With his mouth on her breasts he stretched one hand to her sex, slid it down the cleft, brushed her clit and then thrust two fingers in. Her hips arched up and he curled his fingers inside her, kneading the inner walls of her sex.
“Oh yes, oh fuck, fuck me,” she panted, sucking her lower lip into her mouth and biting it. Runako cupped her jaw with his free hand and pushed his thumb into her mouth. She sucked hard on his thumb, and his cock jerked in reaction.
He bit his way down her body, leaving faint teeth marks along her belly. Reluctantly he took his hand from her mouth, instead using it to spread her sex so his tongue could find her clit.
“I want your cock, I want your cock in me,” she moaned as his fingers thrust in and out of her sex and his tongue toyed with her clit. He bit her clit as he pushed a third finger into her sex. He remembered how she’d looked with his cock spreading her ass wide, and nearly came.
Deciding he didn’t want to wait any longer, Runako climbed onto the altar between her legs. “Beg,” he demanded.
She didn’t hesitate. “Fuck me. I want your cock in me. I want you fucking me long and hard. I want you, I need you, I love you.”
He thrust into her. Her back arched, her hips rising to meet his thrust. His balls rested on her ass and her sex clenched rhythmically around his cock. The chains binding her clinked as he thrust.
Mine, you are mine. My own, my beloved, my mate.
Runako came first, too aroused to wait for her. He pumped into her, spilling deep within her. He didn’t stop thrusting after he’d come. Instead he transferred his weight to one elbow and reached down to toy with her clit as he continued to thrust. Margo came that way, his cock sliding smoothly in and out of her, his finger on her clit and their gazes locked.
He pulled out when her body finally relaxed. He went to the bathroom and returned with a damp cloth, which he used to clean her sex.
Margo grinned up at him. “That was pretty hot, thought not as kinky as I expected.”
“The kinky part is coming now,” he said.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes,” he kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth and biting her lower lip. He broke the kiss and whispered against her cheek, “I’m going to leave you here.”
He stood and changed from human to Monster.
Margo was gaping at him. “Leave? Leave me here? Oh hell no!”
“Oh hell yes,” he said with relish. Her cheeks were flushed with anger and she was thrashing around, the chain clinking musically.
“Unchain me right now. You can’t just leave me here.”
“I feel that we’re already discussed this, and I can.”
“Well you shouldn’t.” She opened her eyes wide and poked out her lower lip. “I thought you loved me.”
“I do love you.” He nipped her protruding lip. “I will return shortly. There is something I must do, to prove my love to you.”
“You want to prove you love me? Unchain me!” she shouted at his back. He dragged the basins of oil closer to her to keep her warm.
“I will return,” he said. Margo’s curses followed him from the cave. With a grin he took to the sky, flying east. He didn’t notice the three shapes flying in from the west.
Margo quit struggling. She felt herself grinning, and sternly wiped the expression from her face. This was not acceptable behavior. He couldn’t just chain her up like a pet.
But that wasn’t what he was doing, and she knew it. This was just a game, and a fun one at that. Margo had every intention of leaving him handcuffed to a bed when they got back to L.A. That would make him crazy.
It was thrilling to be with someone who wasn’t hampered by society’s rules. If she didn’t trust him completely it would be a horrifying rather than sexy situation, but she did. Runako had machismo that just wouldn’t stop.
Margo leaned her head back and let herself drift into a waking dose. She hadn’t gotten much sleep earlier on the couch. She’d woken up with Runako’s mouth between her legs, and had ended up rolling off the couch to have sex with him on the floor, then they’d crawled back onto the couch so they could do it again, this time with Margo on top.
An hour passed in relative peace. Margo was half asleep when she heard a noise from the entrance to the cave. With a lazy smile she stretched prepared to accept her lover’s apologies for leaving her.
The voice grew louder.
Wait, voices?
!!!
Margo jerked her head up. Those were definitely voices, male voices. Terror, like ice water, flooded her. There was nothing she could do, no way to escape. She was naked and defenseless. The knife was by her hip, there was no way she could reach it, and even if she could it wouldn’t be much use for defending herself if she couldn’t move her arms.
A massive Monster with coal black wings stepped into the cave.
Margo screamed.
Lena ran over from behind the Monster. “Margo.”
Margo stopped screaming. “Lena?” she stammered.
Another monster entered behind the first. Margo screamed.
“Margo? Are you alright,” Akta asked, darting out from behind the second Monster.
Margo closed her mouth. Akta and Lena rushed over to her. “Oh my God,” Lena whispered, “look what he’s done to you. Oh, Margo, oh God.”
“Heya, Margo,” Cali said distractedly, looking around the cave. Jane and Michael entered next. Cali took a bulging bag from Jane as she rushed past.
“Wha-what are you doing here?” Margo stammered. She was acutely aware of her nakedness. This was definitely taking the cake for most embarrassing moment of her life.
“Rescuing you,” Jane said gently. She pulled the blanket from around her shoulders and spread it over Margo.
“Thanks,” she said distractedly. Jane tucked the blanket around her. “Wait, what are you rescuing me from?” Margo asked.
“From Runako.”
“How the hell do you get these things undone?” Lena demanded. She at Akta were at Margo’s right foot, trying to get the manacle unfastened. Michael ambled over. If Michael was here that meant the other two were Luke and Henry, she lifted her head to look at them. The Monster she now recognized as Luke waved.
And they’d all seen her naked.
“Oh God, just kill me,” she groaned.
“Oh, Margo. Don’t say that. Whatever happened it’s not worth dying for,” Jane said, tears in her eyes.
“What is wrong with all of you?” she demanded. Why were they here? “And what the hell is Cali doing?”
As one they turned to look at Cali, who was fiddling with a tripod. “You brought a DV cam with you?” Margo yelped.
Cali slid the camera into place, checked the viewfinder and fiddled with one of the legs. “Uh huh.”
“She didn’t have that thing turned on while I was naked right?” Margo asked Jane.
“No, she didn’t,” Jane replied.
“Oh thank God.”
“We got it.” Chain rattled as Akta and Lena figured out the clasp of the manacle and freed her right foot. “Don’t worry,” Akta told her, “we’ll have you out of here soon.”
“I’m not worried, honestly. Why are you here?”
“Do you think she’s in shock?” Lena asked Jane, sotto voiced.
“I can hear you!” Margo shouted. Akta freed her other foot.
A roar echoed through the cave. Everyone stopped. Margo’s heart beat hard, but that hadn’t sounded like Runako.
There was another roar, the sound reverberating down the passage into the cave. In the next breath a Monster shot through the entrance moving fast. He hurled into the cave, scarlet wings pumping. Luke and Henry jumped to meet the threat, each letting out a battle cry of their own.
“Oh my God,” Lena whispered in terror. Michael ran to them, pressed the women back against the stone altar and stood guard in front of them.
There was a blast of fire from the red-winged monster.
“Oh God,” Jane whispered.
“For the love of God,” Margo yelled in total exasperation. “Seling. Stop it. Luke, Henry, stop it.”
With her arms still bound there wasn’t much Margo could do. She twisted her hips and kicked Lena in the ass.
“What?” Lena demanded, whirling around.
“Stop them. He’s my friend.”
“Who?”
“Seling, the guy breathing fire.”
At that moment Seling let out a blast of flame. Henry whirled, raising his wing as a shield, the stream of fire died as Luke leapt off the cave wall where he’d been clinging like a bat and pounced on Seling. Henry staggered, his wing steaming but still intact.
“He is? Shit.” Lena leapt forward to stop the fight, but Michael caught her around the waist. As Lena repeated Margo’s comments to Michael, Margo kicked Akta in the butt. “Undo my hands,” she demanded.
Akta jumped into action, going to work on her left wrist. Michael moved forward to try and stop the fight, but Cali yelled, “Get out of my shot.” Michael froze in confusion.
Cali, with a muttered curse, picked up the camera, arms straining with the weight, and hauled it to where Margo lay. She jumped up on the altar, nearly stepping on Margo who swung her legs out of the way just in time. Cali hauled the camera up with her.
“Come on, come on,” Cali muttered. “That’s it, that’s it, baby,” she whispered to the camera as she kicked the legs of the tripod open and stuck her eye to the lens. “Ha,” she shouted in triumph, “who needs a DP? This is glorious, this is beautiful.”
Margo laid her head back against the fur and closed her eyes. The situation was officially out of control. The battle roars, thumps and hiss of fire stopped. Michael was standing in front of the Monsters, his arms raised, shouting in their language.
“Finally,” Margo said. Now that the fighting was over—
A roar shook the cave. Louder and deeper than Seling’s had been, this sound raised the hairs on Margo’s neck. Akta had gotten one wrist undone and Margo sat up, still tethered by one hand. She grasped the blanket and held it over her breasts.
“Runako.”
He shot into the cave like a bullet, flying rather than running. Margo shouted his name again, hoping to stop him, but he didn’t hear her. Her friends were standing around her, and the cluster of Michael, Luke, Henry and Seling was between her and the cave entrance.
Runako spread his arms and clotheslined Henry and Seling. Michael dove out of the way. The force of his approach carried Runako into the cave, Henry and Seling draped over his arms. He ground to a halt, talons screeching against stone, and dropped Henry and Seling.
With a second roar he turned on Luke, who leapt, meeting Runako mid-air. The two of them had fought this battle before, with positions reversed. The first time Margo had seen Runako was when he battled with Luke, Luke thinking that Runako had just killed Lena.
“Undo my hand, move out of the way so he can see me.” At her barked commands her friends jumped into action. All except Cali, who was happily filming away.
Margo jumped from the altar, wrapped the blanket around herself, and headed into the fray. She ran up to Luke, whose back was to her, and kicked his leg. “Move.”
Luke turned to look at her, his attention distracted, which allowed Runako to grab him by the arms and chuck him across the cave. He hit the wall and slid down. Lena screamed and ran to him.
“Oops,” Margo said. “Walk it off, Luke.” She turned back to Runako. He was panting from the battle. The veins and tendons in his arms and chest stood out and his lips were pulled back in a snarl.
The snarl faded, and he whispered, “Margo?”
“I’m okay, I’m okay. It’s just the girls. That’s Luke you just concussed.”
Runako blinked, the last of the battle rage fading from his eyes. He looked from Luke to Henry and Seling, who were getting up off the floor. “Oh.”
“This is the thanks I get for trying to defend your mate?” Seling griped.
“Defend her?” Runako asked.
“Mate?” Akta and Jane chirped.
“I saw three males enter this cave, and as I’d seen you leave earlier I came to protect her.” Seling ambled up to Runako, who clapped him on the shoulder.
“I’m sorry, my friend,” Runako apologized.
“Do I get an apology?” Henry asked.
“No. What are you doing here?”
“We came to rescue Margo.” Lena said tightly. She led a woozy-looking Luke, who was now human, over to the group. Jane took off the backpack she was wearing and pulled out a pair of pants and a shirt, which she handed to Lena. Lena helped Luke into the clothes.
“Why did you all of a sudden decide I needed rescuing when a few days ago you seemed to have no problem with me being kidnapped?” Margo said. Runako growled, and she jerked her gaze away from a naked and human Henry, who was pulling on clothes Jane had passed him.
“When you didn’t come back we got worried. I thought it was all in fun and that you were up here fucking his brains out and having a good time.” Jane motioned to Runako as he too changed from Monster to human. He stood there unashamedly naked. Margo poked Cali in the leg, “You’d better not be filming this.”
“You bet I am,” Cali replied. Margo rolled her eyes. “Whoa!” Cali shouted, and Margo turned to see that Seling had also changed and was, like Runako, naked. “Well hello,” Cali purred.
Seling grinned at Cali.
“I told you I’d be back on Monday,” Margo said to Lena, trying to keep the conversation together despite the rampant nakedness.
“It’s Wednesday.”
Margo blinked, and blinked again. “Ohh,” she said finally. “Woops, sorry, girls. It’s been a rough couple of days.”
“Where’d you get the finger licking good fire breather?” Cali asked.
“That’s all part of the story,” Margo assured her. “Okay, here’s what happened—”
“Wait.” Runako’s command shushed everyone. He ran to the other cave and returned wearing pants. He tossed a second pair at Seling.
“Why don’t you give those to me,” Cali said cajolingly. Seling, puzzled, handed over the pants. Cali chucked them over her shoulder and went back to filming.
Runako dashed out of the cave. Margo shrugged at her friends’ questioning looks. She didn’t know what he was up to.
Runako returned a moment later.
“You are my mate,” he said to Margo, ignoring the others. “You are my companion, my heart, from now until the sunset. You are not of my Clan, or of my people, but you are part of me. I have called you mate. I’ve told you I love you. But there is one last human custom I must perform to prove my love.”
He smiled, and Margo’s heart swelled. She loved him so much it almost hurt. She didn’t know what he was up to, but she was acutely aware of her friends watching as he professed his love. It didn’t matter that they were there, all that mattered was him, was them, and what they had together.
Runako dropped to one knee in front of her.
“Margo, I love you.” He repeated the words in his own language, then said, “You are my mate and I will be faithful to you, protect you, cherish you, love you.”
He pulled a small blue box from his pocket.
“Margo, will you marry me?”
Margo nodded, her throat too tight to speak. Her ears were ringing and her heart beat so fast she could barely hear. “Yes,” she finally choked out. “Oh yes, I will marry you.”
Runako took the (giant! Woohoo!) diamond ring from the box and slipped it onto her finger. He put it on the middle finger of her right hand, but she didn’t care. Runako stood, and she threw herself into his arms.
Her friends burst into spontaneous applause, Michael and Luke looked at each other, and Cali caught it all on tape.

Monsters in Hollywood, Book 1
Luke is desperate to save his people. A lifetime of sneaking into human houses and watching movies has convinced him that if he can make a great movie about monsters, humanity will change its opinion of them. With his friends at his side, all in shiny new human bodies, Luke heads for Tinsel Town.
A rising Hollywood producer, all-business Lena knows a good story when she sees it. Luke? He’s just another amateur who wants to get famous. But Luke’s too gorgeous to pass up. And there’s something vulnerable about him that leads her to throw caution to the wind and invite him to dinner.
One night of incredible sex later, Lena wakes up next to the surprise of her life. She’s sleeping next to a monster. Literally.
Appearances aside, she finds herself wanting to help Luke save his people. But they’ve got more to worry about than just human prejudice.
Some of the monsters would rather stay in the closet—and to make them all stay there, they’re willing to kill.
Enjoy the following excerpt for Lights, Camera…Monsters:
“What are you going to do if she wants to have sex?” Michael posed the question on all of their minds.
“Do you think she does?” Luke asked.
