Nemona can’t believe she’s
crash landed on the planet Fyrian with the brooding, golden-skinned alien who
destroyed her ship and scattered her crew. She should want to kill him. But everything on Fyrian is an
aphrodisiac. So she just wants to have him. Now.
Revenge.
That’s all commander Oten has wanted against humans for more than a century,
ever since they tried to destroy his kind. He never thought he’d end up in bed
with one. But the desire the sex planet stokes for this human female is eating
him alive. Keeping his hands, his mouth, and his vampiric fangs to himself
proves impossible—especially when she’s begging him to touch her.
Nemona
has no idea what endless sex with a Ssedez will do to her. But Oten knows all
too well. They need to get off this planet. Before their coupling stirs an
alien mating bond that neither of their hearts can withstand.
Excerpt
“The leather
holsters crisscrossing his massive pectorals contain knives of varying lengths,
sheathed and available for him to grab.
He stretches his shoulders and flexes
his chest. “There is a reason why your entire species is afraid of my kind.”
“Fairy stories.” I don’t care how
bright gold and incandescent his skin. It’s penetrable. No matter what the
tales tell about his kind being unkillable. I’ve got a laser gun.
He steps toward me. “Go ahead. Try
it.” His accent is strange, his tongue rolling over the consonants in a thick
burr.
I should shoot. Now. But my trigger
finger hesitates.
I don’t want him dead yet. I need to
find out, how did he do it?
How did he and his band of brutes get
onto my ship without my knowing? How did he accomplish
what no other army or species in the Ten Systems has managed to do—catch me?
I have to know. “How did you get on
board this ship?”
He pauses. “You invaded our sanctum
airspace. You must have expected retaliation.” His dark eyes narrow into slits
so menacing they send shivers down my spine. I don’t know what species he is,
but he fits the stories I heard in childhood: the Ssedez descended from
serpents, glowing like sphinxes, with fangs dripping in venom capable of making
someone a slave to their desire in one bite. Well, thank God, his teeth seem
normal enough, so that last part is likely myth.
Something odd happens to me that has
never happened and isn’t supposed to happen.
Not only am I not afraid of him, but I
become aware, physically, that he is male, I am female, and that I haven’t had
sex since…
I can’t remember.
It shouldn’t matter. I’m a general, a
ship captain, a career soldier, with ambitions that leave no time for personal
anything. Physical desire serves no purpose in my life.
But the ruthlessness in him, the
ferocious gleam in his eyes—it excites me.
The symmetry of his bone structure
alone is blinding. The ferocious angles of his cheeks and jaw are paired with
an otherworldly elegance in the gold sheen of his complexion. I’m glad my
helmet hides that my eyes are wide in fascination.
His hair gleams, too, like it’s laced
with gold flecks. The strands hang to his shoulders, unbound, a contradiction.
He’s an untamed beast formed with siren-like beauty.
He moves, his lethal muscles stirring
inside that gloriously brilliant body.
“Don’t come any closer,” I warn,
grateful for the scrambler that hides the shaking in my voice.
His body is physically distracting.
Hard, like metallic hard, and big. He is all brawn and possession—the epitome
of conqueror in strength as well as deed. And it’s not just his chest and arms.
Even his thighs, outlined in black leather, are thickly muscled and bulging. It
has me hungering for a glimpse of what is no doubt equally impressive between
them. And wondering if what’s between his thighs is as godlike as the rest of
him.
Apparently, despite decades of denying
it, there’s enough hetero-female left in me to know if I wasn’t supposed to
kill him, I would want him to fuck me. Now.”
