“Thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank me. Sam called this morning and said she was leaving. I wasn’t sure how long your brother was staying so I figured I could pitch in and help out. It’s the least I can do for you after what you did for Raya.”
His quick temper flared. Her crossed signals […]

Sam decided she had allowed the sparring to go on long enough. With a swift jab of her fist into his stomach, then a high kick to his jaw, she laid Kong on his back. Just like before she sat on his chest, pinning his arms with her knees. Kong looked up at her and […]

“What are you?” Denise asked peeking through the crack of the opened door. 
“What do you mean what am I? I’m Markey Neville, your friend.” 
“No. I saw you in that alley. You aren’t human. You were glowing, your eyes were like fire. My God you threw those men around like they were rag dolls. No human […]

Jessica focused on Reed. He made quite a sight as he stood over the stove stirring his pot and wearing faded, worn blue jeans and green button down shirt. The clothes looked fresh and clean. He must have changed while she was in the spare room, she thought. His hair was black as night and […]

Michel stared out into the endless empty space. With the Halian War behind them, the future seemed bright, fruitful — boring. Sighing, he glanced over his shoulder. Even the hologram of his homeland of Sega-Ma failed to cheer him today.
“Commander Giat?” Central Control hailed him.
Pressing his wrist communicator, he answered. “What is it?”
“The Lady is […]

“Who are you?”
“Blake Alexander.”
When her blank stare continued, he clarified. “Henry’s grandson.”
Recognition lit her features, and her shoulders relaxed a bit.
“I wasn’t expecting you. Henry told me you lived in Oregon.”
“I do.” He nodded, then smiled at her, careful not to show too many teeth. He hoped he looked friendly, not frightening. This would have […]

 Devin quickly gathered his gear and headed for their best shuttle. The Moira was powering up as he tossed his pack behind the pilot’s seat and strapped in. Greg Roland didn’t bother to acknowledge him, just flipped a few switches to bring the pilot’s boards active. Devin ran the sequence checks then ordered the bay […]

Simple. She made the act of intimacy so very simple. Tor nuzzled her neck then trailed a stream of kisses to her breasts. The brown tips hardened in response. Lifting his mouth, he spoke. “It’s permissible to touch me and to tell me what pleasures you.”
“Kiss me again. It’s a feat I can’t accomplish on […]

That was Kyla’s undoing. Her eyes spat venom at him. “Bastard!” she hissed and struck his sword with force. He retained his balance and parried her cuts easily, forcing her to skip back several times. Then in one swift motion he trapped her sword and flicked it from her grasp, sending it flying some feet […]

The first time we met was in his hotel room in Callea. Big suite, big soundproof walls. It’s a good thing.
I think he thought I was more experienced, but he knew a hell of a lot more than me, and had a lot more nerve. Which is ironic, considering I’m the prostitute.
I walked in the […]

Mike Crane liked the pretty redhead the first time he looked into her dancing green eyes. The restaurant’s rule of ‘no hitting on customers’ prevented him from acting on his attraction. Now, here she is at the same vacation resort and the rules don’t apply.
Rissa Oaks and her friends have wondered if Mike, the hot […]

“You’ve been driving me insane all day.” He sank to his knees before her with one purpose in mind. The diamond stud in her belly button. He hadn’t forgotten about it, not by a long shot. Leaning into her, he put his mouth over it, tugged with his teeth.“Hank…” she cried out, pumping her hips […]

There was something slightly erotic about having a strange man rub her tits with a towel, and Claudia felt her nipples crinkle. She wanted desperately to grab a handful of that long blond hair and press his face right to one aching nub.
“Are you cold, Claudia?” Dante asked. He looked pointedly at her nipples. “That […]

“Excuse me, I think you dropped this.”
The man turned around. So he understood English at least. Good start. Laurel held up the black wool scarf she had just unwound from her own neck. She’d followed the man to his hotel a few blocks from the club. The finest hotel in the area, she noted, as […]

The antiquities shop looked like every other little storefront along the colorful, busy marketplace. It was a bit worn, the paint starting to fade and the front picture window a little dusty and smudged with fingerprints. The once dark green canopy over the open doorway was a paler shade of moss, frayed at the edges. […]
