Happy Middle of the week to you all. I thought I would bring you a tease from my upcoming release Taken by her Alien Warriors, which is set to release June 24th. You might have heard me squeal on Monday when I got my cover. I still find myself staring at it.
*grins*
Some time ago, I shared the beginning of this story, when it was still a WIP and intended for something else. That path didn't work out, and as the story evolved, and changed, I realized I have a series on my hands.
Book two is almost completed and I have semi firm plans for book three and four. It seems my muse has utterly fallen in love with these warriors, and I hope readers will too.
So without further ado, here's this week's tease. Zorran has just left Gemini with his Drakan lover...
What
was wrong with her today? She loved Zorran, and, yet, she sat here lusting
after a man she barely knew, and a gay man at that. Only he wasn’t gay, was he?
He’d fathered little Magnuss after all, and there was no doubt that she aroused
him. The hard ridge straining the fabric of his tunic looked huge, and once he
sobered, the intensity of his azure gaze pinned her in place as though he’d
bound her to the chair. And that really shouldn’t turn her on more.
“Oh,
you will sleep with me, starting tonight, in fact.”
She
shook her head, and his gaze burnt hotter at her denial.
“I
won’t … please …. I can’t. I don’t know you. I’m …I’ve never done this before.”
Heat
burned her cheeks at her halting admission, but she couldn’t tear her eyes away
from the intensity of his gaze either. He’d gone so still, she couldn’t be sure
he was even breathing.
“There’s
a first time for everything, my sweet.” The endearment rolled off his tongue,
and she blinked when he hooked one foot around the leg of her chair and scooted
it closer to him until their knees were touching. He gripped the back of her
chair either side of her shoulders, and smiled when she pressed back as far as
she could, which wasn’t very far at all. She was trapped and the thought of
being at this Drakan’s mercy made her breathing speed up.
“I
knew he hadn’t touched you. I can smell your innocence.” Her throat went dry as
his gaze dropped to her lips, and she resisted the urge to run her tongue over
the soft flesh to moisten them. He dipped his head and inhaled deeply against
her neck, and a shudder went through her as he scraped his fangs along her
rapidly beating pulse point. He took her hand and held it against his groin. A
groan trembled through him when she instinctively curled her fingers around his
hot, pulsing length.
“And
it makes me rock hard for you. I want nothing more than to sink this cock hilt-deep
into your sweet little virgin pussy, until you scream my name while you’re
gushing around my dick.” Ornack pulled back enough to study her, and a shiver
went down her spine. He meant every word he said, and her body responded to the
carnal desire in his deep voice with a hot rush of liquid between her thighs.
His nostrils flared and his horns seemed to grow in front of her eyes, as
though they had a mind of their own. Ornack’s low growl forced her to tear her
gaze away from that particular part of his body. Magnuss’s had been soft like warm
butter under her chin, she remembered that now. She couldn’t help but wonder
what his would feel like, but she daren’t move to touch them. He seemed too on
the edge as it was, and she got the distinct impression that touching his horns
would only result in one thing. Her being bent over the table and fucked so
hard she wouldn’t be able to walk tomorrow. A whimper escaped her at the
thought, and his knowing grin mocked her.
“And
you’d let me do just that, wouldn’t you, sweet thing. I can smell how wet you
are for me. If I ran my hand under your skirt, it would be soaked with your
essence, and you would beg me to take you, wouldn’t you?”
She
shook her head and winced when he grasped her hair and pulled her head back.
With his large hand wrapped in her long tresses, she couldn’t move. As it was,
her scalp stung with the force he used and her useless body responded with a
heated wave of arousal that left her breathless and needy.
“Answer
me.” His voice dropped further, and the low, deadly command behind those two
words gave her no choice but to respond.
“Yes.”
“Yes,
what?”
Confused,
she looked up at him, and his harsh expression softened.
“Yes,
what would you let me do?” he asked.
“Yes,
I’d let you fuck me.” She whispered the words. Shame and arousal warred inside
of her in equal measures. Shame that she acted like the wanton hussy she had
been trained to be, and yet she couldn’t help but respond to this man. She
wanted to sink to her knees to do his bidding, to lose herself in the knowledge
that she was at his mercy, to know that she would please him with her body and
her actions. Not because he ordered her to, but because she wanted to. That
deeply submissive part buried in her psyche blossomed under the dominance he
exerted with the tone of his voice alone.
“And
therein lies the problem,” he said.
She
blinked when he let her go and got up so abruptly that his chair clattered to
the floor with a loud bang. It seemed to echo around the still room, and she
stared up at him in shock.
What
the hell had just happened there?
“Problem?”
she asked, and he held out a hand to her and nodded. Without thinking she placed
hers in his, and he pulled her to her feet.
“Yes,
problem,” he said. “If I just wanted a fuck, there are any number of willing
bodies I could use, but I want more than that.” He paused and used his free
hand to tip her chin up. She couldn’t have looked away from him if she wanted
to, too caught up in the maelstrom of emotions swirling in his blue eyes. They
truly were the windows to one’s soul. Her mum had always said so, but
surrounded by the black-eyed, seeming emotionless Cirrions, Gemini had
forgotten that little saying. This Drakan, however, made no attempt to hide his
emotions, and the room spun as she struggled to breathe.
“I
want it all, Gemini. I want a mate. I want my
mate, and I want her to come to me of her own free will. I don’t want a simple
fuck toy. I want a mother for my son, and a mate to stand by me, not because
she has no choice, but, because she needs me as much as I need her. I realize
this will go against anything you’ll have been taught on Cirrion, but here, on
Drakan and as my wife, you’ll be my equal in all things bar the bedroom. Do you
understand what I’m saying here, Gemini?”
Did
she? Her befuddled brain could hardly make sense of anything anymore.
Exhaustion pulled her under, mentally and physically, as all the events of the
day crashed over her.
“You
don’t want me either,” she said, and she hated how small and pathetic her voice
sounded.
His growl in answer shook the room, and her
pussy clenched in desperate need at the animalistic sound, rumbling from his
huge chest.
“I’m going to kill that ass of a Cirrion when he
gets his butt back here, for making you doubt yourself like that.”
The men of any species have needs…
Gemini Hudson has grown up, knowing the truth behind those words, but what happens when those needs pitch lovers against each other in a war torn galaxy?
Cirrion Warrior Zorran rescued a nine year old Gemini in a rare show of compassion. Twelve years later his slave has grown into a beautiful young woman which he feels inexorably drawn to. However, she is only human and too fragile for his dark desires. Desires he is certain he can only share with one man—his Drakan lover Ornack.
With Drakan at war with Cirrion the men's relationship seems doomed to failure. Giving Gemini to Ornack will fulfil their emotional needs in a way Zorran can't.
From the minute he sees her, Lord Ornack knows this female is the one woman who can complete their circle, because she loves Zorran as much as he does.
There's only one solution. Claim both his mates and damn the consequences.
