Time and Time Again (a spicy SF/fantasy collection)

In 2024/25, author Ewan Stone wrote and published one erotic short story every month for a full year*. Those stories are available on his website and the Literotica platform, but they have now been re-drafted and assembled into this collection of works.

Each story is a unique snapshot in either the science fiction or fantasy genre. Most are told in first-person present from a male perspective, and the average length is seven thousand words.

1. Collaborative Working (scifi, 4,600 words). Two deep-space couriers share the confines of their lightspeed shuttle, as well as each other.
