  Maya whimpered when he suddenly released her. The sound of rustling fabric at her back halted her plea. In the window she watched him expose his ruddy flesh. She gaped at his reflection. He was so strong, his shoulders broad and muscular. He made her feel like a woman in every way.

  “Is this one of those positions?” Vintor rasped into her ear, and she nodded.

  One arm snaked around her pelvis, the other around her breasts, as he pressed his bare chest against her back. Vintor nudged her legs apart and curled his hips. His stiff cock pushed between her thighs, gliding through the moisture leaking from her core. His arousal branded her. She arched against him, lightning coursing up her spine. When Vintor’s cock emerged, she gripped his crown, rolling her thumb over the raised crest. He rumbled against her neck, his fangs scraping her skin, making her shiver with desire.

  “Bite me,” she moaned.

  He growled in response but didn’t bite her, even though she could tell he wanted to by the way his lips trembled. On his next stroke Vintor notched his cock at the mouth of her pussy and pushed slowly in, stretching her silky walls. Every knot on his thick shaft abraded her slick, nerve-laden flesh as he impaled her inch by glorious inch.

  “I adore you, Maya.”

  “And I love you.”

  After all these long miserable years, she was no longer alone, rescued from hell by the man who should’ve hated her, but instead gifted her with his love. Tears fell from her eyes as Vintor showed her just how much he adored her while galaxies whipped by outside. She wanted it fast and hard, for the beast to sweep her away, because the beauty of this moment was far more savage, stabbing deep and touching a part of her no one else ever could. Instead, his pulsing arousal moved within her so painfully slow that it was sweet torture. Getting lost in the embrace of her warrior was a wonderful plight.

  Epilogue

  Aculus

  It wasn’t a big surprise to find Nadzia hovering over the sanative capsule where her sire lay in stasis. He quietly studied her profile before she realized he was there. She wasn’t like the females he’d met during his travels in service to the Osivoire Nation. Her pale skin didn’t possess the remarkable coloring or patterns like the females of Munir and Telor. Her flaxen hair lay flat around her shoulders, not wavering with a life of its own like the crested beauties of Gaban. She didn’t have gossamer wings or seductive tentacles or even hypnotic eyes that could entrance prey. She was a far cry from the females of his homeworld who could strike fear in friend and foe alike. And yet he sought her out at every turn. Perhaps it was her simple beauty that drew him in, or maybe it was the enigma her species presented. Nadzia, like many of her kind, was so fierce in the face of danger, it was like she had no clue how delicate and defenseless she truly was. Or maybe she did know and accepted her mortality but refused to be daunted by her limitations. She incited his protective side, yet at the same time he loved antagonizing her, just to see what she’d do.

  But now’s not the time for the latter. Nadzia was worried about her sire.

  “Thorac is about to disengage. I assure you Brennan will be fine if you wish to go to Cadi to visit your sister along with Abby.”

  The thought of her fretting over her sire all the way back to his planet didn’t sit well with him.

  “No, Mom needs me. I already told Ash and Abby goodbye. Besides, I’ll see them soon, right?”

  The worry in her eyes cut him deep, and that was something since his shell was damn near impenetrable.

  “Indeed, as soon as he is healed. But I wanted to give you the option and assure you all will be well.” Aculus put a consoling hand on Nadzia’s shoulder and was pleased when she didn’t pull away. “Now, I was thinking, since your sire has to have his leg regenerated why don’t we give him an upgrade? The Ensifera can jump incredibly high. Granted their segmented legs bend backward and that would take some getting used to, but Brennan would be a formidable warrior.”

  “You are such a jackass.” Nadzia swatted his arm.

  Okay, so he hadn’t lasted long before riling her, but her scowl followed by the incredulous smile was worth it. And for some insane reason he liked her acerbic tongue. Few people were so brazen when speaking to the Premiere Servant of the Conclave and it was refreshing.

  “So, that’s a no?” He grinned.

  “Although Dad would probably think it’s cool, my mom would find a way to crack that thick skull of yours. But thanks for the offer.”

  Although Nadzia’s tone was sarcastic, the way she squeezed his forearm in appreciation wasn’t. His shell registered her touch like it did when anything grazed him, but for some reason the sensation went all the way to the quick. Aculus stared at her hand, completely stunned. He could feel the gentle pressure from every one of Nadzia’s little fingers, the subtle heat she radiated and even the trace of hormones her skin exuded. Aculus gracelessly tugged his hand away when the plate on his forearm started to retract of its own free will.

  “Well, I better see Thorac off,” he said abruptly and left before the weight of what just happened could sink in, because the implication of it would change everything.

  The Warrior's Pet (Cadi Warriors Book 1)

  https://books2read.com/u/brGokM

  Giselle didn't know how long she lay near catatonic, willing the terrible headache to go away. She sat up as one of the reptilian aliens entered. Giselle backed up and looked around, realizing she was alone in a gilded cage.

  "What's going on?" she stammered.

  "If you're wise you'll keep quiet. Pets don't speak on this planet," the creature admonished.

  A pet? Giselle's eyes widened. She hadn't misheard.

  Her cage was moved into a large tent. There were hundreds of aliens gathered for the auction, and these creatures were the largest yet. Their flesh was red like some kind of demon might be, with hair a uniform dark black. From what Giselle could see, their eyes were a stone-cold obsidian hue. Giselle noticed the fearsome creatures had long tails that rose out from what looked like chainmail kilts. Giselle shrunk back when she saw the creatures also had sharp fangs.

  How in the hell could she get out of this, and if she did, how could she possibly survive on an alien planet?

  Kagan beheld his pet. Nothing like her kind had ever set foot on Cadi. Kagan wondered where in the universe her unique species hailed from.

  Giselle refused to behave and even enjoyed his attempts to rebuke her, reveling in the rough handling a male usually refrained from with females. Giselle was brave instead of meek, standing up for herself in a sea of foreigners.

  Kagan had at first insisted that Giselle understand her place in Cadi society. But something more valuable than precious meta
l or jewels would be lost if Giselle were forced into the role everyone thought she belonged.

  Can Giselle find acceptance and love on an alien planet, or will she always be nothing more than a warrior's pet?

  Warriors' Providence (Cadi Warriors Book 2)

  https://books2read.com/u/mZP5ol

  Providence worked hard to become one of the first women to join her pararescue squad. It was difficult being one of the guys, and yet not, all at the same time. But Providence was up for the task. Besides, there was nothing more satisfying than helping your fellow man. It was what she was born to do. Never in a million years did Providence expect to find herself abducted from a routine mission off the Florida coast by...ALIENS.

  Dagaa and Madhava, once enemies, became fast friends, after a centuries long civil war. Both of them were beyond ready to see Cadi enter a new era. But now they face a new battle, convincing all of Cadi to embrace and rescue the Toufik, their former slaves, from a dying planet. It wasn't going to be an easy task. Infighting threatened their hard-won peace, and put Cadi at risk from a new foe.

  With so much at stake, Madhava and Dagaa are blindsided when they find a fiery-haired human female on their enemy's ship. Providence's bold and loving nature awakens a side that both warriors had long since forgotten. The only problem, can Dagaa and Madhava share her affection, and can Providence withstand the love of not just one, but two overprotective warriors?

  Only fate knows a warrior's providence.

  Warrior's Paradox (Cadi Warriors Book 3)

  https://books2read.com/u/bWzZgW

  June is bored out of her mind at the New Earth colony. The Miran Sona pamper the human colonists, but June's not a breeder, she's a scientist. So, when the opportunity presents itself, she sneaks aboard the Miran Sona's spaceship, to get a good look at technology she could only dream of. Next thing she knows, June finds herself stranded on a planet of barbaric looking demons. Frightened and unsure, June hides in the first place she finds, a high-tech engineering lab.

  Newly liberated Toufik are going missing on Cadi, and it's up to Tytus to help his fellow warriors discover who's behind the abductions. The last thing he expects to find lurking in his lab is a human female. All Tytus has ever known is his work, till the compelling female appears out of nowhere. June arouses savage desires, that he's certain she can't possibly want or withstand. Even though it goes against Cadi law, strains the alliance with the Miran Sona, and puts his mission at risk, Tytus refuses to let June go.

  It's a mystery how things turn out so right, when everything around them is going so wrong. But that’s what you get when you’re faced with a Warrior’s Paradox.

  Warrior's Pain (Cadi Warriors Book 4)

  https://books2read.com/u/3kr0KN

  Riley was sick of constantly getting the short end of the stick. If it wasn’t enough that she’d been sent to prison for her brother’s crimes, then got abducted by aliens; being hauled onto the auction block certainly took the cake.

  “You know what, fine, bring it on!”

  Unwittingly, Riley goaded Fate into throwing everything it could at her, and it did. The sadistic bitch, Destiny, put not only the lives of thousands into her trembling hands, but then it twisted the knife, making Riley fall for a man who was untouchable.

  “Life isn’t fair,” Riley gave a slight bitter laugh, her chin quivering. “It culls the sick and the weak from the herd with cruel efficiency. It doesn’t care if you can’t handle the avalanche that it rains down on you. It doesn’t know the meaning of mercy. It takes and takes, till you have nothing left to give, then casts you aside.”

  But Riley refused to break under the weight of it all. She couldn’t. The human colony, and Earth itself, depended on her. Riley just wished she could trust her instincts about the massive red-skinned alien who showed up at the auction to buy her. Unfortunately, she’d been hurt one too many times to take the risk, and the secrets she kept were more important than the suffering of a lone individual.

  Cyprian turned his back on his family’s less than honorable legacy, choosing instead to dedicate his life to serving the people of Cadi. It was that dogged focus on his duty that led Cyprian to the off-world auction, playing the part of a traitor. His mission was to find who was behind a series of abductions, and bring everyone safely back home.

  Except rescuing the tattooed, violet-haired human didn’t happen the way it should have. With her unbreakable spirit and hot body, Riley stripped Cyprian of the control he fought so hard to maintain. Yet the warrior found he couldn’t live without the pain in the ass.

  “You are mine. I never lied about that,” Cyprian growled at Riley. “You know it’s true. Stop lying to yourself. Don’t force me to tie you up, because you know I will. I may not be able to get you to spill all your secrets, but there’s one thing I’ll force from your lips.” It wasn’t an idle threat. Cyprian would seduce Riley till she admitted she was his.

  Discover how Riley and Cyprian drive each other mad and fall madly in love, while putting it all on the line to save their people, in Warrior’s Pain.

  Caution – This story contains triggers for some individuals. If dubious consent or coerced seduction, bondage, and rough passion offend you, please do not read.

  Warrior's Purpose (Cadi Warriors Book 5)

  https://books2read.com/u/bP50Vr

  Abby has fought long and hard against the undertow of grief trapping her family. Her sister, Providence, went missing nearly a year earlier, yet their father adamantly refuses to abandon the search. Abby struggles to maintain hope, but the loss hurts too much and life must go on, right? Finally beginning to accept her new normal, she’s unprepared for the arrival of two strange men who claim to know her sister while spouting stories of alien invaders. Worse, the giants looked more like demons than aliens with their blood red skin, and their unbelievable tale is just as cruel.

  Ashtoret was honored to be chosen for the mission that would save the human homeworld, although that wasn’t his only reason for going to Earth. He made a solemn oath to his friend Providence that he would bring word to her family she was safe. Never in his wildest dreams did Ashtoret think he’d discover his singular purpose for being on the hostile blue planet.

  Caught in the crossfire, Abby doesn’t know what to think, but she can’t stand by when all hell rains down upon their strange visitors. With threats closing in from all quarters, Ashtoret must fight to hold onto his sexy, brave human.

  Anguis Defenders Series

  Viper’s Hope (Anguis Defenders Book 1)

  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LGQULE6

  Hope covered her ringing ears as she stared wide-eyed at the molten rock strafing across the sky. It got larger and brighter with the smoke trail parting the horizon. The sudden eruption of water out at sea was cataclysmic when the meteor struck. The wave of water that barreled toward San Francisco a moment later was small at first, then grew in size. Hope watched aghast as the water pushed aside massive buildings. She couldn't begin to fathom the level of devastation in front of her.

  As if the tragedy she'd witnessed wasn't enough, something lurked in the trees outside her campsite. She watched as a portion of the tree separated from the trunk. The colors morphed into a bronzed, earthy tan figure of a man. The camouflaged man was at least seven foot tall with well-built legs and a massive broad chest. He swayed hypnotically as he walked with the sleekness of predator. His facial features were not human, yet not altogether frightening. He was an alien, a giant freaking alien, and he was abducting her!

  Before the scourge of the universe struck, Viper never aspired to do more than rule his people, but his entire life had changed in the blink of an eye. The tragedy galvanized him with a single-minded purpose, to see to it he defended the Anguis and any other race unfortunate enough to cross paths with the plague, and wipe it from existence.

  Finding his mate was the farthest thing from Viper’s mind as he attempted to rescue the humans off the doomed planet. With his own planet in turmoil over aiding so m
any other species and the universe at risk from the catastrophic plague, Viper never expected to find Hope.

  Caution - This book contains a rough scene where our heroine is chained and taken by our hero. If you have triggers, this book isn’t for you. However, fear not, in the end, Hope finds the experience mind-blowing.

  Fated Mate Series

  Nameless Fate (Fated Mate Book 1)

  https://books2read.com/u/bMQrWB

  Harper might get an uncanny gut feeling every now and then, but that didn’t mean she believed in portents, and certainly not the kind that got her abducted. As Harper gripped the bars of her cage in the alien prison, it sunk in that she seriously had been kidnapped from Earth, to become the fated consort of some alien prince. This wasn’t some elaborate prank, or government experiment. True to form, Harper pissed off the tyrannical king with her refusal. Now she found herself at the mercy of convicts, locked away and forgotten in the bowels of a mountain.

  Harper’s gaze fell on a shadowy beast of a man, sitting casually on the rundown catwalk. The imposing man looked like he ruled the prison. He was the color of midnight, and his eyes were that eerie arctic blue that was nearly colorless. Harper shivered as he regarded her.

  All Nameless knew was the Hold, with its misery and struggle. He never wanted to keep a female, surviving was hard enough, but that was before the Pink Pearl dropped into his world. Nameless had never seen anything like the stunning, exotic little creature. Not only was she the catalyst for strange dreams and revelations about his past, but she made him feel. He had to have her.

  Harper wanted free of the alien prison, and she wanted to go home, except Nameless wasn’t prepared or willing to let her go, even if she hated him because of it. He owned every part of her, and bound her to him, in ways that could never be undone, collar or no collar. In her wildest dreams, Harper never imagined the twists destiny could take, or that she would find soul-deep satisfaction with such a nameless fate.
