Violent secret society plagued 1930s Detroit

Eighty years ago this spring, the murder of Detroiter Charley Poole led to the exposure of the Black Legion, a Klan-like organization that flourished in southeast Michigan. The revelation that tens of thousands of men, including police and elected officials, belonged to a violent, hooded secret society spawned hysteria, demands for a federal investigation and, too, a Humphrey Bogart movie.

Legion members were prosecuted for two murders, but they were responsible for dozens more, as well as beatings, bombings and dire plots.

The legion’s reign of terror rates as one of Detroit’s darkest moments but it coincided with one of its most glorious. Between autumn 1935 and spring 1936, the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings all won championships as undefeated boxer Joe Louis became a national figure.

Author Tom Stanton, an associate professor of journalism at the University of Detroit Mercy, delves into the legion’s activities in his new book, “Terror in the City of Champions.” This adapted excerpt details the 1936 Poole killing.

Dayton Dean, a pipe wrapper for the Detroit lighting commission, went to Eppinger Sporting Goods in Cadillac Square on Monday, May 11, 1936, to take target practice in the fourth floor range.

The next evening, Dean went to a gathering at Findlater Temple, a two-story structure with 20-foot columns at Waterman and West Lafayette. Nearby was an industrial area that included factories for American Brass and Fisher Fleetwood.

A “White Russian,” Victor Nicholas Schultz, lectured the crowd of nearly 50 legionnaires, decrying the communists who he said had destroyed his native land. He warned the same thing could happen in America. When Schultz finished, Col. Harvey Davis, leader of a legion regiment, took center stage.

There was another serious issue to be tackled, Col. Davis said. A Catholic man, Charley Poole, had beaten and kicked his expectant Baptist wife, Rebecca, so badly that she was in Herman Kiefer Hospital at the very moment, and her baby wouldn’t be born alive, he said.

There was one major problem with the story. It was untrue. Poole had not hit his wife. There had been no beating. Rebecca was in the hospital because she had delivered a second daughter.

Legionnaire Lowell Rushing had helped spread the false story. He disliked Charley Poole for having married Rebecca 18 months earlier. Rushing had grown up with Rebecca back in Danville, Tennessee. Some years back, Rebecca had spent a summer in the home of her sister, who was married to Rushing’s brother. Lowell had spent that same summer under the same roof and become smitten with pretty, 90-pound Rebecca and her high-pitched, childlike voice.

The rumor of the beating became embellished, and grew into the large tale that Col. Harvey Davis spread at the May 12 meeting, inflaming the men with colorful details and working them into a fervor. What should be done? he asked.

Poole had been mostly unemployed since losing his job around Christmas and was working two days a week with the WPA. Over the years, he had been a mechanic, a chef and a shipman on the Great Lakes, but money always seemed tight. The landlord was allowing him to stay temporarily with the understanding that he would pay him back once he found a job.

Poole was a talented athlete. Col. Davis told him he could get him a position that would include playing for the Timken Axle baseball team. He said he would send someone by later to take him to a team meeting to be measured for a uniform. It was not uncommon for some workers to be hired based on their ability to contribute in the competitive industrial sports leagues. Poole was a catcher, like the Tigers’ Mickey Cochrane.

That night, the livid crowd inside Findlater Temple called for justice. They demanded a beating, a lynching or a one-way ride for Charley Poole. Davis had already procured his gunmen, Ervin Lee and Dayton Dean. Others volunteered. Until then, some had done little with the Black Legion.

Twenty-two-year-old Urban Lipps had come to Michigan from Mississippi a year earlier. Feeling lonesome, he had accepted an invitation to a party, hoping to meet friends and build a social life outside his job at Hudson Motor Company. Instead, he was inducted into the legion. Thousands of men were tricked into joining. The ritual, conducted in the dark by robed men with guns, petrified Lipps. The only former members were dead members, he was told.

“A fellow hardly knows how he gets into these things,” he would say.

Poole must have thought his life was finally taking a turn for the better with the possibility of a decent job and a spot on a factory team. He may have wondered, though, if he had heard Col. Harvey Davis correctly, for Poole and two pals went to three beer gardens that evening looking for his baseball ride. They started out at Hayes Chop House around the corner from his flat. They walked next to the Blue Ribbon Café, a mile up Fort, and then proceeded to Joe’s Pavilion, a dancing spot across from Ternstedt Manufacturing.

At each place, Poole let the bartender know where he could be found if someone came looking. He wasn’t taking chances with his wardrobe, either. He looked smart, dressed in a second-hand, dark-brown suit, red tie, stylish pin-striped red-and-purple shirt, gray socks and black Oxfords. He was sitting in Joe’s Pavilion when blonde-haired Urban Lipps walked up to the table.

“Are you going to the baseball party?” Lipps asked.

“Sure,” Poole said.

The proposition sounded so good that all three men wanted to go. But there was room for only Charley Poole. They left the bar, and Lipps led Poole to a car. Poole slid into the backseat beside Dayton Dean. The nighttime caravan of four cars headed out of Detroit along Fort Street.

Poole was excited about the baseball meeting. Dean and Lipps kept up the charade by talking about the Tigers. Ever since the October World Series, baseball had been a topic of choice around town. Earlier in the day, the Tigers had shut out Boston. It was their second straight win.

Two cars made it over the Rouge River before the drawbridge lifted. The others waited for a ship to pass. The industrial skyline at nighttime was eerie, ominous and menacing. Floodlights — white, red, amber — dotted land and sky, spreading orbs over looming cranes and smokestacks and throwing shadows across hard, hostile structures. Flames flared from narrow pipes, and massive, forbidding buildings stood silhouetted against the sky. Ghostly clouds of illuminated smoke hovered around them.

Charley Poole noticed the moon. It shone large, a scuffed cue ball against a blue-felt sky. Poole commented to Dayton Dean about it as they drove. They were heading to Dearborn, holding close to the Rouge River where possible. Poole talked about his wife and two young daughters. Dean began feeling there was “something fishy” about Col. Harvey Davis’ tale of the beating. But he had his orders, and he knew he could be killed for disobeying them.

It was a long ride before they stopped along Gulley Road. A golf course lay 300 yards away. Lipps and Poole stayed in the car near a one-lane bridge. Dean and Ervin Lee got out to confer with Col. Davis and the other men. A bottle of liquor passed between them. Lee went back to the car and offered Lipps and Poole a drink. Poole declined.

He had begun to doubt the baseball meeting.

“What is this going to be, a party out under the stars?” Poole asked.

Lee laughed and said yes.

Col. Davis directed Dean to get Poole. Dean pulled out his .38 and .45. Poole didn’t fight as Dean ushered him to a spot near a ditch. He stood six feet from him. Lee was to Dean’s left. Col. Davis stayed behind both of them, armed with a revolver.

Poole asked why they had pulled guns. He said he hadn’t done anything.

“You’re a dirty liar,” replied Col. Davis. “You know what you’ve done and what you have been brought out here for. You know you beat up your wife — ”

“Boys, there must be some mistake,” he said. “I never — ”

Col. Davis swore at him. “You’ll never live to do it again,” he said.

Dean looked around. There wasn’t much light, and he couldn’t see Poole’s face. In the brief, quiet pause, Dean figured it was time to act. He fired at Poole. So did Lee, but off to the side. Dean shot eight times from the hip, unloading with both hands. Poole collapsed into the ditch. He had been struck six times. They waited to make certain he was dead. The pop of the gun awoke farmer Fred Shettleman, who figured it must be a backfiring car. He fell back asleep.

Col. Davis scolded Dean for shooting too early; he had wanted to lecture Poole some more. Col. Davis told the men to keep their mouths shut about the killing. They drove back to Fort Street. A few of them went to a German inn, where they sat amid cigar and cigarette smoke in the tawny light of a half-curtained barroom and chatted over beers.

Col. Davis walked home. The fresh air might clear his mind.

Poole slaying helped expose Black Legion

national poetry month, day 23

Report from a Besieged City Too old to carry arms and to fight like others— they generously assigned to me the inferior role of a chronicler I record—not knowing for whom—the history of the siege I have to be precise but I don’t know when the invasion began two hundred years ago in December in autumn perhaps yesterday at dawn here everybody is losing the sense of time we were left with the place an attachment to the place still we keep ruins of temples phantoms of gardens of houses if we were to lose the ruins we would be left with nothing I write as I can in the rhythm of unending weeks monday: storehouses are empty a rat is now a unit of currency tuesday: the mayor is killed by unknown assailants wednesday: talks of armistice the enemy interned our envoys we don’t know where they are being kept i.e. tortured thursday: after a stormy meeting the majority voted down the motion of spice merchants on unconditional surrender friday: the onset of plague saturday: the suicide of N.N., the most steadfast defender sunday: no water we repulsed the attack at the eastern gate named the Gate of the Alliance I know all this is monotonous nobody would care I avoid comments keep emotions under control describe facts they say facts only are valued on foreign markets but with a certain pride I wish to convey to the world thanks to the war we raised a new species of children our children don’t like fairy tales they play killing day and night they dream of soup bread bones exactly like dogs and cats in the evening I like to wander in the confines of the City along the frontiers of our uncertain freedom I look from above on the multitude of armies on their lights I listen to the din of drums to barbaric shrieks it’s incredible that the City is still resisting the siege has been long the foes must replace each other they have nothing in common except a desire to destroy us the Goths the Tartars the Swedes the Emperor’s troops regiments of Our Lord’s Transfiguration who could count them colors of banners change as does the forest on the horizon from the bird’s delicate yellow in the spring through the green the red to the winter black and so in the evening freed from facts I am able to give thought to bygone far away matters for instance to our allies overseas I know they feel true compassion they send us flour sacks of comfort lard and good counsel without even realizing that we were betrayed by their fathers our former allies from the time of the second Apocalypse their sons are not guilty they deserve our gratitude we are so grateful they have never lived through the eternity of a siege those marked by misfortune are always alone Dalai Lama’s defenders Kurds Afghan mountaineers now as I write these words proponents of compromise have won a slightly advantage over the part of the dauntless usual shifts of mood our fate is still in the balance cemeteries grow larger the number of defenders shrinks but the defense continues and will last to the end and even if the City falls and one of us survives he will carry the City inside him on the roads of exile he will be the City we look at the face of hunger the face of fire the face of death and the worst of them all—the face of treason and only our dreams have not been humiliated (Warsaw 1982) —Zbigniew Herbert (trans. by Czesław Miłosz)

The Gorsimp Chronicles - Chapter 2

Gortash x Tav | Explicit Read on AO3 | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Fic is written in turns by @bloodlessbhaalbabe and me! Dividers indicate POV changes.

His smirk fell from his face as Tav stood and pulled her trousers back up. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything she turned on her heel and rounded the corner. He groaned and fell onto his back and covered his face. With a deep sigh, he rolled over to stand up and dragged his feet back to his apartment on the other side of town.

Luckily, he had stashed away a large sum of coin before his not-so untimely demise and so he wasn’t living a life picking up scraps. His apartment still overlooked the entirety of Baldur’s Gate with a view of the harbor in the distance. He didn’t risk finding a place amongst the nobles, but was still the wealthiest of his neighbors.

As he shrugged off his clothes from the evening and kicked them into the corner, his mind swirled about that night’s events. He knew he should have told her immediately. He couldn’t help but fall into his old schemes and betray the ones he begrudgingly cared for. But he was still at risk. People still treated Horatio terribly because of what he did. He couldn’t imagine what they would do if they found out the wrong person was killed.

Enver’s thoughts drifted back to Tav as he fell into his bed, butt naked. He could still taste her on his lips. His cock swelled in between his legs. He leaned over to the nightstand and pulled out a small vial of oil and poured a small amount into his palm before rubbing it against his length.

Enver moaned with each pump up and down his shaft. He imagined Tav’s shaking thighs wrapped around his head and her moaning his name. Enver. It wasn’t long before his stomach tightened and strands of come landed on his hand and chest as he gasped Tav’s name.

He grabbed whatever fabric he could find next to his bed and wiped himself off before rolling over and quickly falling asleep.

The following morning he woke up and shuffled his way over to his bathroom. He bent over a basin of water and scrubbed his face and body before pulling on a luxurious red velour robe and walking out onto his balcony. He leaned against the metal bars and scanned the city below. To his surprise, he saw Tav on the rooftop of the Elfsong, drinking from a teacup and writing into a journal. He bit down the urge to call for her, but instead retreated back into his apartment and dug into his closet to find something to wear before it was too late.

Tav hadn’t slept a single minute. Initially she’d been too furious to close her eyes, instead pacing up and down her room like a caged animal. Then, her thoughts had slowly spiraled into wondering what the hell was wrong with her. Making out with Enver’s twin in a dark side alley? Worse, coming to the thought of Enver? Leaving him there, to himself, only to waste the opportunity to finally say all the things that had been haunting her ever since Enver – or Horatio – had dropped dead next to her during the final moments against the Netherbrain?

Sitting at a table on the Elfsong’s rooftop, Tav scribbled furiously into her journal, trying to ban all those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings onto the paper. It was no use – she couldn’t stop thinking about him.

But then, she saw it: Looking up from the pages in front of her, her gaze fell on a familiar body just as he turned away and stalked back into the apartment. Enver.

Right – a distant memory of someone briefing her on Enver’s various apartments and hideouts echoed through her mind. That’s where he lived. That’s where he hid. Well. Not for long.

It took her mere moments to hurry back into her room, stashing her journal away and throwing on a light jacket, before leaving the Elfsong to go and confront that smug bastard. Two could play a game… and she was not about to be the one to lose.

Her fist was balled up and strong as it flew against his door. Again. And again. And again.

Tav straightened up when she heard shuffling on the other side. She’d brought him to his knees before, she could do it again. And this time, she wouldn’t let him off the hook that easily.

Enver smacked his head on the shelf in his closet at the rapping at the door. He rubbed the spot on his head and grumbled to himself as he quickly pulled on a pair of pants before walking over the door, his bare feet smacking against the expensive marbled floors.

“Do you even know what time it is–” Enver swung open the door and was face to face with Tav. His anger dissolved immediately as he scanned her face. She was furious and it took everything in him to not fall to his knees once again to beg for her forgiveness. Instead, he silently stepped aside and waved her into his apartment.

Tav pushed him aside as she waltzed in. It wasn’t even necessary. It just felt right.

“Yeah I know what time it is. It’s time for you to explain yourself”, she grumbled as she came to a halt inside and turned to face him, “and quickly.”

She crossed her arms in front of her body and stared at him, genuinely hoping he’d give her some much needed closure.

Enver closed the door behind her and stifled his laugh at her aggressiveness. He realized that now was not the time to tease her for her temper or tell her how he wished to kiss the crease between her eyebrows or better yet how he craved to have her hands wrapped around his throat as he fu–... He shook his head.

“My dear, you found me awfully quickly,” Enver said as he padded his way over to his kitchen and put a kettle on the fire. “And to think this entire time you were right under my nose.”

He looked over his shoulder, Tav unrelentingly angry with her arms still crossed over her chest. Enver walked over to her, hesitating a moment before sliding his hands down her arms and pulling out her hands. He stared down at her soft hands and rubbed his thumbs over her knuckle.

Enver brought one hand up to his lips and pressed a quick kiss onto the back of it. “I did not mean to hurt you. Horatio was acting as me the evening we confronted the Netherbrain. I did not tell him about the dangers he may face by doing so because I thought we were going to win. I thought I… we could have taken control but… I was wrong and I lost my brother.”

He looked up at Tav who seemingly softened just a bit.

“I had to act fast. I had to make it seem like I was dead, truly dead, if I was going to actually survive. I have… a lot of death on my hands and there are people out there that wish to even see Horatio, who is now me, dead as well for being affiliated with the now dead Enver. I couldn’t tell you. I was protecting myself, but I was also protecting you, the hero of Baldur’s Gate.”

Enver swallowed and paused, hoping that his explanation was enough to keep Tav there so he could further explain if she would still be willing to listen. If she could still tolerate him.

“I cannot believe how stupid you are”, Tav shook her head in disbelief. “Not to mention the fact that you should know by now that I am perfectly capable of protecting myself.”

She sighed as she took him in: He looked unsure and lost, and his eyes were silently pleading with her to… stay? She wasn’t sure.

Her anger ebbed away quicker than she’d thought was possible, and instead a small knot formed in the pit of her stomach. He was still cute…

Tav pulled her hands out of his, resulting in his face flinching ever so slightly as he fought to keep his composure. But she wasn’t pulling away from him. She needed her hands free so she could reach for him, fingers interlocking at the back of his neck.

Scoffing with a small smile on her lips, she rolled her eyes. “You really thought nobody would pick up on your innocent brother suddenly attending kinky parties and flirting unabashedly?” She wetted her lips. “Or on you going down on me in a random back alley?”

“I believe it was you that said I’m a cunning and manipulative bastard without a shred of intelligence, so I’m not surprised you caught on so quickly,” Enver joked; his classic smirk flickered across his lips. “I should know by now that I should stop underestimating you.”

Tav pulled her hands away from his and he felt his heart plummet for just a moment before they wrapped around his neck. His shoulders sagged with relief as he pulled Tav against him, his hands resting on her lower back. He sucked in a deep inhale through his nose. Tav’s slightly floral scent tickled his nostrils. He closed his eyes to etch this moment in his mind.

“No one cared for Horatio the way you and I did. Whenever he was my replacement at parties, no one could tell us apart. You may think I’m an idiot, and that may be true, but I’m far more intelligent than nearly all of these nobles,” Enver licked his own lips and slid his hands down a bit farther until he was cupping both of Tav’s cheeks in palms. “I didn’t expect to run into you. I didn’t think you’d go back after losing me and when I saw you…”

Enver tightened his grip around her ass.

“When I saw you I couldn’t help myself… We spent months dancing around each other and I would have risked everything to have you again… I will risk everything— I will do anything to have you back into my life.” Enver slowly backed up until he was pressed against the kitchen counter. He pressed his forehead against Tav’s knowing he was probably moving fast, but he lost himself around her. He wanted to be so much more for Tav. “For months I’ve thought about nothing but how it would feel to touch you and now that I’ve had a taste, I feel a hunger so deep inside of me I fear I will never be satiated.”

He looked so earnest and lost that it surprised her. Yes. They had danced around each other, as he’d called it, for too long. And then he had died, or so she’d thought. Distracting herself with his brother would have been barely more than a temporary fix for the hole his assumed death had left in her heart. Being angry at him… seemed like such a waste of time. Besides, she was already feeling anything but. Quite the contrary.

She ran her fingers through his hair, messing it up as she brought them forwards to his forehead, only to then gently push the strands of hair back again. Tav had wanted to do that forever, ever since they’d met, so she told herself a little bit of self-indulgence would be okay. If he didn’t like it, he didn’t say, Enver’s lips twitching into a small smile instead.

“Okay”, Tav nodded, “I forgive you.” She tried to look more serious than she felt, unwilling to let him off the hook so easily, just on principle. And because it was too much fun not to. “But if you ever do anything like that again, you’re in trouble.” Another thought occurred to her, and she leaned into his touch a little more. “In fact… How do you think you’ll make it up to me?”

Enver leaned into her touch and hummed softly as his hair was pushed away from his face. He chuckled deep within his chest at her threat of him being in trouble the next time he messed up.

“My sweet, Tav. What would you have me do? Do you want me on my hands and knees kissing your feet and begging for your forgiveness?” Enver’s lips gently brushed against Tav’s cheek and jaw. “I already said I’d do anything to have you back in my life. I am yours to command.”

He paused. The awful feeling of vulnerability rose within his chest. It was something he never dared himself to feel when he was leading Baldur’s Gate, but there was something about Tav that made him eager to fall in line like the good soldier he trained everyone else to be. He wanted to be good enough for Tav.

Enver smiled softly and leaned in close to Tav’s ear. “Tell me what you want. Please.”

Tav licked her lips. Okay. If he wanted to play… she could do that. Especially when he was still so smug about it.

“I’m going to leave now”, she began, “but I’ll be back tonight. Just after 8.” She pushed him away from her, creating space, before she walked further into his apartment. Glancing into his bedroom revealed it looked exactly like she imagined it: messy, chaotic, and like a bachelor that spent his time as unhealthily as possible.

“You will clean this up”, she gestured at his room, “You will bathe, and no, I don’t care if you already did so this morning. I’ll better be able to eat from the floor”, she turned towards him, letting her gaze fall down his chest, “or your body.”

She saw him open his mouth but she raised her hand to shush him. “You will leave the door unlocked and you’ll be waiting there”, she pointed to a spot on the floor, “kneeling, naked, and in silence.”

Tav smirked before narrowing her eyes. “And you will do all of that unless you want me to leave again. Because I will. Leave.”

The kettle he’d put on the fire started to whistle. “You better get that”, she shrugged, making her way out of his apartment without waiting for a reply. She was expecting, no, hoping he would oblige. It would make things so much easier… and so much more interesting.

But before any of that, there were some things she’d have to get. For his punishment.

He made a noise of protest. Tav saying she was leaving and taking a step away from him. His eyes tracked her as she moved around the room. He noticed a grimace, a disgusted look at her surroundings. The shambles in which he allowed himself to live. He wanted to look away in shame, but kept watching her.

As she listed her requests Enver took a step closer. The promise of what’s to come brought chills down his spine and he couldn’t help but smile. He opened his mouth to speak, but his words caught in his throat as she raised her hand. He followed her pointed finger to the floor and closed his eyes in bliss at her last request. Kneeling. Naked. Silent. He nodded obediently.

His eyes shot open to the kettle and then back to Tav as she made her departure. Before he could say anything else, she was out the door. He let out a groan and sucked in a deep breath.

He walked over to the kettle and pulled it off of the fire. He had a lot to do and plan for until that evening. He took a quick look around his apartment and before heading to his closet. He pulled on a shirt, a cloak, and a pair of boots then attached a nice belt that did not go with his ragged outfit.

Enver left his apartment and made his way on over to the job board at the center of town. Normally he’d have someone else handle his business for him, but he had been trying to lay low. Should someone find out that a person in the lower district had a staff of people working under them, it would certainly draw attention.

But today, as Horatio, he pulled the notices for work from the board for a maid and a chef and sauntered on over to their homes to offer them a hefty amount of gold to work for him this evening. Once he sent them off to his apartment with the list of requirements, he made a pit stop at a few of the local stores in town. Risking being noticed, he stepped into the finer establishments.

Just as he predicted, there wasn’t anything that gold couldn’t buy him. As soon as he slammed the gold pieces into their greedy palms, they would have believed he was a God himself. They treated Horatio with the respect he deserved and served him even if there was an inkling of doubt of the truth behind his identity. Enver was dead and he did have a brother even if they never saw him much.

As the sun was setting over the harbor, Enver pathetically rushed back to his apartment. It was sparkling clean when he opened the door and a large feast was prepared on his table. Enver dismissed his maid and chef for the evening and placed his new belongings on the bed before stripping himself down.

He grabbed the fancy soaps he allowed himself to be persuaded to buy and set them next to his tub before grabbing the large pots of boiling water and pouring them into the basin. He mixed in cooler water before stepping inside and grabbed the various soaps, scrubbing himself in every single nook and cranny. He dunked his head under the water and dug his fingernails against his scalp. He was thorough and precise. He already disappointed Tav once and he’d do his best to never do it again.

Once every square inch of his body was clean he drained the tub and stepped out. Letting himself air dry, he began putting on the final touches of this evening. He hung up a new beautiful dress for Tav. The embroidery was intricate, expensive, and matched her eyes. Next to it was a selection of jewelry of her choice. He had five different bouquets of flowers since he didn’t know what her favorite type of flower was and finally he had several different wines and meads for her selection.

He wasn’t intending to buy her favor, but he was desperate to impress her.

He ran his hands through his hair, still damp, and pushed the strands out of his face. Once everything was in place, he waltzed over to the exact spot Tav pointed out to him this morning, got onto his knees, bent over, and waited in silence until she arrived.

Tav spent the day resting and gathering the things she needed for that night. After taking a long bath herself (mostly to calm her nerves), she made her way over to Enver’s apartment. It was unlocked, just as requested. Good. But.

Her eyes immediately noticed the stark difference to how the rooms looked like before. Now, everything was sparkling, sorted, filed away; books and notes were sitting in neat piles, and leftover food had been cleaned up. The different flowers she spotted when she strolled in made her laugh, and she had to stifle the sounds in her throat so as to not have him be aware of her amusement. He could be intimidated for a little while longer, she thought.

The way he’d gone all out, bought every food and flowers in existence, and arranged everything so she’d be impressed was absurd. Still, Tav couldn’t help but feel a bit giddy about it all. It was cute, in a way.

When she got to his bedroom, she found him kneeling at the exact spot she’d instructed. He looked good: fresh, obedient, impatient. Exactly how she wanted him. Humming with approval, she didn’t even greet him, instead passing him by as she walked further into the room. Her eyes fell on the dress he’d picked out – beautiful – and the jewelry next to it, but she had other plans. Initially she’d changed into tight black leather pants and a lace body, but seeing him now, naked and without his coat, she got a different idea.

“Stay”, she instructed, “and keep your eyes down.” From the corner of her eye she saw him wet his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he complied.

Tav browsed through his closet until she found exactly what she’d wanted: His coat. Stepping into the bathroom she quickly changed out of her clothes until she was naked, then put on the coat, tightened it with a belt, and nothing else. It felt powerful, and heavy, and was definitely too large for her, but it looked good; especially since her breasts peeked out underneath the devil-decorated lapels.

When she was done she went back inside, rummaged through his things until she found some of the ridiculous gold rings he used to wear, and put two of them on her left hand, leaving her right and dominant hand bare.

Time to make Enver work for his redemption. He was still staring at the floor, as instructed, and she chuckled when she stepped up to him.

“How do you like my outfit?”

Enver flinched when he heard the door open and shut. The sound of Tav’s shoes softly clicked across the marble floors as she took her time taking in the stark contrast of the now clean apartment. His legs shook in pain with his knees still pressed into the floor. It had been more than an hour that they stayed in this position. Tav was either late or Enver had miscalculated the amount of time he had left until her arrival. His knees ached, but he didn’t dare move in case she walked through the door.

It was also unfortunate that, despite his annoyance, his excitement grew more and more in anticipation of seeing Tav again. To hear and see how proud she was of him. He closed his eyes to imagine the scene and felt his cock harden between his legs. He frowned slightly when he heard her laugh. He was too hopeful. Did he forget something? If there was a speck of dust anywhere he would personally strangle the maid with his bare hands for embarrassing him like this in front of his beloved.

Enver tensed up as Tav’s heels tapped their way into the bedroom. She paused only a moment to acknowledge Enver in his place. Enver looked up and pressed his hand into the floor, taking only a single step forward, wincing at the pain in his legs, but he froze in place at Tav’s command.

He licked his lips and opened his mouth to protest, but huffed instead and bent down, lower to the floor. Tav chuckled softly to herself as she rummaged through his things. It didn’t take long before he heard the drag of material against the floor and Tav’s bare feet coming into his view below him.

Enver felt his chin tilted upward by cold, sharp claws and to his amazement he was granted a wonderful view of his beloved wearing his old golden embroidered coat. His jaw opened in awe. Tav looked more beautiful and expensive than anything he could have put her in. He couldn’t help but sit up on the back of his legs and wrap his hands around her thighs, looking up at her, with his cock hard in between his legs, practically panting at her beauty.

“You are more beautiful than the finest carved statue or intricately painted canvas in any museum, my dear,” Enver said as he took her clawed hand and kissed the top of it. She didn’t tell him he could move or touch her, but how could he not when she was dressed up and exposed in his garments. She’s lucky I don’t devour her here and now and show her some self control, he thought, but his cock twitched, betraying his neediness for her.

He looked so pathetic kneeling before her, hard and needy, compliments just tumbling out of this mouth. It was perfect. Tav suppressed a smile before she spoke, not wanting to give him the idea that this would be easy.

“There’s a bag that I dropped in the bathroom”, she began, suddenly remembering that she forgot to carry it over. “Fetch it, bring it here, and then pull out what you think you deserve.”

She wanted to test him. Wanted to see what he’d do. There was a wide collection of things assembled in her bag: A collar, leash, flog, rope, blindfold, riding crop, and a gag. A wooden strap-on and a metal one, both in different sizes. Lube. A salve with… special effects on the human body.

“If you choose well… well. Let’s just say you have a lot of things to make up for.”

Enver exhaled a subtle but shaky breath as he stood tall in front of Tav. He looked down at her and resisted the urge to wrap his hand around her pretty little neck and force her to her knees in front of him for an hour like she did to him. He smirked at her and brought up a hand to brush his thumb across her plump bottom lip. His eyes scanned her face and then down her body. His fingers trailed down her jaw and chest, they grazed over one of her exposed breasts. Tav was stubborn and refused to give him anything outside of a small inhale.

“Of course,” he replied in a low rumble. He stepped past Tav and swiftly walked into the bathroom to grab her bag. It was heavier than he expected. He turned and left the bathroom, tossing the bag haphazardly onto his bed. He crawled to the center of the mattress and opened it up. His jaw clenched at the options he was given.

“Oh, this is rich,” Enver said looking up at Tav with a wild smile. “You already had me on my knees for you. What makes you think you can dole out my punishment as well? I’m not sure you’re strong enough to tame me.”

Enver let out a small laugh. His ego got the best of him, underestimating Tav once again. “Everything I’ve done was out of my free will. How are you going to make me pay for what I’ve done? To make me choose? That sounds like a gift.”

“Scared, little tyrant?” Tav grinned knowingly, already picturing precisely what she’d do to him. “Or why are you stalling?”

He scoffed and dumped the bag out in front of her. “Scared? Of you? Preposterous. Do your worst. I’d like to see you try.”

He was egging her on. He wanted to make her mad and rile her up. His curiosity tickled the back of his mind wondering just how far Tav would take this. Would she actually hurt him? He almost hoped she would.

Tav laughed. He was so stupid.

Two swift steps took her to the bed where her hand found the riding crop almost immediately. Before he could even make out what she was holding she brought it down on his upper thigh with force, leaving a single red mark.

Enver’s eyes widened as Tav quickly grabbed the crop. He wouldn’t dare back down now even as the sharp sting of the toy smacked into his tender flesh. He let out a hiss and clenched his jaw. He chuckled deeply and swallowed. “I said, ‘Do your worst.’”

“You’re talking too much”, she scoffed, walking around the bed so she could reach him better. Standing behind him she brought the crop down on his ass; one, two, three times in leisurely pacing but brutal fashion, and when she heard him suck in more air through his teeth, she chuckled.

“This was always your problem, Enver. You think yourself so smart. So smug. But you don’t dare think two steps ahead.” Her free hand found the back of his head and she yanked him backwards, clenching her fist around the long strands of his hair. Pulling him to her so that his ear was at her mouth, she whispered: “You want me to punish you, but pretend otherwise. You want me to hurt you, but act like you’re above it all. But your only place is down, on your knees, only speaking when asked to, without complaint, without hesitation, doing exactly as I say. Or did you think I’d be distracted so easily by a pretty dress and a fancy meal?”

Enver’s eyes fluttered shut with each smack against his ass. As he curled forward in pain, his head was yanked and held back. His mouth opened in a gasp and panted. He looked at her the best he could on the side of his eyes. Goosebumps rose onto his skin as she crooned into his ear. He licked his lips and smiled as she spoke. His cock involuntarily twitched between his legs.

Enver raised an eyebrow, “You’re asking me a question, am I allowed to speak?” He leaned back against Tav, still smiling. “I didn’t intend to distract you, sweet Tav. Only wanted to remind you where you belong.”

Enver turned his head and licked Tav’s cheek. “Above me.”

He hadn’t finished speaking when she shoved her hand into his mouth, fingers curling down so she could grab his jaw, tightening around his lower teeth and chin. Tav heard him groan involuntarily, but this time, she wasn’t amused, merely annoyed.

“Shut. Up.” She dug her nails into the soft flesh of his mouth until he relented, falling to his knees with a grunt. When Enver was down again, she quickly let go of his mouth, wiping his saliva off her hand on his cheek, before leaning over to the bed where the contents of her bag were lying.

It took her a moment to spot what she was looking for, but when she found it, she quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth in one smooth motion. The ball fit perfectly, and Enver’s heavy breathing let her shove it in without too much resistance. Before he could say another stupid, pathetic word, she pulled the leather straps that were attached to the gag behind his head, fastening them so tightly she was sure he wouldn’t be able to free himself of it accidentally.

When she was done, she sat down on the bed, legs hanging over the edge, and looked at him. “Better, I think”, she smirked. “Now. Do we understand each other?”

Enver winced as he was once again brought down to his knees. A groan escaped his lips as Tav’s nails dug into his mouth and jaw. He closed his eyes a moment and grimaced as his own spit was wiped against his cheek, and huffed in a deep breath before making a muffled whimper against the ball gag as it was shoved into his mouth. He couldn’t help the smirk that teased the corners of his mouth as it was tightened against his face. Enver looked up at Tav as he settled in between her legs and nodded slowly, unable to have a snarky response. He rested his head on her thigh and exhaled through his nose, trying to calm his breathing.

But actions were worth more than a thousand words. His hands trailed up her leg, pushing aside his old embroidered jacket to expose her more to the chilled air within the room. With such a prize in between her legs, he regretted his actions momentarily as he was not able to bury his face against her flesh and taste her once more.

“Oh no”, Tav scolded him as she felt his hands creep up her legs. “You sit back, on the floor. And touch yourself.”

She waited for him to react, but when he looked at her in confusion, she grinned. “And don’t you dare finish before I allow you to.”

Enver sat back on his legs and looked up at Tav, then back down in between her legs at the slick wetness teasing him. He waggled his fingers at Tav as he dry grabbed his own cock with his other hand, dramatically pulling his skin, wincing at the rough hand stroking his shaft. He silently begged Tav for something to ease this simple pain as he glanced back and forth from her face to her cunt.

She counted to thirty in her head, waiting for him to practically wince until she let the corners of her mouth twitch upwards in recognition. “Oh? Speechless, are we?”, she mocked him, enjoying the moment almost a little too much.

Tav saw his eyes narrow in response, a silent glare, a quiet protest, but there was also pleading mixed into his gaze. “Put your hands behind your back”, she instructed and waited for him to obey. When she saw his hands lock behind him, she stood up, then lowered herself on his lap, guiding his cock into her without any preparation.

She didn’t need any. She’d been turned on plenty enough.

Tav saw Enver’s eyes widen, but if he wanted to say something it was useless, the gag still shutting him up. She rolled her hips into him and lifted herself so only his tip was pushing against her entrance, then sank down on him again until he was buried inside her. Repeating that two more times, she sighed when she stopped, propping herself up to sit back on the bed.

“There”, she said with a shaky breath, “I think this should be enough.”

He continued to dry stroke himself. He let out a frustrated groan and looked up at Tav, pleading for some sort of lubricant. It was already torture enough that he wasn’t allowed to come. But then Tav rolled her eyes at the whiny mess he felt he was and demanded to put his arms behind his back.

He immediately obliged, confused. He would have just used his fingers on her, but no, Tav had another idea in mind. His eyes widened as she slowly dropped herself onto his lap and lined up his cock against her entrance. Praise the Gods, Enver thought as she sunk down until she was flush against his thighs. Enver moaned and resisted the urge to hold her down and fuck into her until she was begging for release. But that’s what Tav wanted from him. To beg. To be pushed to the edge.

Enver had been hard the second Tav walked into his apartment and the few moments in which he was inside of her could have easily sent him over the edge. He bit down on the ball gag and moaned softly from the back of his throat. Just as soon she was on top of him, she removed herself and leaned back onto the bed. Enver looked down at his now glistening cock, covered in her juices and removed his hands from his back. He started slowly. His large, thick fingers wrapped tightly around his shaft and pumped up and down his sensitive head and length.

He glanced up at Tav as he touched himself. His other hand wrapped itself around his balls as though making a makeshift cock ring to prevent himself from spilling too soon. A small glob of pre-come dribbled from his slit as he stroked himself. His eyes grew heavy and hazy as he felt himself getting closer and closer. He wanted it so bad. To make a mess all over this floor. To disobey Tav and make her watch him pathetically come just by looking at her. But his desire to please Tav was far stronger. He felt himself edging the precipice of release and he let go of his cock with a whimper, panting heavily as the urge receded.

He tilted his head to the side, awaiting Tav’s next orders. Perhaps she would make him do this again? He groaned at the thought.

“Hmmm”, Tav hummed when she saw him stroke himself towards the edge. Enver looked needy and miserable, but not enough. Far from enough.

Leaning backwards onto her forearms she realized that he had a prime view, kneeling in front of the bed. If she spread her legs… He’d be able to watch. He’d be forced to watch.

She turned to find the wooden cock amongst her things, and while she was looking for it she also grabbed the lube, throwing it to Enver. “Here”, she said, “don’t think you’ll get to enjoy me this close again.” When she saw the short moment of confusion on his face, she chuckled. “Oh did you think you were done?”

Leaning back, she propped her legs up on the edge of the bed, exposing herself to him so he’d get a good view. Then, she slid the dildo to her entrance, gathering slick, before playfully smearing it all over her folds. She wanted him to see what he was missing. What he had made himself miss out on.

At least for now.

When she heard his breathing pick up enough to satisfy her, she started to work the wood into her cunt, pushing in and out; slowly at first, but settling on a quicker rhythm once she found a pace that worked. “Start over”, she breathed between the pants that had started to form on her lips. “Don’t come. And don’t you dare take your eyes off off me.”

Trusting he’d do as he was told she fucked herself with the fake cock until her hips started grinding against her hand on their own, her body eager to meet the thrusts of her hand. In passing she noticed she’d started moaning, and the idea of Enver watching her masturbate in front of him without being allowed to touch her, speak, or come made her heart beat out of her chest.

She paused for a brief moment, lifting her chest and head just enough so she could see him watch her, and she fucked herself over the edge as he still kneeled before her, stroking himself with a pained and longing expression. Tav came with a long moan, and she sobbed out a “Good boy” along to the after waves of her orgasm.

Wu Xie is a police detective who likes to act first and think later.

Zhang Qiling is the head of the Zhangs, the oldest and most powerful organised crime family in Changsha.

When strangers scurrying deep within the shadows of their city threaten the delicate balance of power that has maintained peace between the nine most powerful families of Changsha, the two must work together to find answers...while protecting secrets of their own.

Snippet:

Wu Xie’s eyes burned, heavy and gritty after a night of no rest. He rubbed them viciously, pushing his glasses up onto his forehead and catching his reflection on his phone’s screen where it sat next to him. Dark shadows circled under his eyes, red-rimmed and as dark as if he had smudged his face with ink, and his hair, although usually a degree of untamable, resembled a bird’s nest. The flat, pale light of the office made it impossible to track the time, but from the commotion of voices and vehicles drifting through the windows behind him, Wu Xie assumed it was the morning rush hour. His back ached after uncounted hours in his chair, and Wu Xie envied his college self, able to pull all-nighters without blinking. Half a dozen coffee mugs had been piled precariously on the back corner of his desk, and his laptop flashed its low battery warning. “Did you even go home last night?” The familiar voice dragged Wu Xie’s lethargic attention from the glare of his screen, and he looked up. Wang Meng stood at his own desk, hanging his jacket over his chair as he craned to see over the divider that separated them. Wu Xie shook his head, tossing his glasses onto his keyboard in a clatter of wire and plastic and rubbing his face. “No. I needed to search the arrest files.” Wang Meng circled their desks, joining Wu Xie and looking at his screen and the notebook lying next to it. Three case IDs had been scrawled on the most recent page, the already unreadable handwriting degrading with each one until they resembled nothing less than a thicket of ink. He sighed, shaking his head. “I’ll bring you more coffee.” Wu Xie grunted his thanks, and Wang Meng vanished. Picking up his discarded glasses and settling them back on his nose, Wu Xie returned to his search. There had been thousands of arrests in the records, and not even keyword searching had narrowed it down much. A surprising number of criminals had referred to themselves as a phoenix of some description over the years. The sheer hubris had been amusing, at least. A fresh mug of coffee appeared next to him, and Wu Xie offered a grateful smile as Wang Meng sat across from him, sipping his own steaming cup. “I heard your serial killer struck again,” Wu Xie said as he hunted for the cable to his laptop. Wang Meng groaned. “Don’t remind me. This is the fourth murder that we know of, and we found nothing at the scene again. This killer’s a phantom.” Wu Xie paused in his search, sitting up to look at the man across from him. “Fourth murder ‘ that you know of?’ ”
