Mesmerizing the Cheerleaders (Magical Mesmerism)

Chronic loser Daniel is given a magic watch that can completely entrance anyone he chooses. Of course, who he chooses is his longtime crush, Valerie, intelligent and devastatingly beautiful. But now that she’s joined the cheerleading squad, he can only get to her if he entrances all of the hot teen cheerleaders one by one and turns them into his personal loving servants. What he doesn’t know about, of course, is the crush that Valerie has been nursing on Daniel for just as long as he’s had his, and how incredibly sexy Valerie thinks it is that he would break the minds of so many hot girls just to get to her… For mature audiences only—this erotica short (~6700 words) contains the story of one young man’s dominance over a whole cheerleading squad, from the coach on down, completely entrancing the snottiest, snobbiest barely legal girls in town and commanding them to practice their lovemaking skills with each other, in addition to conquering their wills so they happily deliver handjobs, blowjobs, and sex with multiple partners, topped off with the hot willing submission of the most gorgeous babe on the squad! Excerpt: For the first time, Monica noticed Joanna’s arm movements, her hand pumping underneath the desk. How close she was sitting to Daniel. How she stared at him with complete adoration, unless he motioned with a finger for her attention to be on Monica. Monica was no stranger to sex. It was an excellent way to control men. She had never gone all the way, of course, but she had given out her fair share of handies and blowjobs. She could only promise them for money and favors so much, after all, without delivering. Mostly, she didn’t enjoy it. Sex was a means to an end—but she enjoyed that end, power, so very much. “Joanna, are you…are you giving him a handjob?” Now caught, Joanna seemed just to speed up her efforts, staring into Daniel’s face “Of course I am, dear. He deserves it, for working so hard and being so wonderful. Isn’t he wonderful? Say how wonderful he is, Monica. Do it with me. You’ll really enjoy it, I promise. I didn’t think I would at first, but he showed me how wrong I was. He’s so good like that.” She stroked his hair, kissing his face just a bit. Her eyes full of worshipful zeal, the kind that Monica had only seen in Joanna’s face before when she had been discussing new cheering routines. “B-but you have a husband! A little girl!” “Oh, them. I don’t really care about them. Master said I could divorce that fat lout and stick him with the child. At least until she’s old enough for Master to take, just like he took me and he’s going to take you! By that time I’ll probably be too old to fuck him good enough anyway, so I’ll have a perfect replacement on the way already. Isn’t that great?” “Shut up already,” said Daniel, putting a hand on the back of her head. Joanna nodded happily and gracefully slid down between his legs. Monica didn’t have to use much of her imagination to understand what she was doing. The hot, loud slurping sounds required very little thought to fill in the blanks...

The Dead and the Beautiful

A top realtor to the stars, Nikki Harper is often privy to the kind of celebrity secrets the tabloids would kill to hear. Not that she would ever kiss and tell. These days, Nikki puts her Hollywood inner circle status to good use by acting as hometown amateur sleuth. Nikki thought she'd seen it all, but the latest murder case to rock Tinsel Town is darker than anything she's seen so far. Ryan Melton is well-known around town as the arm candy husband of former child star Diara Elliott. Beautiful and ambitious, Diara is now featured on the TV series Casa Capri, which stars none other than Nikki's mother, Victoria Bordeaux. In fact, Nikki recently met Ryan and Diara at one of her mother's parties. But just days later, Ryan's lifeless body is found by his swimming pool, and the security tapes that captured the crime have been mysteriously erased. The prime suspect in Ryan's murder is the last person to see him alive: his dog walker Alison Sahira, who is also the sister of Nikki's own boyfriend.

But Alison is harboring a dirty little secret - one that could implicate a set of A-listers more accustomed to People than perp walks. Sorting through a tangled web of lies and innuendo, Nikki is racing to find the truth - before she becomes the next target on Hollywood's deadliest new hit list...
