She savored these last moments of happiness, of companionship, knowing they wouldn’t last. The sun’s rays trickled through the gap in their makeshift fortifications, lighting the small space. Murad’s leg coverings were folded neatly in a corner, having been cleaned in the stream and dried in the ...
She didn’t know where they were going or if she’d have the supplies to uncover a cure. Yet she wasn’t concerned. Stopping this outbreak was her destiny. A part of her also trusted the cyborg. Physically, she wanted him more than she’d ever wanted any other male. Her pussy was wet. Her nipples wer...
the ship relayed, the coolness in its programmed voice contrasting vividly with Zeta’s joy, her vessel now repaired, her rations replenished and her heart permanently taken by the big barbarian seated in the first officer’s chair. “Gale isn’t answering.” Zeta tapped her fingertips on the faded le...
“You come to watch me die?” He was dying today, as there was no way he’d face Badlands and his boys and live. “I’ve come to save your half-wolf buttocks.” The pack alpha quickened his long stride, eating up the ground between them, his best wolf rangers followi...
Sabria glanced upward, fearfully. The sky above her had darkened with Balazoid warships, the invasion having started at daybreak. The fighting originated in the city’s core, the missiles pummeling the walkways and destroying the buildings around her. My brother’s not coming for me. I have to save...
There was no need to touch her here. The historical estate was well protected from any intruders, demonic or otherwise. It was his sanctuary. He flipped the switch on his sound system, music banishing the silence. No, he touched Kayla because he wanted to and because she needed that reassurance. ...
Sexy peered at his naked form reflected in the mirror, touching his neck. He had been fussing over his inferior spare body, as he declared it, for hours. “No,” Vegas lied, the endless fretting irritating him while he waited naked on the bed for Raylee to return. His thigh no longer pained him, th...
It isn’t a new dream. I sometimes experience these after a long day of busting drug dens. Hunny’s in this one though. That’s different. She wears a blue dress with a white apron and is looking hot. There’s even a bow in her caramel-colored hair. I’m following Hunny down a rabbit hole except I can...
A small round table is set in front of Brick’s big wooden desk. Two delicate chairs are tucked under it. A white tablecloth covers the surface. His teacup and saucers are a manly plain white. Mine are decorated with beautiful pink carnations. The silverware shines. There’s a tiered tr...
HENLEY’S breathing levels and his shoulders lower. A small smile of satisfaction curls his lips, making him appear younger, almost boyish. “Thank you, kitten.” He presses a kiss to my forehead and stands, pulling me upright with him, the air cool on my bare skin. “We should get dressed. You’ll be...
He doesn’t move, doesn’t say anything. Three middle-aged women wearing white pants and matching pastel sweaters watch us, whispering behind their hands. I shift my gaze to them. The gossiping gals scatter, squawking with distress. “Miss Trent, I presume.” Ice drips from Mr. Lawford’s lips. He’s d...
Cables looped along the ceiling’s high beams, black, leafless vines against the electronic foliage. She sank into the nearest leather captain’s chair. “If I had a room like this, I’d never leave.” She spun the chair around, lifting her military-style boots off the ti...
Returning to my temporary home, I allocate the afternoon to choosing my top three options and filling out the forms. By working this second job, I should be able to manage financially. It will require a slight adjustment for Blaine and me, the shifts ending at midnight. &n...
This dinner is important to Blaine and I’ve insulted and fought with the guest of honor. “I’m sorry,” I mumble into Blaine’s chest. “Have I ruined everything?” “You’ve earned the undying loyalty of my team.” Blaine kisses the top of my head. “They’ll talk about this dinner...
Shit. The chair didn’t budge. “That’s embarrassing.” She shook her head, scowling at the deceptively delicate-looking piece of furniture. “What kind of wussy warrior can’t move a simple chair?” She stripped off her gloves as she prowled around it. “I need more strength training.” The door to the ...
She should trust him.What kind of bovine shit thinking was that?He was being delivered, bound, to the Humanoid Alliance. Those cruel bastards thrived on ending lives, on inflicting pain. Of course, Mayhem would be killed and she’d be responsible. She’d have to live with that knowledge for the res...
His pants clung to his body, the leather uncomfortable, ill-fitted for the planet’s hot humid climate. Perspiration beaded over his skin. His verme lifted, sensing Mirian’s approach before he did. She padded toward him, her quick, light footsteps easily recognizable. Our breeder. Furu glanced up,...
He gazed upward at the viewing area. Mira sat on a stone bench, watching the final stage training exercises. His opponent was learning his strengths and his weaknesses. Last planet rotation, she had made him lose control. He’d smelled another cyborg’s scent on her skin and...
His friend would compile the responses from the other cyborgs, construct the most detailed and accurate view of the ecosystem possible. With that duty delegated, Green donned the flight suit he’d stored in the shuttlecraft. The battle armor Zip and Barrel had convinced him...
“We have five minutes before your next meeting.” She stopped, his black leather chair empty, his mahogany desk clear. The door swung closed behind her. “Then we have no time to waste.” Adar turned the lock with a decisive click, his eyes gleaming. “Bend over and plac...
I help Hawke with his boots. He zips my dress. We leave the empty condo unit hand in hand, whispering like two naughty teenagers. There’s no one to catch us, the hallway and elevator empty. Hawke folds his arms around me as we watch the red digital numbers descend, our images reflecting in the mi...
The store teemed with the usual assortment of late-night shoppers including werewolves, demons, and other paranormals preferring the dark. “No. I believe I will continue to glower.” Russ grinned, his good humor irritatingly not at all daunted by Oro’s bad mood. “I’m ...
a voice sings, the words slurred. I groan and roll over, placing a pillow over my head. “You can’t hide from me.” Laughter pierces my makeshift earplug. “Hey, that rhymes. I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it.” My bedroom’s wooden door slams against the metal doorstop. Flesh smacks drywall once, ...
Smoke curled from a chimney, scenting the air. Tall pine trees surrounded the structure. Birds chirped. Situated half an hour from Iroquois Falls, the nearest town, her employers’ home and office was nestled amidst nature. She wanted desperately to be nestled between her employers. She&rsqu...
She didn’t worry about Jacob, because, through their bond, she would know if the orphan boy was hurt. No, she worried about Diego. She worried that he wasn’t thinking clearly, that he might put himself in danger. She worried that he couldn’t handle that she came with attachments, that she had kid...
I grumble. I like being cuffed to Wright, his dominance exciting me, but I’ll never admit to it. Mate! My inner beagle is beside herself with excitement. “No can do, ma’am.” He uses his sexy officer voice. “You’ll try to escape again.” Wright continues to be angry about my weak attempt to flee hi...
Ed adds his insights as the manager and an artist. Although I know as little about tattoos as I do about wine, my former marine patiently answers my questions, valuing my observations as an outsider to this world. I suggest some small changes to make the space more female-friendly. Both Hawke and...
Today, I’m Khloe with a k. I smooth the name tag sewn into the fabric, the edges of the patch lifting. Khloe must have been supermodel height. The hem of the skirt skims my calves. The red-and-white uniform is hideous, and my shoes don’t add to the ensemble. My black socks had to be removed. They...
Julian took the steps two at a time, excitement shimmering through his big form. He clasped the duffel bag containing the proof of his worth, his knuckles whitening around the leather handle. “Welcome back, Mr. Julian.” The Magnus Mansion’s gargoyle butler held the huge front do...
The next morning, Royce stared into the fireplace, his ass seated in the chair he’d fucked Starr over and over in, taking her in every way a female could be taken. The scent of sex and ripe woman lingered in the library, hardening his cock, reminding him of every thrust, every moan, every s...
Feelings of excruciating pain, insatiable lust, and love, poignant and true, flood my unconsciousness. “Viktor,” I croak. I sound like I’ve been on one of those alcohol-induced benders I specialized in during my college years. I twist in the luxuriously soft sheets, blindly reac...
