The Price of Vengeance Rain Drops
“And the years after that?” Disseus’ voice softened as he struggled to understand.Hating every word of this tale.“I lead them back to Enuchte. And the first fey I came across was a First Water Fey boy and his young sister. With the hoard sniffing at my trail, I’d no choice but to enlist the help of the children to bond Nierwae in the earth. Between the lands.”“You imprisoned Nierwae?”“Who else? I was fortunate that the two I came across were impressively powerful fey children. One destined to lead the guardians, and his sister fated to hunt the miraculous half-mortal fey that’d control the Giant Benu.”“You speak of Bernus and his sister Queen Risa Mane? It was they who searched for your daughter.” He hazarded a guess.Marnie. She controls the Giant Benu because he is her lover. It was finally beginning to make some semblance of sense.“Yes.” She nodded again. “I was lucky it was them. Together, we made a spell so powerful it took my own blood to break it.”He gave her a confused
The Price of Vengeance Not So Easily Forgotten
When she didn’t respond, he leaned over far enough to tip up her chin. “Are you implying now that you left to somehow benefit me?” He was clearly incredulous. His eyes holding a hard glint that told her he was furious at the mere concept. It's pure idiocy. “I didn’t say anything like that” She was looking everywhere but at him. “Don’t play word games with me and then pretend I’m foolish enough not to catch your meaning.” Giving her a long look, he added. “Please remember we’re not new acquaintances.” “I’m trying to forget.” Go ahead and keep trying. “I’m not about to let you.” He straightened in his saddle, leather creaking. She felt his assessing gaze but couldn’t bring herself to meet it. Because she knows I'll see straight through all her little games. The sharp lines of his jaw tightened. A muscle in his cheek ticked. *** “What do you mean?
The Price of Vengeance Purpose
It was Lon’s tentative voice that broke the tension “I could use your help here Edre, guarding Mora. If you wouldn’t mind.” The Hell you could. Disseus gave him a quick look. You're just trying to give her purpose in staying rather than defying me to go hunt. Disseus stared at him shrewdly. Clever man. “For you Lon,” She snapped before making her voice drip sweetness as she gave Disseus a purposeful look. “Anything.” Disseus stiffened and gave her a sharp look. She made it sound like an offer. Lon beamed, feeling as though he’d resolved the issue without bloodshed. He passed her a hunk of Almora’s leftover bread, as she sat. “Thank you.” She murmured. Leaning past Lon, she addressed Almora directly for the first time. “So, you know, I harbor no ill toward Dreads. And I'd have taken the bread from you. I was starving.” Uh oh. Disseus spun on his heel and gripped the door handl
The Price of Vengeance Staying the Course
She hissed through her teeth at the reminder that she’d chosen a mortal for a lover once. Over me. Certainly, not liking me pointing it out. Disseus’ rage vibrated the air. His usual air of command expounded to the point his presence seemed to fill the cottage. Blooming even as she looked at him. For the first time, looking at him, she was truly afraid. He stood before her, one of the only two creatures in either world, powerful enough to harm her. But never would she have thought he would. Staring down at her with his eyes narrowed, lips tight, and body emanating barely leashed fury it seemed very possible he could right now. “Why do you defend the mortal?” She blurted in surprise. Stopping where she was. Still gripping the handle of the blade, he clutched. But not missing the dark seeping drops winding down his forearm. “He’s accepted what I am. Far more readily than you and your kind ever did." She
The Price of Vengeance Skin & Satin
She opened her mouth, but when he quirked an expectant brow, she snapped it shut. Straightening on shaking legs she put her back to the wall to watch him fearfully. Afraid I may decide not to help her. He knew she was afraid, but he was so enraged he was having a hard time caring. Seeing she’d say nothing further, he rounded to walk away. His cloak cracked at the speed of his movement, as he suddenly faced her again. The cloth whispering to the floor behind him. As he stared her down. Jaw tight and face set in anger. She reared back out of his reach. Stunned at the violence of his turn. His elbows cracked into the wall on each side of her head, as he caged her in. She was pinned so suddenly, she found herself hissing through her teeth at the abrupt threat. Pawing herself for a blade. “Have you ever loved any man?” He demanded harshly. Wanting to say more but knowing he’d only get louder with every question he asked.
The Price of Vengeance To Avoid
“So, you do know her name.” He referred to Almora. Ignoring Nim’s efforts to rile him. He spun her out away from him. Catching her hand and pulling her back to his chest. She cast a dark look up at him. “I thought you only called her ‘the Dread’.” He met her look and slid his free palm firmly down the front of her belly and then twisted it over the line of her hip. Sliding it around to grip the globe of her ass to pull her more firmly to him. She swallowed a lump. Standing frozen under his ministrations. “W-What…I…” His failure to respond to her baiting, was unnerving. She reached to move her hair. Tossing it over her shoulder. But he caught that her hand trembled. Though she was willing to stubbornly persist on her track. “Or is it only that I am unwilling that you find so appealing?” “Are you?” He smiled skeptically down at her. “Is that what you’re telling yourself?” He chuckled mockingly under his breath. His breath stirrin
The Price of Vengeance Dreaded
He walked her backward. His lips slanting over hers in a slow sensual dance. A promise of what he wanted from her this time. Her hand lifted to press against his chest. She broke away from the kiss. “Don’t make me do this, Disseus. I can’t…Please, I beg of you.” “Of all the things I would give you, you’ll not have mercy from me in this.” He shook his head slowly. Conveying his severity. “Why!” She cried pitifully. “Why not?” Her desperation clear in the tinge of her high voice. In her shifting movements. She’s perilously close to running away. “Because, for a few moments, I’d have back what you stole.” He was watching her with dark intent. His movements to pursue her growing increasingly more predatory. She backed up faster. Deeper into the woods. Hands outstretched to keep him distanced as she floundered for an escape. “I didn’t steal anything Disseus.” “You did.” He said flatly. “When you took it all
The Price of Vengeance Rising Heat
She blew a long breath and steadied her shoulders as she slid the garment down. Letting the skirts pool around her ankles on the forest floor. As naked as God made her. And she was breathtakingly beautiful. In all his rush before, he’d not taken the time to appreciate her beauty. Not like I used to. He’d been too angry. And hadn’t really had the chance in all his haste to be inside her. He leaned onto his elbows to crook a finger at her. Knowing that his silvery white hair was shining in the dark. His icy blue gaze would look grayer and he was sure the intensity he was feeling was written over his face. Lips tight as he willed himself to be patient. She stepped from her skirt and walked hesitantly to him. Meeting his gaze nervously, as she lowered over his lap. She studied him a moment and knew enough of that expression on his face, to know what to do next. He leaned up and she docilely caught the bott
