While hunting raiders, Duncan Shea and other members of the New Black Watch run into a deadly ambush. Injured and alone, Duncan stumbles across a grounded shuttle carrying an Alphan warrior named Taric and a mysterious Xyran named Zhan. The handsome aliens agree to help Duncan, but he quickly learns they also have a plan of their own -- to claim him as their mate.

Forced to hide their bond from their respective governments, Taric and Zhan never expect to find their third bondmate while on an unauthorized mission to stop a vicious Xyran slave master.

EXCERPT

Duncan stepped back as the airlock hatch rose, revealing a huge golden Alphan warrior in a black uniform. A brief memory flickered across his mind, an afternoon with a tall, broadly built watchman who had tumbled him laughing into a bed of leaves before fucking him senseless. The sex had left him with a distinct appreciation for men built on the alien’s scale.

“Greetings, human,” the Alphan said, golden eyes staring at him curiously. “Are you in need of aid?”

The low, rumbling voice knocked him out of the memory. “Uh, yeah. I mean, yessir,” Duncan said, wondering if he should salute or what. “Name’s Duncan Shea. I’m with the New Black Watch.” He showed his right arm, where a band of green and blue tartan had been clumsily sewn. At the alien’s puzzled look he added, “It’s a guard unit. We were tracking some thieves when we got ambushed about five klicks from here.”

The alien glanced at the woods behind him. “You are alone?”

Duncan grimaced. “My men are dead. Bastards planted some kind of mine in the woods.” Like an alien’s gonna know what a mine is. “You step on it, it blows up,” he clarified. “You heard anything about that, sir?”

The Alphan’s eyebrows rose. “About … mines?”

“Or thieves, sir. Local ones.”

The alien shook his head. “I know nothing about local criminals, Watchman Shea. Nor do I know anything about human explosive devices.”

Duncan sagged. Even if the Alphan was lying, there was no way he could prove it. And forcing his way on board an alien ship, even if it wasn’t hiding outlaws on board, was suicide. “All right, thank you.” With a weary tip of his hat, he turned to go.

“Wait,” the alien ordered. “You were injured in this explosion.”

It was a statement, not a question. Duncan shrugged, then winced as his cold, tight muscles cramped with the motion. “Got banged up a little, yeah.”

This time the Alphan glanced up at the gunmetal sky and the cold rain pouring down. “This weather is not safe or healthy for an injured human. Board my ship and I shall assist you.”

It was Duncan’s turn to raise his eyebrows. “‘Scuse me?”

“Did I use your language incorrectly?” The Alphan switched to a loud, slow tone. “Board … my … ship … and—”

Duncan shook his head. “I got that. I meant, why are you gonna help me?”

The alien smiled. It made his craggy, handsome face more human, somehow. “My race signed a treaty with yours to offer assistance when and where we could. As such, it is my duty as an Alphan warrior to assist an injured human warrior.”

“Oh.” That did line up with what he’d heard about the gold aliens and their sense of honor. “Well, sir, in the case, I’d be pleased to get out of the rain for a spell.”

The Alphan stepped back, and Duncan climbed into the airlock, pulling off his hat and swallowing a moan as the warm air hit his cold, wet skin. “Oh, that feels good.”

“I imagine it does.” The Alphan towered over him by a good six inches, and a pair of pointed black horns on his forehead added another inch of height. Duncan couldn’t help checking out the thickly muscled body straining the seams of its uniform. While he was in good shape, he suspected that the Alphan could crush him like a bug.

Or throw you down and fuck you silly, part of his mind suggested.

He shivered pleasantly at the thought. “Um, do you—”

“What a sodden creature,” another voice said sourly. “Do we let it drip dry, or do we wring it out?”

BIO

Nicola Cameron is an expatriate Chicagoan who has lived in England, Canada, Holland, and Sweden, and keeps a confusing amalgamation of languages in her head as a result. Currently located in the clavicle of Texas, she has finally mastered the proper use of "y'all," much to her Chicago family's dismay.

Despite a healthy interest in sex since puberty, it wasn't until 2012 that Nicola decided to try writing about it. As it turned out, the skills she picked up during her SF writing career transferred rather nicely to erotic romance. When not writing, she wrangles cats, smooches her husband, makes dolls of dubious and questionable identity, and thanks almighty Cthulhu that she doesn’t have to work for a major telecommunications company any more (because there’s BDSM, and then there’s just plain torture...).

Spotlight on Unexpected by @JJLore1 #newrelease @evernightpub #scifi #mfm

I do love a good sci-fi tale and Evernight Publishing's Planet Alpha series certainly fits the bill. I have the newest instalment in my Spotlight today.

Check out Unexpected!

Blurb:
As two Alphan warriors on the fast track to promotion and improved status, Mikel and Felix of the Tauride have their future planned out. They intend to go from performing security duties for the Prince while he visits Earth to eventually earning the right to seek out their human mate and rescue her in some dramatic way, impressing her and earning her love. But a chance encounter with a lovely young woman sends them both down a markedly different path.

Shy Alisa Sorrel merely wanted to see a rose garden, then retreat back to her safe and sequestered life in the Women’s Refuge on Earth, but once she encounters two earnest and determined Alphan officers, she’s forced out of her shell and into a whole new world of passion.

Even as the bonds they share tighten and satisfy needs they’d never imagined, Alisa, Felix, and Mikel are soon faced with danger and betrayal from the machinations of humans and Alphans alike. The Alphans will have the chance to rescue their fair damsel after all, but will they make it in time?


Excerpt:

Felix looked down at her and watched her eyelashes flutter as she stared at the door, her body trembling slightly. A faint drift of her scent trickled into his nostrils, and he sucked it in, the primal urge to learn her signs compelling him to sniff, stare, touch, and taste the woman who would be bound to him and Mikel. Desire filled him, strong and hot like a blazing fire, and he wrapped his arm around her body, pulling her tighter because he couldn’t stop himself. She tensed and turned her head to gaze up at him. He knew he should release her, not frighten her any more than she already had to be, but before he could move, Alisa let out a little sigh as she closed her eyes and leaned her head against his shoulder.

He stiffened with shock, but his body took over before his mind could catch up as he held her tight, stroking her shining brown hair like he’d wanted to since he’d first seen her. The sensations of her full breasts and round thighs sliding against him heated his blood and made his staff throb and harden. Twin pangs of pain echoed from the roof of his mouth as his tesak budded. This primitive response to her presence was the last bit of encouragement he needed. She was meant for them, like no other woman ever would be. She wriggled against him and slid her hands along his back muscles like she gained some comfort from the movement. He desperately wished there were no garments separating their skin. Lowering his head toward hers, he dared press his lips to the warm, smooth skin of her temple as fragrant wisps of her hair tickled his nose.

With a sudden inhalation, Alisa drew back and stared into his eyes. Felix froze. Her mouth opened slightly as if she was going to say something, but instead of speaking, she merely tightened her grip on his shoulders. She wasn’t rejecting him. With that realization, heat flooded through his body, anticipation of bonding with her in all things gave him the courage to cup her cheek and lean close. He waited a beat for her to show any sign of hesitation, but all she did was close her eyes.

At the first brush of her lips, his tesak burst out, his body’s primal signal to capture her essence both a pleasure and pain. He’d kissed a few other human women, but all past experience was swept from his mind as he tasted Alisa. Her sweet, warm mouth opened under his as she shuddered against him. Licking at her, he buried his fingers in her hair. Her full lips caught at him, the soft friction driving him to press his tongue against hers. She quivered, and he stiffened, his instincts shouting for him to rip her clothes from her body, to lower her to the floor and press his aching staff deep inside her luscious quonum.

A strong grip on his arm brought him out of the intense caress, and he stared for a moment at Alisa as she gasped in his arms, her head lolling against his shoulder. Another squeeze on his arm broke the trance, and he turned to see Mikel frowning at him.

“You were growling loud enough to draw attention,” his bondmate spoke in a low voice with a glance at the door. Felix glimpsed the curve of Mikel’s own tesak, and he rejoiced. Alisa was theirs, but not if they were discovered and exiled from Earth as punishment. Chagrined, Felix tried to collect himself. He’d been so overcome by her he’d forgotten the peril of their situation. Mikel glanced down at Alisa, and his gaze softened. She blinked up at them, a bright pink blush blooming in her cheeks. Their beauty, soon to be claimed.

#MWTease from Planet Alpha WIP #mmf

Happy Hump Day, folks. I'm doing a little happy dance, because I've finished my Planet Alpha WIP, and once I get it back from my chief 'reditor', the awesome Raven McAllan it should be ready for submission.

Well, once I've fixed what she's pulled apart that is, cause she's a hard task master.

*grins*

This is a mmf Sci-Fi menage and I shall tease you with a little hot mm action. Please excuse any mistakes.

*****

"Let's take this somewhere more private, Zorran."

Ornack was all too aware of the heat of Zorran's body behind him. The way his hot gaze burned across his skin. By the time they reached the safety of his bedchamber, and he'd pulled the heavy lock across, he was hard enough to pound concrete.

Rough hands on his shoulders yanked him around, and then Zorran, back in his Xyran form, slammed him against the wall. Zorran's claws ran along his chest, and their teeth clashed in their haste to kiss, to devour each other in the effort to assuage the need flaring between them. A need, made ten times more potent by the female's residual scent still clinging to Zorran.

Ornack fisted his hands in his lover's hair, and deepened the kiss, as Zorran undid the heavy belt holding up his leggings and freed his rock hard cock.

Ornack threw his head back and hissed in pleasure. The firm hot fist closing around his dick was sweet torture, as was Zorran sucking one of his horns as though it was an ice cream cone.

"Fuck, stop this now. I want to spill inside your ass, Zorran."

Zorran grunted his agreement and yanked his clothes off with more haste than finesse. Together they tumbled across the room until they fell onto the fur covered bedstead dominating Ornack's chambers. Cocks grinding against each other, they left no part of each other untouched as they explored each other's bodies.

"It's been too fucking long, Zorran."

Ornack grunted the words, his mouth going dry with anticipation as Zorran grabbed the oil used for lighting the lanterns, and presented his ass.

"Stop talking and fuck me, Ornack."

His black eyes blazed with swirls of fire, and he ground his magnificent cock into the fur covering of Ornack's bed. His entire body taught with fierce need, it was covered in the fine sheen of perspiration. Like he had done countless times before Ornack slathered his cock and Zorran's clenching ass hole in generous amounts of oil, and then surged deep inside his lover's forbidden hole.

Zorran bucked back against him with enough force to shake the bed, as he pushed himself into the covers seeking his own release, while Ornack thrust into the tight confines of his ass. Zorrans's unique male scent mixed in with the sweet female musk left over on his skin, and it sent Ornack wild. His fangs descended further and he sunk his teeth into Zorran's shoulder. His bite sent the other man frantic, and he spilled his seed deep inside his lover's ass.

Zorran roared, and growled, and flung Ornack off him until he was on top. His rigid erection pressed against the skin between Ornack's balls and his ass. It left a wet stain behind, and Ornack lifted his ass and grasping his lover's dick aligned it with his anus. Zorran thrust into him in a blinding move of pain filled pleasure that prolonged the just dying embers of Ornack's receding orgasm. Two pumps inside his ass were all it took for Zorran, too, to reach his fulfilment. The Xyran collapsed on top of him with a strangled groan that turned into a deep rumble when Ornack licked the bite on Zorran's shoulder.

"One day, you'll bite me back, and complete our bond, Xyran."

Zorran snorted into Ornack's damp shoulder and Ornack groaned at the sensation of Zorran's fangs grating along his neck.

"In your dreams, Alphan."             

His softening cock slipped out Ornack's ass, and Zorran rolled off him. Panting they lay next to each other until they could catch their breath.

"You smell of her."

Zorran tensed next to him and avoided his gaze, when Ornack propped himself up on his elbow to better see his lover's face.

"And you know she's in love with you, right?"

"Bull shit."

Zorran jumped off the bed and Ornack allowed his gaze to roam freely over the body of the man he loved. There wasn't an ounce of fat on the Xyran's body, just smooth skin that covered muscles honed by years of fighting, and crossed with scars that spoke their own story. The one across the Xyran's cheek, disfiguring his otherwise perfect features, Ornack loved most of all. It's how they'd met after all. Zorran had protected a bunch of Alphan children from being slaughtered by a crazed Xyran, who'd turned on his comrade and sliced his face and chest open, as Zorran had shielded Ornack's son with his own body.

The Xyrans attack had been defeated, and as a thank you for saving his child's life Ornack had given the gravely wounded Xyran shelter and nursed him back to health. The attraction that had sprung up between them had been as unwelcome as it had been unexpected.

Ornack had long since accepted his feelings for the huge Xyran, and one day soon he would get the big lout to admit to his softer side.

#MWTease Planet Alpha WIP

We're halfway through the week again, so it's time for the Mid Week Tease. As ever, thank you to Sandra Bunino for this meme.

I'm going to tease you with something new today. My muse can never resist a submission call, and from the minute I read about Evernight's Planet Alpha series, I knew I had to write a story for it. So without further ado I give you the start of my story.

This is completely unedited and subject to change.

It always started the same. The distant rumble of thunder, the gale force winds that shook the ramshackle building they called home. If you could call her mother's place of employment home, that was. Still, the brothel in the worst part of this human settlement left on a dwindling earth was the only home Gemini had ever known. As her beloved mum frequently told her nine year old self, the male species of any race had needs, and they would take what they wanted, so why not make them pay for it.

There were plenty that simply took, and from the minute Gemini could hold a hunting knife and then the old fashioned revolver that used to be her father's, her mother had taught her how to use them to defend herself.

Theirs was a life lived on the edge, always waiting for the next land slide, the next earthquake to force their settlement to move again, or heaven forbid, a raid by either the Alphans or the Xyrans.

Gemini's instructions were clear. Find somewhere to hide and do not come out no matter what happens. As the earth shook and female screams filled the air, a half asleep Gemini hid under the bed. This wasn't just the earth's crusts realigning. A fierce battle raged outside, and judging by the guttural shouts of men, the heavy stomp of boots, and the giant shadows falling across her hiding place as the front of the building lifted away, one the settlement had lost.

Gemini lost the grip on the ancient revolver, as a creature jumped into her room.

Eyes the color of coal set in a face that seemed to blend into the air around it, as the humanoid lifted the bed, and he grinned down on her. Stood at almost the height of the ceiling, the Xyran inhaled deeply and Gemini shrieked when he grabbed her by the back of her night dress and lifted her up into the air. He laughed at her attempts to kick him, and Gemini grit her teeth and clutched the hilt of the knife, hidden in the folds of her night dress. The Xyran held her too far away from him to do any serious damage with her blade, and he shook her as Gemini might have done a beetle.

Bile rose in her throat and she screamed when his forked tongue licked her cheek.

"No, leave her alone, you bastard. She's just a child."

Her mother's shout drowned out Gemini's screaming, as the woman jumped on the Xyran's back. The glint of her knife was followed by the Xyran's roar of pain, and he dropped Gemini on the stone floor. Winded, she watched in horror as her mum's now lifeless body flew through the air, hit the opposite wall with a thickening thud, and slid to the floor.

Gemini screamed and dug her knife into the muscled thigh in front of her.

"You little bitch."

Rough hands grabbed her and the world went black as the ground shook anew.

Gem woke up panting for breath, a scream stuck in the back of her throat.   The nightmare reliving the night of her abduction had been too real.

 The ship lurched again as it hit the planet's atmosphere, and pitched her naked body against Zorran. He grunted in his sleep and flung one muscled arm over his forehead. Even in his sleep her Xyran owner, and the sole reason she hadn't been killed on that fateful night so long ago, looked coiled for action.  Her breathing slowed and her panic subsided like it always did in his presence. In his sleep, his skin had taken on the shade of the blue sheets, and Gem suppressed a giggle. He looked like an overgrown Smurf. One of her most treasured childhood possessions had been a dog eared book of the Smurfs, that her mum used to read from at bedtime. The memories quickly chased that blip of happiness away, and Gemini swiped the tears off her face.

Tears never helped anyone, let alone on Xyran. Seen as a weakness, they would only serve to increase any punishment due to her. On arriving at Xyran, Gemini had learnt very quickly to keep her emotions hidden—to never show joy or sadness. Either one would mean a beating from the woman Zorran had appointed to look after her.  The old crone was always careful to not hit where the bruises showed. Nonetheless, Zorran's infrequent visits had been the highlight of Gemini's stay on his home planet. As ridiculous as the notion was she felt safe with him, especially once she'd developed curves. The old crone's beatings had stopped then—one couldn't damage the merchandise after all—but torture of a different kind had started.

Gemini was physically still a virgin, but thanks to modern technology, she had been versed in all the arts of sexual seduction. A trained slave she would fetch a high prize on the open market.

Zorran had shown one of his rare bouts of emotions when he had found out. The old crone had vanished from sight, and Gemini suppressed a shiver at Zorran's remembered fury. He never did explain what happened to her, but Gemini had heard the rumors. One simply did not cross Zorran. It was never conducive to one's health, and it was the main reason they were even now hurtling through space.

Zorran had been afforded a special commendation from the ruling council for some feat in his war against the Alphans. Gemini wasn't privy to the particulars, and she really hadn't cared to know them. As his property she was expected to simply sit naked by his feet, and cater to his every whim. The other Xyrans had made her skin crawl, and she'd been only too glad to curl into Zorran's thickly muscled legs, close her eyes and pretend she was somewhere else.

More than once, Zorran had been offered an outrageous sum for her, and every time, Zorran's hold on her had tightened and he'd growled at the bidder.

"Mine, not for sale."

The way he said mine sent a shiver of need down her spine and a rush of moisture between her thighs, yet he had yet to touch her. Gemini sat up to study him. Safe in the knowledge that he was still fast asleep she let her gaze travel over his naked body.

As though he sensed her quiet perusal his skin color changed until it looked as though he was a deeply tanned human. However that's where the comparison to her own kind ended. His shoulder length white blond hair hung dead straight and framed an angular jaw that never needed shaving. Apart from his hair his body was entirely hairless and corded with thick muscle, that bunched and released in his sleep, as he moved his hand.

A whimper of feminine appreciation left Gemini when he used his large hand to grasp his cock. It hardened under his calloused fingers, and a drop of pre-cum appeared in the slit of his thick mushroom shaped head.

The air grew heavy with his spicy musk and Gemini used her own fingers to part her slick pussy lips and stroked herself in time to his hand on his dick.

Zorran grunted and mumbled in his sleep. Words that Gemini didn't catch, spoken as they were in his mother tongue, but her body reacted to the urgent need behind those words anyway. The movement of his hand grew faster, violent, almost, and his heavy balls drew tight up to his body, telling her close he was to his release. Gemini too rubbed faster and pumped the fingers of her free hand in and out of her desperately clenching cunt as she hurtled toward her orgasm.

****

As you might have guessed Zorran is a bit of an anti hero. He will admit to his feelings only kicking, screaming and grumbling, not least because he is in the process of taking her to his male, Alphan lover.

*grins*

Oh yes, I'm intending on having fun with this story.
