Chapter 1: Introduction
Larry Lowery lived on Ryker’s Rock, a far-flung asteroid nestled deep in the cold, uncharted wasteland between Neptune and Pluto. It was a massive chunk of crud - a gray metallic moonlet covered in a blanket of dust, and pockmarked with craters. At this distance from the sun, it was little more than a god-forsaken hunk of ice and rock. The asteroid followed a lonely elliptical orbit around the sun, dusted by meteors and dust storms.
The barren surface was desolate and alien, without the slightest trace of life. The black void stretched out endlessly in every direction.
It was here that Larry eked out his meager existence, alone, but for the bi-monthly visits from the crew of the Mercury-7.
A nondescript, weathered wooden crate, that felt strangely out of place on this lifeless hunk of rock. Larry wondered what surprise it could hold. He pried open the container with his multi-tool and was shocked to find it filled with erotic toys and bondage gear.
Larry was speechless for a moment, his heated breath steaming up his visor as he stared wide-eyed at the contents. Then, he let out a low whistle, running his fingers over the assortment of dildos, restraints, and whips.
His pulse quickened at the sight of something new, something he hadn't laid his hands on in over a decade. He began to plan, a heated thrill creeping up his spine as he indulged in the tantalizing fantasy of a long-awaited fuck.
His cock throbbed at the sight of a thick, veiny dildo, its tip glistening with lubricant. His mind raced with possibility. The combined weight of the isolation, his unsatiated desire, and the deafening silence of the asteroid made his heart pound, his breath heavy in his chest.
