Eric Ross: Stories

In a shop thick with oil and silence, a clockmaker discovers a key that rewinds time in precise increments. His apprentice, Lira, turns it with him. Loops stretch. Desire deepens. But the clocks begin to falter—and so do they. Ticks blur. Scars remain. Moments once shared begin to slip. Each turn takes something: breath, memory, steadiness. What remains when time breaks around you, and you can’t remember who you were before?

She’s the moon. He’s a library assistant. The books moan, the lights flicker, and someone’s overdue for a cosmic orgasm. When Mona crashes into Earth in virginal human form and lands a job shelving steamy romances, she expects peace and quiet, not toe-curling sex in the stacks. But Theo’s got a barcoded smirk and hands that know how to file her under “needs it now.” It’s celestial chaos and steamy chemistry.

In Starwick, Cinderella doesn’t dream of rescue—she dreams of power. When a mysterious seamstress gifts her a scandalous gown and a spell with a warning, she crashes the royal ball like a dare in heels. But this isn’t a tale of glass slippers and true love. It’s a smutty little tale of lust, rebellion, and choosing what burns. Midnight won’t break the spell—she will. And the prince? He’s just the first thing she makes hers.

A mysterious vintage Leica begins delivering photographs Alex never took—intimate moments with a woman he hasn’t met. Each image pulls him deeper into the city’s shadows and toward Maya, a poet with secrets of her own.

A grief-numbed drifter rides into a dying Texas town and falls into bed—and danger—with two women who want more than his body.

When Hansel and Gretel stumble on a gingerbread trap, they find more than candy: a sultry witch, a forager with wandering hands, and a chance to rewrite their fairy tale with rope, heat, and no regrets. Hansel meets his match in the woods. Gretel? She goes back for seconds. Taste My Sweets is a funny and erotic retelling of desire, danger, and the kind of magic you can only cast with your mouth. It’s definitely NOT the fairy tale you remember.

Once a year, the gate opens—for Aisha and Elior alone. The garden remembers them, and as vines part and figs split, they answer its call with sweat, laughter, and a hunger sharpened by absence.

It’s something wilder—sacred, erotic, and entirely theirs.

Mother’s Day brunch begins with croissants and compliments—but ends in unthinkable heat.
