    Most of these stories are marked adult and have been described as different and often involve boy toys and a little social commentary. They aren't to everyone's taste but some people enjoy them. They are in British English even if set in North America. If you enjoy one, try another, if they aren't to your taste just move on to a different author.Some are set in Regency England and explore a time when there were many changes over a short period of time. These are very not so mainstream and not quite so light hearted as some of the others.

      The Mill - Karen Blayne

      The Mill

      Karen Blayne

      Oh by the way red tape first.

      Be warned these short stories contain mature content or naughty bits and as such may corrupt you if you’re under 12, 16, 18, 21 or 25 depending where you live thus they are not suitable for you so put them back on the shelf and let them age for a year or two.

      They were sort of scribbled for fun. All characters who indulge in hank panky are 18 years old or older.. ©2015 Karen Blayne

      Gerard looked at his hand, as a younger son he wasn't quite sure he had the money to sit in this game. At least he didn't have the money to get drunk as he played. He'd played carefully all evening and now if his memory was right his three jacks might even win. He upped the bet and moments later he was scooping up over a hundred pounds, well that should last him to quarter day at least. Ah Blackwood, I'll take that and in return here's the deeds of an estate so that makes you landed gentry now. As he drifted off he could be heard telling his friends that Gerard had been his fag and the estate was somewhere quite dreadful, north even of Potters Bar and mortgaged to the hilt so he was happy with his hundred pounds in cash and turning his old fag into landed gentry was quite the joke.

      Oh well he'd put his original stake back in his pocket an hour or two ago so he was no worse off than when he'd sat down. Perhaps he'd go and inspect his new estate. He looked down to the address, Barwick-in-Elmet in the County of Yorkshire, well yes that was well north of Potter's Bar. Elmet? Some ancient Celtic kingdom? He'd overspent last quarter and was down to his last twenty pounds, at London prices he
