Imprisoned (Book Five of the Castle Coven Series): A Witch and Warlock Romance Novel
Page 10
Hailey nodded soberly. The Templars had never made it a secret that their goal was the eradication of all Wiccans. With the demon-possessed officers that they had created, that goal might be far more of a reality than anyone wanted to admit.
She reached for the water on the stand by her bed, but Lucius brought her up short.
“What in the name of all the gods happened to your eyes?”
Lucius’s voice was tight with control. She turned to look at him, startled.
“What do you mean? I can see just fine.”
Now Kieran and Piers were crowding close. Their expressions flashed from concern to confusion and fear.
“Do you feel all right? Are you in any pain?” demanded Kieran.
She shook her head.
“Talk to me, what’s happening?” she said, her voice quaking with nerves.
Instead, they guided her to a round mirror that hung on the wall. At first, she just saw her own face, pale from being in bed for two days and with red hair that was styled like a rat’s nest. Then she saw her eyes, gasping in spite of herself.
Instead of the green that they had been her entire life, they were a livid, purple tinged with green. Instead of the color being confined to the iris, it flooded her entire eye. She had eyes the color of the Shadow Walk Prison’s sky.
“What’s happening to me?” she whispered.

Excerpt:
SACRIFICED
Castle Coven Book Six
Her eyes still closed, Hailey smiled a little when she felt Liona’s fingers trail down her face from brow to chin. The other woman’s touch was light and sweet, making her think of the flutter of dove’s wings against her skin.
“It is not so much,” Hailey murmured softly. “I’m only tired.”
Liona shifted so that she was a little closer to Hailey, so close that Hailey could feel Liona’s sweet breath against her chin.
“Are you tired, dear one? Would you like to sleep for a little while?”
Hailey started to say yes, but something about Liona’s tone, sincere but with an undercurrent of teasing to it, made her pause.
“I’d like to shower, I think,” she said slowly.
“Of course, your long journey…”
“I might like it if you joined me.”
Liona’s laugh was soft and husky. When she spoke next, her lips brushed against Hailey’s.
“What a good idea. I shouldn’t want you to slip and fall because you are so tired after all.”
Hailey was unused to the freedom that she, Kieran and Piers had given each other to explore where they would. Some tiny part of her wondered if she was doing right. Then Liona was leading her to the bathroom where she ran the water and turned to Hailey with an expectant look.
“Come here, let’s get you out of that.”
Hailey mutely allowed Liona to strip her of her clothing and then guide her into the gentle spray. She watched in appreciation as Liona stripped herself. Liona’s body was a great deal like hers, both slender and small breasted. When Liona stepped into the spray with her, Hailey couldn’t help but embrace her, pulling her close for a kiss.
Liona kissed her for a moment before pulling away with a smile.
“I believe you’re in here to get clean.”
She picked up the washcloth, soaping it before running it all over Hailey’s body. Under the warm spray, Hailey leaned against the tile wall, closing her eyes as Liona cleaned her all over. Whenever she tried to return the favor, Liona smacked her hand.
“Let me look after you, dear one,” Liona murmured. “I’ll get my turn in a bit.”
Hailey wondered if she should be worried about it, but it simply felt too good. Liona’s slow and gentle motions and the heat of the water made her fall into a sleepy languorous haze, something that struck her has amazingly luxurious after the days she had had.
Liona was so gentle that she almost didn’t notice the other woman’s clever hands stroking between her legs. Those slippery fingers were working between her folds and touching the tip of her clit before her eyes flew open.
“That feels good,” she murmured, almost shy.
“Good, that’s what it’s supposed to feel like. Here, lean this way.”
Liona positioned Hailey so that she was braced, both hands flat against the tiled wall. Liona’s bare foot nudged Hailey’s feet apart so that she had access to Hailey’s most tender parts. For a brief moment, she simply pressed herself against Hailey’s slick back, pressing her breasts and her hips firmly against Hailey’s body. For a long moment, she rubbed herself against Hailey, purring with pleasure.
“Let’s see how you feel like this.”
Her hand slid against the curve of Hailey’s buttocks, seeking low and between her legs. Hailey whimpered when Liona inserted two fingers inside her damp opening, prising her open with nothing more than pressure.
“Tight,” Hailey murmured in surprise.
“Yes, and lovely as well. Tell me if it hurts.”
“And if it doesn’t?”
