The first out-of-this-world (or, under it?) tale in "Kinksters" is an erotic adaptation of the Inuit legend about a three-headed sea monster that lives beneath the ice. This slithery, silvery, serpentine creature might just be interested in devouring a delicacy called woman.
In addition to appearing in Kinksters, "Beneath the Ice" is available as an ebook.
The sea monster Kaloopalooit lives in the cracks of the ocean ice, devouring the children of the Arctic.
When Enooya bets her husband she's a better fisher than he, she sets off unperturbed to the fissures in the sea ice. After all, the Kaloopalooit is just an imaginary monster the elders created to scare kids. Soon enough, Enooya discovers just how real the Kaloopalooit is, when it pursues her, dragging her down into the icy waters. The sea monster is beautiful and horrible, shimmering and bizarre. In exchange for breath, it demands that Enooya secure children for its dinner. Enooya has a better idea: Why not sample the delicacy called woman?
Excerpt:
The
coil circled tighter around Enooya’s core as the faces of the monster gazed
beseechingly, gallantly and broodingly, respectively. Those faces, frightening
yet beyond beautiful, appealed to her.
Enooya
had an idea. “Have you ever tried
woman?”
“Woman?”
“Woman?”
“What
is Woman?”
“Woman
is a delicacy where I come from,” Enooya said. “Woman is tangy and sweet,
fleshy and filling. Woman is the highlight of the buffet.”
“I
would like to try Woman,” the thin face decided, licking his lips with a thick,
pointed tongue.
“Well,
you’re in luck because there’s a plentiful supply right before your eyes.”
The
Kaloopalooit looked off in all directions.
“I
mean me!” Enooya cried in exasperation. Slow
learners, these sea monsters.
The
Kaloopalooit’s six eyes took on an air of consideration as their heads all
bobbed in circles around Enooya.
“We
would regret to destroy you,” said the noble one. “We have taken quite a liking
to you.”
“I
haven’t,” grunted the mean one.
“Yes
he has,” the plump, patient one consoled.
“Destruction
is not on the menu. Eating a woman is not like eating food.
It is done with great care and consideration.”
The
monsters appeared puzzled.
“It’s
like the kiss of life you gave me.”
“He gave you,” the nasty one clarified,
with a nod in the noble head’s direction. “I would just as easily have let you die.”
“No
he wouldn’t have,” said the kind one, shaking her head.
“It’s
a kiss of life for the entire body,” Enooya went on.
The
Kaloopalooit huddled out of earshot, whispering from one head to another. The
mean one broke away, then returned begrudgingly to the conversation. There was
a collective nod, though the nasty head’s was not as enthusiastic.
“We
have agreed,” the noble one said. “We are very curious to taste Woman.”
