"Your father and my aunt set us up for this."
He cocked his eyebrows at her and put the champagne bottle and glass down on the floor. He returned to face her with a smirk. "Good. I'll have something to play with."
"Excuse me?! Something to play with? Want me to cut your balls out?"
"Ouch...sexual harassment," he winced dramatically to mock her. "At least I don't go as low."
She let out an indignant huff. "The hell, you liar! You were the first to comment so off-handedly about my body!"
"That's a compliment, you know."
"Don't act as if you've never heard of sexual harassment laws." She rolled her eyes at him. "And that, you pig, is sexual harassment."
"Yeah I know. Only girls would take that as a compliment. I forgot that you're a mule." He laughed heartily.
"Freakish pig! Get out of the bed!" She glared at him.
"Uh, no thank you. I like this bed. If you want to sleep in this room, sleep on the couch. If you don't want to, then just get another room. I'm sure you can pay for it Ms. CEO."
"You know, if I could, I'd throw you out and lock you there."
"And of course, you can't. And I suppose you have another reason other than the fact that you will always be weaker than me."
"You're a misogynist, you know that?" She glared at him.
He grinned at her. "Yeah, only to you. But that is inaccurate since I haven't, as you say, f'd you yet. I wonder what your aunt would say to such crass language. I wonder if I would mind if I did. Want to try it out?"
"Go to hell."
"As long as you're not there."

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
