Welcome to the Gambler Series
Dark, Erotic Fiction

Who would want this as an origin story?

A story that includes attempted theft, then being forced to abandon everything that's known and familiar?  A story that includes rope, knives, and handcuffs?

Turns out, Dani Santoro is all for the second part, but she has to survive Seth's temper first. Running away with him will upend her entire life and change everything - including her name - but it may just be worth it. It may just fulfill every secret fantasy she's ever had.

You need someone to tell you what to do, and I like telling you what to do.

Can she really give him everything? Will he take it?


Series features strong themes of dubious consent, consensual non-consent, D/s, BDSM, some non-consensual assault (Aces and Spaces), and violence (Riding It Out). 

If that excites you, intrigues you, or turns you on, please proceed. Otherwise, feel free to turn back now.

Latest release!!

The new year has brought only tragedy to Joe Connolly. First, his sister Hannah ends her own life, then a dear friend is involved in a near-fatal car accident, and it's only February.

​2020 has to get better right?

Maybe. Enter Emily Cooper. Daughter of a prominent local chef, she shares Joe's tastes in all the right things - food, wine, kinks. She's even supportive of his asexuality. 

But will Joe's grief overpower their new relationship? And can Emily emerge from her father's shadow to pursue her own dreams? They will have to endure a year of unprecedented challenges in order to find love.


CW for extensive discussion on mental health including suicide, family drama, and all things, well, 2020.

Also features some D/s and BDSM but not as extensive as the Gambler Series. Looking for more romance and less kink? This one is for you.

Me jock. No need words

This guy described himself in his very short profile as a jock. And boy did he live up to the stereotype. I don't normally quote from these guys' profiles, but in this case, it only reinforces that how he wrote to me really is how he is. Apparently. 

From the profile: "Single male that is open an very blunt kind of person. Dom kinda guy for the same sex and it's an turn on when the females can express with she wants in the bedroom . I'm open for new adventures but not always willing to try new things ." 

He does list himself as bisexual, but that barely helps with that word salad. He also calls himself a Master. Of what? I have no idea. Oh, and he had a local special interest group listed which gave me a little hope. Unfortunately, that hope was unfounded.

On with the convo: 
Jock: love ur profile hun. very much intrested in meeting u . love the age and ur body its and dream come true to meet u
Me: Not your hun. But going to local events is a great way to meet people in person. I'm at them pretty regularly.
Jock: just like this site is great to meet ppl. i am not try to do what are in ur pics. plain hang out an maybe listen to music or an movie. or even sitting on my face would make my decade. i never seen an women of ur calibur before
(I stared at this for several minutes. How exactly does one go from 'let's watch a movie' to 'maybe you'll sit on my face'?
Me: I prefer events and not being asked to sit on someone's face in a second message.
Jock: yes but its best to be blunt an honest then beat around the bush or other things that humans do wrong. and where on an site that we talk like that an things happen like that. my bad if i mad u upset
Me: Not upset. But kink site or not, you need to talk to people like you would anywhere else. I'm still a person, not a fetish dispenser. With a profile that goes beyond pretty pictures. You could have brought up anything on there.

Apparently, it wasn't as fun when I was the one being blunt. And I don't think that was even rude. I could have been so much harder on him. Ah well.

    Content Warning

    The above works of fiction largely depict consensual kink/BDSM activities among adults. However, in order to reflect real-world scenarios, both Aces and Spaces and Riding it Out feature descriptions and scenes of rape/sexual assault.
     
    Also, An Offsuited Pair features the depiction of a hate crime that results in a death. In retrospect, the situation was probably unnecessary. At the time of writing, I justified it as reflecting reality. I am currently working on more positive depictions and will continue to do so in the future. 

    Finally, Dominating the Hand includes depictions of gaslighting and emotional trauma.
