Fic Index: Jack Series (complete)

Summary: Rich, infamous, hedonistic and dominant, Tiran Marx openly maintains a harem of submissives. By turns benevolent and ruthless, Tiran doesn’t have the patience to keep a tight rein on his subs. So he hires his friend, the proud, brittle, sometimes brutal disciplinarian, Jack Obernikoch, who takes charge with extreme prejudice. Set one or two generations the future, in a world where social norms have evolved slightly but human emotions are as confused as ever.

Content notes: NC-17. Dominance/submission. Violence, explicit and implied. Sex, usually implied. Humiliation, multiple partners.
