Riding Red

By Charles Payseur

Big and Red are conmen and lovers a bit down on their luck when they learn of an easy mark, a rich old woman who lives alone in the woods. Hoping to ingratiate themselves by pretending Red is her long lost granddaughter (complete with red dress and basket of baked goods), they set out over the river and through the woods, even if Red is a bit hesitant about the cross-dressing.

When they aren't the only ones trying to cash in, their plans have to change. Jack, a trickster himself, is already on the scene, and is very good at making both Big and Red rather hot and bothered. And when it turns out the little old woman is running a con of her own, all bets are off, and the fur -- and clothing -- will fly as everyone scrambles to survive.

Riding Red

By Charles Payseur

Red frowned as he looked down at himself, at the dress Big must have picked out. It was shorter than he would have liked, coming down well north of his knees, with a bright red ribbon that cinched at the waist and dangled to tickle his thighs. The dress was plain white, just a bit gauzy, and he wore a padded bra underneath to give him the illusion of a modest bust. A bright red cloak completed the look, tied over his chest with another bow of red ribbon. He looked ridiculous. A bit hot, but mostly ridiculous.

This is never going to work, he said, turning slowly, not really sure he wanted to know where Big got the outfit.

Of course it will, Big said, standing nearby, mouth hanging open slightly as he regarded Red with an obviously hungry expression. Red took a deep breath. Of course it was him wearing the dress. Big lived up to his nickname, standing easily six-foot-five and as wide as an oak, his bare chest like a collection of smooth stonework. Smooth for the moment, at least. As a shifter, Big could sprout fur and a muzzle, razor-sharp teeth and long claws. Whatever his form, though, his ice blue eyes and lean, honed body were the antithesis of small.

At least, it had better, Big said, and shoved the basket he had been carrying since they left town at Red, who eyed it skeptically. I spent the last of our money on the dress and this basket of baked goods.
