the sweet taste of success in e-commerce and cloud computing, wants more.
A lot more. As in most of it.
It’s a strange mix of efforts, with some in our face, the others operating quietly behind the scenes, but together they make up a company whose stock has topped $2100 in the last year (it is now just under $1700). Some aspects of business are invisible by design as they provide the necessary infrastructure to make the visible parts--the products and services--accessible to everyone.
As for Bezos, while he probably didn’t start out with plans to rule the world, he quickly saw the potential. Although the richest man in the world will probably see his rankings take a nose dive once his divorce is final, he will still be in position to climb back up the ladder, all the while getting not one, but two feet, inside our doors.
And as for Cadabra, Bezos has to at least be credited with realizing the folly of his chosen company name early on. Because if he hadn’t, the whole thing may have been one rotten smelling cadaver. I can only wonder what his next conquest will be. I’m betting he will buy a major brick and mortar retailer, as it is the missing link in all of this. Ready to place your bets?

Girls Scream Aloud story
Girls Scream Aloud is a story written by a man named Darryn Walker from South Tyneside that resulted in him getting taken to court for obscenity.
You can read the Girls Scream Aloud story online here because I realised there doesn’t appear to be anyone else who has created a mirror of it.
Obviously, I think it is absolutely terrible that anyone would be arrested for writing text and publishing it online.
This following story was not written by me in any part. Personally, I don’t think it’s very good. But fuck how my home and native land treat free speech.
Publishing this is definitely in the public interest. Motherfuckers.
This is the entirety of the text as it was originally posted on asstr.org
Everything beneath this sentence is his original post.
Girls (Scream) Aloud (FFM, nc, rp, inc, v, tor, bd, sn, mutilation)
By Blake Sinclair ([email protected]) ________________________________________ ________________________________________
WARNING! This story contains explicit imaginary descriptions of the rape torture and mutilation of five of the sexiest girls in pop today.
The following is a work of erotic/sadistic fantasy set in a world in which women are disposable sex objects that exist solely for the pleasure of men. It contains themes of extreme sexism, misogyny, torture, rape, mutilation, dismemberment, murder, execution and male supremacy over women. I cannot stress enough that this is STRICTLY FICTITIOUS and in no way reflects my own views or opinions towards women.
Under no circumstances should the violent situations of this story be re-enacted in any way. ALWAYS practice safe sex with consenting partners of a legal age.
The characters in this story are fictitious and any similarities between any persons living or dead are purely coincidental.
If you are easily offended by the themes I have described above then please read no further. If you are unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality and your actions are in any way likely to be influenced by these fictional events then you are not the sort of person that I want reading my work and you should commit suicide before an innocent person gets hurt because of your sick and perverted persuasions. For those who enjoy gratuitous sadistic erotica in the extreme and realise that this is nothing but fantasy, please read on….

Prologue
As much as I had always hated the sound of Girls Aloud’s so called music, like nearly every other man in the world I was willing to endure it in order to see their luscious soft female bodies on TV clothed in very little. How I fantasized about how I would kill five such sexy girls.
My most recent girlfriend, Lisa had looked a bit like Sarah Harding which my only reason was for ever dating her and for killing her in my favourite way when I got sick of her – to cut off her legs and tits whilst she was tied down naked and helpless.
Strangely enough though, in the last month nobody had heard anything from Girls Aloud. They had simply not turned up for an organised concert with no explanation.
I didn’t give it much thought as I would at least be spared that racket of their so called singing.
It was purely by chance then, that I stumbled across the most fantastic eBay offer I had ever set my eyes upon: Genuine Girls Aloud body parts plus a DVD of all five girls’ murder with every purchase.
I studied the images closely: Five pretty heads; five pairs if well formed tits; five carefully cut out cunts and five pairs of long sexy legs.
Hoping beyond anything I’d ever hoped for before that this wasn’t a hoax, I waited until the last possible moment and doubled the offer on Nadine Coyle’s legs and held my breath. I didn’t breathe again until I was satisfied of three things: Bid accepted; Payment confirmed; Goods dispatched.
It took only two days for my lovely new purchase to arrive and I eagerly opened the long box. My hands trembled as I tore away the soft inner packaging to reveal a pair of beautiful smooth sexy legs. They had been treated with a preservative called Soft Balm which kept a dead body from ever decomposing. It had been formulated to meet with the rising demand for men wanting to keep girls’ body parts as souvenirs of sexual their conquests.
Also in the packaging was the promised DVD. I loaded it into my player, sat down with Nadine’s legs in my lap and hit the ‘PLAY’ button on my DVD remote:
Victim #1: Nicola
According to its driver, the Girls Aloud tour bus had to be diverted in order to avoid upcoming road works.
The girls themselves were too engrossed to care so all he got was a simple “Yeah, whatever.” from Cheryl who was clearly annoyed that his announcement had distracted Kimberley from licking out her wet cunt. Beside Cheryl and Kimberley, Sarah lay in between Nadine and Nicola. Nicola lay behind Sarah and had one finger up Sarah’s tight little arsehole.
Sarah in turn had one arm stretched behind her and was fingering Nicola’s juicy cunt. Facing Sarah was Nadine who had one finger in Sarah’s cunt who in turn fingered Nadine with her other hand. Nadine was also fingering Kimberley’s cunt from behind. All the girls were well aware that they were being watched by the driver.
The driver hated these bitches and their teasing sex games which the little bitches knew he was watching on the bus’s internal CCTV monitor. They did so love to play their little teasing game for him which was why he’d spent months planning this particular detour. They wouldn’t be so arrogant soon, the overpaid little whores. Soon they’d be begging for their lives and making him very rich, not to mention very happy.
“I’m pulling into a garage here!” the driver announced. No one answered. They probably didn’t even hear him over their own moans and giggles. In fact they didn’t even realise that the bus had stopped and the driver had left it. They were too busy playing with one another’s cunts.
Cheryl gave a scream of ecstasy as her cunt shot its hot girl cum onto Kimberley’s tongue. Kimberley swallowed Cheryl’s cum and licked her cunt clean then giggled, as she wriggled with Nadine’s finger up her own cunt.
“Ha ha!” Kimberley laughed. “Cheryl’s out! She’s just shot her load.” Kimberley licked her lips at Cheryl. “And it tasted lovely.” Kimberley added and kissed Cheryl on the cunt then on her mouth so Cheryl could get a faint taste of her own juices. The others laughed as Cheryl stood up and walked away to get dressed.
It was only as Cheryl, still dizzy from the earth shattering orgasm Kimberley had given her, was sorting out a pair of tights to put on that she realised that the bus was no longer moving.
“Hey, we’ve stopped.” she called out.
“No, no, nooooo! Oh god!” Screamed Sarah as she was the next to orgasm. “Fuck you, Cheryl!” Sarah shouted “I was trying not to cum!” Nadine and Nicola both took their fingers out of Sarah’s arse and cunt. As they were both still in the game though, Sarah had to stay where she was and keep her fingers in both of their cunts.
“Where’s the driver gone?” Asked Cheryl to no one in particular.
“Filling up I suppose,” suggested Sarah.
“You’re right.” Said Cheryl. “I can smell petrol.”
The others instinctively sniffed the air.
“It’s getting stronger too.” Cheryl said.
“I don’t think that its petrol either.” Said Nicola, her voice straining with the effort of talking and keeping an orgasm at bay.
“Well bloody diesel, then!” Snapped Cheryl. “God, you can be a right pedantic cow at times!”
The smell got stronger.
Kimberley sniffed harder, “My car’s diesel,” she said urgently. “And I can tell you now that’s not like any diesel I’ve ever used!”
“What the fuck’s going on?” demanded Cheryl just before darkness took her and she hit the floor of the bus.
The others fell unconscious too.
Little did they realise what awaited them when they woke up.
* * *
Sarah’s eyes opened. Her vision was blurred. She was lying gagged on a cold stone floor with her hands tied behind her back. She was still naked except for the fact that someone had put a pair of sheer black stockings and black five inch heels on her.
As her vision cleared she realised that there wasn’t much light but she could make out the shapes of the others similarly gagged and tied. They had all had stockings and high heels put on them as well.
One of them moved, Nadine.
Nadine opened her eyes and looked pleadingly to Sarah. Sarah could only return her helpless stare. One by one the other three came round.
They all lay helpless on the ground as they came to their senses.
They hadn’t lain there for long when light suddenly flooded the building they were in. The lights were powerful and they all recognised them as familiar studio lights which they were well used to working under.
They were in some kind of large warehouse. It was sparsely furnished but for the lights and some odd looking apparatus in the middle of the floor and a couple of high definition digital movie cameras.
From somewhere out of sight, they could hear faint laughter: A man’s laughter. All five girls were getting very frightened. They wriggled futilely in their restraints as the sound of footsteps sounded in the distance and the shape of a man loomed into view.
He was large muscular and naked with a huge erection. His face was obscured by a black leather executioner’s hood and only his eyes and mouth were visible. The girls tried to back away as he approached them. He went for Cheryl first and effortlessly hauled her to her feet and dragged her to where five hooks hung from the high ceiling. He untied her wrists then snapped handcuffs on them, this time in front of her. Then he pulled her arms above her head and looped the chain of the handcuffs over one of the hooks so as she stood suspended with her feet just barely touching the floor.
Tears filled Cheryl’s eyes and she sobbed softly.
The man walked away and returned with Nadine. He repeated the process of hanging her by her wrists on one of the hooks then returned with Sarah followed by Nicola and finally Kimberley.
All five girls were crying now.
The man himself seemed to be adjusting one of the cameras so that it pointed towards the five helpless girls.
“Well, girls,” said the man in a rasping voice. “If you haven’t already guessed, you’re all going to die tonight.”
The girls all started shaking and pulling frantically at their restraints.
His cold cruel eyes looked at each girl in turn. The look of sheer terror filling each of their eyes was clearly pleasing him.
Finally he spoke, “Nicola. You’re first.” He walked up to Nicola and removed her gag.
“Nooooo!” she screamed “No! Please!”
The man lifted Nicola off her hook and dropped her screaming to the ground.
He then grabbed her by her long auburn hair and dragged her to where a work bench stood in the middle of the floor.
Nicola continued screaming. “No! Please! Somebody help me!”
The man lifted Nicola effortlessly onto the wooden bench and unlocked her handcuffs.
Nicola tried to struggle against his superior strength but he easily forced her arms wide apart and tightened her wrists into leather straps at the corners of the bench.
Nicola kept screaming.
The hooded man then grabbed Nicola’s kicking legs and similarly tied them at the ankles as wide apart as painfully possible so that her wet cunt lips were parted and vulnerable.
Satisfied that Nicola was completely helpless, the man held up a huge twelve inch vibrator for Nicola and the others to see. Nicola’s eyes widened at the length and thickness of the huge phallic toy.
The man smiled and activated the dildo. It buzzed to life with a faint hum. Then he squeezed it tightly and a sharp eight inch blade sprang from its tip.
“No!” Screamed Nicola louder than ever “Oh God! No! Please!”
The man retracted the blade and smiled. “As soon as you cum.” He said unable to keep the excitement out of his voice. “As soon as you cum, the blade extends inside you.”
“No!” Screamed Nicola. “Please! I’ll do anything. Anything!”
The man ignored her and parted her already open cunt lips even farther with his fingers.
“Nooooo!” cried Nicola over and over again as she felt the huge rubber cock being forced up her tight cunt hole. It was pushed further into her than any real cock or dildo she had ever used on herself had ever been. She yelped in pain as the man gave it one last push and activated it.
The dildo vibrated fast inside Nicola’s cunt, stimulating that most sensitive area. Her clitoris sent all the usual signals of euphoric bliss to her brain despite her best efforts to resist. I mustn’t orgasm; she thought to herself, I mustn’t cum.
But the dildo was too powerful and after a few minutes of stimulation Nicola lost control of her cunt muscles as they squeezed and contracted around the huge dildo which was invading her body.
“No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOO!” she screamed but it was too late. Inside her body she felt the release of her juices followed by a sharp horrendous pain of the cruel blade perforating her innards. She screamed her loudest yet as the man loomed over her once again this time holding a long knife. Nicola began to cough up blood from her destroyed internal organs. Her vision began to darken but she felt the man’s rough hand squeeze her tit hard. He then placed the knife blade under the tit and sliced upwards.
Nicola made a sound that was somewhere between screaming and gurgling blood. The man sliced excitedly until the soft tit was severed from Nicola’s dying body. He then did the same to her remaining tit, happy that she was still alive and conscious enough to still feel the pain and scream.
When both her tits had been cut off the man pulled the bloodied dildo out of Nicola’s cunt and with a smaller thin sharp knife, he cut around her cunt then pulled it out with a sharp tug. Nicola gave one final scream.
Although still alive, Nicola felt cold and numb and her vision was darkening. She could make out the shape of the man standing between her outstretched legs holding what appeared to be a large saw. Darkness finally took her as she thought she could hear a grinding sound and the feeling of something cutting trough her pelvis where her leg joined her body.
Victim #2: Kimberley
The four remaining girls looked in sheer terror at Nicola’s torture. She had stopped screaming now and the only sound they could hear was the sickly grinding sound of the man sawing the legs off Nicola’s mutilated body.
When the legs were cut off he placed them on the ground and unfastened the restraints holding Nicola’s arms. He then lifted her titless and legless torso and placed it on the ground beside her severed tits and legs.
The girls’ eyes flooded with tears at the sight of Nicola’s demise and at the knowledge that one of them was going to be next.
The man turned back to where the helpless four were hanging by their wrists.
They all began to struggle violently as he eyed each one of them in turn until his eyes settled on Kimberley.
Kimberley shook her head frantically as he walked towards her and removed her gag.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” screamed Kimberley. “Please!”
The man smiled “I’m betting you’ll do anything not to die like Nicola did?” he asked excitedly.
“Yes.” screamed Kimberley. “I’ll do anything. Anything you want! Oh God please don’t do the same to me. Please! I don’t want to die!”
“Well,” said the man menacingly, “Killing beautiful girls is horny work and I have the urge to cum in your mouth. Are you going to be a good girl and suck my cock?”
“YES!!!” Screamed Kimberley. “Yes I’ll be good and do whatever you want. Just please don’t hurt me!”
He lifted Kimberley down from her hook and forced her to kneel in front of him.
“Suck my cock.” He ordered her. “And swallow like the little slut you are!”
With that he rammed his hard cock into Kimberley’s open mouth. “Use your tongue, you little whore!” he growled.
Kimberley tasted the salty pulsating cock in her wet mouth. Under different circumstanced she might have enjoyed it. But now all she could think was that her life depended on this blow-job although deep down she knew she was going to die anyway.
The huge cock pulsated and throbbed in her mouth until it finally exploded and her mouth filled up with hot thick cum.
There’s so much of it thought! Kimberley. As she swallowed it seemed as though more was pouring from the hard erection and she began to choke as she struggled to get all the hot semen down her throat.
Finally the man stopped cumming and pulled his cock out of Kimberley’s mouth. Amazingly, it was still impressively hard.
Kimberley gagged and spluttered as she tried to breathe again.
“Did you enjoy that?” the man asked making no effort to hide the fact that he clearly had.
“Yes!” cried Kimberley hoping that this was the right thing to say. “I want to do it again. Please can we do it again?”
The man laughed. “I don’t have time.” He said. “I’ve got to kill you and three more to kill.”
“No!” Kimberley cried. “You promised!”
“I didn’t promise,” said the man. “You were brought here to die, all of you were! And you’re all going to die. Did you really think that you could tease men all these years and get away with it? All those poses in magazines, those videos of you all wearing next to nothing showing off your tits and legs making men horny. Making men want you and then laughing because you thought that they could never get near you.” He looked down at Kimberley and then at the three others while he continued his obviously frustrated rant.
“But then the law changed!” he said “The law changed and women were put in their places. No rights, none of this equality bollocks! Just dirty little tarts for men to do what they like with. And now that’s exactly what I’m going to do with you.”
He picked Kimberley up and fastened her onto the bench as he had done to Nicola.
Kimberley screamed and begged as he forced her sexy legs wide apart and tied her ankles. He then began to lick her cunt out. She had already cum. Most likely out of fear.
“I knew this was making you horny.” He laughed as he stuck his tongue as far up her cunt as he could.
He withdrew his tongue and parted her cunt lips so he could look inside her. “Any more up there?” He asked “I hope so. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a frightened girl’s cum.”
Kimberley just kept on screaming at her violation much to the man’s cruel amusement. To his utter delight and to Kimberley’s shame she came as he licked out her sweet wet cunt. He licked up her rich white girl cum savouring the taste of her fear in every drop.
Kimberley had screamed all through her orgasm but now she had quietened as the man finished licking her and stood up.
“I think we’ll do it different this time,” he said as he retrieved his blood covered saw.
“NOOOOOOOO!” Screamed Kimberley. “God no! Please kill me first! Please! I’m begging you!”
“Sorry,” said the man. “But I can’t do that. I need to saw off your legs while you’re still alive so you’ll feel the pain. And I need the practice for when it’s Nadine’s turn. She’s got the sexiest legs in the world apparently.” He looked over at where Nadine was hanging.
“The sexiest legs in the world,” he repeated, “and I’m going to be the one to cut them off.” Nadine felt herself cum at the thought of dying in such a way.
Hot sticky girl juice ran down the world’s sexiest legs.
The man laid a rough hand on Kimberley’s throbbing wet cunt to steady her helpless soft trembling body and pushed his middle finger into her slippery well lubricated hole.
She screamed at this latest rough uncaring intrusion into her most intimate opening.
“Please!” She cried desperate to be spared the same, if not worse pain that had been so mercilessly inflicted upon Nicola.
The man ignored her pleas for mercy just as he had ignored Nicola’s.
He positioned the jagged blade of the saw on the bone of Kimberley’s pelvis where her long shapely leg joined her body and began to saw back and forth.
Kimberley screamed as the cruel blade broke her delicate skin at first then bit into the bone itself.
Kimberley’s shrieks of agony filled the vast building as the saw bit deeper and deeper with each stroke and each stroke Kimberley knew was one stroke closer to her leg becoming detached from her body.
Kimberley’s world was one of pain, unimaginable ecstatic pain until the sawing stopped and she could no longer feel any sensation in her sexy leg. It had been cut cleanly off and all Kimberley felt was a searing pain where the saw had severed bone tendons nerves and sinew.
Her screams had died down to a pant as she felt herself going numb from shock and severe blood loss.
The man must have realised this and knowing that Kimberley would soon be dead he proceeded to saw off her remaining leg to make sure she would at least suffer right up until the end.
The new wave of pain from her other leg being sawed off momentarily brought Kimberley back to her senses and she began screaming once again. To the man’s disappointment, her screams were short lived.
The pain finally left Kimberley’s body as darkness overcame her vision. The last thing she saw was the man smiling as he sawed away at her half severed leg.
Victim #3: Sarah
Sarah, Cheryl and Nadine looked on as the man continued to mutilate Kimberley’s dead body. He removed her cunt in much the same way as he had Nicola’s then he sliced off Kimberley’s tits.
Finally he unstrapped Kimberley’s body from the bench and placed her remains beside those of Nicola.
The three remaining terrified girls’ eyes streamed with tears and their cunts dripped with cum.
The man turned once again to the girls.
“Which of you little bitches wants to be next?” He asked.
The three girls shook their heads frantically as he approached them to select his next victim.
He looked at each in turn before settling his eyes on Sarah.
His ever hard cock twitched in excitement as he soaked up the look of pure terror in Sarah’s crystal blue eyes. He removed her gag and she gave an ear-piercing scream.
He also noticed the looks of relief on Cheryl and Nadine’s faces although their relief would be short lived.
The man lifted Sarah from her hook and carried her kicking and screaming over to the now blood soaked bench and secured her onto it in the same helpless spread eagled position.
“Now,” said the man looking Sarah’s body up and down, “how would you like to die?”
“NOOO! NOOO! NOOO!” screamed Sarah “Not me! Please not me!”
“Yes,” the man said in a low taunting voice. “It’s your turn.”
“Please!” sobbed Sarah. “I won’t tell anybody what you’ve done! I promise! I’ll just say the group’s split up. Please! You don’t need to kill me as well!”
“Why should I care who finds out what I’ve done here?” Asked the man “You’re all just girls aren’t you. It’s not like killing you is illegal, is it? You’ll try anything to save your own tits, won’t you?” Said the man.
“Yes!” Sarah screamed “I’ll even help you!”
“And how do you think you can help me?” The man asked feigning intrigue.
Sarah looked to where Cheryl and Nadine were hanging.
“What if I sucked your cock while you killed Cheryl and Nadine?” She said quickly.
“You’re not much of a friend,” said the man. “Why would you want to do that?”
“Because I hate them!” Screamed Sarah “They’re the most popular. World’s sexiest legs! World’s sexiest woman! That should have been me!” Sarah screamed.
A look of disbelief replaced the fear on Cheryl and Nadine’s faces. Sarah was frightened, true, but neither Nicola nor Kimberley had said anything like this. Fresh tears welled up in Nadine’s eyes but Cheryl’s eyes turned hard and she glared hatefully at Sarah. I hope it’s even fucking slower and more painful for you. You blonde bitch! She though venomously.
The man pretended to consider Sarah’s suggestion then said “I’m afraid I don’t see a way to let you live and cut off your sexy bits.” He said “So it’ll be easier for me and more painful for you if I just kill you like I planned to. But I promise you, your two friends will die just as painfully. You have my word.”
Sarah didn’t doubt it as she began to cry once more whilst the man picked up the long knife he’d used on Kimberley and Nicola’s tits.
The man turned the knife towards Sarah as she screamed in panic at the impending pain she was about to endure.
“Let’s see if we can make you last a bit longer than your friends did,” he said.
Sarah just kept screaming as he groped one soft tit with his rough hand and brought the knife beneath it with his other hand.
“NO!” Screamed Sarah. “Please! Don’t cut off my tits. Please!”
The man ignored her pathetic plea for mercy and brought the sharp blade up to slice through Sarah’s soft helpless tit.
Tremendous pain engulfed Sarah’s body as the man slices effortlessly through her soft flesh and lifted the pert severed tit away and placed it beside her head.
Sarah jerked her head the other way so she didn’t have to look at her own cut off tit.
“Oh my God!” She screamed hysterically, “My tit. You’ve cut off my tit. Put it back on! Please put it back on!”
The man enjoyed Sarah’s hysterical pleading and screaming as he likewise sliced off her second tit and placed it at the other side of her head so that now whichever way she looked, she would see her own severed breasts.
Sarah stared wide eyed in disbelief at the bloody mounds where her pert breasts had been only minutes before.
The man now held the smaller of the two knives Sarah had seen him use to cut out Nicola’s cunt.
Sarah’s own cunt began to throb uncontrollably as the man pushed his rough finger up it and twisted it cruelly.
Sarah winced in pain and screamed.
“Kill me! Please kill me! I can’t bear the pain. Please! You’ve had your fun with me. Please do the rest after I’m dead! Please!”
The man laughed and waved the knife in front of Sarah’s wet cunt.
“Please!” begged Sarah “Please make it quick!”
“If I make it quick I won’t have the pleasure of hearing you scream while I’m sawing into you.” He said.
“Please!” screamed Sarah again. “Please! Kill me now!”
“Your cunt or your legs?” asked the man.
“What?” screamed Sarah “What do you mean?”
“I’m going to cut one more thing off before I kill you. Your cunt or your legs? Your choice.”
Sarah didn’t know what to say. She tried to think: Her cunt would take less time to cut out than it would take to saw off her legs. But the thought of dying without her remaining claim to womanhood attached scared her for some reason. Then she thought of Kimberley’s hideous screams as her legs were being sawed off. She was in enough pain already.
“My cunt!” Sarah screamed. “Cut out my cunt and please make it quick.”
“I’ve got a better idea.” the man said putting down the knife and lifting the saw “I’m going to saw off your legs and make it slow!” He began to laugh.
Sarah screamed louder than ever. Louder than she ever thought possible.
The man clamped his rough hand on Sarah’s wet cunt and positioned the saw and once again began the motion of sawing back and forth.
Sarah screamed as she entered a new world of pain hundreds of times worse than that of her tits being cut off. She could feel the saw grinding into her bone, severing tendons and nerves. She was loosing the feeling in her leg as with each successive stoke of the saw it became a little more detached from her sexy body.
Darkness clouded her vision and she did not try to fight it. She was grateful that she would not live through the agony of her other leg being cut off.
The last thing Sarah Harding saw in her young life was the sight of her own beautiful leg being lifted away from her mutilated body. The last thing she felt was the most fantastic pain and fear induced orgasm.
The man sawed off Sarah’s remaining leg and released her body from the bench setting it and its sexy severed members onto the ground with those of Nicola and Kimberley.
Victim #4: Nadine
Cheryl and Nadine were paralysed with fear. The sight of their friends being dismembered alive was horrific enough but the knowledge that the same was going to happen to them was worse still.
The man walked up to them and he licked his lips lustfully at Nadine.
Nadine shut her eyes and shook her head frantically. She felt his rough hands clasp her pert subtle breasts. Her small perfectly round nipples were hard and pointed.
The man ran his hand down her body to find the wet slit between her perfect legs.
“Oh, Nadine,” said the man breathing heavily. “Your legs are so beautiful.” He pulled her soft body against his own hard muscular frame. His rock hard erection pressed into her soft quivering flesh.
“I hope you’ll live long enough to feel the pain of both your legs being cut off.”
Nadine felt her cunt throb and release its hot girl juice. She was frightened but aroused at the same time. She didn’t understand why.
The man removed her gag to reveal her pretty mouth. Which trembled in fear? Her lovely eyes were filled with tears.
“Please,” Nadine whimpered. “Please.”
The man looked at her. His eyes softened though not with regret.
“I have to, Nadine,” he said. “I need to! You’re my dream victim. You’ve got the most perfect legs in the world.”
“I’d liked to have kept you till last,” he said turning to Cheryl. “But I need someone to suck my cock while I’m cutting your legs off.”
Despite all she had just witnessed Nadine still couldn’t quite believe this was happening.
The man lifted Nadine’s slender body from the hook and set her on her knees.
“Suck my cock,” said the man “Suck my cock and I promise I’ll only cut off your legs while you’re alive.”
Nadine whimpered and nodded.
The man freed her wrists from behind the handcuffs and he made her hug his well toned waist.
He then guided his huge erection into Nadine’s accepting mouth.
Nadine had taken men’s cocks in her mouth before but she couldn’t remember one being this hard.
This was what a man with power tasted like she thought. A man with real power over women. The man who was going to kill her.
Tears fell down Nadine’s face as she savoured the taste of the cruel cock in her lovely mouth.
Oh, God! She thought to herself. Oh God! Why is this turning me on?
She curled her velvet tongue around the huge throbbing organ then used the delicate tip of her tongue to gently lick its raw end.
“Good girl,” Panted the man. “Oh yes! Oh yes! OH YES!”
Hot thick cum spurted from his swollen cockhead into Nadine’s mouth. There was so much of it. Even his cum had a taste of power about it.
Nadine swallowed it all knowing that she had never tasted cum like it b before and that she never would again. She sucked and licked until every last trace of the potent cum was gone.
The man made to withdraw his cock but Nadine tightened her grip around his waist.
His strong hands clamped her delicate wrists. “Don’t be greedy.” He said in a mockingly playful tone as he forced her arms from around his waist.
The man withdrew his still hard cock from Nadine’s mouth then he lifted her light body to the bench.
Nadine’s body convulsed in panic as she was laid on the wooden surface of the bench, too weak with fear to struggle.
“No!” She cried “Please! No!”
The man bound Nadine’s wrists and then her ankles so she lay as the others had with her sexy legs painfully wide apart and her cunt lips open.
The man took a moment to savour the sight of Nadine’s beautiful helpless body in the final terrifying moments of her life.
The man couldn’t resist stroking Nadine’s long stockinged legs with his rough hands and finally licking all the cum she had let out of her sweet sticky cunt.
Nadine’s whimpering became moans as she felt the man’s tongue on her legs then on her cunt and finally inside her cunt. He was good with his tongue she thought. He’d probably had a lot of practice and Nadine wondered how many helpless girls’ cunts he had licked or how many terrified girls mouths he had cum in just before he tortured them to death.
The thought made Nadine cum. It was the most fantastic orgasm she had ever felt and she let out more cum than she had ever let out in her life. For that moment her fear was forgotten and all she felt was ecstasy.
The man licked up Nadine’s cum savouring the taste of her fear.
Nadine lay helplessly as the man returned to where only Cheryl now hung from the ceiling.
Tears filled Cheryl’s beautiful brown eyes as the man lifted her off her hook and ungagged her.
“You’re going to suck my cock while I cut off Nadine’s legs,” said the man to Cheryl. “Then I’m going to let you go.”
“What?” asked Cheryl in disbelief. “You’re going to le let me go?”
“As long as you’re a good girl and do what I want,” said the man. “Will you be a good girl?”
“Yes!” cried Cheryl “Yes I’ll do what you want. Oh thank you. I couldn’t have beared to die like that. I’ve been so frightened! Oh thank you! Thank you!”
Cheryl broke down in tears of relief. A blow-job for my life. She thought. I can live with that.
The man walked Cheryl over to where Nadine lay on the bench sobbing in anticipation of her impending painful death.
“Cheryl?” cried Nadine.
“Oh, Nadine.” said Cheryl without thinking. “He’s not going to kill me! All I have to do is suck him off while he–”
Cheryl looked at Nadine. “Oh, my God! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry but I have to live. I just have to! I’m sorry!”
Nadine screamed in protest. “NOOOOOOOO! Please! It’s not fair!”
The man ordered Cheryl to kneel in front of the bench. With her wrists still cuffed.
He approached her holding the blood soaked saw and directed his hard cock into her waiting mouth.
Cheryl accepted the hard organ gratefully and immediately she began to work her tongue around the rock hard shaft of flesh.
The man took a moment to enjoy the sensation of his cock in Cheryl’s mouth then he placed his hand on Nadine’s throbbing cunt in the customary gesture of steadying the girl’s body before he began to saw.
Nadine screamed as she felt the cold steel of the saw’s jagged teeth touching her smooth skin.
The man couldn’t wait any longer. He drew the saw slowly back and then pushed it forward with a mall amount of pressure so Nadine’s skin broke at the joint between her leg and her pelvis.
Nadine could only scream as the saw went backwards again then forwards burying it a little deeper as the pain increased into a searing hot agony.
The deeper the saw went into Nadine’s body, the greater her pain became, the greater her pain, the louder her screams got.
The man continued to saw through the Nadine’s beautiful body; Cheryl continued to frantically suck the man’s hard cock and Nadine continued to scream as her beautiful leg became more and more detached from her body.
The man stopped sawing and it took Nadine in her world of pain, a moment to realise that her leg was completely severed. The man lifted the sexy long limb up for her to see.
Nadine couldn’t scream. She just lay gasping for breath.
On her knees at the base of the bench Cheryl felt the man shoot his load of hot cum into her hungry mouth. Deciding to play safe she swallowed the hot salty cum and kept his cock, which was still surprisingly hard, in her mouth.
The man looked into Nadine’s tear filled eyes happy that she was still alive.
He then positioned the saw on the opposite side and again began to cut slowly at first then faster as the blade buried itself into Nadine’s body.
Nadine felt herself going cold and numb but the sight of her legs, her pride and joy, not to mention her money-making trademark, being sawed off her helpless body, ensured that she kept screaming even though the pain was beginning to lessen.
The saw did it’s work just as it had done on her other leg and Nadine lay, her vision darkening, unable to scream, unable to speak, unable to make any sound or movement save for her sexy mouth quivering ever so slightly.
The man lifted Nadine’s second sexy leg up and hoped that she still had enough vision to see it being discarded along with the other. He then unfastened Nadine’s legless body and set it on the ground beside those of Nicola, Kimberley and Sarah. The last thing Nadine saw was the pile of beautiful, sexy female body parts.
Victim #5: Cheryl
Cheryl knelt in front of the bench sucking the man’s hard cock and swallowing his cum each time he ejaculated.
Nadine’s hideous screams had finally ceased and tears spilled down Cheryl’s cheeks as she realised that all her friends were dead. She deeply regretted her thoughts toward Sarah before she died. After all, Sarah just wanted do live, as did Nicola, Kimberley and Nadine. But through her regret she was secretly relived that it was over and that she was alive. The price for her life was high but she told herself it had been worth it: she would soon be free, or as free as any beautiful girl was in today’s society.
“You can stop now.” The man said to Cheryl with a sound of immense sexual relief.
Cheryl let the man’s hard cock out of her mouth and sighed in a different kind of relief.
The man then lifted her to her feet.
“Thank you,” said Cheryl weakly as the man unlocked the handcuffs which bound her wrists. Instinctively Cheryl threw her arms around the hooded man and sobbed uncontrollably. She felt his hard cock pressing against her soft body.
“Fuck me!” She whispered softly. “Please fuck me! I need to be fucked!”
The man said nothing but moved his hands down Cheryl’s smooth back and took hold of her pert arse cheeks then heaved her body up so he impaled her wet cunt on his ever hard cock.
“Oh God, yes!” Screamed Cheryl as she slid down the hard column of his man flesh.
She wrapped her black stockinged legs around his thighs as he began to pump into her soft hot body.
“Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes!” Cheryl repeatedly panted.
The man sat Cheryl on the blood soaked bench and then leaned forward forcing her onto her back.
He then proceeded to take her arms from around his neck and held her wrists outstretched towards the corners of the bench.
Cheryl just moaned at the massive cock filling her wet cunt. She didn’t notice until it was too late that the man had fastened one of her wrists to the bench while more and more vigorously he thrust himself into her.
It was only when Cheryl wanted to pull his muscular body closer to her own soft body that she realised her writs had been restrained.
“What are you doing?” She screamed suddenly remembering that she was fucking the man who had mercilessly tortured her four friends.
The man continued to thrust into her more violently now, not caring if he caused Cheryl pain as well as pleasure. He easily held her other wrist into place and tightly secured it in the leather strap.
“No!” Screamed Cheryl. “No! You promised! You promised you’d let me live!”
Panic engulfed Cheryl’s whole body and she convulsed with fear just as the man ejaculated, shooting his hot load up her throbbing cunt. Cheryl screamed as she felt the hot cum enter her body and burn its way up into her body.
The man slowed down and withdrew his cock from Cheryl’s trembling body.
“I lied,” said the man laughing at his own cruelty.
“You didn’t really think I was going to let you live after killing the others, did you?”
Cheryl couldn’t bring herself to answer. She just sobbed as he tied her ankles with the leather straps.
The man then picked up the long knife.
Cheryl’s eyes widened in terror as he squeezed one of her large firm tits and began to slice.
Cheryl’s head exploded into a world of pain as the sharp blade made its way through her tit-flesh.
The man held up her severed tit for her to look at but all Cheryl could stare at was the gaping wound on one side of her chest.
“Did you enjoy that as much as you enjoyed watching it happen to your friends?” Asked the man.
Cheryl screamed at the horrendous pain she was feeling.
The man quickly set to work slicing off Cheryl’s other tit and again he held it up to inspect his handiwork.
Next the man exchanged the knife for its smaller companion and began to cut round Cheryl’s stinging cunt.
Cheryl’s screams got louder and louder as the man pulled out her severed cunt. She wanted it to end. She wanted this to never have happened.
She didn’t want to feel the pain of her legs being sawed off but she knew it was coming as the man discarded the small knife and positioned the saw beside the gaping bloody hole where her cunt had been.
The pain was unlike anything Cheryl had ever imagined. Even as she had watched the others’ legs being sawed off and listened to their screams a part of her tried to convince her that it couldn’t have been so bad. How wrong she was!
She could feel the saw separating her body from her leg and she screamed because scream was all she could do.
Cheryl watched as one of her beautiful legs was raised up high for her to see and fully contemplate what had happened to her.
The man, delighted by the fact that Cheryl still alive began to saw at her remaining leg.
As them man sawed away at the her remaining sexy black stockinged leg Cheryl’s vision blurred and then darkened but not before the man held up her leg to admire his sawing skills one last time.
* * *
The man looked at the beautiful dismembered bodies of five of the world’s sexiest girls. He set about sorting into pairs their severed tits and legs. He then carefully cut off each head from its dead torso and likewise grouped them with their respective severed limbs. All that remained was to pay the coach driver, take photos of the body parts for their auction on eBay and burn enough copies of the DVD he had just filmed.
Girls Aloud: The world’s sexiest all girl pop group had died the painful sexy deaths they had always deserved.
Epilogue
I switched of the DVD player suitably fulfilled by what I had just watched. I stroked Nadine’s beautiful legs in my lap. They felt smooth and subtle and were even more beautiful in the flesh than I had ever imagined.
The front door opened and I saw that it was my sexy little sixteen year old sister, Vicki, coming home from school.
Vicki was in awe at how beautiful Nadine’s legs were and said that I should dress them up in tights or stockings and display them in my room.
I looked at my little sister’s own sexy legs and decided that after watching such a sexy DVD that needed to pay a game with her.
“Strip!” I said to her. “Everything but your stockings and heels.”
Vicki quickly obeyed. She loved our games as much as I did.
“What are we playing?” Vicki asked “The Princess and The Executioner? Or the Prostitute Punishments?”
“It’s a surprise,” I said to her. “Run upstairs and lie on my bed with your legs wide apart and I’ll be up in a minute.”
Vicki ran excitedly out of the room and up the stairs. I would follow her soon but first I went to the shed to find a sharp saw and some strong rope.

Change is Needed in How Media Promotes Gender Specific  Behaviors- Racquel Garwood (620107906)
Media portrays and perpetuates gender-specific behaviors through their representation of males and females. This portrayal is gender-specific in that there is a representation of actions that are intended for only one sex. That is, a job that is intended for only males or females based on representation. This representation influences and affects our relationships, interactions and overall socialization. Although, they are often confused and related, the word sex and gender are not synonymous. Sex is biological and assigned at birth while gender is the values and cultural roles usually associated with each sex. There are many changes needed in the way media portrays and represent gender, gender roles and gender expectations. 
Media can be defined as the outlets and tools used to transmit and share information with people. Gender stereotypes are transmitted through television, advertisement, music and many other forms of media. From the moment we are able to understand, there are specific roles and behaviors that are expected based on sex. Females are expected to be innocent and desirable while men should be brave and strong. The aspirations for females traditionally are expected to be marriage and motherhood. Whereas men are groomed to be the head of the household financially and authority wise. There are expectations associated with how we dress, speak and behave.    
Firstly, our life goals as either male or female is portrayed through media in an unrealistic and stereotypical light. Little girls learn through countless princess movies that were made and are still being made that their happily ever after will be achieved through love from a handsome prince. It is expected that a female’s main goal should be to find a husband and become a mother, which these princess movies highlight by focusing on what they portray as romantic relationships.   They also portray and idolize what is the deemed the perfect relationship, which conflicts with the reality of actual relationships. From a tender age, females are taught that this is the ultimate goal, “happily ever-after". 
For males, the princes are viewed as handsome, wealthy and the hero of the story. Promoting the notion that masculinity is having to be the provider, the one that saves the day. These fairytales promote images that are misconstrued for both males and females as not all females grow up to marry or have children and not all males are the breadwinners for their families, which does not make them any less feminine or masculine. For example, in the fairy tale Cinderella. There have been many renditions of this classic that teaches girls that life does not get better until they meet a handsome prince to rescue them from an unpleasant lifestyle. 
Tumblr media
An image from Disney’s Cinderella (1950).
Secondly, the media influence the way we dress and what attire is considered masculine or feminine. A person's way of dress becomes an important marker for their gender identity. From the moment we are born gender roles are assigned through our attire. It is expected that a baby would be dressed in a specific color to identify whether they were male or female. Pink symbolizing that the child is a girl and blue being boy. These colors are then deemed feminine or masculine. Using attire to shape and understand another person’ gender identity is then embedded in our socialization. For example, when males wear clothing that are mostly portrayed by the media as attire for women there are connotations made about their sexuality and identity as a man. Whenever females dress in a manner that is considered more masculine, she is labelled as a tomboy and the same assumptions may be drawn about her sexuality and gender identity.  
youtube
The song Tomboy by Destiny Rogers demonstrate many of these views. 
Lastly, the most common stereotypical representation by the media that needs to change is the portrayal of qualities that are supposed to be associated with each gender. Females are expected to be submissive, desirable and soft-spoken, while men are expected to be rough, assertive, aggressive and more focused on sexual conquests. The media’s portrayal of femininity and masculinity becomes what is expected of the sexes. For example, boys are told countlessly to “be a man” or “men don’t cry”. When in reality, crying is a human quality that is a normal part of grief or sadness and is not associated with weakness or a specific gender. 
Movies, television shows, music and even modern culture are a tremendous influence when it comes to gendered expectations of masculinity and femininity. Gatekeepers and media content creators should strive to be more careful with the messages that are being released. For example, women are highly underrepresented within the media which can be changed. The stereotypical connotations of men and women can be altered to reflect a more neutral and uplifting view. Changes are being made, for example with the release of Princesses in fairy tales such as Moana and Frozen where the stereotypical love story was not necessary to the plot of the story. However, there is much more work needed in how we view and represent the genders.

Gender: Unisex
Origin: English
Meaning: From The Alder Grove
1. Meaning of the name "Delaney"
The transfer using the Irish family name is derived from Gaelic O'Dubhshláine, meaning uncertainty. The name Delaney is the name of an Irish girl who means "dark challenger". Delaney has been a well-known Irish family name for several decades, projecting exuberant enthusiasm and a sense of femininity.
The name Delaney is a very recent use of a surname of British origin but of French (Norman) origin. There is a place in Normandy named Aunou-sur-Orne, and one from this position will be another, who will develop into Delaney in England after the Norman conquest.
Annou itself is derived from the ancient French aunaie Landscape meaning gro alder grove. Currently Alder is a species of flowering plant from the birch family. The alder root system can also sink in water, so the Celts believe that their roots provide shelter for fish and the decomposed leaves in the water to provide abundant nutrients for all aquatic organisms.
The alder wood was used by the Celtic people for crafting of musical instruments as well as an effective source of charcoal fuel. Lastly, the Celtic people believed that the alder possessed a secret, sacred flame within itself. Much revered was this plant to the ancient Celts – filled with sacred, hidden powers and a giving, restorative nature.
